the stream is the property of Uncle

to state that they were entirely igno-

this point, Colonel Mutton having
failed to report the deficit on his return,
and only did so at an express call from

has been the rule and not the excep-

ia The hope Of having quail on toast fOr
breakfast the next daV. Just at the
junction Of a small gnlch with Tur-
key creek and where timber is plenty,
Mr.. ]. Yaple was mor than surprised
TO find himself the center of a charge
OF bird shot. Fortunately for Mr.. Y,
his head happened to be behind the
trunk OF 4 tree and thus he escaped
what might otherwise have been a
serious injury. The hunter on finding
what he had done. instead of waitlngto
ascertain the effect of his carelessness,
starts off on a trot with one eye over
his shoulder, and when he had put a
safe distance between himself and the
injured, hallowed back to find if he was
hurt. Mr.. y says that if the Grafton
gentleman has any grudge against him
on account of lady acquaintance he
would prefer to make out quit claim
deeds to being disposed of as small
game.

Mill Sites.


The United States Mining Laws pro-
vide that where non mineral land not
contiguous to q lode is used or occu-
pied by the proprietor OF the lode, it
may be embraced in the application for
the patent of the lode. The owner Of
q quartz mill or reduction works not
owning a mine, can also patent q mill
site. The rulings of the Land Office re-
quire that in making survey in case
of this kind the course aud distance from
the corner of the mill site to the corner
of the lode claim must be given in the
field notes and plat. and copy OF the
notice and plat must be posted on the
mill site, and at the lode, also, for 90
days.
In case the owner of a quartz mill or
reduction works is not the owner or
claimant of vein or lode, the law per-
mits him to make application therefor
in the same manner ms that prescribed
for mining claims; and after due notice
and proceedings. in the absence of
valid adverse filing, to enter and receive

The Edmunds Law a Failure.

The Edmunds bill is acknowledged to
be complete failure as far MS the sup
preston of polygamy in Utah is con-
cerned, and the attachment of the Nor
mons to the institution appears to be
undated At the Church Conference
now sitting in Salt Lake city the speak
ers strongly commended it to the sup
port of the faithful, and rebuked the
faint heartedness and lukewarmness of
those who were frightened by the recent
Congressional legislation into sending
away some of their wives. The Church
has eighty -one missionaries at work
here aud in Europe, and reports great
progress. 1t now numbers 127 ,294 menu
bers and $4,000 families. Probably the
greatest impediment in the Way OF deal
ing with it energetically is the condi-
ton of popular sentiment about the
marriage contract in nearly all parts
of the country. In a community in
which divorce is SO easy and so fire.
quent, the Indignation against polyga-
my does not, IN spite OF all that is siilu
in Congress, easily become consum-
ing fire. In fact, as long as we tolerate
a mans having so many wives i'll rapid

who prefer having them all at once,

THE COUR D'ALENES.
Latest from the Scene Of the Stampede

From Frank Carey, who has just re-
turned from Pen ,dOreille Lake, we
gather the following meagre items in
relation to the Cour d'Alene country:
While at the lake he met parties from
the diggings, and from them we learn
that there are two claims which are be-
ing worked and are paying; he heard
nothing Of the reported fracas and the
killing OF any men; Barney Roudebush
and Tom Argyle have dug o drain some
400 feet in length and are thus enabled
to work their claim, out of which they
are taking some pay. 1t is hard coun-
try to prospect in on account OF the
heavy timber and the amount OF water
encountered; and as it is on level the
drains will have to be long; the country
is but slightly prospected as yet and Mt
this season of the year it is said to be
good place to stay away from. Mr.. Ca
rev left here with the intention OF go
ing in to the diggings, but on his de-
barcation from the train he found it al
most impossible to procure animals with
which to prosecute the journey, and as
he met several parties from Montana
coming out from the scene of the excite
ment he has returned to Butte for the
present. Butte Inter Mountain.
