Y COUNTY ITEMS.

Belmont Courier, Feb. 10.
The weather was intensely cold in Bel
mont this week.
The work of development goes on as
usual in the Barcelona mine.
There is a prospect that some OF the
mines situated in Jet District will be
worked next summer.
Frank Mclean and James Bryson re-
Gently located the Keystone mine. Samples
Of ore from their prospect reached 500 to
the ton.
We were shown this week two rich spec
linens of ore recently extracted from n
of the claims situated at Marble Falls, this
county. There are doubtless rich mines
in that section.
The miners of Reveille District are still
engaged in the work of developing their
properties. Good ore is being encount-
cred, and undoubtedly bullion shipments
will again be in order early next Summer.

Vigorous s,rOsueesinm.

There is more vigorous prospecting now
being done throughout this section of
country Thar has been done for years, says
the Phoebe Record, owing to the large
number of idle men who are now devoting
their time searching for the hidden treas
ure, and a number of very promising
lodges have been discovered at different
points, and though little or no work of
development has been done on these claims
as yet, the big assays obtained from the
top leads us to believe that they will prove
valuable as development progresses. "It
is an i'll wind that blows nobody some
good" and II looks as though the dull
times would be the means of opening up
the vast fields of rich mineral that abounds
throughout this section Of the county.

Alexander Stephens lately wrote to an
applicant for his autograph that he could
not understand the craze which seemed to
possess collectors, but he added "Nor
can ! ses why any man should refuse to
grant SO slight a favor as the giving of his
signature to nothing. I suspect that the
refusal is nearly always an affectation. I
have known men who were sitting idly at
their desks, and to whom a letter asking
for ar autograph was a tickle for the van
ity, who would airily throw the missive
into the waste basket" Sumner used to
not only give his autograph whenever
asked, but usually i~nolcsed all the notes

Finishing His Th,rtieth Brace.

W. s. Walcott, on the last day of his
wager of eating 60 quail in 80 days, ap-
peared at Cases Hotel. He looked cheer
full and walked with a springy step. The
quail were served on a large platvor, in the
center of which a full feathered quail was
artistically mounted on a mould Of jelly.
The eater, with a remark about being
hungry enough to eat the center quail,
feathers and all, took one of the others on
his plate, and in three and a half minutes
nothing but the bones remained. Mr..
Walcott then attacked the other bird, and
in three minutes and forty seconds had de-
molished it entirely.
"How do you feel ?" he was asked.
"Firstrate," he replied.
"Could you eat any more quail?"
GAS many as you like"
"Three a day for 80 days."
Eyes, for 60 days"
He said, further, that at one time during
the match he felt great nausea and could
hardly look at quail, but after ''bracing
up he learned to like them. He was
ready to mako another match to eat three
quail a day st any time. Mr.. Case an
nounced himself as entirely satisfied, and
the stakeholder has turned over the
money.

WOOD RIVER ITEMS.

During the year 1881 the value of the
taxable property in Idaho Territory in
creased 81 ,272, 9l5. The increase in 1882
was more than double that amount.
The Mayhower, Jay Gould, Bullion, O.:
H., Minnie Moore and Idshoan mines, all
within six miles of HALEY, have from
$4,000 to 81, 900, 900 in sight and will
average an output of $500, 900 each this
year.
The Union Pacific Railway Company are
certainly doing much good to the Wood
hlver country in the way Of advertising it
literally. This is a great advantage, as
the advertising brings the country to the
notice OF men of capital and leads them to
invest in our mines and open them for the
employment Of miners.

The following article is going the rounds
Of the Eastern press; Many years ago
there resided in Buffalo a Mrs. Crocker, q
poor woman in such reduced circumstances
that she was obliged to sell many OF her
household effects, including at last her
f~avorite easy chair. This was purchased
by James Wagner. who, at his death, left
1t with the rest Of his property to his fam
lily. A little son Of Mrs. Crocker, then a
Troy newsboy, went West after his mothers
death, settled in Sacramento, and is to-day

THE COMMISSIONERS BILL.
What the People are Saying About
its PrOyfafOus.

HI eORlc are SAylnk ADOttt
its Provisions.
The bill Of Senator Foley, requiring the
County Commissioner to give bonds in
the sum Of $4,000, is being much talked
about. Some persons think that this
amount is entirely too small, if any bond
is to be required, for this reason, that, if
the County Commissioners are not men Of
integrity and unpurchaseable, it might
sometimes be to the interest Of rings, or
men with jobs to further, to furnish the
required bonds as an economical means Of
accomplishing their fraudulent designs
upon the county, relying upon being able
to escape their legal responsibility as
bondsmen in case of malfeasance in office.
There are some that think bonds nave
degenerated in this State into a mere
form, and are useless as. a protection
to the people against designing men in
office. There are others who hold that none
but men of unquestioned integrity and
honor would be able to furnish bonds for
the office of Commissioner, as the incum-
bent of this place ia Liable to severe criti-
cism always, and may be sued by any tax
payer after a meeting of the Board if any
bill of a questionable sort has been passed
PuiPVsoiy VI ny oversight. lueSo holu,
also, that men Of the proper character for
the Office could be depended upon without
bonds, and that hence to require them to
give bonds would be unnecessary and SUI
perfiuous. The section in Mr.. Foley's bill
prohibiting the Board from employing
eminent lawyers to assist the District At
torney is adversely criticised on the ground
that such services are often needed in
cases of great Importance to the county.
Though the District Attorney is presumed
to be a skilful lawyer, this is not always
the case; and even when he is a man of
ability in his profession he may derive val
liable assistance from consultation and
cooperation with other lawyers of great
learning and experience. employed by the
county to manage the case with him.

Merrill Confesses Nothing.
Butte Miner.
Threats were freely circulated in Glen
dale yesterday Of lynching Charles Merrill
for the alleged murder of V. II. Davidson.
1t was thought best, under the circum-
stances, to remove Merrill to the County
Jail as soon as possible, and yesterday fore
noon ar officer started with the prisoner
for Dillon. Quite a crowd of Glendale
people followed them, and some menacing
threats were made, but no demonstration
occurred until the depot at Melrose was
reached, when a number Of section men
from the railroad joined the mob and the
cry of "Hang him |" was raised. A rush
was made for the prisoner, and the officer
was overcome by the score of mon, who
seized him from every side. The prisoner
was roughly pushed and crowded across
the track to the water tank. After a few
moments delay a rope was procured, and
a moose being slipped over Merrill's head,
the other cad was thrown over a timber
projecting from the frame Of the water
tank. A score of men grasped the rope
and the miserable wretch was jerked into
the air. A loud voice shouted 'Let him
down to confess" and the swinging, strug-
Cling man was lowered to the ground. The
moose was loosened, and after some min
utes he revived, and was told that as he
was about to die he might as well confess.
Merrill stoutly affirmed his innocence, and
reiterated the story of robbing Davidson's
body, after he had frozen to death. He
was again hoisted by the neck, and then
let dow and given another opportunity to
confess, and the operation was repeated
five times, resulting each time in a stub
born declaration of innocence of the crime
OF murder. The mob were evidently i'm
pressed with the firmness of the prisoner,
and after the fifth hanging it was decided
to return Merrill to the officer, which was
done, and the prisoner was last evening
lodged in Jail at Dillon.
Merrill was not much injured by the
hanging, and the impression produced
upon the public mind by the determine
ton with which he adhered to his story is
rather favorable to the prisoner, many
now believing him to be guilty of no greater
crime than that OF robbery and dissertation
of the dead.

Fir, pine, oak and cedar of unsurpassed
quality and practically unlimited in guam
tity elothe the mountains, overhang the

cedar to 100 feet, with o eirth of over 90
feet. the white oak is 70 feet in hight, while
