JAS. MoRIARrY, Jr., one of the own
ers of the Forest King mine, informs
us that they have run thirty-six feet
into the ledge since tapping it short
time ago, and are now, he thinks,
close to the foot-wall. There are
quite a number of veins of good ore
within the ledge that have been cross
ed thus far. They have a fine body
of ore, and the mine makes a good
deal better showing at this depth
$50 than in the old works above.
The fact that the Forest King is one
of the best mines in Boise county, is
now firmly established by the devel-
opments that have been made, and
the depth at which it has been tapped
proves that the vein is a true fissure.
The ledge matter is solid and firm,
and the tunnel has not been timbered
beyond the point where the ledge was
tapped. After the footwall is reach
ed drifts will be run both ways on the
ledge, and raise driven up to CON
meet with the works above-abou
t $50 feet. Work will go on in tht
5 mine all winter. The Forest King L
: now opened up in good shape, ane
, there is large amount of ore to b.
: stopped out between the tunnel ant
: surface, and with work carried on con
a tinually it will not be necessary t
). sink any deeper for years. We hav
t no doubts that this mine will turn ou
f big piles of the yellow metal and Ell
e ter the list as one of the rich mine
Il of Idaho.

A REPRESENTATIVE of the Bellevue
Chronicle visited Caldwell, railroad
town near the mouth of Boise river,
and only two months old, and found
about thirty buildings on Front street,
all but five or six of which are COM
peted and occupied by some charac-
ter of business, and the others will be
as soon as in proper condition. They
are substantial frame structures, many
of them having glass fronts. Market
street has several important business
houses as we'll as residences. The
Land Improvement Company, who
own the town, have a large, commo-
dious office. A depot has been erect
ed in front of the town and about a
mile of side track laid thereabouts
There is railroad iron sufficient about
the depot to lay seventy-five miles o.
the line, but now that the rails are
laid across Snake river, this materia
is being pushed rapidly to the front
Work commenced short time agC

SUED FOR LIBEL.

W. F. Petition, a pie-eater from
Chicago, said to have come to this
country for the benefit of his health,
brings suit against the editor of the
DODGE CITY TINES, to recover dam
ages to the extent of $4,000. This
modest demand is for an alleged libel
against Petitions character. The
statement appearing in the TINES of
last week, wherein we characterized
Petition as distinguished bond ex-
tractor and champion pie-eater. - We
shall admit the truth of the statement
that "Petillon is bond extractor" but
we shall retract the statement that Pc
tillon is pie-eater. - We have been
better informed on charges we have
made. While there is a general belief
that Petition has extracted several
bonds and papers in the District Court,
there is an impossibility as to the Sec
ond allegation. We have consulted
the free lunch stands in the city and
find that Petition takes to soup and
beans as kindly as duck takes to
water.

Miss Flora Stewart, daughter of

lest from Manhattan, where she, has

college.
The wooden shepherds around here
are fleeing their sheep of their year
growth of wool, and no doubt large
portion of it in the shape of ready
made clothing will fall in the hands of
the sheep clothing merchants we'll
known in our large cities, and eventual
ly the consumer feecest. The ancient
shepherds were noted for their good
ness and Goodness. We would be glad
to regard the modern shepherds for the
same noble qualities but cannot think
of it on account of their being so much
feecingi carried on in and eminating
from their business.
Our citizens are making arrange
ments to celebrate the 18th of July by

The committe on arrangements have
not met as yet, therefore we cannot say
what the programme of the days enter
tainment will be, but we feel assured
that there will be quite an effort made
to have grand good time. There is
cordial invitation extended to all to
join us in celebrating that day in COM

The following is from the Fort
Worth Journal and it finds an applica-
ton in Kansas: In few years men
who have no title to ranching land-or
at least to sufficient water front to
control range, will be driven out of
the business or forced to buy lands at
greatly increased values. Land that
can now be bought for three dollars an
acre will in few years cost six, and
all other grades of grazing lands in
proportion. This may very reasonably
be construed as advice to ranchmen to
fortify themselves with titles to their
ranches and water privileges.

man counties met in convention at

The State Board of Agriculture
has information from a number of
correspondents, covering almost the en-
tire state, concerning the condition of
the growing crops. The wheat harvest
will commence within a week. AL
though the acreage is short of that of
last year, the yield per acre will be
above the average for the past five
years. The area of corn is greater
than ever before, and although back
ward in some localities, the state has
never had such a prospect for big
corn crop. In some fields the stalks
are fully six feet high, with an ex-
cellent stand. The weather is ex-
tremely propituous, and with season
able rains for a few weeks this impor-
tant crop will be assured. Choice cul-
tivated farms in the state are command
ing $50, $40, and even $50 per acre,
while hundreds of thousands Of acres Of
upland prairies are being enclosed with
wire fences for pasturage. The future
outlook is extremely encouraging
