At r. r. McGurn's wood yard may
be seen a new invention that bids
fair to destroy the occupation of the
man with the AK who splits our wood.
The machine can be more simply de-
scribed as large ak fasteded to the
lower end of a piston rod. The
blocks are placed under this AK, and
it being operated ny steam power 1t
exerts such force that it will split the
knottiest log with single stroke and
without any apparent resistance. AS
now operated it strikes go times 20 a
minute, but is capable of making 100
A 7-horse power engine runs both
the chopping machine and the saw,
which together can saw and split ~
cords of stove wood day. The ma
chine is a curiosity and everyone
should call at the yard and witness
its operation.

ED. TELLER:-Some interest is ex
cited in these parts by the recent dis
coyerv of a mineral vein on the ridge
of Snake river above the mouth OF
Salmon, by Mr.. Osborne the well
known mining operator and prospee-
tor. The vein is represented to be
about 60 feet wide and in an unsual-
ly favorable location. The ore is ga
| lena with some zinc blende, arsenic,
etc.. and is of rebellious nature.
The silver contents have not been &C
curately determined as yet, but they
are undoubtedly considerable. Some
days since the skeleton of human
being was found on the ground IN
the vicinity of Camp Howard thai
was found by some hunters. An in
quest revealed nothing concerning
the manner of his death. 1t was The

day, accompanied by Mr.. Montague,

the Company to view the site and es-
innate the cost of the proposed dam
across Snake river, nine miles above
Walter s. McOuat's ferry. Mr.. Mon
tague is on his return home, and was
considerably surprised to find that the
patch of ground that would be cover
ed by water thrown out by the dam
was larger than the whole OF his ma
tive State. He is delighted with the
country, it's great resources, the feas-
Utility Of the dam project, in which
he sees big returns on all investments
made. His estimate of the cost OF
the dam is somewhat lower than that
Of Mr.. Cheasbro, who had previously
forwarded one at the request Of the
Company. The Co. will commence
work soon as charter can be obtain
