Atlanta Wagon Road.
Statesman.

At meeting of the board of trade
of this city last week in the CITY Hall
the clerk, Mr.. Nathan Falk, read a
letter from Col. w. HI. Petit. of At
lanta, asking the people here to pro-
cure an engineer and necessary help
and survey wagon road up Boise
river to Atlanta and make correct
estimate of the cost and the people in
Atlanta would pay one-half the cost
OF the survey. The object being to
have the survey made and cost esti-
mated this fall SO that capital might
be secured and work commenced ear
ly in the spring.
The meeting passed resolution
accepting Mr.. Pettit's proposition and
committee was appointed consisting
of~John Lemp, VIM. Fl. Ridenbaugh.
Joseph Perrault, Hosea Eastman and
|. n. Coston to solicit the necessary
funds, procure an engineer and sufi-
Gent help and have the survey and
estimated cost made. 1t is calculat-
ed that the work will require from 25
to 80 days and the cost will be from
$500 to $1,000. This is a move in
the right direction and strong effort
will be made to push the long talked
of and much needed wagon road from
Boise City to Atlanta through as ear
ly as possible next season.

never followed Plowman around the

was done, when Plowman went over
and stopped on said corner; also that

him, and had made no threats, and
that ne had made no motion to strike
him. tie also says that he was phys

Full Citizenship net Required TO Vote
in idaho.

A writ of mandate was sued out
against J. K. Vincent, registry agent
for this precinct, by HI. T. Madgwick,
to compel said agent to register his
name as voter. The case was
heard on Tuesday evening before
Judge Buck. 1t appeared that Madg-
wick had declared his intentions to
become a citizen and taken the oath
to support the Constitution of the
United States; has resided in the
Territory four months and in the
county thirty days, but he was not a
full citizen, and could not swear that
he was such. The Judge heard the
case pro and con and decided that
the first section of our election law
restricting voters to full citizenship
was in violation of section 1860 of
the Revised Statutes of the United
States, and therefore void in that par
ticular, that any foreigner who had
declared his intentions to become
citizen before competent court, and
had taken an oath to support the
Constitution and laws of the United
States and the organic act of Idaho
and her laws, and had the four
months residence in the Territory
and the so days residence in the
county could vote at any election in
the county Lewiston Teller,

Fl. W. DUNroN, candidate for Co.

side of the county, on an electioneer-
ing tour. He informs US that rs vo-
tiers in Upper Squaw creek had reg

one or two who had not been up to
the Captains Office to put their names
to the list. A number of citizens of
Lower Squaw Creek said they did

The Virginia Chronicle saws: sSil-
yer mites never die. From the DAYS
OF Cortez, in 1921, down to the be-
ginning OF this century, and even to
the present time, the Mexican silver
mines have poured forth an unceas-
ing stream of silver, such as the world
has never seen. it is estimated that
the value Of the silver coin and bull
ION OF the country since the conquest,
is over $4,000, 900, 900, and it is we'll
known that some of the mines have
been proftably worked almost with
out interruption from that time to
this, and that one of them at least is
still running out silver at the rate Of
So,o0O,0OO per year. California has
yielded about 81, 100, 100000 Of gold
and silver. Nevada has turned out
something like 100000, OOO-possii-
bly, more. If it were all in dollars it
would take every man, woman and
child in Storey county at least year
to count it. Suppose that all precious
metal was silver dollars, and that each
dollar weighed 412d grains, and that
10 such dollars would weigh one
pound, and that s7O,0OO,OOO a year
for 80 years has been secured by the
people of the United States, it would
weigh 131, 100000 pounds. Now, let
US load this vast amount into wagons.
Allowing 5000 pounds for each wag-
on, it would take 43, $50 wagons. AL
lowing 80 wagons per mile, it would
make train of wagons 5465 miles
long. If the train started from Vir-
ginia City, the leaders would be drink

The immensely of the fortunes
which it was heralded were to be
found in the Ceur d'Alene mines may
be inferred from the fact that finely

What singiser Says About Those
Affidavits.

Affidavits.
Boise Cry, IDAHO, Oct. 81, 1884.
Hon. James Z Onderdonk, Chairman
Republican Territorial Committee.
MY DEAR SIR: My attention has
been called to af1idavits of one Curtis
Estes, appearing in the Idaho Demo-
crat recently, In which he charges me
with having appropriated specimens
intended for the Denver Exposition
to my own use, &c. In reply l beg
leave to say that no specimens of any
description whatsoever from Estes
or any one else ever came into nv
possession for the Denver Exposition
or for any other purpose
Such specimens were collected from
different sections by local agents and
forwarded direct by express to Den
yer. So far as the Exposition itself
IS concerned, | never attended it for
the reason that some time after nv
appointment as Commissioner | re-
celved the Republican nomination for
Congress, which fact in addition to
other duties prevented my going to
the Exposition.
In regard to those other affidayits stat.
ing that | made a certain contract with
him and read it differently from what it
was, have only to say that the contract
referred to was drawn by Hon. Geo. Aims
lie, one OF the parties to it, and in his
handwriting, and was read and explained
to Estes by Mr. Ainsle The said con
tract is in this city and can be produced
if any one has desire to see it.
Estes is known about Bonanza as aman
devoid of principle, and at times some
what shaky in the upper story The ami.
mus OF Estes production emanates from
the fact that certain mortguage on his
property in which am partially interest.
ed becomes due November 1st, and he has
not. am told, the money to meet it. Pos
sibly this affidavit may have been pur-
chased just as the Bingham affidavit was.
AT any rate both are devoid of truth, and
show to what desperate straits Mr.. HALEY
and his crowd are willing to resort to to
carry the election. But the people will
not be mislrd by villification and abuse
from the living and vital issues now be.
