Petition.

The following petition has been sign
ed by the citizens OF this place, almost
without exception. twill be circulated
on the other side Of the Basin. The pc
tition explains itself. Our County At
torney, c. S. Kingsley, and all the rest
Of the county officers of this county,
have put their names to the petition:
'sTo his excellency, VIM. 81. Bum,
Governor OF Idaho Territory The un-
dersigned, your petitioners, citizens Of
Boise county, would respectfully state
that we honestly believe George Pier
son, who was convicted Of murder in
the first degree in Alturas county, and
who has been sentenced to be executed
ON the first OF August next, should not
suffer the extreme penalty Of the law.
Both Pierson and the man he killed, re-
sided for a short time in this county.
Pierson, as we are informed, was hard
working, industrious miner, while the
man he killed was a worthless charac-
ter, living on the earnings OF allow pros
titute, whom he was in the habit Of
beating and abusing. From all the facts
and circumstances connected with the
homicide, we believe Pierson should
have been acquitted, entirely.
We are reliably informed that during
his trial he was not represented by COM
potent counsel, aud that had he been
properly defended he would not have
been convicted. We understand that
Hon. H. E. Pricketf, an able and up
right Judge, who presided at the trial,
as well as Hon. JAS. II. Hawley, the Dis
trict Attorney who conducted the pros
ecution, both have stated that Pierson
ought not to have been convicted of
murder, and we learn that through the
laches of his attorney no proper case on
appeal was presented to the Supreme
Court that wonld justify that tribunal
in granting him new trial. We there
fore earnestly invoke for the unfortun-
ate man that clemency which, we be-
lieye, the facts in the case will justify

duty bound your petitioners viii ever

East Fork ofSaImon.

Persons just in from Germania Basin
ON East Fork On Salmon. give us the
following items of interest concerning
mining operations in that new district.
The Idaho, Biblebaek and Sam Boorne
mines have been worked ON leases since
late last fall by light forces and have
shipped among them sixty tons of first
class lead ore to the Clayton smelters.
The ores of these claims is entirely lead
and iron oxides of lead very similar in
character to the ores of Lower Wood
River. Until within the past six months
they we're worked entirely at Bayhorse,
but now find better profit in reduc-
ton at the Clayton works on the Sal
mon sixteen miles north OF Bsyhorse.
The Germania began mining for ore
two weeks since and will employ small
force duriAg the present working sea-
son. The Germania is the celebrted
claim that first drew attention to that
promising region, and from which the
surrounding country took its name.

SHOOTING AT HALEY.


An affray occurred at the "EevadA
Retreat, at HALEY. on Monday evening,
in which John Sullivan was badly shot
in the hand. The balls all took effort
in the palm Of the hand, but broke no
bones. From the account given by ths
Sews-Miner it appears that Sullivan
came in to get some m oney which ho
had lost at poker dealt by Kennedy.
Some words ard blows we're exchanged,
when Kennedy struck Sullivan on the
head with pistol. Sullivan gTasped
the muzzle, when Kennedy fred three
shots in rapid succession, striking -
above described Kennedy was arrested
and gave bonds in the sum of $500 to
appear for examination as socn a. Sulli-
vans wounds Will allow. Several per-
sons narrowly escaped being hit by ths
balls, as large crowd were about the
saloon.

In community which employs four
thousand men in its various industries,
who receive their wages at stated inter-
walls. the regular pay day is looked for
ward to with as much interest by the
business community as by the employees
who are to receive their wages. In Butte

on various dates from the 1st to the Goth
of each calendar month, and including
the disbursements at the mines, mills
and smelters for fuel, salt and sundry &C

Seven tons Of good ore have been ex-

The mining outlook Of this section OF
Idaho is indeed fiatteriDg and is at
present suffering nothing Of the inact-

ronizing the Clayton smelters are
keeping up quite currant Of life be-
