 The Boston and Colorado Shelter at Argo, Col, has produced during the past year $3,907,G0O.

 P. F. Collins is working on a ga lena claim near Chloride, owned by o. F. Kuencer and himself, with the intention of getting out carload of ore in very short order.
 Now is the time to get out your lead ore. Lead is still going up iii the eastern markets.
 The Mineral Park mill started up on Thursday under the management of Charles l.. Roe, of tue firm of Roe Bros. He is an old Nevada mill man and has had large experience in handling quartz mills. We would like to see the mill run continuously.
 If the mill company will give the miners reasonable rates for milling, there is no doubt that they will get all the ore they want
 The time for dividing up with the mill has gone by. The longest pole knocks the persimmons now, or, in other words, miners will sell their ore where they can get the most money for it.
 The Silver King mine of Arizona has paid in dividends during the past six years $1,3OO,O0O.
 The first shipment of silver ore from the recently discovered Bullion mine, in the Quijotoa district, was made through Wells, Fargo & Co. on last Saturday. It consisted of about nine hundred pounds, valued valued at $12,0O0. Similar shipm ents will, it is reported, follow shortly.
 Silver is still on erise, being now quoted at $l.11t per ounce in New York, whIle lead has gone up to SL.35.

General Manager Patton, of the Bonanza firm desires the newspa- pers to warn people against rushing to Quijotoa yet. He says it is too soon for men to go there unless they are prepared to live several months without working. There is nothing for miners and laboring men to do there at present, and will not be till the water question shall have been settled.

Cottonwood and met the Rains party
about one mile and half this side, kill
ing the whole of them. Foster among the
number. Reuben says, that his dead
friend was sadly mistaken in seeing me
among the hostiles." He further says
"You will have no difficulty in finding
out whether was with. the ..hostiles dur
ing the war" He then cites several in
stances to show that he was not among
them, He mentions that he was wounded
by the hostiles. But all these do not
clear him Of the charge He was wound.
G after the hostles had been beaten at
the fight at the mouth Of Cottonwood
and in several other instances. and had
been driven to the Iolo Trail, and the
whole tide Of the battle in this country
had been turned against the Indians, and
Reuben saw that there was no anger any
hope Of tn ir~ success, and he could
then afford, as matter Of policy, to be
true i'll the service of the government
If Reuben was no, with the hostiles at
the time ofthc killing of Blewe,t, he can
easily make it appear by the scouts who
were with him at the time, where he was
at tina, time, and thereby prove an aiit,.
He says: "In all my scouting | always had
somebody with me, and | never was
absent from them at any time, and those
persons are still living except two" 1t
may be that those two were with him on
the day that Blcwett and Foster were
killed If so, Reuben is unfortunate in
having lost his cyidence of fidelity to the
government. The fact that the Indians
will not believe Reuben to have been
with the hostiles when Bcwett was killed
proves nothing. If they know where he
was at that time, let them establish that
fact He was the first man to report th,.
Blewett and Rains slaughter at the
agency.

much greater expense to the government
than at many other points in the territory
where there might be actual danger from
Indian invasion. After lie had gone,
and even while there, the people were
laughing in their sleeves and cbuckling
together to see how successful their fat
terry had been with him. The people of
North Idaho, while they are willing to pay
proper respect to the commanding officer
Of this division, yet are not willing to
stoop so low as to offer such fa,tery in
order to induce him to the performance of
a manifes, duty enjoined upon him by the
government, to see that the really exposed

GEN. MILDG' FEAST AT BOISE

How Gen. Miles was toasted and hon.
ored at Boise, the object and result-,he
whole thing transparent. We just give
hint at the matter below:
1t seems that General Miles at first de.
termined that he would have f. Boise
abandoned. The people Of Boise learn.
ing this fact, were determined to try the
influence of fattery upon him to prevent
this Accordingly on his making visit
there, they determined to lionize him and
give him great amount Of ;a:;ey. Tl~y
eulogized his military deeds Of valor in
the papers. Thy diued him on several
occasions with g.eat pomp. They floated
the tags on all their principal building.
They formed professions, with bands Of
music to escort him about the city. They
took him to the penitentiary and other
public buildings. They took him to their
schools, and formed a procession Of the
scholars to receive him. One hotel man
threw open his house, free to all his
guests and visitors. They wined him and
his guests free Of charge, andthey really
stuffed him with all the good things that
the people Of Boise could command, and
made him feel that he was lion indeed
The result Of all this was that before his
coming. be said, be had no convention Of
What Boise City and its people were, but
that ne found them on his arrival TO he
nasadieent and generous people; tha,
they had beautiful city, and in eonse,
quence Of this, he should no, take from
them the garrison: In this matter there
vas nothing shown that the people of
that section were in any danger from hos
Tile Indians, or that they had need of
military garrison at thar place, or tina,
nc could BE- maintained there wi,hoa, a

OBJECT OF THE POLL-TAX LAW

The statute requires that each male
person, over twenty one years of age, shall
pay poll.tax Of four dollars per annum
The object of this tax is to provide means
to build and improve the highways For
years Lewiston has been doing more than
her share in constructing roads outside
of her city limits. For this she is en-
titled to great credit, as the amount. here
toforc expended have been very large and
the tax upon each individual excessive,
During this time the regular poll-tax has
been collected aud expended, but exactly
how and where is hard to tell, as the
present grade of our streets is nothing
more or less than the natural lay of the
land The constant wear being in the
center Of the street, they naturally be
come followed out, so that when i, rains
water stands in these hollows. as there Is
no way provided so that it will run off.
The result is that We have stagnant water
standing in our streets a good share Of
the time. In very short time this water
becomes foul, and as it evaporates it fills
the air with poisonous gases, which are
very unhealthful. 1t may be safe to at
tribute much of the prevailing sickness
to this cause alone. While such state
Of affairs exist, it is impossible to deter
mine TO what extent this contaminating
poison affects the fatality in this city
Nearly all summer one of our leading
business men has been confined to his bed
with a fever. Much sickness has pre-
vailed and many deaths have occurred
The neglect in this matter is not only
chargeablc to those who have charge of
the repairing of the streets, but much Of
the responsibility rests upon our board of
health. 1t is their duty to allay all
forms (of contagion, and they should not
await the action of the street commission
er to remedy this defect Proper grading
can be done with but little expense, be-
fore grading witt. the rock and gravel
that is now being drawn on to the streets
is completed Would it not be well to
attend to this matter without further de-
lay?

FORT LAPWAI.

General Miles has ordered that Fort
JApwai be treated hereafter as an out
post of Walla Walla, and commanding
officer at Walla Walla shall have com
mand. A Lieutenant and twelve men of
the End cavalry are to be sent here tic
man the post This is what we call
whipping satan around the post. Not
5eingable to procure an order for the
complete abandonment Of the post. Gen.
Miles has seen fit to reduce the force to
the minimum. He removes the company
of End infantry now there under com
mand Of Capt. Dempsey to Boise, and
makes that post three company post.
Fort Lapwai is situated on the reservation
Of powerful tribe of Indians, large
portion Of which are peaceable, but among
them are many whose desire for hostilities
can be quickly fired. There are many
Indians among the different tribes north
that are much disaffected and would like
an opportunity to unite with the disafIect-
cd of other tribes in making war upon
the whites. Runners from these tribes
frequently visit and hold councils with
the disafected Of the Nez Perces They
have since the war Of 1877 attempted in
several instances to create disturbance, so
as to arouse these disaffccted Neg Pcrces
to arms against the whites and form
war party. But the peaceable Indians
have kept them in check, and the pres
ence of strong military force at Lapwai
has been threatening force against their
plans. If Joseph and his band should
come back here, they would easily make
up strong war party out Of the Spo-
kanes, Colyilles, Pend O Relies, Calispels,
Moses band, Palouses and Umatillas and
concentrate their force quietly in the
mountains east Of the Nez Perez reserva-
tion, without general warning to the
settlers. They could easily overpower the
peaceable Indians. they being unarmed,
and precipitate war against the whites,
and make raid that would do a great
deal Of damage, long before troops could
be moved from Fort Walla Walla 10 check
them. Walla Walla is by no means n
frontier post at the present day, aud the
troops cannot be maintained any cheaper
there than at Lapwai. The Lapwai post
is we'll fitted up for the maintainence Of
four companies, and is one hundred miles
farther into the Indian country, and is an
eligible point from which n blow could
be struck suddenly against any hostile
force that might present itself anywhere
near the borders of the Neg Perez resc,
walton. We Gun see no good reason why
It should not be garrisoned to its capacity
instead Of transferring its force to Walla
Walla and Boise, where it is not needed,
and where there is no danger Of raids from
hostile Indians. But Gen. Miles who
seldom visited this section, and knows
not the situation and condition of both
whites and indians, seems determined
In defiance Of Gen. Sheridan's promise,
that Lapwai should not be abandoned, to
reduce the post to twelve men, under a
commander at Fort Walla Walla, hun.
bred miles distant, despite the remon
strances Of i've Or six hundred settlers.
