A Second Minnie Moore.

Messrs. Miller & Lusk, tormer part

were in town to-day. They say that
the new owners of the Minnie Moore
are thorough masters Of the business,
and taking out great deal of ore
They will soon start new shaft, and
will then have three engines at work
one for the jigs, and two for hoist
ing. The concentrating machinery
will all be running smoothly by the
first OF May, and there will then be
nine jigs at work which will have a
combined capacity of so tons per
day. About l25 or $50 men will
doubtless be employed until some
time in the summer when the capac-
ity Of the works will be increased to
100 tons per day.
The claim adjoining the Minnie
Moore-the Relief-which is now be.
ing opened by II. E. Miller, promises to
develop into a second Minnie Moore.

In from Lost River.

Floyd Perkins, the new postmaster
at Alder Creek, in the Lost River
country, came in to-day over the Trail
creek route, after his saddle horse, and
will return tomorrow, by way of Fish
Creek. He says that the Lost River
is the finest valley he has seen in a
long time, and that there is not 4 speck
of snow left upon its surface. The
cattle did we'll there this winter, and
are in fine condition. The land along
the river is nearly all taken up, and
what remains open now will be quite
expensive to irrigate.

FROM CEUR D'ALENE.
An Old hatleyite Who SAYS This is the
Ltvest Town He has Seen Since Last

Lovest Town He has Seen Since Last
Summer.
Harry Curtis, an old-timer in Haley,
who left last fall for the Weiser coun.
try to winter, has returned here, after
having travelled through Oregon,
Washington Territory, and the Cnur
d'Alene country. He says that
HALEY business men who complain of
dull times do not know what dullness
is, as this is the Invest town he has
seen since he left here.
The Occur d'Alene country, Mr..
Curtis thinks, is . fraud Of the first
water. The road from Eagle City to
HALEY via Heron Siding is lined with
dead-broke men who sometimes do
not get one meal in two days, and he
predicts that rs soon as it is known
that the snow is gone here there will
be big stampede in this direction.

The First Wedding In Ceur d'Alene.

The Nugget of April 8 says: "The
first wede ing in the district occurred
at 10 o'clock last Thursday, at the of
flee Of Singleton 4 Robinson. The
bridegroom was II. +. Scott, formerly
OF Shoshone Junction, Idaho, and the
bride was Mrs. Laura Bell Wright,
formerly of Lcadvil!e, and more recent
" Of New York. The parties have
known each other for twenty years,
and have been engaged for a long
ti,ae. Mrs. Wright cams from New
York to meet her intended husband,
and walked in over the Thompson
Creek trail. Few weddings have more
OF romance than this first one in the
new mines. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Mr.. Shipper. Jack
Enright and p. Weber signed their
names as witnesses to the marriage
certificate drawn up by Colonel Sin
gleton. Only a very few intimate
friends Of the parties were present.
The bride is lady of refinement and
culture, and is highly esteemed by all
who know her. Both the parties are
possessed Of considerable means, and
it is hoped they will conclude to make
their home in Eagle. After the cere-
monies were concluded, Mr.. and Mrs.
Scott returned to their residence, and
during the afternoon and evening re-
ceived the congratulations of their
friends. Several cases of very fine
chan Pagne were cracked in pledging
the happiness and prosperity of the
bride and groom"

The Keowee Courier says: we
venture the assertion, without the
fear of contradiction, that-any farmer
who will put the same amount of ma
nure per acre on ten acres of land,
plough it IN and SOW and harrow in
oats, he will realize, with one.tourth
the expense in cultivation and har-
vestipg, more money from the ten
acres than he could make in cotton.
The same is true of wheat. After
these grains are harvested the same
land can be planted or sowed in peas
and these he can cut, adding to hi'
profit. This Kind of farming, too
not only prevents the washing of the
land, but gradually enriches it. W.
see that for fifteen years, with all ou'
large crops Of cotton, the farmer
continue ir debt aud live year BY

EDITORS EDGEF1ELD ADVERTISER:
Since a great deal his been. said re
Gently through the papers in regard
to working of the public highways,
ycu will please allow me space auf
6cient for short letter.
A correspondent of one of tie
neaspapers laat week, asked the qpes
ton, whcse fault is it that the roads
are not worked? He answers the
question by saying: the white pee.
pie who live along the roads. Tbs
is, to great extent true, but not en-
tirely 90. The white people who live
! along the roads are to blame for not
making an honest effort to work
them. The County Commissioners
are to blame lor not prosecuting the
tSupervisors. The Supervisors are to
blame for not forcing the cverseers to
call out hands and work IL days in
each year. The: overseers are to
blame for not making the hands as
signed to them work the IL days.
Aud the people, those who live along
the different roads, and those who
SIT on jurief, are to blame for not sus
tanning the overseers in their ef3rts.
The overseeIs, / believe, though, are
mainly in fault. They should work
l2 days a year, and should have some
rule or system OF working. Ia most
places road working is only a farce
and frolic. No work of any conse
4 quence is doEe. Hands come to the
road at nine, ten and may be II
o'clock-laugh and talk three or four
hours at noon, and 60 home an hour
or two two Before light. For this the
overseers are alone responsible. Un-
der the law an overseer has just as
much authority as he wants. If the
hands fail to appear and work, or il
they refuse to work under instruction,
the law makes it misdemeanor and
they may be punished for 30 doing.
know full well that road overseer-
ship is an ungrateful Office, but we
certainly have honest and public
spirited men enough in the country
to accept the position, and discharge.
their duty. 1t is some trouble CT
course to return hands, and very
discouraging to try to work a road
when number Of hands try to avoid
road service through:a doctors certi6-
cate, and those who occupy the jury
bench do not sustain the overseer /;
but nevertheless it must be done, or
our roads are gone to the devil. 10.
dead they are not far from it now, l
am an overseer myself, and expect
to work every one of the hands az
signed me IL days. Then if l have
not good road, it will not be my
fault. l am determined to return
every hand assigned to me who works
at home, and will not work the road
under my instructions every time
they fail to work. I do not care II
