We are glad to learn that the rich
chute of ore recently struck in the Ruth
mine, is growing richer and larger as
tho drift is pushed south. The ore
shown as on average is quite rich, be-
ing full of gold and silver. If the
chute holds as good as it now is much
good ore will be taken from the Ruth

THE finest game country in Idaho, in
winter time, says the Keystone, is in
The 2 rtneuf canyon about fifty nil s
asst of P1cstell,, in the eastern portion
1f the Territory. Warm Springs, q.
he head Ct this canyon, contribute
'ufii,isn warmth 10 the water that
] )ws through 1t to prevent it from
reezng; and ducks by the thousands
make their winter home there. Deer,
antelope, elk, and great deal of
mailer game is also abuId Int, and !
enisos is shipped thence TO all points
asst on the U z. Railroad. Hunters {
n that section ought to be reminded,
y heavy fines, that Idaho has game
NV, and that the section which applies !,
D large game, prohibits the killing or 1
alling OF elk, deer, etc., between Jan.
st., and Sept. 1st. If this law is not
richly enforced there will soon be no
anne in Idaho. During the winter 7
lonths, deer, elk, etc., collect in the
alleys from the mountains and can be
aughtered by Wholesale, and have
Sen slaughtered by hundreds in past
inters-when the game law was not
force till February and March for
10 hides alone. The section of the
resent law applying to large gam n
ight to hay been made to read IRON v
&c. 1t. to Sept. 1st. Then by the
ne they collect in large bands in the
W country, and along the line OF the
ilroad, ii hunters who make bu,i-
IS of Strengthening game would b.
ohibited. During the summer and !,
IL, while game remains in the noun "a
ms, prospectors and others can Kill ~
they actually have any use for, but
the deer and elk scatter out through D
vi ie range OF country and do not II
llect in bands till snow falls, there ;
be- no wholesale destruction by the
nter. The law ought to be amen dad
the legislature next winter so as to
ID from Dec. 1st. During the month
December deer and elk will be killed
thousands for shipment east, if the
' does not prohibit, and in a very
'rt time our large game will become
met, but with the section above re-
rcd to amended so as to be in force 7
"a December lst, and strictly enforc- ri,
there need be no fear of deer and s s.,.'
