A STUNNING DECISION.
Judge Zane Decides That POlyga.
mists are Liable for Each and
Every Offense.

Shortly after II o'clock this forenoon
! the Grand Jury marched in line to the
Courtroom and took seats facing the
Court. Prosecuting Attorney Dickson, in
! behalf of the foreman, addressed Judge
Zane, and said that in the examination
of case of unlawful cohabitation in
which the evidence tended to prove the
practice of cohabitation with more than
one woman for period of time, the ques-
/ ton arose among the Jurors rs to whether
more than one indictment for the speci-
/ fed period could be found.
The court instructed the jury that if
any man cohabits with more than one
woman as his wife, he establishes the
crime OF unlawful cohabitation, which is
punishable for year, month, week, or
any period of time since the enactment
of the Edmunds law, if the evidence
would seem to warrant an Indictment.
The jury returned considerably enlight-
eneG upon a new and broader field of
action than has ever before been given in
these special cases.
The ruling went like wildfire about the
town and struck many persons
WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING
Who have left no easy means of escape,
with the possibility OF getting 1856 indict-
ments for each year of his plural mar
riage.
From several conversations on the
street it has leaked out that an
edict from the church commands
that all plural wives be excom-
municated who testify against their
sanity lords. Yesterday Eliza Shafer
and Elizabeth Starkey went to the Peni-
Tertiary for contempt in not answering
questions propounded by the Grand Jury,
and another witness was heard to say
that she would 90 to the bastile and die
first before she would utter a word to
convict her polygamous master.
Miss Starkey, when subppnaed, was
found living in little, cramped house,
where she worked at manual labor and
slept at night on the floor. She said upon
the last arraignment before the Court
that she never lived SO well in her life as
she did at the Penitentiary, and had so
little to DO; that she never before occu-
pied carpeted room, and was furnished
with good food, reading matter, and with
NOTHING TO DO BUT ENJOY HERs95n, I +,
Sewing and whiling.n1ot but -i,-+HHf'
she thought Chsoo away the time, and
family be- zen 9Ina fI could look after the
fore 1m9rt6r than she could, and there
lo,:J she was glad to exchange places of
abode.
Such thoughts from young and de-
luded girl, bring a feeling OF sad
ness and pity to the mind of
every person in possession OF
Christian home. The slight punishment
dealt out to the defiant law-breakers has
been conformed to with more of the
actions of martyr or hero than as cor
rection for crime.
1t seems to be the intention OF plural
wives and polygamous lords to overstock
the capacity of the palace on the Bench,
where few months of quiet ease can be
enjoyed along with three square meals a
day, an occasional trip to friends in town,
and the praise of many who consider them
martyrs and heroes.

THE IDAHO GOLD BELT.
The New DevelO pments ora Cnmas
Prairie Said to be Opening Up
Spiendidiy.

superintendent Doniphan, OF the Camas
No. 2 Mining and Milling Company, came
to town Yesterday to bring in the bullion
resulting from the last cleanup of his
mill. He reports the supply of water
somewhat increased lately, and expects
no further trouble from lack of water until
next summer, and even then thinks that
the flow from the mine will be ample to
run not only ten stamps, but the ten adj
ditional ones now being manufactured for
him in the East.
The mill began running about June lat,
and run about six weeks. The machinery
was, however, not inclosed, and the men,
batteries nlatee---tse --vn~o ~ tho -, II,
= >...-.o, etc., MeIG III open
air and exposed to the weather. Then,
the mill being new, every part had to be
adjusted or settled before the mill could
be expected to run smoothly. Two cams
began wearing, some tappets sprung,
the belts had to be shortened, some
dies cracked and broke, the shoes wore
down, and other annoying accidents hap
pened, so that the mill did not run over
three full weeks altogether. During the
brief run it turned out about S. 900 worth
OF fine bullion. This comparatively sat
isfactory result, coupled with the develop
ments in the mine in the meantime,
demonstrated that with twenty stamps
and an adequate supply of water the
mill would prove paying investment.
An additional number of stamps was
fE rrlara1 n,,I tlox,
reach here they will be put in place and
the mill started up for an alI-winter run.
The cost OF running the mill this summer
has averaged 81 per ton; but Mr.. Doni-
phan is confident that, with twenty
stamps, he can reduce this to $3.50 per
ton.
The mine is opening up splendidly, and
the lode shows three distinct and separ-
ate strata or veins Close to the footwall
a strip from 10 to 10 feet thick yields the
richest gold and silver ore A horse

is 80 to 50 feet thick, the ore being some

This formation continues in depth, and is
shown by tunnel driven 20 feet below

feet below the former lowest workings Of

be used as special fund for rewards. etc.

ID. & 4. &. Ore Shipments From and
via Leadyilie.

From August to august %, eighty car
loads OF ore were shipped from the Blue
River mines, eighty-four car loads from
Eagle river. Most of the former went to
Denver, most of the latter to Leadville.
The shipments from Leadville, including
part OF the above, have averaged during
the month OF August from forty-five to
fifty cars day, say forty-seven car loads
at twelve tons. Thus tonnage of 564 tons
OF ore including iron. Allowing con-
sumption OF $50 tons by Leadville
smelters, the total consumption and ship
ments out of Leadville and vicinity ores
is fully one thousand tons per day. This
does not include the milling ore used
daily at the various mills OF Leadville.
All this ore before it can be milled.
smelted or shipped must be mined and
transported and large number OF men
are necessarily employed thereat. Lead
vile remains, therefore, the foremost
