The Tvrolcsc mine in Germania
Basin, on the East Fork of Salmon,
was noticed in the KEYSTONE at the
time of the discovery, three years
since. 1t was there that Johnny
earn shot james Beregeman over
disputed ore, both being interested
i'm the mine, and since the settle
mcnt of that difficulty earn has
left the country and Bcrcgeman has
steadily pushed ahead in represent
ing his own and the interest of
James Wolfsohn of San Francisco,
who has steadily contributed to the
development of the property. Mr..
Wolfsohn, of whom we had occa-
sion to speak in our last issue, has
Just returned from visit to the
property with the good news that
it is doing immensely well. "A crew
of twelve miners has been at work
since the opening of the season,
and few days since tapped the ore
below all workings to find a good
body of very high grade ore.
Samples of the ore assayed in
ketchum returned rs high as $400
and even over 81 900. During the
past summer the ore extracted in
development, more than enough to
pay working expenses, has been
reduced at the Clayton Smelters.
Mr.. Wolfsohn now assures us that,
if trial lot of twenty tons soon
to be shipped to the Philadelphia
works proves satisfactory, all the
ore from the new workings will be
marketed here.
This is an instance of the feeling
that prevails in Germania Basin,
and it is gratifying to think that
this region, which is rightfully trib-
utary to Kctckum, may soon begin
to pour in her share of mining trade
TO this = the nearest point for
supplies and ore market.
Mr.. Wolfsohn further promises
his influence in bringing English
capital into the country, and it is
now his intention to eventually
secure half million for the pur-
pose of establishing smclters of
large capacity in the Basin. His
acquaintance with London capital
lists is such that his influence cannot
be questioned, and we hope soon to
give some favorable results.

Over which there was So much legal
and other fighting in the CGur
d'Alenc country for Il year or two,
has passed into other hands, and
the ground is now noted more for
its historical interest than for its
real wealth. The widow, who it is
said advanced the money for Pritch-
ard to prospect the Ceur d'Alenc
Mountains, and for whom the first
claim was located, passed through
HALEY a few days ago. She is
located at Ketchum in the Kctchum
Lodging House, near the Palace
Hotel, and will open up a fine
establishment, supplied with ladies'
millinery and furnishing goods.
Mrs. Edgington is the widow of
Abe Edgington, a prosperous and
prominent mining man once well
known on the Coast. She is very
large, fine looking woman, pleasant
in her manners, intelligent, and
one calculated to prosper in her
business. She has Il number of
acquaintance on the River who
will be glad to hear she has located
here.-Inter-Idaho.

The Chinese puzzle-IIow to get
rid of them peacably.
In many places the whites who
employ Chinese are in danger.
Proof has been found of thirty
nine Cinnamon killed at Rock
Springs.
The Chinese have resumed labor
at Rock Springs under military
protection.
The citizens of Butte have circu-
lated a petition to the Knights of
Labor to be easy on the Chinese.
Five Cinnamon implicated in q
murder were taken from jail at
Lewiston, Idaho, and hung by
the mob.
Many delays in filling orders for
coal at Rock Springs have resulted
from the Chinese trouble. They
are again at work. Fifty white
miners are wanted.
a convention of delegates from
all points of tho Puget Sound
country was held at Seattle Oh the
22nd instant to rid the country of
Chinese. The feeling is intense.
With boiled Cinnamon i'm San
Francisco and baked Cinnamon in
Wyoming, says the Denver News,
it is clear that the Monaghan prob
lem is rapidly becoming a burning
question in this country.
Chincmcn who are supposed to
have crossed over from British
Columbia in a sail boat into Wash
ington Territory were arrested by
L. S. authorities near Dungenesc.
They were sent back to Victoria,
but the local authorities refused to
allow them to land until they had
each paid the $50 fee as provided
by the act of last session. AS the
Cinnamon were without the neces-
sary amount they were sent back
to Washington Territory.

Sheep Mountain.

Sam Robinson Of Custer county,
and Rhodes of Boise Valley,
arrived here Tuesday from Sheep
Mountain. But little ore was
packed out for reduction this sea-
son. Rhodes had eight or nine
tons slneltcd and it turned out
$4,000. Geo. Baldwin & Co., had
100 pounds millcd. Result was
81 400. Twenty-Five tons of Mount
ain King ore, smcltcd, went 1920
per ton. The ore was packed a
long distancc-to the Clayton
smcltcr. Mr.. Robinson SAYS there
is a great deal of very good ore at
Sheep Mountain that could be
worked at profit ii the cost of
packing to reduction works was
stricken from the expense list.
Sheep Mountain needs a smeltcr,
and until it gets one that district
will remain at Il standstill.-Worid.

a young man who recently ar
rived from the east states that the
massacre of Chinese at the coal
mines in Wyoming was much
greater than report yet published
of the affair mas yet stated it. He
says that between 20 and 10 were
burned to a crisp in the flames of
the local Chinatown, and that the
stencil of the burning flesh was pos
itively sickening. AS the Infatuated
miners drove the Cinnamon into
ponds of stagnant water, putrid
with dust and decaying vegetation,
women would come out with shot
guns and shoot the Cinnamon, on
one side, while miners with picks,
shovels, knives, rcvolvcrs, etc,
would cut down all who saught
safety in flight, on the other side.
Some of the Chinese women lad
babes in their arms, but this did
not save them from the fury of the
mob, which killed or left for dead
all Cinnamon of all ages, sexes and
conditions whom they saw.

A Boise City, Idaho, special to
the New York Morning Journal
reads as follows:
a peculiar clopement took place
from this city last night and has
given rise to much excitement.
John Martin is a leading grocery
man and the proprietor of a lead
ing establishment on Front street.
He resides with his wife and two
children in a handsome residence
about a mile from the city. A few
weeks ago good looking young
Indian from the reservation near
this city applied to Mr.. Martin for
employment. AS he was ragged
and needy Mr.. Martin took him
out to his house and put him at
work doing chores.
The Indian was known as Run
ming Deer and proved to be a good
servant. Mrs. Martin, beautiful
blonde, who is considerably younger
than her husband, seemed to take
a great interest i'm Running Deer
and cndeavored to teach the Indian
how to read. He had got as far as
cat and will now have chance to
acquire still more knowledge from
the beautiful Mrs. Martin.
When the husband got home last
night he found the doors all locked
and no one around the house.
Upon climbing through a window
he discovered a note from his wife
informing him that she loved the
Indian and had eloped with him.
a small safe which stood in Mrs.
Martins bedroom had been broken
open and $500 in cash taken. The
clippers are supposed to have gone
into the Indian country with the
probable intention of gradually
working toward Montana.
Men with pretty wives and Indian
are driving the latter back
to the reservation.

DIR. NJ. ". Johnson and wife re-
turned from the east last Monday
to take up residence at the Cold
Springs ranch. The doctor unfor-
tunatelv finds things in bad con-
dition there resulting from the mis-
management of one Pennington, who
piloted away his horses, harness,
buggy and other personal effects,
under the prctensc of being a
partner.

BY the aid of $500 from the
county and some personal help we
will at last have the long-wanted
road to Little Smoky. Bill Thomp-
son is hard at work on the road
with a crew Of men and will finish
the road as rapidly as possible.
There is lots of ore at the mines
there awaiting its completion to be
shipped to the Philadelphia Smelt-
ers, and mountains of wealth that
hitherto could not be shipped
because packing ore was too cxpen-
sive. The road into this rich and
hourishing district will give to
Ketchum, what we have long antic-
ipatcd, its entire trade. Whoop
'er up!

To the wife of All Sing, on Tues
day, the 22nd instant, twelve
pound girl. The event of a birth
in Chinatown is one of no little
interest, in the consideration that
China families are exceedingly
scarce in this country, and a Chi
nesc child is generally looked upon
as a curiosity. DR.. Estes, the ply
stefan called upon, informs us that
a custom is established among the
Chinese of compelling a mother to
remain abed for one month after a
birth, allowing sufficient time for a
complete recovery and guarding
against possible relapses. When
this time expires the mother arises
and prepares with her own hands
the first garments put upon the
child.

Courtesy is due to others. 1t is
helpful to others. Treat even n
base man with respect, and he will
make at least one desperate effort
to be respectable. Courtesy is an
appeal to the nobler and better
nature of others to which that
nature responds. 1t is due to our
selves. 1t is the browning grace of
culture, the stamp of perfection
upon character, the badge of the
perfect gentleman, the fragrance of
the flower of womanhood when
full blown.

An exchange truly says: For
the practical miner there are rich
rewards in the mineral resources of
our country, if he has patience,
perseverance, and above all, stead
mess and cool head. For the
novice there is vast fund Of infor-
nation, and when this is mastered,
wealth also. That you have dug
coal, mined gold or silver ores, does
not make you miner; neither
will all the books in the world do
so, though their help is valuable.
1t is a calling only acquired by
experience, and made profitable by
hard study; study in natures
golden pages. The days of the
miner arc not roscate, though their
sunset may be golden. Mines are
developed only hy skill, labor
and capital.

ter, having been mentioned in the
Evening Post as a prominent spirit
ualist and the correspondent in the
celebrated Hal Young divorce suit,
called early this morning at the edi-
torial room of the Post which was
then crowded with members of the
staff. He struck at the managing
editor, who lodged the blow. Then
there was tumult in the room. The
telegraph editor landed his fist in
Fosters left eye, closing it. Just
then the river editor knocked Foster
on to the table, smashing a students
lamp with his head. At that mo.
ment the business manager came
rushing up stairs, and presenting a
pistol at Fosters head ordered him
to hold up both hands. Foster
obeyed meekly, exclaiming "For
Gods sake don't murder me. This
is the hottest hornets nest l ever got
into" This caused a laugh, and
Foster, having satisfied everybody
that he had no pistol about him, was
allowed to 60.

supply upon the same premises is
more common in towns and villages
than in cities, and not unfrequently
local outbreaks of disease, such. for
example, as typhoid fever, have been
traced to this fault. The devastating
epidemic of typhoid fever now pre-
yailing in the mining town of Plym-
outh, Pa, is attributed to the use
Of water contaminated by typhoid
excretions. Cholera may be propa-
gated by this same filthy mode of
infection. The active measurer in
sanitation which are being pressed
at the present time, throughout the
the country should embrace, as a
leading feature, the investigation of
the water supply in every case in
which there is suspicion of its pol
luton. 1t should be borne in mind
that the ground-water, by which
shallow wells are fed, is almost in
variably polluted in inhabited places,
and that no precautions that may
be taken in sinking wells can be
depended upon as securing a safe
supply"
