w. E. HOLMES, Henry Taylor, John
Davis andsa Russian, name not known,
were drowned in Snake river, at Gran.
tie Point, near Lewiston, about two
weeks ago. A barge was moored in
the swift current of the rapids where
Holmes, the contractor, and his men,
were clearing out the channel under
government contract. The men
were going to their work in small
boat, which by the swift current was
forced quickly against tort rope
holding the barge and which was
partially submerged lin the water
Their small craft was upset, and the
four men were precipitated in ths
rapid current which carried them
away and they were drowned. Holmes
has been a large contractor, and was
the contractor in building the founda
ton of the Willard Hotel in Portland
and was @ man of much means anc
highly respected. He leaves a wife
and three small children in Portland
He was forty-fve years of age. The
above was CLEANED from the Lewis

THE Gold Hill company has put
their hosting works at the shaft 60
ing down on the Pioneer ledge, and
have the pump ready to put in. There
is considerable water in the shaft, at
present, to contend with. The shaft,
double compartment, will be put
down about $50 feet, and will reach
that depth in about two months.
Dave Coughanour and Chas. Macka-
voy, who have charge of the mine
and mill, deserve credit for the good
Judgment and energy they have shown
in opening up this mine, and for i'm
provements made in and about the
mill. The mill is supplied with self
feeders, rock breakers, and good
deal of old machinery was taken out
and new pnt in its place. The old
foundation of the mill was not in first
class cOndltlOn, SO tney put III ne"
one. The ore from the NINE will be
dumped onto screen, and the ore fine
enough to go through the screen drops
into the battery, and the coarser ore
that too coarse to go through the
screen, goes into the rock-breaker
and then Tito the self-feeders. After
being dumped into the mill it goes
on through without being handled
The machinery attends to it and sends
it on its way with regularity and just
as fast as the stamps can get away
with it.

The cotton and corn crops this year
will be the largest ever produced in
the U. S. The former aggregating
over seven million bales and the lat
ter over nineteen hundred million
bushels. The wheat crop falls very
much. below that of last year, but the
supply in connection with large sur
plus carried over from the previous
crop will prove more than sufficient
for all pequirments both for home
consumption and foreign demand.
These are the three great money crops
of the farming interests and their
condition could scarcely be more
hopeful or encouraging.

IDAHO ought to have another Judge.

IDAHO ought to have another Judge. |
for two reasons. First when case is
appealed to the Supreme Court, the
Judge before whom the case was tried
III the District Court takes part in its
disposition in the higher court, there
being three judges, and of course the
one before whom the case has been
tried, if there is disagreement be-
tween the other two, decides the case.
This is not as it should be. With a
fourth Judge, the one before whom
case was tried in the District
Court would not figure in the DISPOSE
ton Of that case before the Su.
preme Court. Second-the work in
the Second Judicial District is too
much for one judge, and if divided
into two districts, say Alturas and
Boise for one, and Ada, Owyhee and
Gassia for the ether, the presiding
Judge in each would have all he could
attend to and do'justice to his district
and himself. Just think of one hun
dred and twenty cases disposed of at
the last term of court for Alturas, and
then the calendar not disposed of.
Judge Broderick gets no rest. "A
term of court is 70 moresthan 4,closed
in one county when slime is called
in the next, and it is not infrequently
the case that cases have to be laid
over until next term for this reason.
A judges labors are arduous, and he
requires some rest. Unless he has an
iron constitution he cannotlong stand
the strain, and no constitution, nc
matter how strong, can jog along for
any length of time under the legal
4 load that can't be shaken off at will
without being worsted. We hope
that Delegate HALEY will use his best
endeavors to have fourth. Judge pro.
vlded for Idaho, and for q division
,of the Second Judicial District. II
he does, and succeeds, he will receive
thanks, without doubt, of every body
in said district, for the division, anc
Of the citizens Of Idaho generally

The San Francisco Bulletin SAYS,

The San Francisco Bulletin saws:
Dividend mines are very scarce in
Nevada and Arizona at present. We
have heard Of only one dividend from
either this month. Utah has only one
dividend mine at present, and Idaho
none. California has nothing to boast
of in this line. We know Of but two
mines i'll this state that pay regularly
every month. Even distant Dakota
does as well as that. It is not impos-
sible that Alaska will soon report a
dividend mine. More gold is coming
from Alaska this year than for any
previous year.
The World cannot speak authori-
tatively for Nevada, Utah and Cali
fornia, but the Bulletin, to our certain
knowledge, does Idaho an injustice.
Mines near this burg are paying divi-
dends and have been for years. The
Gold Hill, at Quartzburg, has been a
dividend paying mine for seventeen
years, and as soon as their new shaft
is down and the mill resumes work,
that company will again roll out diyi-
dends. The Mammoth, on Summit
Flat, is paying right along, and has
been for many years. The Banner
mine, which recently turned out $92,-
600 in thirty-nin days, and will con-
tiDue to turn out at that rate, will de-
clare pretty handsome dividend this
fall. The Forest King mine in sight
of this place, has been dividend
paving mine for sometime, and the
more it is developed the bigger are
the divs. We expect to be able te
add to this list next year. How about
/ Alturas, Lemhi and Custer counties,
There are quite a number of mines il
those counties paying dividends, ane
rye leave it for the papers published
in said counties to enumerate. The
Bulletin has not been correctly inform
ed about the Idaho mines.

Fraser's Murderers.

- sSSSA = ~ - - kCA0
The Nez Perez News says nins
deputy sheriffs were sworn ia at Piercs
CITY and were taking the FIVE China
men charged with the murder Of
Fraser, to Murray, when they wers
surrounded by fifty or sixty masked
men, after proceeding two miles. The
posse was ordered to throw up their
hands, which they did, being over
powered. They were disarmed and
given two minutes to get out Of the
way. They returned to Pierce City.
The prisoners were dragged from the
wagon and hanged. When the sher-
ifs posse returned later in the day
with reinforcements, they found the
1--we Cinnamon hanging by the necks
on pole dashed to two pine trees.
The pole had been broken and lash
ed to center post, SO that the VIC
Tins must have been hoisted twice.
After the examination was concluded
on Friday, at Pierce City, the vigil
lantes left, and it was decided to take
the prisoners to the Jail at Murray for
safe keeping, but the vigilantes had
previously decided to take charge Of
them at a certain point on the road.
The five prisoners first arrested
were those hanged, and they were
store-keeper and his partner, a barber,
gambler, and parasite of one Of
the Chinese prostitutes Of the camp.
The evidence revealed enough to
show that the deed was instigated
/ by the China merchant and his part
ner, and the deed was actually COM
mitted by the other three. On FRI
day morning, when the vigilantes
were extorting confessions, the mer-
chant was gently hoisted and lower
ed, and he came to the earth sense
less. He was laid under the tree, q
stick of wood put under his head, and
blanket thrown over him. HIS part
ner was then brough. down, shown
the dead o. body Of the merchant,
and threatened with the same fate
unless he told all he knew about the
matter. The rope was placed around
his neck and the prisoner then CON-
menced to lay on his partner all tile
blame, saying that he planned the
whole business. At this juncture the
dead (?) storekeeper jumped up, and
for some time the two kept up an ex-
cited jabbering to which the inter-
prefer listened attentively and ascer-
: tanned that each was accusing the 9TH
er of having given him away. The
+ pimp was quite young fellow and
claimed to be new conner in the
camp. but this was disproved by white
men who knew him. He had heavy
scratch on his face which he could
not satisfactorily account for, and the
superstition is that it was inflicted by
, Fraser during the deadly struggle
. The barber was "a heavy-set, brutal
= looking fellow, and he and the gam
:, bler~were undoubtedly the actual per
:, petrators Of the murder. Whethel
. they met their death bravely or alb
: kjectly nobody knows, as there wer,

y ipants.
