Wood River Dead.

None of us here even dreamt of it
before, but it is nevertheless true that
this whole region is dead--dead as a
doornail. We had to go away from
home to learn the news, however, and
found it in the Virginia (Nev) Cbron-
icle. Here it is:
A letter from Salmon Falls, Cassia
county, Idaho, says there is no truth
in the rumors that men are making
from So to $40 in rockers. Only those
who are working on large scale are
making anything. The writer thinks
that Lava Creek will be a good camp
next summer. Wood River is too
dead to talk about. Lost River does
not amount to much and Atlanta is
about the same. There is promis
ing little camp on Pine Creek. Miners
in from the head of Snake river give
glowing accounts of the placer and
quartz mines in that region.

A correspondent writes from Sol
der: The road is broken on the prai-
rte from Corral Creek to Crichton.
and from Soldier north distance of
4 miles and to Sifers's sawmill. The
stock looks well, but times are very
dull. There will be three dances
next Friday-one at Crichton, one at
Soldier, and one at John Cross.
Colonel Ballantine was in town
yesterday, having come over from
Muldoon the day before, on snow
shoes. He left Muldoon at 8 o'clock in
the morning, and reached Bellevue at
6 in the evening. He left for home
this morning. He reports little work
going on at Muldoon, but says that
the mines in which Colonel Ravens is
interested are making a good show
ing, and will yield much first class
ore next summer.

THE IDA MAY.
1t Is Showing a Foet Thick Of 800 TO
400 Ounce Ore.

Jack Galbraith, who has just visited
the Ida May mine, on Lookout Noun
tain, which is principally owned by
ii. t. Flughoff of this city, says that
the property is very promising one
indeed. The ore-vein is 10 to II
inches wide, of "solid truck" that as
says from 800 to 400 ounces per ton,
the ledge is strong, regular, and shows
nearly uniform width the full length
OF 4o-odd feet exposed by the drift.
The workings are about 125 feet deep.
"A carload of ore is on the dump
ready to ship, and as much more can
be extracted when wanted without
stopping. In fact, the workmen will
have to extract no inconsiderable
quantity in drifting.

BLACKBOARD EDITORS
They Are No More Entitled to Respect
than a Thief.

The latest issue of the Idaho Re
porter comes to hand with an article
which expresses our sentiments so &C
cnrately that, Notwithstanding our
firm resolve-taken many years ago,
and confirmed since-to never do
more than scarcely allude to black
guard sheets or their "editors" (God
save the mark9 we reproduce it. Here
it is:
There was saying of Horace Gree
ley's, which though now unable to re-
call in his words, was to the effect that
he was unable to account for the mys-
FERROUS dispensation of an inscrutable
Providence in placing some men at
the head of the country press.
Another widely-quoted saying of
his was this: "Any ignoramus can
be blackguard; but it takes brains,
and heart, and hard work to make a
paper that a father can take to his
daughter, a mother 10 her soma pa
per that is of ANY VALUE to a COM
munity." That wise saying has been
our guiding rule from our first Issue.
ED. TIMES
1t is reminder of this when some
few of the exchanges of the Reporter
are perused. While no one questions
the right of journalist to discuss
the acts of public men and to expose
their weaknesses and incompetency,
and to warn the public of the exist
ence of frauds and swindles, the aver
age man does not accord the right to
any journalist who, from the prompt
ings of malice or jealousy, assails a
personal enemy or perhaps the editor
Of rival journal who would not
know him were they to meet on a
public thoroughfare.
The editors who indulg in vituper.
alton are generally of low class,
and resort to it for the reason of their
inability to write upon any
subject of general interest. Ask
one to explain the difference between
ad valorem and specific duties, and
you would be very likely to be fol
lowed by Topsy's inquiry, as it good
to eat?" The Reporter is of the
opinion that if editors have difficulties
they should be settled as other men
settle theirs without whining in their
respective journals to the disgust Of
| their readers.
Having no patience with these fell
lows who bring disgrace upon ar
otherwise honorable profession, the
editor of the Reporter ceased to
notice their disgusting twaddle in the
days of long ago. BY noticing them
it is taken for granted by the public
that one voluntarily places himself
upon an equality. While the great
mass of the people look upon black
guard as no more entitled to public
respect than a thief, a conflict oil
words through the medium of the
columns of the Reporter will not be
resorted to by the present editoria

sweeten the tea and coffee. The Oh

dition of beef bone or piece of meat
and penny bunch of pot herbs, will

PENNY GROCERIES IN NEW YORK.
Their Number Increasing In That

Their Number Increasing In That
City-HOw the Poor Manage TO
Live.
Within the last six months a num-
Der of Italians and Germans have
started penny groceries in that part of
the city populated by the poor, and
these places all seem to be prosper
Gus and thriving. Ten cents is
thought by these grocers to be big
bill, and the investor of a quar- ter is
inevitably regarded as a millionaire.
In conversation with Mail and Ex-
press reporter leading retail grocer
said:
"There is no doubt that these pen
ny groceries are on the increase.
They are an evil, and the penny gro
Ger is really the poor mans enemy in.
stead of his friend. In the penny
grocery the poor man pays twice as
much for his provisions in the long
run, and doesn't get as good quality
as if he bought them in moderate
quantities from larger stores. The
penny groceries are stocked with what
the poor man is likely to buy. The
quality of the provisions is not good.
The coffee and tea are especially poor,
and the vegetables invariably stale.
Many of the penny grocers sell bad
whisky to their customers, but few
allow it to be drunk on their premi-
ses."
An Italian who keeps penny gro.
Gerry in South Fifth avenue, near
Blocker street, gives the following
list as an illustration of what can be
done in a penny grocery with silver
