MORE PRosPECTs.-Hull Rice and
one or two others, who started into the
Buffalo Hump region ON a prospecting
trip, returned to town last Thursday and
report the discovery of good pay dirt
on tributary of the south fork of Clear.
water which they presume to be Ten
Mile creek. There is a long, flat and
wide basin well up towards the head of
the creek and they saw a prospect hole
evidently sunk years ago-which they
could see had not reached bedrock by
the small quantity of gravel thrown out,
so they sunk another hole in another
part, and found color from the grass
roots as far down as they went. After
sinking few feet the water bothered
them, but they succeeded in raising
color to the extent of two and one-half
cents to the pan. Owing to the dense
smoke which hides everything from
view the boys were unable to ascertain
the exact location of the creek, but they

ten miles above old man Johns ranch.
There is half dozen sluice heads run
ming in the creek and at the lower end
of the basin there is heavy fall which
gives good chance TO open up the
creek and dump into the canyon. The
gold is of the same character as that
found on the bars of the south fork. and
the boys started out with the intention
of getting to the prairie and returning
to rig up pump and go to bedrock, bui
were delayed by having to double the
Hump and getting lost in the smoke
and down timber. They will return in
a day or two, and large numbers of peo-
pie on the prairie are anxious that they
may strike it rich and develop a good
camp.

CLIMATIc.-Some people seem to think
that because this country is not deluged
with regular Noah's flood of rain at
every full and change of the moon, the
theory of the settlement of a new coun.
try causing it to become more season.
able is forever exploded. We do not
think so. BY settlement is generally
meant the agricultural development of
the country. When this view is taken
OF 1t we contend that the theory will
hold good. The settlement ofthis coun.
try has been much more rapid than its
agricultural development, and the peo-
pie are apt to look for a change in Gle
mate which they have not helped to
bring about. When seyenty-fiye or
ninety per cent. of the land is plowed
land brought under cultivation we NAV
expect to see change take place in the
nature of the seasons. 1t is safe to say
that not ten per cent. of the agricultural
lands of northern Idaho have been
plowed. The hard prairie sod sheds
rain like shingle roof, while plowed
and will absorb and hold large GUAM
tity of moisture. AS the cultivated
acreage increases, most of the rainfall
will be absorbed and the water supply
will be better and the seasons less un.
certain. The evaporation of moisture
ffom the wet earth will cool the air and
attract the rain clouds which will
afford fresh supply of moisture
for the repetition of the process. Our
seasons are already good and we conf
IDENTIFY except to see them improve as
the country is brought into agricultural
use. We call this a dry summer, and
yet we had rain ON the Fourth OF July
and again on August 20. Compared with
the eighteen months drought in Texas
and Florida. We who get rain every
month in the year should be the last to
Kick at the climatic conditions with
which we are blessed.

Several new ledges have been struck
in the new Alton district of late, which
are reported to be bigger and richer

NEW OFFIcE.-The FREE PRESS is now
installed in its own building west of the
Grange hall, where the editor can be
found sixteen hours day from now
until the swallows nest again, ready to
attach his autograph to payments of
subscription and advertising accounts.
The PRESS may now be regarded as one
OF the permanent fixtures of Idaho
county, although there are too many
people on the prairie who claim to be
too poor to pungle So per year, but they
feel rich enough to bum the paper every
week from their neighbors who had
the manhood to subscribe and pay for
it when it started. Non-subscribers
who desire to start in now will find us
accommodating enough to take wood,
wheat, warrants and money, or anything
else which we can utilise in q horse
trade. We draw the line at old clothes
as we came to Camas prairie and started
the PRESS for no other object than to
wear out job lot of old duds which we
have been accumulating since the war.

PINE CREEK. Ben Brown arrived on
the prairie Saturday after a summers
prospect trip through eastern Oregon
and southern Idaho. He took in the
Pine creek mines and says there are
some good ledges there, but lots of base
metal, and too much jawbone circula-
ting there to make good camp. in,
Osborne, he says, was about to bond his
ledges in the camp to a company of
Kentucky capitalists for S5S000 and ex.
pected to be on the prairie in few
days more. That Osborne is rustler
from Russellville "sure's your born"
and we want to see him pull out with
Doodle as big as west country hay

PIERCE CITY.-There is desire on the
part of the residents of Pierce city
that the southern half of Shoshone
county be annexed to Idaho county at
the next sessionof the legislature.
From business point of view it would
be good policy on our part, as there
would be large revenue derived there
from with no expense but the inciden.
tai cost of collecting, which could be
reduced by having deputy sheriff and
assessor over there. Since the develop
ment of the Cmur d'Alene country the
Orc Fino boys have been heavily taxed
and they are so far from the county seat
as to be completely isolated and deprived
of any participation in the county
affairs. We shall refer to this subject
again before the legislature meets, and
meanwhile submit it to tho people for
consideration.
