Some parties interested in the
coal fields on upper Goose Greek.
in Cassia county, took trip to the
mines last week. They found
everything at the mine satisfactory
and in good order, the tunnels, cuts
and other improvements having
been damaged or washed but very
little since last fall. During their
visit they repaired the old workings.
drained tunnels, cleaned out cuts.
ETC., preparatory to further devel-
opmeats in the near future. We
understand that an assessment was
levied for the purpose of raising
the necessary funds for the further
development ofthe mine. As work
progresses the public will be in
formed, through the Times, of the
results, and the probabilities are
that lha residents of Cassia county
will, in the near future, warm them
selves by fires made from our home
production.-Cassia County Times.

A. B. Roberts, of Shoshone, took
a trip through Cassia county last
week. He is a dealer in several
different kinds Of marble, particu-
larly that of Dry Creek, in Cassia
county, We learn from him that
the marble at Dry Creek is in
greater demand in this and sur
rounding Territories than any
other, being closer grained and sus-
ceptible of finer polish than any
coast quarries. The deposit is very
large and easily reached, and any
size stone can be taken out from q
small mantel-piece to a large mon
ment. This deposit is destined to
be one Of the paying industries Of
this country at no distant day.
Mr., Roberts took numerous orders
from here for tomstones, and as he
is a 6rst-class stone cutie. our res
idents may feel assured that they
will receive excellent work. -Oassia

Dio Lewis, who died in Boston
last Friday, was very industrious
writer and speaker upon the laws
of life and health. He originated
the popular system of light gym
nastics, which substitutes iron
dumbbells with wooden ones, per-
hitting variety of muscular train
ing not possibly with the heavy
bells. This system was introduced
into many higher institutions of
learning, and opened the way to
the general adoption of calisthenics
in our primary and intermediate
schools. Dr.. Lewis was a great

much in q vein Of fond enthusiasm

Mr.. c. M. Foster, returned from
Snake River this week where he
has been examining into the feast
bility ofbuilding wagon road from
Huntington down Snake River to
the Pine Greek mines. He is of
the opinion that a good and cheap
road can be made.
The people of Huntington seem
to be in earnest about building the
road down Snake River to the Pine
Creek mines. This is a good move
on the part of the Huntington bus
mess men as by SO doing they not
only benefit their town but the
county in general. The Snake River
fruit crop promises to be unusually
large this year and if this road is
built most of this staple article
will find its way to Huntingdon

The sale of Syrup of Figs is
simply immense. Everyone is TAX
ing it, and admit that it is the best
medicine ever used. Children cry
for it on account of its pleasant
taste, and grown people who have
used it once never take anything
else. Unlike other remedies for
biliousness and constipation it
never loses its power to act, and 1t
always leaves the organs on which
it acts stronger than before. Besides
one feels fresh and bright and
realizes that it is Natures own true
laxative. Geo. J. Lewis is agent
for ketchum.

There are hosts of men and women who
to coin phrase, are only half alive. Tha,
is to say, have seldom if ever any appetite,
are nervous, weak, fidgctty and troubled by
numbcrless small pains and aches. In the
presence of vigorous, exuberant vitality
they seem mere plg,nies. Such persons are
usually fond of frequently dosing them
selves, swallowing in the course of the year
enough drugs to stock any apothecary' S
shop Of average dimensions. This, of
course, defeats instead cf furthcring the
end in view, Aiz: the recovery of health and
vigor. Were they to seek from an unfailing
source of vitality, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, how different would be their case.
Then vigor would return to their debilitated
frames, the glow of health to their wan
cheeks. their trembling uncertain gate
would grow firm and elastic, appetite, that
grandest of all sauces, would give a relish
for the daily food, were it ever so coarse,
and refreshing sleep would crown the tasks
of the day

It must be evident to tie super.
fetal observer that Cassia county
is destined to have what is COM
monty termed a "boom" during the
next two years. With the bulk OF
the immigration from the eastern
States pointed toward Idaho, and
with the peculiar advantages that
Cassia county offers, we certainly
have cause to expect as much. Ow-
ing to the promiscuous advertising
that has been given to other parts
of the Territory, most of the coun-
ties have held large per cent. over
Cassia, bnt the time has now arriv-
ed when the merits Of the country
are being considered by people look
ing for new homes. Such a thing
as failure in crops was never
known in this county. It's produc-
tions are attracting attention from
all parts the results of recent tests
of its ore have created new inn
petus in its mining resurces, and
the eyes of capital are now turned
in this direction. There is also a
movement on foot to develop her
vast bodies of coal; new markets
for her grain and produce are
springing up from all directions.-|

Let amusement fill up the chinks
of your existence, but not the great
space thereof.
Next to hot whisky, love has
probably done more to make fool
of man than any other one thing.
Though we travel the world over
to find the beautiful, we must carry
it with us or we find it not.
To be free minded and cheerfully
disposed at hours of meat and
sleep and Of exercise, is one of the
best precepts for long living.
In struggle with misfortunes we
are sure to receive some wounds in
the conflict, but sure method to
come off victorious is not to
run away.
Put your foot down where you
mean to stand, and let no man
move you from the right. Learn
to say " No." and it will be more
use to you than a knowledge of
Latin.
EMISSIONS are the common shelter
of the hard-hearted, the false and
the impotent when called upon to
assist. The really great alone plan
instantaneous help, even when
their looks and words rresage diff
culties.
You may hide your thoughts,
conceal your mind and your ac-
ton, but the smell of a raw onion
will arise in its might and
inform a sneering world how You
have gathered it into your inner
man.
Anybody can soil the reputation
of an individual, however pure and
chase, by uttering suspicion that
his cnimees will believe and his
friends hear Of A puff of the idle
wind takes million of the seeds of
a thistle and do a work of mischief
which the husbandman must labor
long to undo. Such are the seeds
of SANDER, so easily sown, and so
difficult to be gathered up, and yet
so pernicious in the fruit. The
slanderer knows that many mind
will catch up the plague and be-
come poisoned by his insinuations,
without ever seeking the antidote,
and the mischief is done.

The San Jose Herald sounds the
true bugle note when it says: cit
is great pity that the people can
not have a little common sense in
dealing with newspapers. Every
day some one comes into the office
to ask for a favorable notice of
himself or his business. Now, the
business of publishing a newspaper
is like any other business-It is
done for money-and there is no
more reason why it should give its
space and the time of its employees
to help other people than there is
for grocer to give away his sugar,
or an attorney his eloquencc. News
paper publishers are more imposed
upon in this way than anybody
else in the community, and it is
time they should try TO protect
themselves"
