About halfrast two o'clock p. m
on Thursday, the 3Oth uItimo, word
came by telephone from the Parker
mine that Ward Willis, 4 well
known young man, had been killed
there a few moments previous by a
cave in the main tunnel He had
been employed running car, and
a short time after dinner his car
came out of the tunnel at consid-
cradle speed, and being unattended,
jumped the dump and rolled down
the mountain. At first it was
attributed to no serious cause, but
some time having elapsed, the
engineer, Dan. Allen, became
alarmed at the car mans non
appearance and proceeded into the
tunnel to find him. He found him
dead. A quantity of dirt COW
cred up one leg and a large rock
rested against his hip and back
which was probably broken
instantly. Help was summoned
and the lifeless form borne to the
ore house, and the sad news at
once dispatched to town. That
place in the tunnel had for some
time been considered unsafe, and
it is evident the unfortunate man
had run his car just beyond it
when the cave occurred, permitting
the car to pass on, but pinning
him lifeless to the earth. Deceased
had but a short time previous
remarked to friend that he
thought he would "jump the job
and go to HALEY, as he believed
the ground unsafe and that he
would be killed if he remained"
Delay in the execution of his
resolve caused him his life. Ward
Willis was cousin to the Alien
brothers and about twenty-five years
of age. He came to Ketchum from
Wanitowock, Wisconsin, where his
relatives now reside. There were
faint signs of life in his body when
found, but every effort to restore
him were in vain, as death had
claimed its victim too suddenly for
the feeble efforts of his comrades.

Mining Notes.

The Parker mine still has good
ore bodies in the 200 and 4OO-foot
levels.
Billy Turner has a summers
lease on the Monte Cristo, and now
has foot of good ore.
There is greater preparation
being made for prospecting this
season than for years past.
Queen of the Hills stock, which
sold six months ago for five cents
per share, now brings $3.50.
1t is rumored that the Baltimore
mine, which is one of the biggest
and richest in the country, will
soon change hands and be operat-
ed on large scale.
The Sun claims that a twenty
one ounce nugget Of gold was
picked out of the sluice box of the
Myrtle claim, in Trial Gulch, Cpur

Charley Davis reports having
struck it rich in the Adelaide, and
he is correspondingly jubilant
All of the mines in the Smoky

mines at Bullion never looked so
well as at present. A chute of un-
known extent has been developed

Not long since party who
jumped a certain prospect in this

much personal property as mans

Mrs. J. c. Jones, Of Little Pot.
latch, was found lying across her
bed dead, last Monday, and her
neck broken. The report of tho
affair, as correctly as We are able to
obtain it, is as follows: J. G. Jones,
n well known resident Of Little
Potlach, with his brother, was
building fence OH his ranch, and
under pretense of obtaining some
nails, the husband Of the unfortun-
ate woman went to the house.
Shortly after, he returned to tho
field and coolly told his brother
that he believed his wife was dead.
He did not show any agitation or
feeling as would naturally be sup
posed upon such an occasion. Tho
two men quietly returned to the
house. Upon entering Mrs. Jones
was found, as above stated, lying
across her bed and her neck broken.
Marks of violence were found upon
her neck, and appearances are such
that suspicion points to the hus-
band as the murderer. Z Jones was
arrested and taken to Moscow,
where he was examined yesterday,
the result being unknown. MIRA.
Jones was a daughter of Mrs.
Ovcracker, living beyond Genescc,
and was universally respected where
she lived. No cause is assigned for
the brutal act, which strikes heavily
upon the relatives and friends Of
the young wife.-Nez Perez News.

Wesley Clark, Superintendent of
the Ontario Co.'s mines Mt Boyle
Mountain, came to ketchum this
morning and reports the mining
outlook in that locality very hatter-
ing. The Gopher strike is develop
ing into a large ore body and the
company will derive boost from
this property, and the Ontario,
North Star and Sunday lessees.
All are taking out ore in paying
quantities and piling it up in read
mess for shipment as soon as the
roads are opened. This cannot be
long hence, as there is no snow in
the roads except where slides have
occurred, and these must be cut
through. Machinery is now en-
route for the repair of the Ontario
COMMENTATORS, which need new
faces on the rollers, and as soon as
that can be gotten into the works
they will be put in operation on the
Gopher ore and that from the
lessees. The mines in general at
Boyle Mountain are looking we'll
and promise to Oxford a lively sea-
son to freighters between that point
and Ketchum. The concentrates Of
the Ontario Company's works will
be shipped to the Philadelphia
smelters. Cloise Marlatt has the
contract for hauling them. Mr..
Clark is now having large lot of
cord wood hauled to the works.
The lessees on the Ontario mine
are Andy Nelson, York and Free
land on the Sunday, Louis Greg
DRY and James Rowe and on the
North Star, Jerry. Jerrans and
James Frythell.

A young man by the name of
Ed. Meyers came to Ketchum
yesterday by the hazardous
trail from Atlanta with the
intelligence that Asa Abbott lay at
the point of death at that place,
with paralysis. Mr.. Meyers was
sent for DR.. Mckay of HALEY, and
made the trip in twenty-four hours.
The DIR. was Immediately tclephon-
ed to upon his arrival, but stated
that he could not, possibly, leave
his patients in HALEY, nor could
he persuade any of his associates
to make the trip. He could prob
ably be prevailed upon to go could
he be assured sufficient pay from
the friends of Mr.. Abbott in
Atlanta, but the delay in attaining
this point, which would necessi-
tate the Immediate return Of Mr..
Meyers, would render useless his
going, as the unfortunate man will
in all probability be dead or conva-
lesccnt within the next six days.
The cause of his sickness is unac-
counted for, save that he is believed
to have received severe dose of
lead from steaming type; but this
seems impossible. He had been
sick several days and subject to
q number of violent cramps, each
of which Ahreatened to take him
off, and at the time the messenger
left, Thursday noon, he had been
unable to speak for tventy-four
hours. It is hard to conjecture his
condition at this time. Mr.. Meyers
went on to Haley this morning to
apprise William and Eugene
Abbott, Ewing on Deer Greek, OF
Asa's condition and they probably
took this evenings train for Atlanta,
via Mountain Home.

they seem mere pigmies. Such persons a:e

Judge G. L. Waters was in Sho-
shone Thursday morning on his
way from Albion to Bellevue, and
from him we cleaned the following
particulars of the robbery Of the
Minidoka and Albion stage last
Wednesday, he being one Of the
passengers on the day it occurred :
1t seems S. r. Gwin of Albion had
bargained certain tract of land,
together with a herd Of cattle, to
VIM. Johnson of Albion and his
partner Of Cheyenne, for the sum
Of $4,000. Mr.. Johnson sent for
the money, which arrived at Albion
safely, but in the meantime Mr..
Gwin had changed his mind and
concluded not to sell. The money
remained at Albion three or four
days when Mr.. Johnson, wishing to
return it to his partner, placed it in
care Of the Pacific Express Co.,
and it left Albion in their box
Wednesday morning, but when
about halfway between Colonel
Woods ranch and Minidoka,
about one O'Clock in the afternoon,
two masked men suddenly appear
ed from behind a large sagebrush
and with pistols leveled on the
driver and passengers demanded,
!" Halt Throw out the box !" The
horses became frightened and
SHE'D out of the road into the sage
brush, the highwaymen following.
AS soon as the horses could be
quoted the box was thrown out
and the stage was allowed to go its
way. The robbers were covered
from head to foot with suits which
TIT closely made OF gunnysacks,
only leaving small holes for the
eyes and mouth. Two horses were
noticed hitched about a quarter of
a mile from where the robbery was
committed, with saddles on. The
other persons aboard the stage
besides Judge Waters were T. d.
Curtis, the driver, Mrs. Storey, Mr..
Mellinger and his two children.
No attempt was made to rob the
passengers. The Cassia Times which
arrived this morning, in speaking
of the robbery says: Sheriff Stokes
and posse Of men have left to try
and obtain some clue to the rob-
bcrs. The affair is rather mysteri-
Gus and there are a great many
quiet surmises, which we have not
time nor space now to refer to"

What ahe EsaiGrants Think
Of Ii.

Last Saturday seven or eight of
the emigrants that came in lately,
went out to Camas Prairie to see
whether they would settle there,
and whether they could advise their
friends East to come here to settle.
Mr.. Stevenson, who represents
about two hundred in Illinois,
seems to possess good deal of
practical sense and experience. In
conversation to-day with a News
Miner reporter he expressed the
opinion that anybody coming here
with a family to take up a farm
ought to have some means Zone or
two thousand dollars) to start with !;
to buy a team, build a house and
purchase necessary implements and
supplies. Although his visit was
short, he was favorably impressed
with the productiveness of the soil,
beautiful scenery and the salubrity
of the climate.
It is we'll known that those
already settled on the prairie, who
labored wisely, have met with good
success so far. 1t requires some
money to make proper start, the
same as anywhere else; but energy
and industry will receive their
reward as Observation-Disclosures Miner.

The Salt Lake Tribune says that
quite heavy deal in Queen of the
Hills mining stock was made last
Monday. Ex-Postmaster James
T. Lynch sold Mr.. Charles Pepper
a block of 10000 shares, nearly or
quite his entire holding. The fig
ure is not made public, but it is
understood to have been between
81 and IS per share, probably from
$4,000 to $4,000. That beats
the wagon business or even post
Office. Not many months ago that
stock sold for Ave cents per share.

The Odd Fellows celebration, in
ketchum, of the sixty-seventh anni-
versary Of the order, on Monday,
the 26th ultimo, was fully up to
the highest expectations of the
ketchum lodge-Alturas No. 13.
The special train came in promptly
at twelve o'clock, noon, with good
number of passengers from Sho-
shone, Bellevue and Haley, and tie
procession and order Of exercises
were carried out TO the letter with
good success. The Ketchum and
Haley bands played, as was
announced, and the town people
did neat job of decorating the
streets with appropriate flags, ever
green's, etc. Metropolitan Hall was
well filled at the stated hour and
the audience, composed largely of
members of the order, Bellevue and
HALEY lodges having come almost
entire, who wore their regalia, was
held attentively to the end of the
exercises. The poem, "The Angel
of TRUTH" read by our townsman
Mr.. T. f. Clohecy, was rendered in
and efficient and eloquent style.
Mr.. Burners Grafton was appropri-
ate and consumed sufficient time
to cover the subject of Odd Fellow
ship completely. The other exer-
cises were as announced, and the
music was excellent-much better
than brass band could have made.
The hall was magnificently deco
rated with flags, paintings, chro-
mos, evergreens, and various insig-
MIA of the order, by Mr.. Brownlow.
The ball in the evening was a
much larger affair than was antici-
pated and was attended by upwards
of one hundred couples. Two
hundred programmes were distrib-
uted and not half dozen were left
over. All joined heartily in having
a jolly time, and the floor COM
Messrs. Coffin, Venable and
Cassidy, exerted themselves nobly
to make the occasion agreeable to
all. We can't pass unnoticed the
splendid supper gotten up by our
friend Baxter, for it was just simply
Don't forget the Bax-
ter Hotel can meet the requirements
of a grand affair about as readily |
as any of them. The ball was a
financial success, but we are
unable to report upon it at present.
The several committees labored |
hard to make the event a memora-
bic one, and they are justly entitled
to the praise of not only their
lodge, but the entire community,
for we were all benefited. Since
the railroad celebration this is the
first one of such general attendance
md perhaps none has occurred with
such general satisfaction. The
Odd Fellows have taken the initial
step that we trust may be followed
up by other orders existing
among us.
