A MAGNIFICENT SHOWING.
An Ore-vein Twenty. -four Feet Wide
Cut Into in the North Star Mine.

About two weeks ago all important
development was made in the North
Star mine, on the Eass Fork of Wood
River, III an entirely new portion of
the. mine. The men at work there
unexpectedly cut into an ore vein
whose existence was hitherto un-
known. a cross-drift run through
the vein since has shown it to be fully
"a feet wide, and to contain a thick
ness of several inches of frst-class
ore, while the remainder will proba
bly, concentrate in the proportion of
seven to one.
This discovery having more than
doubled the value of the mine, the
Philadelphia Mining and Smelling
Company will doubtless lose no time
in perfeoting arrangements to erect
the 5000 foot tramway between the
mine and concentration, which they
have had in contemplation, as this has
now become an absolute necessity.
All the dumps at the mine are jam
med with ore, but none of it can be
hauled at present, owing to the dan
gerous condition of the grade at the
mine.

The School Election.

Heads of families should not forget
the election, at the Theater, to-mor'
row afternoon, to instruct the Board
of School Trustees in relation to the
purchase of lot for the proposed
new public school. The Trustees
having no preference in the matter
the taxpayers can vote as they please
This much they may, however, be as
sured of, to-wit: That the Trustees
will do the very best they can, under
all circumstances, because they are
capable, honorable, and heads OF fam
lilies.

FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.
Hints and limitations OF Localities
Where They Can Secure Steady and
Remuneratiye Occupation.


Where They Can Secure Steady and
Remmeratiye Occupation.
Winter being about over, those
who have no steady employment will
doubtless be pleased to have the
TIMES indicate the localities where
they may not only secure work, but
possibly do much better.
To be sure, the main Wood River
region is not half-prospected yet, but
nearly all the "sost" things in tho way
of mineral deposits lying on the sur
face, or water rights, or land claims,
are about taken up. Those who have
not already "caught on" must therefore
look elsewhere.
The East Fork of Wood River is
good prospecting ground. This trib-
utary will doubtless, this year, prove
itself second only to Bullion as min
eral-producer, and there must be
many veins still undiscovered that a
few days work would show up.
Then there is the gold belt. The
mills at the Camas No. 2 and the
Donovan group, which have been
working for months, having demon
strated that the ore will pay, every
foot of that broad formation should
be claimed and prospected.
The Smoky districts have scarcely
been scratched; yet we are promised
yield of at least one carload per
day, this summer, from three or four
mines. Surely it would pay good
prospectors to spend some time there.
Resurrection District is another
promising locality. The veins are
wide and wellde6ned. The grade of
the ore is quite low, but that is not
an insurmountable obstacle with gold.
bearing quartz, as the working
charges are comparatively insignifi-
cant.
The Lava Creek region is also new
much newer than any of those
Observation-Disclosures there must be
more claims uncovered than are vet
shown up. Owing to the high grade
of the ores and the favorable forma-
ton, the attention of capital has al
ready centered there, and discoverer
would not have to wait long or look
very far for purchaser.
But the best poor mans region now
offering is the belt of placer ground
along the Snake river. There are yet
tens of thousands of acres unclaimed,
of land which pays good wages to
any one who exploits it. No capital
is required-nothing but pick and
shovel, and about IS worth of lum-
Der, etc. IF man hasn't got the IS
that need not deter him from going
there, as he can undoubtedly get
work for a lew days on some claim
until he can purchase the few neces-
saries and go to work on his own
claim. To be sure, all who go cannot
expect to realize fortune; but all
can earn good wages, while many will
do much better.
Nor need there be any fear of over
crowding; as the Snake river valley
can give employment to thousands.

The Builwhacker Attached.

The Bullwhacker claim, which is
located in one of the side gulches OF
Deer Creek, was attached yesterday
by the miners who have been work
ing there. They claim $l25S due
them. To-day another attachment
for $123S was filed against the prop
erty-making $2496 altogether.

A SCHOOL RUMPUS.

Show" OF It-"Liar," and Other
Equally Ungentlemanly Epithets Ban
died About-A Meeting Ends in a
Row.
They are having a whole show, cir
Gus and menagerie combined, over
school matters, in Bellevue, and al
though the TIMES has heretofore re-
Trained, on principle, from saying
anything about it, the matter has be-
come SO generally known that we
cannot afford to ignore it any longer.
Some weeks ago Trustee Hall and
an associate wrote East and engaged
a principal for tho school. When he
arrived Professor Geyer was notified
by the two trustees that his resigna-
ton would be accepted. He refused
to resign.
B. G. Young and others thereupon
called a meeting, denounced the ac-
lion of the Board, and resolved that
Mr.. Geyer was the man they wanted
and would have. They also appoint
ed committee to secure the resigna-
ton of the obnoxious trustees, and
obtain the records and accounts.
Trustee Davis acted with them. This
was also refused.
Last night meeting was called in
McIrvine's Hall, to consider the mat
ter, the ladies' being invited. R. P.
Dayton was elected chairman.
j. H. Harris addressed the meet
ing. He scalped and skinned Profes
sor Geyer, and condemned the action
of the meeting that indorsed him. He
referred to letter written by Mr..
Geyer to one of his subordinate teach
ers, accusing her of being a sneak and
viper, so full of spleen, wrath, and
birthstone, that she needed only to be
touched to go off. He also charged
B. G. Young with traducing the char
acter ofone of the lady teachers.
b. G. Young "a gray-haired man,
exclaimed: "It's a lie!"
Mr.. Harris said he made no charge
he could not prove. The words were
spoken in a saloon-Redding's.
Mr.. Reddlng said it was true
Mr.. Young said: "You're liar!
IT'S false!" Il
After the confusion consequent
upon this scene had quieted down,
Judge Waters made a temperate
speech in behalf of one OF the trustees.
Mr.. Foster was then called on. He
said that the cranks (meaning those
who opposed GeyerD had called Trus-
tee Hall and the getters-up of this
meeting the offspring of a female
dog.
Mr.. Foster was interrupted, at this
point, by men who excitedly dotted
their coats, rolled up their sleeves,
scrambled to the center of the hall,
and "declared" themselves. The la
dies tainted or left the hall precipi-
lately, the boys booted and yelled,
and the meeting finally dispersed after
few blows had been exchanged.
Whatever the result may be, Belle.
vue School District is doubtless liable
to heavy bill for salary, etc., either
by Professor Geyer or the teacher
from the East.

MIR. MORRISON'S DEFEAT.

Mr.. Morrison who has annoyed the
Democrats in congress for many years by
his crude ideas Of a tariff, was again
defeated last Saturday in his attempt to
get his bill representing those ideas before
the House. The House by vote of 154 to
149 refused to take the bill up for consid-
GRAFTON. Of the l43 Democrats who voted
to consider the bill We may assume that
the bulk of them stood pretty much like
the Democrats of the Virginia delegation
did-Messrs. Barbour, Wise, Cabell,
Trigg and Daniel, would have voted
against the bill on it's passage, but favored
getting the question of revision up for
discussion, and making at least COM
mencement on the tariff question; while
Messrs. Tucker, Croxton and O'Ferrall,
would possibly have supported and voted
for the blllon its passage The House bas
now an opportunity to take up Mr.. Ran
dall's bill, if it intends to do anything
with the tariff this winter, which we
think is very improbable. One thing is
clear by the recentsvote; that neither the
Democratic ff-Reformers nor the
Democratic Protectionists can get bill
through without the aid Of the Tariff
Reform Republicans or Protection Repub
lcans-a fact that ought to quiet the silly
clamor of the Morrison men about the
Democracy OF the Protectlon Democrats.
