self protection. Uncle John HALEY
was the first to jump on. When
Uncle John hoped on, calm smile
spread over his honest face ami
seemed to say, 81 now feel safe.''
When he was safely on, some one
heard him softly say to himself: "By
comics self-pr eservation is the first
law of my political nature. This is
getting to be a dangerous animal,
and the only sure way to keep from
under his heavy hoofs is to mount
him." A few followed Uncle John
in the mounting act Others wen.
not allowed to mount, the riders fear
ing they would spoil the fun of the
circus. They were not good riders
any way. The only thing they could
do for safety was to precipitaly fly
from the ring. They flew, and never
let up running until they were in
safety in Bingham, Oneida, Bear
Lake and Cassia counties. This hob-.
by was first mounted by Wall Chen
called DOLBY walD and the infuen-
.tial and Hon Mr.. Smith (then plain
."kentuck" Smith, ixer-up of the test
oath infamy), and very few other
Democrats. 1t is now the Hon. Col
Wall ia pure marble walD the in
fiuential representative man of Al
turas, and grand old man, a leader
in his party. This is a brief history
of the hobby, and ITS name is anti
Mormon. It's chief keeper is the
young and brilliant Fred I. Dubois.

SWEET, Squaw Greek, Sept aOth.-ED.
WORLD; Everybody has returned from
the circus. They pronounce it grand
humbug. The elephant didn't even have
any hair on him. Haven't been any poll
ticians down this way yet, and the DO, 5
are getting pretty dry. We are thinking
pretty strongly of standing in with the
third party, if they ever git ready for bus
mess. Artie Cunningham has been very
sick, but is considerable better now, al.
though quite sick yet Sam Ircton had
quite an accident few days ago. While
going up TO the timber with four-horse

him under the hounds. He was dragged
quite distance. Was not very danger

"A. f. PARKER, editor of the Idaho
County Free Press, is a candidate for
the Legislature. He seeks the nom-
ton he says, upon the issue of the re-
peal of the odious and I'M American
test oath BILL" and Mr.. P. further SAYS
that 'thc test oath is as obnoxious as
the registration law of two years ago"
Perhaps so obnoxious, but not to
Americans, native born or naturalz-
ed. We believe the registry law was
repealed contrary to the wishes of IL
great majority Of the citizens of Idaho.
1t was imperfect in one or two res
poets, but could easily have been
amended and perfected. While the
registry law lived it did good deal
of good IN b Use county. We can
not speak for other counties. 1t
made American citizens of a good
many aliens, who have been voting
and enjoying all the privileges of cit
izens Tor twenty years or more. 1t
forced them to get out their papers,
and it cost one certain individual
many, very many big American dol
lars to prore(:) that he was citizen.
And as To the test oath law, is
1t UNI American to disfranchse band
OF un. American slaves? We say no.
That only freemen shall vote is fun
damental principle of this govern
ment. The Mormons boast of the
fact that they hold the commands OF
John Taylor higher than the laws of
this land, and that the Mormon
Church has monopolized all their low
atty. They take pride in Boosting OF
their slavery. Perhaps, Mr.. Parker,
you call that American. Brother P,
we recognize the fact that you possess
qualifications that would make you an
influential representative of your
county, but we sincerely hope you
will be defeated. According to our
way of thinking you are on the wrong
side of the Mormon question.

that the placing of the Charles Dick

on the London market, has been at
tended with great success. A COM
pany has been Incorporated in Lon

Will begin, and Bonanza will enjoy a
boom that will prove to it's residents
the reality of the somewhat ephem-
erous name given to their town. The
second extension west of the Charles
Dickens claim embraces what is
known as the Morrison group of
mines, a one-half interest in which
has recently been sold to n. A. Pier
son, of San Francisco, for $4,000.
This is inclusive of 40-acre tract of
placer ground, out of which was re-
Gently taken nugget of gold weigh
ing one pound. This portion of the
property is being worked by hydrau-
lies. The ore from the mines carries
from % to 20 per cent gold in ad
dition to the silver. Arrangements
are now being made to have the ore
product of the mine sent to the Smelt-
ing Works at ketchum for reduction.
The first westerl y extension of 1900
feet from the Dickens, lying between
that property and the Morrison group,
is known as the Pilot nine, owned
by Chris. Johnson, and bids fair to be
a valuable property.

kEYsT me: The Parnell mine,
situated in Germana Basin and own
ed by Messrs. Hawksworth and
Dewey, presents feature in mine
development that has hardly parallel
in the Territory or very likely on the
Pacific slope. a tunnel has been
run 221 feet below the surface and is
now IN lSo feet, the entire length he
ing through frozen ground. The sur
face of the claim is interspersed with
crevlces of various widths that extend
downward through the intervening
ground to the tunnel level, and so
great is the velocity of wind through
these apertures that bulkheads have
to be constructed in order to prose-
cute work. Solid blocks of ice, some
weighing over 200 pounds, are found
in the crevices while running the
tunnel, and at times the atmos phere
o! the tunnel is as cold as ''Greenland's
icy mountains" Yet with all these
difficulties Superintendent Hawks
worth has continued the work of de-
velopment. He has contracted with
Mr.. Pardun to bring 80 tons of ore
to ketchum, all of whichis high grade
IN character and carries 60 per cent.
lead. Two years ago, when work
was first commenced, 10 tons of ore,
averaging 5000, was taken out with

Basin to Ketchum, ore has been sent
here direct, being purchased at the
Sampling Works.

Nelson, of the firm of Nelson Bros,
is the jo-dandy linguist of these parts.
A few evenings ago in an argument
with customer about some question
of, We suppose, politics, we overheard
him get off something like the follow,
ing: "But, my dear fellow, | am
afraid you will find the task somewhat
difficult as we'll as laborious, for in
the labyrinth of the medicinal cate
chism you will find your intellectual
mumpus highly approximating to-
wards your own adhesivencss. The
man was carried home on shutter,
but at last accounts was in fair
way of recovery. -. Sheriff Taylor
with Coroner }isbing, Dr. Hooker
and party of Uinta county, Wyoming,
returned from thei" trip to Jackson's
Hole on Tuesday. They went there
for the purpose Of holding an inquest
over the remains of the three men
killed by the man Tonnar some time
since. The stories told bv Tonnar
about the killing and the examination
of these bodies don't seem to agree
very we'll Tonnar claims to have
shot each one in the head as they
came toward him. The examination
shows the skull of Tiggerman entirely
crushed, apparently with some blunt
instrument, while that of Weller is
crushed i'll at the top as though
struck with the back of an ak. From
the examination of the bodies and the
ground the superstition seems to
be that Tonnar and Kilenberger
murdered Tiggerman and Weller
and buried them; then, fearing
klllenberger would give him away
Tonnar killed Killenberger and buried
him about thirty feet away from the
others. Dr. Hooker brought the
skulls of Tiggerman and Weller with
him.
