EDITOR TELLER:


Weather matters are quite rtsty
with two inches Of the beautiful in the
valley and the high mountaia tops are
heavily coated Or course, mining mat
ters are bull in consequence OF the ttooz
ing weather, except in quartz, which is
now steadily coming to the trout in gold
md ealena The Golden King mill is
running steadily along since it started
with t new machinery. The IlaEo
company are pushing on work in the
mill so us to get it running as soon as
pos>lble as they have large amount oil
re ready tor the cru her. The Golden
Chest company are working the mine
with force of men, and they are findin.
good heavy bodies of tip tap ore AS to
when the mill will start we know not.
Some heavy purchases of mines have
be n made lately, and several prom>in.
mines on the South fork have been
bonded to eastern parties. A St. Paul
syndicate has bought the Gold Hunter
nne for $4,000; and we bear the
Hatter mine near Mullan City has been
-"'d to an eastern company for good
figure. A company have gone up to See
the outlook on B.d mountain. There
has been a number of mining men in
camp lately looking at the outlook, and
they express very favorable opinions Of
ur mineral resources. and the very good
prospect Tor the camp in the very near
future. Matters political are quiet and
the situation Of the candidates is now
known; the probate district attorney and
cor ner were pretty close, and anxious
eyes were turned towards Pierce CITY
and Weippe precincts. They come, the
returns We mean, and solved the problem;
HALEY twenty-ninc, Dubois one, May
hew twenty-four, Claggett FIVE; 50 Shes.
hone sends full democratic delegation
~ Boise and your county nearly So.
DUBOIS majority i'll this county is reduced
down to twenty.six, and we hear he is
lected; we'll We suppose annexation wi
rest in its little bed and sleep in the
Senate Territorial committe, room at
Washington its last sleep that knows no
waking. OF annexation not much is
said of it; the Montana papers harp on
the vote in favor Of Montana, but they
have reconed without the host. The
truth is that at Murray and Delta the
vote was for Idaho, and shouts were
heard all election day, "Idaho is good
enough for u.s. At Wardner on the
South fork, there was between 200 aud
300 votes cast for Montana, but in
Murray the vote for Idaho
arsely off set amy votes for Mon
tina. Our people favor to remain in
Idaho and voted accordingly, but our
Montana friends strain at nat and can
not remove mountains. They are of
their bangs 10 this racket, and as Dubois
is elected no annexation goes unles; his
friend Claggett got his ear and carried
this county for Montana annex alton.
Our Mormon friends did no: vote and the
test oath did the job for them. Idaho
has redeemed herself aud no Mormon
politics hereafter ii our democratic friends
do not try to repeal the test oath and
let the good angels come in. Politicians
are mighty ousartin as the darky said Of
the white man; many are left and few
chosen for the spoils Of Office. Our dis
nict court has been grinding away at the
civil cases. Clerk Squier seem happy
and all know he is pleasant. The grand
Ijury have returned several indictments
and criminal cases will have his Hon s.
attention. Thc late war for possession
Of the Grown Point mine has takep uF
the attention Of the grand jury and
$ veral indicted. Jack Hurley, deput,
sheriff, who shot and killed Taylor Tile.
last summer, was also indicted.
