There are twenty mills in the Cats
kill Mountains that are making -four
out of wood. A log of any soft wood
is cleared of bark and run through a
pencil sharpener with four blades in
stead of one, and is cut into hum
dred pieces of fine, clean shavings.
These are ground and bolted, exactly
as in flour mill. The product is
yellowish flour, similar to fine corn
meal. 1t is put into bags and sent
off to make paper and mixed with lin
seed gum for oilcloth, and to adulte-
rate corn meal, and army and Indian
rations. 1t is often fed to hogs and
people, but not by those who make
it. = Elk.

Boise Basin, who first discovered

these brave men and hardy pros
pectors but few remain to tell the
tale OF their discovery, having cross
ed over the silent river, where thew
await the coming of the comrades left
behind. Some were killed by the
Indians while doing battle in the
cause OF humanity and their rights.
while Others passed gently away
surrounded by friends. Of those
who died fighting the Indians, were
Michael Jordan, and James Carroll
in the year of 1864, near the Owyhee
river, and 0. H. Purdy, in the Ban
mock war of 1878, in the fight that
ensued between the Silver City volun-
teers under captain J. B. Harper and
the Bannock Indians under Buffalo
Horn. Thos. Carson died at his
ranch on Reynolds creek, in Owyhee
in 1865, and r. Cain, in the City
of San Francisco in 1870, and H. S..
Wade passed over the dark river in
1865. The Whisky lode was the first
discovered. Inspired with the rich
ness of this discovery, the prospectors
moved on, and in the month of July,
1868, the Orc Elmo vein was discover
ed by A. J. Sands, Svale, Nelson, P.
L. Gipling, Sam Fry and James
Carroll. The vein was SO large and
rich, that 1t created great excitement
among the few who were there at the
time, and ere spring Of the following
year had opened, it had reputation
all over the coast. Not content with
this rich find, some of the discoveries
moved on and soon found the Morn
ing Star, another rich vein. In the
fall of 1868 More & FOCUS came over
from Boise basin, and bought into
the Orc Elmo and Morning Star veins,
and commenced work, and before
the spring Of 1864 opened, had made
developments which showed them
veins of great richness. AS time
passed the country was crowded with
prospectors and veins were found al
most daily. The placer mines were
paying largely and all was life and
excitement there, and though -four
sold at a dollar per pound no one
went hungry. BY the fall of 1864,
roads had been built into the camp,
and All eight-stamp mill had been
brought in by More & FOCUS, and
erected just north of Silver City, near
the Morning Star mine. BY this
time considerable development and
work had been performed on both
the Orc Elmo and Morning Star veins,
and much ore on the dumps at both
mines, and in the month of October,
1864, the first milling was from the
Orc Elmo mine, and cleanup of
100000 was made. This gave the
owners confidence in their veins and
caused them to put on an increased
force of men at both their mines, and
kept them constantly at work sinking

On One Charge Hibbs Gets Free ON
Misplaced f.

The honorable (?) Hibbs spelled
Wilson. W-e-i-l-s-o-n, and therefore
was declared by the court not guilty
of forgery in this particular case. If
his photography had been correct he
would have been guilty. 1t is good
sometimes to be bad speller. Lucky
man is that Hibbs. After the style of
poetry of the immortal Artemus
Ward, if he had left out that e, what
q fate would have befallen she.n By
slipping in said little e, he escaped a
term in the "penitentiaree," and was
pronounced mot guiltee." There IS
nothing that stands by criminal and
wards off the blows and weakens the
strong right arm of the law like Old
Tech Nicality, unless it be his twin
brother, Old D. Murrer. They are
both old sluggers, and good ones, and
whether they strike fair or foul it al
most always counts. On the charge
OF forgery mentioned Hibbs did not
"thank his stars" that he was not
found guilty, but thanked his little e,
which freed him from guilt on this
charge of "forgeree." How consid-
crate, noble and just is law that takes
lcognizance of so small matter as
small in small name. How noble
and grand-'grand humbug" we i'm
agine we hear you remarks law or
the administering of law, on an aver
age. How thankful we should all be
that we live in free and enlighten-
ed land-especially free for crimi-
nals-wholesome laws-(and they
have some holes-some mighty big
holes have our hole-some laws, holes
big enough for us all to crawl through
sometimes strong laws-that are
knocked out of time before they get
a single lick at the criminal that
stands up fernist them, knocked out
with little the last match-a little
e that was as hard glove on the
hand of Hlbbs. Oh! how thankful
we should be-all of us-that a small
sized can set a forger free, (be-
cause it gives the key to successful
forgeree and may be of benefit to you
and me. If we chance should see to
forge our way and wealthy beg lit
tie e, don't you see, that crawled in
where it ought not be-when consid-
cred from an photographed point of
view, but whore for the forger it can
wonders do. By one stroke of the
pen Hlbbs escapes the 'pen" on one
charge. How wonderful! how no
bly, towering!! how grandly great!!!
how utterly bewildering in its won
derful workings!!!.! how ''unsolva-
| bly, inscrutable" the hidden WAYS of
the more than majestic law!!..! A
greatly astonishing astonisher-be-
yond the powers of man to find out
its ways at times. How kind heart
ed and goody good, and forbearing
toward the prosecuted, poor and
frlendless postmaster who thought it
was duty he owed to himself to
skip to Canada. He imagined, poor
fellow, that law would be against him,
but he didn't then know his best
friend. Law, it now appears, is a
friend to the poor speller. Hibbs did
not know this when lie absquatulated
1-vamoosed from home and friends.
Let's all drink a toast to the law, the
noble and grand--or go out in the
back yard and heave up. Perhaps
we had better go and heave up. We
might feel better.
