Eranklin's Famous Toast,

Ben Franklin was dining with a
small party of distinguished gentle
men, when one of them said:
Here are three nationalities rep
resented; l am French, and my
friend here is English, and Mr.. Frank
lin is an American. Let US each pro-
pose toast"
1t was agreed to and the English
mans turn came first. He arose,
and in the tone of a Briton bold
said:
"Here goes to Great Britain, the
sun that gives light to all the nations
of the earth"
The Frenchman was rather taken
back at this, but he proposed:
"Here's to France, the moon
whose magnetic rays move the tides
of the world"
Our Ben then arose with his air Of
quaint modesty, and said:
Here's to George Washington,
the Joshua of America, who COM
manded the sun and moon to stand
still-and they stood still"

WV. HoorEs discovered a ledge

WV. HoorEN discovered a ledge
the other day about 500 feet north OF
the Washington. The rock pros
poets well in gold for groupings, and
also carries some silver. Four lodges
run through that section, and all car
ry gold, but all of them, like tho
Washington, it is the general opinion
of quartz miners, will develop into
silver mines. The Washington car
ried no silver at the surface, but at
the depth of 300 feet has developed
into one of the largest and richest
silver lodges of Idaho. That district
will eventually prove to be one of the
richest and most extensive silver
bearing sections of the Territory.
Work is soon to be resumed in the
Sub Rosa, the original location of
that section, and which has yielded an
immense amount of gold. A tunnel
was run in three or four hundred
feet, years ago, and crossed one vein
carrying silver ore, but it is the gen.
eral opinion now that this tunnel did
not tap the main Sub Rosa vein.
The vein crossed was believed to be
the Sub Rosa at the time it was
struck. This tunnel will be ex-
tended, and will tap the ledge at
considerable depth below the old
works. The Washington and Sub
Rosa locations are on the same ledge,
and the rich strike made in the
Washington is not far from the east
line of the Sub Rosa. The mouth of
the lower tunnel of the Washington
is only few feet from the Sub Rosa
line. The west extension of the Sub
Rosa, owned by James Price, carries
ore right at the surface that shows a
little sprinkling Of silver blisters when
heated in forge. This vein can be
run on from the creek, and depth
of FIVE or six hundred feet attained,
with tunnel all the way ON the
ledge. This claim is finely situated
for easy working. The Forest King
is on this same vein, to the west. The
indications are that this will also
prove to be a silver bearing mine
with depth. When silver ore is
struck, it is an invariable rule that
increased richness of ore will soon
follow, and, besides this, silver means
permanency. This is a rule with
scarcely an exception.

ED BAGLEY came in last Monday
from Graham. Ed. says that Is now
quite town. The company's mill
being nearly completed, their saw
mill, which has been busy turning
out lumber for the quartz mill, will
now accommodate outside parties
who desire lumber for building and
other purposes. The town is now
composed of log houses, principally,
but henceforth frame buildings will
be constructed, and the town will be
given an ari,tocratic air. The CON-
pany has number of orders now to
fill for lumber for building purposes
Ed. says the Graham court of justice

activity in measuring out to those

THERE is no doubt whatever that
Fred Dubois and James H. Hawlev
will be the nominees of their res
pective parties for Congress. They
are warm personal friends, and the
campaign will be conducted on a
high plane as far as the candidates
are concerned, and with this exam
pie set by the opposing candidates,
their friends, it is hoped, will not use
personalities as weapon of political
warfare. Neither of the candidates
are of bitter or spiteful nature, and
do not approve of campaign of the
acid and vinegar kind. Both are en-
ergetic rustlers, however, and the
campaign will be lively, but good
natured, one.

A correspondent writing to the

politics in Idaho: Bear Lake County,
like every other county in Idaho Ter.

every hand, and it is asserted that there
will be a greater interest taken in
politics this fall than ever before
Two years ago there were only nine
ty-eight votes cast in this county, on
account of the anti Mormon test oath;
but this fall Bingham, Oneida, Cassia
and Bear Lake Counties will put in d
strong vote, and from what l car

stand that it is now a settled fact that
every Mormon who takes the elector's s
oath, in Bingham County, will be
promptly arrested. As to the justice
of such a course people will differ,
but it seems that there is no other
way of deciding this troublesome
question. Looking at the matter
candidly we must conclude that there
is considerable danger threatened to
Mormons who take the oath.
If our memory serves US ar,ght,
Judge Morgan held that the courts
take judicial cognizance of the fact
that polygamy is part of the creed
and doctrine of the Mormon faith,

Der of the Mormon Church includes
the further fact that he belongs to an
organization that teaches, breaches,
