MEMO.

SILVER CITY AVALANCHE: We are
reliably informed that the purchasers
of the Orc Fino group of mines will
commence erecting fifty stamp mill
early in the spring. The mill will
either be built on Jordan creek or in
the gulch north of the Orc Fino mine.
The mill will contain all the latest
improved machinery, and will be ca
pable of reducing low grade ore very
cheaply. While building, the mines
will be developed, to the end that
when the mill once starts up, it will
be kept running. The mines in
and around Silver City will all be
worked this year to greater extent
than for years past. The Orc Fino
group alone will employ a good many
miners, while the outside mines in
this camp will give employment to as
many more, and Wagontown will
probably give work to as many more.
The Wilson, Chicago, Christian Wahl,
Henrietta and other mines will be
worked at the last named place, while
no doubt the Flint Idaho Company
will give employment to a number
If we take the right view of the min
ing outlook, this camp will be the
Iveliest in Idaho.

WEIsER LEADER: On Friday
morning last as John Glasscock and
Bill Mccullough were driving a wild
COW near the slough bridge, the town
washee Chinaman attempted to cross
the road in front of the enraged ami
NAL. The Chinaman ran, swung his
basket and the COW missed the Celes-
tial this time, but before he could
reach the fence she jolted him one
good shot in the side, lifting the
Mongol, basket and all several feet
After the boys drove the COW away
the scared China aman climbed to the
fence and exclaimed, "Wha's he
matter? wha for?" Luckily for JOIN
the COW did not happen to strike hin
with her horns, or another Celestia
would have gone to the Flowery King
dom in a box.

The Idaho Democrat tells the
World that Boise City and valley do
not oppose bedrock fume, but on
the contrary would rejoice to see the
enterprise successful. The people
here realize its Importance and ac-
cruing benefits as much as do the
Basinites. But we do not wish to
encourage an enterprise whose sue
cess would prove injurious to the ag-
ricultural interest. Whether the de-
bris of bedrock fume would make
trouble to the farmers cannot be fore
told. Probably it would do no more
harm than that brought down in the
flush Of the placer mining days, when
thousands of men were washing out
gold in More creek and its tributa-
ries. 1t is question, however; and
this question demands some clause in
the bill that would protect the farms
of Boise valley against possible inju-
ry. Some provision of this kind
would do no harm, at Ie st. Would
the World inform us whether the
bedrock fume bill is acceptable to
the miners of the Basin?-[D Democrat.
The bill, we can inform the Demo
crat, is acceptable to the miners, and
the people generally of this county
are anxious to see the enterprise
started this year, which it will be il
the bill passes. No miner could Oh
would oppose this bill except through
dog in the manger policy. AS to
mine owners the only effect it will
have will be to give them better
dump. AS this bill is drawn up the
working of these creeks in accordance
with its provisions, will be great
benefit to the whole county, and will
injure no one. If the Boise Valley
people are really afraid of tailings
and they have no occasion to be, we
have no doubts about the clause sug-
gested being inserted in the bill, by
the citizens of Bose Valley making
their wishes known to George Taylor
the agent of the company, and whe
drew up the bill. His postoffice ad
dress is GAINESVILLE, Ohio. This pro
ceeding, however, may delay actor
on the bill, and stop its passage a
this session of Congress. If it fall
to go through this time, we have bu
little hopes Of bill of this kind eve
passing, or at least not for a grea
many years. If the people of Bois'
Valley had come to the front at tn,
proper time-several months ago
when they and all others were calle'
upon to do SO, and make their objec
tions known, the clause they now de
mand would have been inserted, an,
there would now be no danger of tn
bill being checked on its way throug
Congress.

CAPITAL LETTER.

ED. WORLD: Nothing of impor.
tance has occurred since my last, the
town being very quiet. Everything is
moving along very slowly, but from
what outsiders say our city will be the
liveliest on the coast before fall. Peo.
pie at distance are beginning to
lind out that there Is such a place as
Boise City, thanks to our Board of
Trade, and are coming in large num-
bers, with the intention of settling.
Boise is growing slowly, but surely.
Buildings are going up and improve
ments going on all the time. Some
OF our merchants are even now ad-
ding Improvements to their stores, in
the shape of iron fronts, which will
add greatly to their appearance.
The weather, since my last, has
been greatly mixed. We had quite
heavy rain few days since, which
made our streets very muddy, but the
past two or three days have been
warm and pleasant. The farmers,
throughout the valley, have com
menced plowing, and assert that
spring, gentle spring, is here in earn
est, and indeed it looks like 1t.
Our fruit men say that the larger
portion of their orchards were not
damaged to any great extent by the
late cold weather, and if we do not
have any late frosts the fruit crop
will be larger than ever known in
this valley.
There is considerable sickness in
town. The measles are still going
the rounds. Mary, daughter Of w.
L. Thurman, of this place, died yes
terday morning. Miss Mary was
fourteen years of age, and a great ia
vorite with all her acquaintance. Her
parents feel the loss quite keenly.
The funeral took place to-day.
Word has been received here that
Delegate Dubois and Gov. E. A. Ste
venson had secured an appropriation
of $4,000 from the Government, for
the enlargement of the Territorial
penitentiary at this place. This is
something that has been needed for
some time, and will prove great
benefit.
Hon. Frank Ganahl, formerly oi
this place, but now of Spokane Falls
is in town. He has a case before the
Supreme Court, now in session here
Mr.. E. E. Richards, of Haley, is
spending a few days with friends al
this place.
The Salvation Army still hold theil
nightly parade, but attract but little
attention. People are getting uset
to them. Yours,

CALDWELL TRIBUNE: A canal
which waters four hundred and sixty
FIVE square miles of land was opened
in California last week. To complete
this great canal mountains were tun-
neled, aqueducts constructed and
reservoirs built. One tunnel was
chiseed through over two hundred
yards of granite which was so solid
and firm that not a timber or brace is
needed to support the roof or sides.
These facts are mentioned in order to
show the value Californians place up
ON water when 1t can possibly be
made to irrigate land. With millions
of acres of land as productive, with
water, as that of California, and al
available water supply far exceeding
that of any other State or Territory
who can doubt the glorious future o
Idaho when the tide once turns thi'
way?

THIS number of the SEM WEEKLY
WORLD, you will observe, wears rath-
er sleepy cast of countenance, and
with the drowsy tone of every line is
mingled in harmonious melody the
music of long-drawn yawn in the
key of FIVE flats. Well tell you the
reason why. The whole force of the
office promenaded, sashayed, alaman
lefted, went all hands round, aoated
through the may, ETC., all Monday
night, and Tuesday and Wednesday
nights the social party enticed US all
away from office work, and the afore-
said parties holding us in their happy
embrace until the "wee small hours
of the morn," you will readily under
stand, If you have been there your
self, the drowsy state of the feelings
of the type-setters and the foreman
of the copy machine, and the now
dull condition of the heretofore
brightly illuminated noddle of this
latter manufacturer of high grade,
dazzling intellectual glitter. We
can assure our readers, now, as a
positive fact, that if the WORLD, at
any time during the coming forty
days doesn't come up to its usual
standard of excellence, the dullness
of the times, and not of the mouldeI
and selecter of solid wads of wisdom,
will be the cause. Lent is here, and
has given forth the stern and solemn
edict to the pious-"one of whom we
are which"-that "Thou shalt indulge
in no festivities of mirth; neither
shalt thou 'chaw' beef, hog, etc., al
of which we will most strictly and re-
ligiously observe. We have on hanC
kit of fish, and therefore well pre-
pared to pull through the trying or
deal and keep the command in rela
ton to meat-eating. We are firm
friend of Lent this year, and welcome
with much Joy the command-"Thol
shalt stop all dancing and other fick
le forms of monkey business for for
ty days and nights" The time is full
ly ripe for the promulgation of sucl
an edict,
