OaSSl8 1lmeS: w m. Holden &
e bull train, consisting of about sixty
head of work oxen, passed through
: town last Saturday en- route fol-
5 Wood River to engage in freighting
ore. They have been wintering
near Malta.-On Tuesday even
r ing last, Bud Parke purchased a
small vial of strychnine at the drug
store, which he placed in his pocket
with his plug Of chewing tobacco.
On his way home he took a chew
of tobacco, and after arriving home
f he felt dizziness, and happened
to think of the strychnine and to-
; bacco being in his pocket together,
he became frightened and gave the
alarm that he was poisoned, which
of course excited the whole family,
who Immediately commenced ad-
ministering antidotes. A quart Of
vinegar was poured down him and
j about four pounds of lard, besides
a side or two of fat bacon and sew
eral other ingredients. This seemed
to relieve him and he was then hus-
tied into a wagon and brought to
town on time that would distance
Maud S. DR.. Lindley was sought,
who Immediately applied his stom-
ach pump, and after extracting sew
'eral gallons Of a compound mix
ture of lard, vinegar, onions, molas-
ses, etc., the doctor concluded that
if he had actually taken poison at
all it was too thoroughly lodged
beneath the lobes of healthy liver
to be extricated. Bud is to be con-
graduated on his narrow escape
from death from the effects of the
antidotes.
Caldwell Tribune: w. B. Sher-
wood of Jordan Valley, while hunt
ing on South mountain, last Mon
day morning, met with very seri-
Gus if not fatal accident. In at
tempting to jump small ravine,
both barrels of his shotgun, which
he carried, were discharged, one
charge just grazing his left side,
while the ether took effect in his
left arm near the shoulder. Physi-
clans were summoned, who ampu-
tated the injured mans arm at the
shoulder. At latest accounts Mr.
Sherwood was doing we'll but he is
still in precarious condition.
Pocatello Reporter: U. S. Mar
shall Baird is in Sioux Falls, Dako-
ia, with prisoner sentenced from
Ada county for polygamy or big
amy. He will 60 to New York and
Washington ere returning. He will
meet his wife in New York and she
will return with him.
The great Viola mine, near Mich
Ola, Idaho, is reported to be pro-
ducing more ore than ever. This
mine has already produced $4,000
tons of heavy carbonate ore, con-
siderable of which has been reduced
by the company's -melter at Mich
Ola. In the mine large reserves of
ore are exposed. 1t is stated that
the hundred-ton daily output of
the mine makes an insignificant
hole in the ore reserve, which shows
a years run of ore in sight The
Viola Company employs over two
hundred men in mining, smelling,
freighting and in preparing fuel for
the smelter.
Idaho World: Voshay & Fox
have driven into the Washington
vein twenty-five feet, and are not
yet through it. This is no doubt,
from present appearances, the big
gest of all the big lodges Of Idaho,
as we'll as the "boss" bonanza. Just
think of it ! twenty-five feet of pay
ore, and not yet through it. When
Mr.. Voshay left, the face Of the
tunnel showed magnificent silver
ore. A gold vein two or three in
ches thick was crossed. This vein
prospects at the rate of a dollar a
pound. Mr.. Voshay says he esti-
mates the entire twenty-five feet,
taking it all, at 800 per ton. He
has been mining since 1S49, and
therefore speaks from experience.
If it will go that, and the chute
proves extensive, the Washington
will assume position of promin-
ence such as to enable it to look
down on every other mine il Idaho.
The Banner mine, a handsomely
paying property, has not averaged,
taking it all through, three inches
in width. The ore has milled, on
an average, in the neighborhood of
800 per ton. twenty-five feet of
such ore is immense. Messrs. Vo-
shay & Fox will make a shipment
Of their ore soon, TO Omaha, for re-
duction.
The Ceur d'Alene Herald refer
ring to the wonderfully rich Koote-
mai mining district of the north,
says that prospectors and mining
men are crowding into the district
and that from twenty to twenty five
are leaving Kootenai station every
day for that section, and more to
follow if conveyances could be had.
The Kootenai Bonanza is a big
property. The vein is 500 feet wide
and the groupings. have assayed
