inefficient Quarantine.

NEW YORK, Jan. Mayor Hewitt sent
a letter to the Governor today stating that
neither the city nor the State nor any other
portion of the Union is free from danger of
the spread of contagious diseases, under the
present quarantine regulations at this port.
The opinion is based on the report of the
Board of Health of this city, which he also
transmits to the Governor. The Mayor rec
ommends that the Governor submit the re-
port to the legislature for action with view
to improving the arrangements at quaran-
tine. The report of the Board of Health
saws there is a want of accommodations at
Hoffman Island while the sanitary arrange
ments are inefficient.

So, SO. They heve plenty more such

induce Mr.. Barney, the president
of the company, now on the ground,
to erect reduction works. Aug.
Outflow was the original locator Ut
the Mountain Goat, and although
he realized but little from it he re-
joices in the success of the present
owners.-We are told that the
Alturas, Limited, at Rocky Bar has
recently struck a body of ore ON the
2UO-foot level that assays as high
as $1,000 to the ton.-Want of
water has caused the DeLamar mill
in Owyhee to shut down. Last week
they cleaned up over 800 pounds Of
amalgam which will yield about
200 pounds Of bullion. This will
pay big for the time run, and the
great Wilson mine could keep them
running almost forever on the same
kind of ore.-Mountain Home Bull

THE TRIBUNES ZEAL.

The Salt Lake tribune in the zeal
of its good will and friendship for
Fred. T. Dubois, the republican
nominee for Delegate from this ter
ritorv, is endeavoring to make the
Mormon issue such monumental
one that Idaho will soon be looked
upon as thoroughly under Mormon
control as Utah is to-day, and SO
long as there is Mormon in the
territory there will be no chance for
statehood. Not only is the Tribune
going out Of its province in its zeal
for the reelection of Mr.. Dubois.
but it is inflicting positive and
lasting political injury on the peo-
pie of this territory, which will nat
urally effect its industrial progress.
as representation in the halls OF
congress is of vital necessity. The
Tribune, if it wants to befriend MIR.
Dubois, should confne its advocacy
to the real issue-the tariff ques-
ton and the less it says in the
future about Dubois and the Nor
mons the better it will he for its can
,lidate, especially in North Idaho.
