The WEST SHORE, Oregon's. illustrated
magazine, is now in its fourteenth year.
and yet in all this time it has not issued
such an excellent number as that for
March. The literary matter is up to the
usual high standard, and the articles de-
scriptive of the country are especially
complete and interesting. The illustra
tons, however, surpass all previous eff
forts, and in this number are principally
devoted to Tacoma, the city of phenom
email growth. A magnificent large sup
plement of Mount Tacoma, Washington
Territory's grand snow peak, accompanies
this issue. The April number will be an
especially fine one. The supplement will
I've printed in colors, and show the Olym-
pic range, the finest collection of snow
peaks in the world. The May number
will lie principally devoted to the city of
Portland, the metropolis of the Pacific
olthwest, and with it will be issued
grand supplement, thirty inches in
length, showing the city entire. THE
WEST SHORE is only $3.50 per year, rs
cents for sample copy. 1t should find
a place in every home in the United
States. March. April and May numbers
on receipt of 70 cents. L. Samuel, pub

PACIFIC COAST NEWS.

Joe Stanely, one OF the Wealthlest
men in Denver and vice President
of the Denver city National Bank,
was a poor man in Gilman county,
Colorado, ten years ago. His wife
washing to buy -four and bacon,
while Joe dug his way through 700
feet of barren rock. When he did
strike "pay dirt" he sold his claim
for 81 100000.
The Supreme Court of the United
States holds that person purchas-
ing a mine that does not pan out
we'll cannot obtain damages from
the seller on the plea that it was
"salted," because it is the business
of the purchaser to have aseertained
the true character of the purchase.
It is reported that rich deposits
of gold have been recently Dissolved
in black sand bank, which is sit
uated on the coast near the mouth
of Copper river, about 700 miles
above Juneau, Alaska. One of the
discoveries was offered $25, 900 a few
days ago fo- his claim. From.three
pounds weight of sand taken from
the bank $40 in gold dust has
been obtained. A number of min
ers left Seattle by the Ancon on her
last trip for the new diggings.
Montana has been having the
law of the territory compiled and
from the following, one would
think that printers had made about
the same kind of mess of it they
did for Idaho. The Inter Mountain
SAYS. at is difficult to tell whether
the newly issued edition of the
compiled laws of Montana was set
up by a man who sticks type by
the handful or by the Office devil
who desired to experiment with "pi'
without asserting it.
The Elko correspondent OF the
Reno Gazette says: On the east
side of the Ruby Range, half way
between Secret Pass and Cave
Creek, there is situated on the side
of the mountain an immense mine
of mica, formely called glimmer
and By some isinglass: Several
attempts have been made to open
out these vast deposits which have
exposed to view quantity that
would seem to be enough to meet
the worlds demand for such ma
terial. | have seen sheets or plates
taken out as large as the average
pane of glass. This deposit OF mi
ca is 40 clear and transparent as
the best quality Of glass. All mica
however, is not clear and transpar-
ent-a great deal is light gray;
black and occasionally green and
violet. For this reason the ABOVE
find should be of more Of more
commercial value than deposits
that are more or less discolored.

Positively Untrue.

EDITOR KEYSTONE: / dersire to
call the attention OF your readers
to the following misleading state
ment which was made by the Haley
Times on the 10th Instant:
The roads to Smoky and to Challis,
via Ketchum, being impossible, travellers
who will be compelled to reach either
point during the next two or three weeks
will have to go BY some other road.
Smoky can be reached on horseback or
with = light team BY way Of Willow
Creek and Challis can be reached by way
Of Blackfoot.
It will be evident to anyone con-
versant with the truth that this
statement is false; that it is the
result of misimformation heedlessly
put into print, or, what is more,
knowingly published for the sake
of news" utterly .disregarding the
extreme penalty which such knav-
cry inhicts upon the transportation
interests of all Wood River. Every
one knows that the Smoky line is
making regular trips, and as for
the Ketchum & Challis Stage Line,
it has been prepared to guarantee
passengers destined for Challis safe
and timely transportation since the
9th inst, when the first through trip
of the season was made, and since
when there has been no interruption
to through passage. In regard to
an item which the Times contained
on the 9th, / wish to say that
Messrs. Johnson and Price hired a
private conveyance that failed to
take them through, while my pas
sengers who left here on the night
of the 9Th reached Challis on the
8th, and at no time since that have
/ been unprepared to guarantee a
through trip.
Respectfully, 3
K. ]. CowLEY, Jr.,
. Manager.

.AmendA Hnnnrahln"

10 be sure, 1t was inexcusable in the
Times to cast any doubt over the ability
OF Mesafs. johnson and Price to reach
Challls via Ketcburn, just now; but-will
the Keystone man please make amende
honorable now that he knows the out
comea-HaiIey Times.
The KEYSTONE man can't see how
the "amende honorable" comes in,
but has observed the "outcome" of
somewhat of a farce enacted by the
gentlemen referred to in their plan
ming to get to Challis via Ketchum.
1t they had been extremely anxious
to have made the trip, and had
pursued the proper course, they
would have experienced but little
difficulty in reaching their objective
point. No blame should be attrib-
uted to the people of Ketchum, and
no warranted reflections can be cast
on the KEYSTONE because the gen.
tlemen failed to complete their
journey. If there is any faultfind-
ing necessary, it is due to the actors
themselves for the laundering mis-
take they made in making the ar
rangements they did for transpor-
tation. If they had the "rough ex-
perience" the Times describes, they
have no one to blame but them
selves. Mr.. Cowley, the manager
of the stage line from Ketchun to
Challis, has been faithfully at work
for sometime past clearing the road
so as to make the route passable,
and if the gentlemen had consulted
him in regard to the trip and means
of transportation, or had accom-
panied Messrs. Scott, Mccarthy and
Tehan, whom Mr.. Cowley sent out
on the same evening they started,
these gentlemen would also have
been comfortably landed in Challis
on the evening of the second day
after leaving Ketchum. In conclu-
sion, the KEYSTONE man .reiterates
the assertion made in the last issue,
that there would have been no occa-
sion for Messrs. Johnson and Price
"hoofng it" lift they had made proper
provision for their journey.

A Public Nuisance.

It has been the practice of per-
sons residing in town for several
years past, when cleaning alleys,
stables, corrals, ETC., to deposit the
refuse and garbage taken therefrom
within a short distance of some OF
the residences of the town, or near
the creek. and even in some instan-
ces throwing it into the stream.
The garbage thus taken from the
places mentioned and the offal
from butcher shops always contain
matter that, when warm weather
comes, the smell from which will be
very offensive as we'll as injurious
to the health of the community.
There have been many complaints
made in regard to the habitual and
indiscriminate dumping of all kinds
of stuff within the limits of the
town, and so near to water courses.
This is a nuisance and should be
abated. The KEYSTONE respectfully
calls attention to the following
sections of the law made applica-
BILE to such cases: sy
Sec. 1920. Anything which is injurious
to health, or is indecent or offensive to
the senses or an obstruction to the free
use of property so as to interfere with
the comfortable enjoyment Of life or
u~onnr<v "a a nuiR1ncQ -
Sec. 6914. Every person who puts the
carcass of any dead animal or the oHal OF
any slaughter pen. corral or butcher shop
into any river, creek, pond, street, alley,
public highway or road in common use,
or who attempts to destroy the same by
fire within one fourth of q mile of any
city, town or village, is guilty of mis-
demean0f.

Coming Back.

During the past week number
of our citizens, who have been away
to spend the winter in other places,
returned to Ketchum. They all
seemed glad to get back to the
mountains again, and it is pleasant
to those who have stayed here to
see the familiar faces of the wan
derers again on our streets. During
the first two or three winters after
this town was located, it was
thought to be impossible for any
one to remain here during the pc
Rod of snow and cold weather with
any degree of comfort whatever.
The most of the citizens who had
families sent them out for the win
ter, even if their business required
them to remain themselves. But
all that is changed now. Many 60
out it is true, but it is because they
take advantage of the dizziness in
business and work that prevails
during the winter to visit their old
friends in other places, and not be-
cause they feel that they must 60
away in order to be comfortable.
When a comparison is made be-
tween the weather we experienced
last winter and that which prevailed
all through the eastern states, it is
very much in our favor. We are
very glad to see the miners and
business men coming back early,
as it betokens the near approach
of the season of activity. Prospects
are encouraging and we may reas-
onably hope for very prosperous
season in every respect.
