A controversy is going on between
the Chronicle and Examiner, of San
Francisco, as to whether the Exami-
ner's new Hoe Press can print, fold
and deliver more eight-page papers
per hour than both the Chronicle s
presses combined. That the Exami-
ner believes its press can accomplish
this is shown by it's wager to that eff
feet of any sum the Chronicle may
name, said sum to go to charitable
institutions. The Chronicle has ac-
cepted the offer, and lays $4,000
that the Examiners claim is not good.
The latter has already placed its $780,
900 in the Nevada Bank. The con-
ditions as proposed by the Examiner
are: Trial to take place within thir-
ty days after the Examiner press shall
be declared in good running order, to
which the Chronicle adds that the
copies must be legible, and the win
ner shall name the charities to be ben
ehtted by the trial.

j. B. EMERY announces areduction
in prices. See his ad.

AN exchange gives the following
good things to remember;
That SANDER, like mud, dries and
falls off.
That all are not princes who ride
with the emperor,
That he who gathers roses aust
not fear thorns.
That to wait and be patient soothes
many pang.
That correction is good when ad-
ministered in season.
That to have what we want is
riches, but to be able to do without
is power.
That it takes great deal of grace
to bear praise.
That there is no limit to the age
at which a man may make fool OF
himself.
That you will never have a friend
if YOU must have one without failings.
That the roses of pleasure seldom
last long enough to adorn the brow
of those who pluck them.
That man who cannot mind his
own business is not to be trusted with
the business of others.

AN AERoNAUrIcAL ADVANCE
The so-called "governable air-ship'
of DIR. Wolfert is driven forward or
backward by means of a fan-like pro-
peller at the forward end of the car,
while a second propeller, directly I'M
der the car, serves to raise or lower
the balloon without the loss of ballast
or of gas. The horizontal propeller
may be turned to right or to left, thus
serving as a rudder. In an expert
mental apparatus, the @ronaut, seat
ed like bicycle rider, readily drove
either, or both of the propellers at a
rate as high as $50 revolutions per
minute. The trial was made near
Dresden with a cigar-shaped balloon
about sixty feet long, with lifting
power of 500 pounds; and the mo-
tions of this were under perfect con-
troll, even against moderate wind.
A peculiar system of netting gave
the car remarkable steadiness. The
inventor expects soon to launch an
air-ship capable of carrying 80 men,
substituting an electric engine fol
the foot-power Of his first experiment

A few months ago an old gentle
man was seen mailing notice on a
fence on the south side of Austin
Avenue. A friend passing, said:
"Why don't you have the notice
put in the daily paper, where people
can read it?"
"Waal," said the old gentleman,
''if l took it to the newspaper office
them newspaper fellers would get it
spelled wrong and then somebody
would think | didn't have no eddica-
ton"
The notice read: "Howze fur

The Rocky Bar Country.


Rocky Bar is what miners call .
good camp. Operations are going on
with the usual vigor, and big boom
Is expected to strike the place with
the opening of spring. There are
only ilfteen or twenty idle men at the
Town, In consequence of which busi-
ness IS steady and firm. One hun
dred men are at work in the Elmore
mine, owned by the AIturas compa-
ny, Which has fifty more at work in
other mines, purchased sometime
since, besides fifty in the mill and
tlmber-a total of two hundred. The
MIL continues running steadily,
yielding handsome profits, and the
company Is securing, by purchase, a
large amount of quartz claims, which
Will be extensively developed as soon
as the snow disappears in the spring.
The successful working of the Elmore
mne attracted the attention of capi-
tai to the great gold producing regi-
on at and around Rocky Bar, and
hundreds of mines and prospects that
have lain dormant for over 20 wears
Tor the want of capital to develop
them, will soon be worked and add a
great deal to the mineral products of
Idaho. That section of our county is
a net work of quartz veins, which are
gold producing. During the early
history Of Bear Creek district. in
which Rocky Bar is situated, arastras
were to be found in every gulch, but
that slow and expensive method of re-
duc1ng ore proved Improbable, and
1t took many years and vast amount
OF work to convince capitalists that
those rugged mountains were filled
with mines that could be worked with
proht by the use of stamp mills of
large capacity. But the turning
point has been passed and the steady
and firm advancement so long hoped
for is realized. The success of the
mines around Rocky Bar will give
confidence in many more mining dis
tricts less known, but where just as
good mines exist.

PAYETTE LETTER.
HORSESHOE BEND, Dec. 20, -

Aioi1oEohob DENI, bec. EJ, .ol.
ED. World: Christmas has come
and gone. Some are happy and 9TH
ers are sorry. With us the world
wags just the same.
by way of well, it's scarce
Mrs. Mahan finished her term oi
school the night before Christmas, and
gave her pupils taffy pull at her
residence. And of all the times, the
little folks seemed to think it the
best. Pie and cake, popcorn balls
and taffy furnished employment, and
games, and an improvised elephant
driven around by an ancient darkey
made fun. The children read in con
cert, showing excellent training. Dec
lamations and songs were rendered.
and the evening was pronounced a
success. Mrs. Mahan has been en-
ployed to teach longer.
We have had light fall of snow,
and rain. The snow promises soon to
disappear. The thermometer has Just
touched zero for few hours once
that is all.
Lewis Lick brought in a fine spec
linen of a cougar the other day, with
a bullet hole in its head. 1t was es-
tlmated by many to weigh two hun
dred pounds.
Several deer have been taken here
within few days.
Mr.. Editor, | see that statement of
there were more pretty
girls to the acre in Garden Valley
than anywhere else in Idaho credit
ed to correspondent in Garden Val
ley. l object. l was the author of
that fact, and | want those girls to
it. And l think ye edit
or will agree with me, unless he got
a ''mitten'' somewhere. Not only are
the girls pretty, but they are modest
and lntellinent, and the people gen
orally the most hospitable, and [ think
contented, as they ought to be.
The cattle here on the ranges are
IN poor condition, and the grass be-
ing so short is compelling the cattle
men to feed, and it is feared there
will be considerable loss this winter.
The roads are quite icy, the river fro
zen over in many places, and the wa
ter in the hills frozen up, so 1t is diff
cult for stock to obtain water.
Chinook winds have prevailed in the
lower valley and the snow is entirely
gone.
Emmett had Christmas tree and
dance in Wardwell's hall. Both were
successes.
The old year is near its end, and
expect next time | write you to follow
the fashion and put Z where an s
ought to be. Good bye old year.
Peace to your ashes. Many uncanny
scenes have been enacted in your
life time; go bury them with the
past and ring in the new, and may it
bring ''peace on earth, and good will
to men," and women, too.

STArEsMAN: We hold that the
mail routes were established for the
benefit of the people of this republic
and not as means of deriving rev.
enue for the support of the govern
ment. If the carrying of letters and
papers were a private enterprise, in
dividuals would be justifable in
neglecting points that did not pay.
The government has monopolized
the business and should take the bit
ter with the sweet. Counting the
various sources of revenue the gener-
al government derives from Idaho, it
is not much out for the Territory and
we are getting very poor recompense
for what we do pay. We do not re-
member to have heard such universal
complaint anywhere as is now in Ida
no in relation to the mails.

IHE Range and Valley gives the
following particulars Of the recent
accident in the Tahoma mine:
"A terrible explosion of giant pow
der occurred in the Tahoma mine at
Atlanta last Saturday morning about
o'clock, whereby Oscar Goble and
kiley bostwick were fearfully bruised
and burned and will probably die
from their injuries. Bert PRAY came
to Rocky Bar on snowshoes and told
the sad news, and VIM. Mackay i'm
medlately started for this place horse
back for medical aid. At Louise
Creek his horse gave out and he left
the animal at that station and came
IN on foot reaching here Sunday night.
Dr. Higgins, Of Haley, was tele-
graphed to come, and DR.. Hall. of
this place, started at once ON horse
dack for the scene of the accident
Asa Abbott tells us that Goble and
Bostwick were at work in the Ia
homa and had drilled several holes.
The giant powder caps had been
clinched for two of the holes,
and while Goble was clinching the
II
third one 1T exploded, which caused
eighty caps and ten or twelve sticks
OF giant powder near by to explode.
Bostwlck's face was torn and bruised
to an unrecognizable shape, and one
eye was blown from its socket and
hung upon his cheek. Coolies nose
and face were badly cut, his skull
fractured, one thumb torn off, hands
mangled and left leg shattered.
lT has been quiet at the Halleluiah
barracks this week. No arrests. Few
women have been in attendance at
the nightly meetings. Cozens, who
was fined for resisting an officer when
here last, publishes report of the af-
fair in the War Cry, the Halleluiah
organ, but he does not adhere strict
ly to facts. Can Jesus save prevar-
icator? To lie for the glory of God
has been practiced in various ages,
and some boldly assert that St. Paul
appreciated the custom. But in this
glorious nineteenth century, only
politicians, lawyers and newspapers
are licensed to lie, but to get caught
prevariceting is considered disgrace
full. This makes the business hazard
Gus. Consequently there are few
lawyers and politicians who, out of
respect for their regulations, will not
tell lie. But the newspaper is a
notorious liar. 1t lies for it's patrons,
lies for its country, lies for money
and lies for fun, lies east, lies west,
lies all around the world, it lies open
and it lies folded, it lies in the par
lors, and in the novels, on the center
tables, the counters and the floors,
and when kicked out it continues "
ing around the door yard and no one
censures it for its habits of lying
