A Low Rate on Dry Ores.

Ketchum Keystone.l
The Viola Smelling Works, at
Nicholia, Idaho, offer SIG rate on
dry ores delivered at Camas station
on the Utah & Northern. Such a
proposition on Wood River would
create lively revolution in the min
ing industry of this locality
Hundreds OF. prospects and mining
claims in this country are now lying
dormant for want of just such a rate.
There are immense deposits OF low
grade dry ores in Alturas county that
are worthless under the stringency of
existing tariffs and the want Of large
capital to erect suitable machinery
for their reduction, that will some day
bring this region to the front rank OF
mining industry and make All output
for Idaho that will astonish the world

A Stage "Held Up."

The stage which left Challis last
Saturday was halted by highway
men, when about two miles out, and
relieved of bar of bullion worth
about $4,000, and small sum in cur
rency. The passengers were not
molested, the highwaymen being
evidently after the bullion. This is
believed to be owned by Morrison &
Pearsons, as they are said to have
been holding about $4,000 WORTH
which they intended to send out al
the first favorable opportunity.
AS the bullion was mostly gold
the "brick" taken by the b'ghwaymer
was not very large.

thing Reliable at Last.
The intensest interest has been felt,
in this city since Saturday evening,
in the doings of the delegates to the
National Republican Convention at
Chicago. Yesterday and to-day
people talked of nothing else, and
even usually staid business men ne
elected their customers to 60 out on
the streets and discuss the various re-
ports said to come from Chicago.
These were plentiful, aud as widely
divergent as could be. Early this
morning the AIturas Hotel led off
with an announcement on its bulletin
board that Depew of New York had
been nominated. This seemed to
please many who felt sure that every
member OF every brotherhood of rail-
way employes-including conductors,
engineers, 6remen and brakemen-
and every Knight of Labor, would
certainly vote for him, because he
has always been a staunch friend OF
the laboring men and there has never
been a strike on any road or in any
enterprise with which he has been
connected. But the telegraph op
orator at the Haley depot soon dis
PEELED the illusion caused by the re-
port by stating that no such dispatch
had come to him.
Then a rumor to the effect thai
Blaine had been nominated. gainec
credence. This, after all, was not sur
prising, as it is just what has beer
expected right along; and it was no
without regret that the news was re
ceived, later on, that Harrison of In
diana had finally secured the prize Of
the receipt of telegram from Balm
peremptorily requesting the with
drawal of his name, which had bee
used against his wishes.

dispose of all their produce at the
mining camps within their reach.
Harry Bowman, George Titus and
Doc Cramer went to Galena, last
Wednesday, with supplies, tools, etc.,
to resume work on the Nabob mine,
near that place. The Ketohum Key

body Of the murdered man found Eli the park
On Monday morning has been identified by
Mrs. Barbara Koehler, the proprietor OF the
Hotel Garni, Hoboken, as that Of man
named Hermann Kreutsmann, who stopped
at her house.
Mrs Koehler and her son-in-law, John Fan.
ming, who is roundsman on the Hoboken
police force, arrived at Broad street station,
and were met by Detectives Woods and
Geyer They all proceeded 70 the morgue,
where DR.. Delker was engaged in embalming

covered the face and Mrs Koehler and Fan.
ming peered down upon the white features.

Yes, It looks like the man / ate supper
with at the boarding house, said Tanning.
They were told to look carefully, and after
a minute examination they both declared
that the body was that Of Kreutsmann.
When Mrs. Koehler returned to police
headquarters she told Chief Wood what she
knew about the man. She said that at first
she had concluded that the ghastly remains
were those Of George Etzold, one of her
boarders.
Later she was convinced that the deceased
was German named Kreutsmann, who had
stopped at her house one dhy and a night
he came from Indiana TO Hoboken 10 meet
his wife, who had been, or is still, in Europe
She could not recall what city or town hs
lived in, but knew he was doing a thriving
trade as a tinsmith and had plenty of money
Mrs. Kreautsmann did not arrive by the
steamer she wrote she would take, and hei
husband left Mrs Koehler 20 visit some
countrymen in this city
Mrs. Koehler met him several days later
and inquired II his wife had joined him. He
said that she had disappointed him. He in.
tended waiting the arrival Of the next
steamer, and, If she was not aboard, said he
would then return horne. Kreutsmann wa

in height and was stout, had dark brown hair
and this mnstaehe. He was Between 35 and
80 years old
The detectives do not believe in Mrs
Koehler's story, but think it case Of mis-
taken identity. According 70 Mrs. Koehler's
statement Kreutsmann was well dressed
clean and neat in appearance, while the body
was very dirty, and from all appearances
the man had not taken a bath for some time.
