STATESMAN: Joseph Pinkham and
DR.. FL. K. Dubois returned on
Wednesday from a health and pleas
ure trip to Henry's lake and the ad-
lacent mountain country, high up on
the North Fork of Snake river. Del
egate Dubois, who was one of the
party, came as far as Blackfoot. Mr..
Pinkham describes the country around
Henry's lake as abounding in game
of all kinds. There are moose, elk,
deer and antelope innumerable, with
a very fair sprinkling of bears of the
various colors and varieties. There
was no lack of fish in the streams,
while the wild fowls alone would
have sufficed to feed Nerxes army
There are some very large and fertile
open spaces or prairies, in the neigh
borhood of the lake, where a number
of frontier ranchers and stockmer
nave their homes and where they en-
JOY life of comparative ease, plenty
and conteutment. Among the num-
Der of those settled there is Mrs
Smith, a widow, whose husband died
several years ago, leaving her tht
proprietress of large herds of horse:
and cattle. Mrs. Smith is a younget
sister of Princess Sarah Winnemuc
ca, both daughters of old Winnemuc
ca, a former Chief of the Piute 1ndl
ans.

The beautiful capital of our Terri
tory is growing with wonderful ra.
pidity, and is pronounced one of the
handsomest and most attractive Of
the cities Of the West. 1t is an oasis
IN the desert, as it were, the sur
rounding plains and rolling hills con-
tanning no timber, while poplars, wal
nut and all kinds Of fruit trees adorn
every block not on Main street.
Among the improvements might
be mentioned Peter Sonna's large
opera house, which is not excelled in
arrangement and beauty by any in
the Northwest. 1t contains a roomy
stage, and every seat in the dress
circle and gallery is raised.
John Lemp IS building brick, the
front OF which takes over half of the
block opposite the Overland Hotel,
and is l02 feet deep. The lower
story will be occupied by merchants,
while the two upper storiss are said
to be for hotel. The building will
be OF considerable height, iron and
glass front, and will add much to the
beauty of the city, and increase the
value Of property in the neighbor-
hood.
The foundation of the new Odd
Fellow Hall, adjoining the Overland
Hotel, is laid, and the brick nasons
will soon commence work. 1t will be
a handsome three-story structure.
Fifteen or twenty handsome resi-
dences are gong up in different por.
tlons of the city.
A handsome granite fence is going
up around the Territorial Capitol
block.
When Sidney Dillon visited Boise
City, last Tuesday, he expressed him
self as delighted with the place, and
said that the railroad depot ought te
be in town.
The rapid and permanent growth
of the capital is evidence of the
growing wealth OF the Territory
and no other town should envy bel
beauty or prosperity.

Seven Devils.
Weiser T.ezdsr

Notwithstanding the black eye this
greatest of all camps received by the
failure OF the French syndicate, we,
on Tuesday, saw three six horse
teams en- route to the depot here haul
ing sixty hundred each of copper ore
from the Seven Devils. Would the
owners of these mines go to the ex.
pense eff shipping this ore to East St.
Louis, Mo-, for fun? We think not
There is money in it. 1t cannot be
laid down at the smelter in East St.
Louis for less than forty to fifty dol
lars per ton. How does this fact
strike capitalists? We have, as we
have told the public time and time
again, the largest outcrop of the rich
est copper ore in sight known on the
continent, and simply because the
camp is to-day held back on account
of the want of cheap transportation,
it lays there dormant. When a move
is made to allay this difficulty, which
is certain to come, it will take millions
to purchase what might be to-day
purchased for nomlnally small sum.

PROSECUTORS, until recently, have
nourished prejudice against the
mountain south of town. believing
that it contained neither gold nor sill
yer, but there was no good cause for
that belief, for the mountain had new
er been prospected. Some young
men OF this place, who were guided
by the old adage that gold and sill
yer are where you find them," could
see no reason why that was not as
good section to prospect in as any
other, aud finding that the mountain
had been slighted by prospeetors,
concluded to try their luck and soon
struck copper and silver. Until this
discovery it was not known that there
was any copper in the Basin. This
mountain is now the center of attrac-
tion, and twenty-five locations have
recently been made.

OwING to circumstances over which
Bishop Talbot had no control, he was
compelled to hold services here last
Thursday evening instead of on the
following Sunday, as was his previous
intention, and this has changed his
program throughout the Territory.
He arrived here on Thursday and
left Friday for Silver city. The Bish-

ming, stated that he was somewhat
upset IN Placerville by the arrival of
MeGinley's troupe, but he stated that
Mckinley had made arrangements SO
as not to interfere with the Bishops
night, but the latter changing bis
program made a conflict The Bish-
op was so unfortunate last year as to
run counter to a musical troupe. We
can now look for show whenever
the reverend gentleman strikes the

had for years. He stated that "wher
