WE learn by private letter the par
ticulars of sad affair which occurred
near Preston, Oneida county, on the
morning of August 2lst, and which
resulted in the death of William Hen
ry Shafer, an old and respected set
tier of that county. He was hauling
sand from the bluffy banks of Bear
river, and was digging the sand from
a hole in the bluff when the embank-
ment gave way and buried the old
gentleman under a hundred tons OF
more of sand and dirt. His son, a
mere boy, was the only person with
him, and the lad worked heroicallv to
ex:ricate his father from the terrible
situation. He succeeded in getting
him partly uncovered, when he foune
that his father was dead. Then h,
unhitched one of the horses and hur
ried to town to give the alarm. De
ceased was 81 years of age, although
apparently as spry aid active as
man of thirty. He leaves wife an,

BOISE Cry. Sept. 4, 3!

BOISE Cry, Sept. 4, '89.
Boise City is at the present time
one of the prettiest, if not the pretti-
est of the beautiful towns Of the Pa
ciic coast. Around the residences
the shade trees are of the most at
tractive species, while the fruit trees
are loaded down. Black walnut
trees Of few years growth are Gov
cred with nuts, and many talk OF
planting more Of the same kind, as
we'll as other species of nut trees.
AS Willis Sweet, u. S. Attorney,
did not arrive from Portland until
last night, the U. S. grand and trial
jurors have had nothing to do.
Mr.. Barber, of Squaw Creek, who
has been afflicted with paralysis, died
here this morning.
Sheriff John P. Campbell, of Lo-
gan county, was here yesterday. He
informed me that the recent item in
the Haley News Miner to the effect
that he had placed two enemies in
Jail together at Shoshone, and that
one killed the other, was all mis-
take. The men were not placed in
jail, and both are we'll and at large.
As Mr.. Campbell is a man whose
judgment is too good to place enc
mics together, says he will appreci-
ate the favor if all papers that copied
the item will correct the mistake. He
thinks the report gained circulation
over the finding of body on tie
car about that time. The man who
had been murdered and hidden
among the ties was from Wallace,
Shostone county, and named r. La
Fontaine, as was learned from road
tax receipt found in his pocket. Mr.
Campbell has lately received the ap.
pointment of U. S. Deputy Marshall
The circus has been the only
source of amusement here lately, and
everybody has taken it in. The tum
bling and riding were good, and the
trick donkeys the best that ever came
to Idaho.
The mine a few miles north o
town, under development by VIM
Stout, is considered a fine piece o
property. He has refused $4,000 fo
a one half interest in it. BERT.

PROSPECTS OF A RAILIsOA A ID
DOWN SNAKE RIVER.
Lewiston Teller. Aug. oath.

1e"istoh leiiers Aug. 20th.
II Is not for US 10 say at whose in.
stance the attempt is being made to
make railroad through the channel
OF Salmon river into the Snake, with
out encountering the snow line. The
surveys are being made by a company
who have ample means to carry on
their work and to build their line to
the North Pacific coast. 1t is gen.
orally conceded and admitted that
their purpose is to build as direct as
practicable and to find their terminus
somewhere in the vicinity of Puget
Sound. They regard the waters of
Puget Sound as superior to any other
body of water, and larger, and hav-
ing better entrance from the sea
than can be found anywhere ON the
Pacific coast, and some say on the
Atlantic coast. This company claims
that the transit of railroad through
the mountains, bordering Salmon
river and reaching the snake, will be-
come decidedly the best practicable
through line from east to west passing
the great bug bear of the Rocky
mountains. So far as we can learn
this company of surveyors will have
made thorough test of the route in
side of four or five weeks from the
present time, consequently we will
be likely to hear from them and their
movements and progress inside OF
two or three weeks. 1t will be re-
membered that Colonel Delacy, in
the employ of the Northern Pacific
company, at an early day, long be-
fore the Northern Pacific road had
reached as far as St. Paul, made this
survey down Salmon river and with
his men ard boats proceeded as fa'
as Lewiston. We did not see Col
Delacy's report, although we had ar
interview with him in which he sale
it was an excellent route; that there
were only two or three points a
all difficult. One was to ascend from
Salmon river to Camas Prairie, ant
one other was that he thought thu
difficulty in getting from Salmoi
river into Snake would be grea
owing SO the narrowness of the can
yon at the junction of the two rivers
although he thought that could b,
done. Since that time a y. P. eugi
neer, Vanarsdale, made the survey a
the junction of the two rivers ant
found the route entirely PRACTICABLE
and so reported. More will be de
veloped in short time, and this sec
ton of country is not going to be neg
lected, whether or not the 0. r. (
n, the N. P. R. R., or the the U. F
K. R., who now seems, if possible
to consolidate, are disposed to neg
lect us.

BERT ORCHARD and John and viii
Riordan the other day struck mag
nificent silver ore in their location
made last fall-the lroquols-near
the head of Shaw's gulch, on the
mountain south of town. The ore of
this location, as we'll as of several
other locations on that mountain, car
ries copper. The ledge is just barely
uncovered where they obtained the
silver. A number of pieces were
blistered in forge, and the silver
came out thick, one globule being al
most as large as buckshot. John
Pharriss, all experienced miner, has
secured an interest in the lro1uois
and he and the boys will 60 over IN
day or two to strike camp and dc
development work. They will run q
tunnel one hundred and fifty feet
which will tap the vein at depth o
about seventy-fve feet. The VEN
where they found the silver ore, II
over two feet wide. Besides the sll
yer they also obtained good prospec
of gold.

N. p. FAsssTr and son, Ed. T., and
G. Presswick, of the Elmira Silver
Mining company, returned Wednes-
day from Banner, where they have
been tile past few weeks, and left
yesterday for their home in Elmirs,
N. Y. Mr.. Presswick called on the
WoRLD Just before starting. He
saws the tunnel on the 400 #. level
of the Crown Point and Wolverine
mines has been driven four hundred
feet, all in pay ore, and the end OF
the chute has not been reached.
They now have seven foot ledge
that runs $40 per ton. A tunnel is
being driven west from the 300 #.
level into the Crown Point ground.
This ground cannot be worked at
present on the 400 level on account
of big flow Of water. The company
has concluded not to put new hoist
on the Banner until next season. The
Wolverine is now turning out ore
faster than the mill can crush it, and
there is enough ore in sight in this
and the Wolverine to keep the mill
going for long time. Experienced
miners estimate that the ore body al
ready opened in these two claims,
which are on the same vein, will yield
100000.

AhE sENATORlAL IRRIGATION
COMMITTEE INTERVIEWED.
fdnho's Resources and Capabilities
Detailed.

The members of the Senatorial IT,
r'gation Committee, being interview
ed in San Francisco about the arid
lands in Idaho, gave the following in
teresting information:
In Idaho the committee learned
that there were over 600 separate ir-
r'gation canals now in operation, with
q total length of main line of 1900
miles. Besides this the laterals meas.
ure many hundreds of miles in addi-
ton. In that part of the great Boise
valley which is comprised within Ada
county two great canals are now un-
der construction, with a main-l line
length of $50 miles and laterals of
nearly as much more. There are
nearly half million acres of land in
actual cultivation, all of which is in
the highest state Of productiveness.
1t is estimated that some 6,25O,OOO
acres in Idaho can be supplied with
water at cost not to exceed 81 an
acre. There are no grea: engineer
ing difficulties to encounter, and the
whole of this immense area of fertile
soil can readily be brought under cul-
tivation. Upon the extremely liber-
al basis that forty acres of irrigated
land will support family as we'll as
one hundred acres that are not irri-
gated, this immense territory of arid
land would furnish 156,25O families
with homes. The families would rep
resent population Of 7Sl, $50 souls
But with the requisite village and
town population this number would
be doubled. Upon the Californis
basis of twenty acres of irrigated
equaling 100 of unirrigated land
there would be just twice as man,
homesteads and double the popula
ton. The six and quarter mllio.
acres is worth now not to exceed ff
ty cents an acre. Much of it is no
worth cent. But with water sup
piled at cost of 81 an acre, the val
ue would be at least $25 an acre
which would amount to the enormous
total of sl5O,250,00O. AT the mini
mum California valuation of $50 al
acre for the irrigated land, the valu,
of the 6,250,000 acres of Idaho lane
to be supplied with water at COS
not to exceed $6,250,000 would b,
1912, 100000.
All the irrigation works yet con
structed in Idaho have been by tn,
individual efforts of the farmers VIII
utilize the water. The system 0
supply, as can be imagined from thei
great number and comparatlvel,
small extent, have been comparative
ly costly. 1t is estimated that tn
average expense to the acre of lam
now under cultivation has been no
to exceed $1.5U. OF course, whe
large schemes are carried out as pre-
posed, the average cost would b
greatly lessened.
The areas where the water suppl
could be most readily utilized in Ida
no are in Ada county, in the Bois
River valley, and Bingham count.
in the Bear Lake region.
Many witnesses were examined be
fore the committee, and the estimate
given by them upon the comparativ
productiveness of irrigated land wei
never less than four-fold as compa
ed with unirrigated lands, while man
intelligent persons gave estimates
as high as ten-fold in favor of irrig;
tion.
