for horse stealing at Coltax were arrested on
Snake river opposite Lewiston Monday
evening by deputy sheriff Young, OF Whit

pally silver, proved to be arsenic containing
q small percentage of silver. 1t may
change character on a deeper prospecting.
1t is worth further development.
From all we can learn the Spokane i Pa
louise road and the Idaho Transit will con.
meet at Lewiston; that both will be built at
an early day probably before tho expira-
ton of 1889. and that Camas Prairie will be
connected with Lewiston by rail before the
end of 1889. We can learn nothing to pre-
