CAssIA COUNTY TIMES: The OBJ
streperous burg of Malta seems to
again be on the rampant. Gouged
eyes, chewed fingers and swellcd
heads became too common for the

of the law, provided they don't skip
before Sheriff Marshall reaches the

Tuesday evening the people in the Vi
cinity OF an uptown hotel were treat
ed to little episode OF rather pc.
culiar and interesting nature. The
scene consisted Of various kinds of
iangles between father and mother,
daughter and sweetheart inter-
spersed with foot race between the
father and mother, during which time
the loving daughter grasped the OPP
portunity and quietly stole away in
the darkness, scoring decided VIC
tory for the bravo young lovers
Since the above was placed in type
the affair has developed into sort Of
romantic marriage, the high contract
ing parties being William Bowen and
Miss Alice Laws, both we'll known
residents OF Albion. The services o.
Judge Pierson were called into requi
sition and hasty ceremony per
formed last Wednesday morning
which dispelled the single felicity o
the fair young lovers. The wedding
although hurriedly prepared, seems T.
have settled the matter SO far as tn

young friend Williams has taken tn
proper course OF the Laws, while tn
charming and handsome Alice seem
satisfied wish her Bowen, whicl

We learn from parties recently
from Nicholia that considerable
copper mining boom is beginning
down on Birch creek.
These copper mines are situated
twelve miles south Of Nioholia or
about half way between the Viola
mines and the Andes mine-just over
the Lemhi county line-snd, since the
Alturas division, are now conceded
to Bingham county. The copper
veins are in the northern portion of
the Oriental Mining District, which
was formed by Chas. F. Blackburn
and some friends several years ago.
1t was then the eastern portion OF AL
turas.
The Anaconda Company of Butte
has bought the Paymaster mine on
Birch creek, and the company now
has twenty odd men at work opening
the property. 1t is said the Blue

copper ore is being taken out, much
OF which goes over fifty per cent. in
the red metal. These are large veins
showing continuous groupings for
several thousand feet, and no doubt

George d. Prentice, probably one
of the most gifted writers that ever
added lustro to American journalism,
said: 1t cannot be that earth is
mans only abiding place. 1t cannot
be that our life is bubble cast up
by the ocean of eternity, to float a
moment upon its waves and sink into
nothingness. Else why these high
and glorious aspirations which leap
like angels from the tempels of our
hearts forever wandering unsatisfed:
WHY is 1t that the rainbow and
clouds come over us with beauty
that is not of earth, and then pass or
and leave US to muse on their lowell
ness? Why is it that the stars which
hold their festival around the mid
night throne, are set above the grasl
Of our limited faculties and foreve
hooking us with their unapproachabl
glory? And finally why is it tina
the bright forms of human beauty ar
presented to our view and taken iron
us leaving the thousand affections t
flow back in Alpine torrents upon on
hearts? We were born for highe
destiny than earth. There is realr
where the rainbow never fades, wher
the stars will he spread out before u
like islands that slumber on the ocear
and where the beautiful beings tbs
, pass before us will forever stay in OF
. presence.

The U. s. Supreme court recent
" rendered decision Of interest
to timber land claimants, who have
not yet received patents. Som e
time ago j. b. Montgomery, OF
Portlrnd, brouoht suit against the
government for patents to certain
timber lands, under act Of March,
1887, giving district and circnit
courts jurisdiction in claim cases.
Timber eatey had been made on
the land, it paid for and final re-
ceipts issued, but the general land
office refused patent on the repre-
sentation OF the local officers that
the land was more valuable fol
agriculture. The circuit court
rendered decision in favor Of the
plaintiff, but on appeal to suprem g
court the ruling was reversed, hold
ing in effect that the executive
department only has Jurisdiction
over the interests of the public do
main, and not the courts, and that
the judicial branch cannot compel
that department to perform its du-
ties.

HooD's Canal, with the Union
City precinct, came out in force
undreamed of at the recent cleo.
ton, and went solid for sMcRcavv,
securing his election, which the
vote OF past elections could mot
have done. McReavy's majority
over Fairfield, the Chehalis County
republican nominee, is 81 votes.
At Union City precinct forty In
dians were voted this year, and, it
will be seen, without this large
addition to the usual vote Mr..
McReavy's chances would be
doubtful. At The general election
last fall but few Indians voted.
There is an opinion that the In
dams cannot vote, legally, bnt
under the provisions OF late act
they are given this power, though
the privilege is not generally ex-
ercised by them so far. There
seems to be some doubt in the mat
