Idaho Herald: With an Agent
who knows how to handle the In
dian police, they are not such ar.
rant fools as one would suppose
Last Friday night Captain Teton
Bill, accompanied by Sun-wa-hu-na,
Major Tommy and Ruff, went
through the rain and darkness to a
wick-e-up some twelve or fourteen
miles distant, and arrested a young
Bannock Indian known by the
name of Race Horses Nephew, who
is wanted for the murder of a white
man, which occurred just across
the line, in Wyoming These In
dian policemen and the U. S. Indian
Agent deserve much credit for the
speedy and quiet manner in which
they made the arrest of this young
Indian murderer, who will now be
forced to answer in court for his
crime.
Shoshone Journal: The prison
ers in the Shoshone Jail tried to es-
cape Thursday by digging a hole
through the stone wall, but just as
they were ready to crawl out Sher-
iff Campbell and jailer White cru
ely marched them round into the
new steel cage where the flies won't
trouble them much to their disgust.
The officers were looking on while
the boys were digging out.
Challis Messenger: Carl Lane,
Dave Clum and Henry Duffy, prin-
cipal owners of the Eureka and
other mines in Seafoam district,
arrived in Challis several days ago,
having come out for the winter.
They seem well pleased with their
summers work and the outlook for
their different properties. The Eu-
reka, from which they shipped IA
tons of ore this season, that aver
aged ia ounces per ton, is now
developed by tunnel-driven all
the way on the ledge and on ore
1872 feet in length, AZ feet Of which
was run this year. The breast of
this tunnel show 3-foot 1O-inch
vein of ore that is almost free from
waste and samples IS ounces per
ton. The ore is antimonial silver.
The tunnel is connected with the
surface from near it's face with a
1O2-foot raise, for air. They have
an extension Of the Eureka, and
higher on the mountain, which is
showing good but upon which little
work has been done.
Boise Democrat: George Willis
met with quite an adventure in
coming down from Pine Grove last
week. He started across the noun
tains aiming to strike the road
leading to Idaho City, and when
about thirty miles from Pine Grove,
he left his horse standing in the
trail to go to a spring to get water.
Returning the animal was not to
be seen, having become frightened
at something and scampered over
the hill, taking with him pistol,
overcoat, several ounces in gold
dust, and worst of all his days ra-
tons. To cut the story short he
got off the direction he intended
travelling, and after walking twenty
four hours found himself coming
down the Warm Springs gulch
above Boise City, footsore and hun
cry. He has since heard of the
horse, but does no: know whether
the other property was with him
Jesus Galindo left at f. r. Coffin &
Bros. store the other day NAM
moth hens egg i'll which there was
but about a quarter of an inch diff
ference in the measurement both
ways. 1t was supposed to be the
not uncommon double-yelk egg,
but upon breaking one end it was
discovered that it contained another
egg in size the same as an ordinary
sample of hen fruit and which also
had a complete and perfect shell. !
In the space between the shells
there was nothing-a vacuum. It /
is the first instance of the kind that
ever came under our observation,
World: Ed. w. Barry, the FL
mira company's assayer, came in
from Banner last week on a short
visit. Ed. says magnificent strike
was made in the Wolverine mine q
short time ago. He brought in
specimen chunk of ore weighing
twelve or fourteen pounds that will
assay in the neighborhood of one
thousand ounces to the ton. It
carries native silver, ruby, silver
glance, antimonial silver and sui
phurets, and is a beautiful specimen.
The last run on Wolverine ore
yielded $40 per ton, from vein va
rying from three to seven feet wide.
The next run will be on ore from
