BY 8 o'clock on the following morning
we had caught our grasshoppers and
were ready to be of. AT Clutches
house we parted, two going up the
Wind river and two down, while Mayer,
Jackson and myself went over to a little
stream called Front Creek. This was
the stream indicated by Crutch as 80

We were soon on the ground and at
work hauling cut the speckled beauties.
From the first hole jackson
took nine and | six. AS we
moved down the stream and the work
became warmer the grasshoppers gave
out and sent two men TO catch more.
1t was lively work. but by dint OF perse-
verance we got enough, and after fish
ing two and half hours the driver of
our ambulance came TO say II we wished
to ride home we must stop fishing, as
the ambulance was filled with trout.

The party down the river had sixty

eighty. The lieutenant had taken the

quite three pounds.
Mrs. Crutch had prepared an excel

Snrinn Here

Apropos of the arrival of the alleged
first spring month, the Chicago Herald
makes the following suggestions:
Take off your winter underclOthes-
and die of pneumonia,
In the springtime gentle Annie still
wears her sealskin sack.
Don't let the furnace fire go out
while you are writing spring poetry.
Gentle spring is here, but neverthe-
less keep the snow Off your sidewalk.
Don't trust to the rosy promises of
the almanac. Look at your thermome-
ter.
March came in like a spring lamb,
and according to the old rule, 1t should
go out like a roaring lion.
Hail gentle spring! Ethereal mild
ness come!--unless. of course, you are
unavoidably detained by bad weather.
You might look out for the early robin,
but probably if he has got any sense you
won't see him for month yet.
1t is spring, to be sure, but dom put
your snow shovel where you won't be
able to find it in month or more later.
Say this is more like winter than
spring" rather than winter is linger-
ing in the lap OF spring" The latter is
a chestnut.
The spring poet doth now appear.
The Herald, however, has large stock
of spring poetry left over from last sea-
sou.
Serenaders, unless afraid of in influenza,
will now attune their throats to the
sweet strains of I'm the Springtime,
Gentle Annie"
In the spring the young mans fancy
lightly turns to the tailor that he can
stand off for n spring overcoat ana a
new suit OF clothes.

exultcd over the delightful spring
weather perished in the blizzard of the

Relief From Indigestion.

the most aggravated form of Indigestion, the
attacks of which were nearly as severe as
spasms. After costly treatment two boxes

LONG VALLEY LETTER
VAN WYcK, Feb. 10. 1880

An w fCh3 ED. ~, 1889,
There was quite an excitement at
Van Wyck last Saturday night, when
at the close of the Lyceum it was dis
covered that several blankets and a
new comfort had disappeared. This
was quite serious loss, as the night
was bitter cold and many had long
distance to travel. 1t was quite a
loss to one young man in particular,
who had brought young lady from
q distance Of eight miles. His loss
was a pair of heavy double blankets,
which were greatly needed in their
long ride home. Many conjectures
were made as to who had taken them,
till finally public opinion centered on
one person as the guilty party, from
the fact Of his having left the Lyce-
um before it closed. On Monday
morning the Constable, R. Tull, ac-
companied by the parties from whom
the goods were taken, and armed
with warrant for the arrest of Thom-
as Shores, proceeded to his place of
employment. When first arrested he
denied all knowledge of the affair,
but as they neared the office of the
Justice he became frightened and
made a full confession, offering to re-
turn everything he had taken and
give security for the costs if they
would only let him off. At the trial
which came off to-day in the court Of
Justice Dukes, the following facts
were elected. The accused is TWEEN
ty-6ve years of age, and cook by
occupation; lived in Grand Ronde
valley eighteen years prior to coming
to Long valley about June l, 1887
He acknowledged his guilt and was
sentenced to sixty days in the count,

MINING OUTLOOK.

Notwithstanding the unfavorable
outlook for placer mining this year,
the people of this county have good
cause for rejoicing. Placer mining
has been on the wane for good
many years, and hopes for the future
have been built on the solid founda-
ton of our many quartz mines, the
production of which has increased as
the output of placers has decreased,
and although the placers will yield
but little this year, the prospects now
are that there will more demand for
labor and a greater yield Of the pre-
cious metals this year than last. The
limited supply of water, while it will
contract placer mining in the Basin
to very short season and decreased
operations while the season lasts, it
will prove benefit to the new placer
fields along More creek, from twelve
to eighteen miles below this place,
and along Grimes creek, near its
mouth. 1t is low water the miners
of those districts require to insure
long runs. During the period of high
water they cannot carry on opera
tions. Work will soon begin down
there and continue until late next
fall. Mining is carried on quite ex-
tensively in those districts. Quartz
mining is taking a step forward that
is very encouraging. The sale of
three mines in Elkhorn district-the
Gladstone, Orc Fino and Revenue
to Boston capitalists, will cause that
district to take sudden jump for
ward. The company will put up a
mill this year, and construct road
up Elk creek, to the mines, from this
place. When these sales were pretty
we'll assured, prospectors up there
began to rustic, and several new To-
cations was the result. The immense
4 Weld of the Elkhorn-over S22, 900
S in few weeks, and operations car
r ried on very limitedly, proves tina
n the new developments in that ole
f mine were not made in vain, and i
It again takes rank among the leading
u mines of Idaho. The Gold Hill
e company, of Quartzburg, is employ
5, ing larger force now than it has a
anv time for several years, and tn
1t Pioneer mine, which the company
II now working, is yielding better or
'e than it has at any time since opera
h tions began. The shaft going dow
" from the lower level of the Fores
ct King mine proves that the "pay goe
down." and the mill will soon b
n- making music again and roll out til
i'll yellow bullion. The Washington
or located many years ago, stood a fe
O. degrees below zero in the estimate
81 of most quartz miners until last yea
It. when deeper developments caused
to loom up magni6cently, and it
n now, without doubt, one of the richie
to mines of the Territory, as well as t
Ter chief in size. 1t will have mill b
ng fore long. Many new and promis''
ity discoveries have been made IN ditf'
lay ct districts. Altogether the Quito
ow is very encouraging. The new le'
en- in the Banner-the 500-foot-proN
. that the richness of the ore of tt
mine still continues to increase
work is extended down. We ha
aea the mines. All that is lacking

big this way.

Mr.. REEL, night watchman, made
good suggestion in the way OF pre-
paration in case of fire. There is
but little water in the reservoir, and
it is very doubtful if what there Is
could be utilized in case of fire, as
there is considerable ice around the
headgate. 1t will thaw out in few
days, but in the meantime it would
be good idea for everybody to keep
barrels and other vessels filled with
water, and thereby be prepared for
elective work in case of fire.

CENTERvILLE ITEMS.

Dr. Williams has at last settled |
down to every day life, and is prov
ing quite success as specialist.
Meffert is having things arranged
SO that we can fight fires with more
precision in the future. His hotel has
caught fire twice this winter, and
each time created quite scare. We
are now to have hook aud ladder
company and fine force pump.
No snow, and the question is, do
these telephone wires have anything
to do with it? Of course they do.
But no matter; we can't do without
the telephone now If we never have
any more snow.
There is some prospecting going
on with many big schemes mapped
oat for the future. The sale of the
Elk creek mines is an esta blished
fact, and | think this will stimulate
prospecting and give Boise county
boom. This sale has the stamp of le-
gitimacy, and everybody hopes and
believes that the company purchas-
ing will make splendid success.
There is absolutely no humbuggery
about it, and l venture the assertion
that similar group of mines cannot
be had in the world for the money
that these were purchased for. A
good deal of credit is due Col. VIM.
Sweet for his untiring efforts to work
up sale, and as he has other mines
of which he thinks well, we think he
has future as mining man that is
of much promise. Now if we can
get the bedrock fume started we may
reasonably expect something like old
times. Boise county is rich in gold
