Moody's refusal to accept, says:
Moody will do nothing. He stub:
bornly resists every effort that does not
make his nomination an absolute GER
tainty, and we are justified in believing
that he fears the result OF a new con
vention."
The Dakota Republican, published at
Vermillion, in it's issue OF Augusta, 1872,
in alluding to Brookiugs' proposition
and Moody's refusal to accept, says:
We think Judge Brookings has acted
nobly to secure unity in the party for
which he should have all praise, and we
think the verdict OF the people at the
polls will sanction our Judgment. Will
Colonel Moody do as much, or will he
persist in his refusal at all attempts to
unite the party, thus elect q democrat
and politically damn himself for all
future time? We shall see.
Referring to the claim made by Moody
and his friends that he (Moody) was q
poor man and needed the office, the
Yankton Press OF July IL, 1872, says:
is poverty necessarily any qualifica-
ton, and is this any reason why the re-
publlcans OF Dakota should give the
colonel q highest Office within their

THE mo STRIKE.


Opiuions OF weil-Known Mining Men
of Ceur d'Alsns ana Eisewhsr.
fCmur d. Alehs Sun
The recent discoveries on the south
side OF Prichard creek, mention Of which
was made In last weeks Sun, are the
talk OF every one, and hundreds OF peo-
plc have visited the country during tho
week, among whom were several expert
enced mining men OF the South Fork,
namely, Scott Mcdonald, ID. Doyle, W.
II. Petit, J. A. Finch and several 9TH
ers. and the general verdict 10 that the
showing is away beyond their expecta-
tions. The opinion Of zach and every
properties Ia that the showing
compares favorably with amy OF the
best lodes ever discovered on the South
Fork in comparison TO tho amount OF
development WORK that has so far been
done. Tho ledge Is being rapidly ex-
posed and more can be said OF this
promising silver lead district in AN other
week than can 10 said with justice at
the present time. Yesterday Mr.. Dnrl-
ing again struck the ledge on the Bar
ton location and large chunks Of galena
were taken out. Every body is enthu-
siastic over the discoveries, and the en-
tire mountain Is alive with prospectors.
A number of samples have been sent
out to he assayed, but no returns have
been received TO our knowledge.

FORTY PER CENT. IN LEAD
And n Good Showing oi Silvor--
The Most important Hit OF
tho Year.

MURRAY, Idaho, May 14.-The
rich strike made little over a week
ago near Murray demonstrates the
fact that the hills washed by Prlch-
ard creek will soon furnish large
proportion Of the silver and lead
output Of Shoshone county. On
July 12, 1889, S. w. Darling and
George p. Carter located the Barton
claim, on the south side OF Prichard
creek, about one-half mile west of
Sullivan, and three and a half miles
east of Murray. They worked on
the claim all winter, ran tunnel to
cross-cut the ledge, but without
finding II. However, they did some
development work at q point lower
down the hill and nearly two weeks
since uncovered q lnrge body Of ore,
consisting Of carbonates and galena.
The ledge Is from two to ten feet
wide on surface and Ia uncovered on
Its trend for over 800 feet
Very large pieces OF ore (some
fifty pounds In weighD were brought
to Murray and ELECTED universal ex-
prcssious of admiration. Ii Is en-
tremely rich In carbonate of lead,
galena, crystailized lead and silver,
Although no returns have yet been
received from assays, experts claim
(and moderately, too) that 1t will 20
at least 40 per cent. In lead and very
high in silver. The groupings of
the ledge are iron, but In places car
Donate ore crops out very strongly.
The find was kept quiet for q few
days, but on Saturday the cat was
let out of the bag and next day
prospectors were thick ON the hills
In that vicinity.
The locators have two extensions,
one on each end of the Barton. The
showing is extremely good on each.
The Ochdent Mining Company
and Simms have located an extern
sion OH the east and jesse Coulter
Que on the west.
This is n parallel ledge to that of
the Forsaken, Indiana and Ohio
claims owned by George Chapman
and w. III. Douty. A 4Sj shaft
has been sunk fifty feet on the
Forsaken, with ore all the way from
the surface. There is now twenty
inches of ore In the bottom, going
10 per cent. lead and $50 In silver.
This ledge also shows carbonate of
ore and crystallized lead. One-half
of the Eorsaken group Is under bond
to MIR. w. II. Petit for $4,000
This section has been overlooked
In the search for silver and lead
bearing ores for three reasons; First,
because 1t was thought that Prich-
ard creek was only good for gold
secondly, the furor created by dis
coveries ON the South Fork, and
which drew away most OF the pros.
pectors from the mother camp, and
thirdly, on account of Its being
densely timbered. The forest fires
of last fall were blessings In dis
guise, us they uncovered tracts o!
coed mineral land which up to
that time were covered with Inn
penetri ble' underground. Let Spo-
Kane get her sInelter In running or
der aud by that time the North
Side will give its quota of silver and
lead ore to keep them fired up.

An ExPianatfen Concerning tn
Washington Central.


WATERvILLE, May 11.-Recently
this correspondent stated that the
Washington Central railroad was to
Immediately build into Waterville.
This has been denied, because
Engineer McNutt's advance locat-
ing party has been suddenly recalled.
But this will not Interfere with
work minute. The reason for this
recall was that his party WIS the
only one ahead of actual construc-
tion work, and on account of n
fight on the Sound with the North
ern Pacific railroad suddenly devel-
oping, this party could be best
spared, temporarily. Previously to
leaving the McNutt party located
the road toward Waterville, twenty
miles ahead Of present construction.
1t Is expected that on completion OF
cross-sectioning Bob Goran's party
will finish locating the road into
Waterville. Men and teams are fast
completing the road between Almira
and Gilberts, the latter place being
six miles west of Coulee City, on
top OF the Grand coulee west wall.
The mail routes to tho following
places have all changed hands since
the last letting: G. q. Mccoy, of
Walla Walla, has secured the mail
and stage route between Ellensburgh
and Watervllle, and Waterville and
Ruby City. Mr.. Tench, of Idaho,
has the route between Waterville
and the end of the Washington
Central. The stage between the
latter points is now run three times
n week. This lisa great convenience
to travel. The trip Is made In ten
hours; fare ~. Paaies leaving Spo-
kane Falls in the morning arrive In
Waterville early the next afternoon.
The stage three times q week to
Chelan Lake is a big paying ven.
ture. Each trip it is crowded with
pleasure seekers Quite a mining
ex element Is belng developed at
the head Of the lake. Prospectors
are bringing down from Pierce
river, which stream empties into
the lake, some very fine mineral
lied quartz. wsterville Is fhst be-
coming the headquarters for out
fitting prospecting parties Tor the
Wenatchee, Methow, Chelan and
Entiat mining districts.
A soaking rain commenced last
evening and has continued all day.
From appearances 1t will continue
all night. Our growing crops are

OF uniformed knights and hand
some women was one tnat even

The music by the Second regi-
nient band was exceptionally iine.
Previous to the hour announced Tor

Hunting Comrades.

If you see two old hunters going out for
game in company you will observe that they
never interfere with one another New men,
those who are just serving their apprentice
ship, are usually anxious to be ahead. They
want the credit of being the first to see the
game. They want also, perhaps, the first
shot. They do not consider that IL two heads
come in sight over a ridge the chances that
they will be observed are just twice as great
as If only one appears. They seem to think,
too that Providence is looking out for them
in some especial way, and that game will be
deaf and blind to their blunders though fully
alive to those Of others. Old hunters act very
differently.
1t is understood by them that the man who
is ahead is to do the hunting. The one be-
hind, while keenly scanning the country to
see anything that may present itself, and
which may have escaped the eye Of his COM
panon, never interferes with him, but awaits
his directions. He is ready at u sign to creep
up behind his leader and shoot, or he Is
equally prepared to lie down where he Ia, and
to wait there for an indefinite time, or he
will make long round to start the game by
giving it his wind or showing himself to 1t, so
as to drive 1t in some desired direction. For
the time being the man who is in the lead is a
commander, and if the two have hunted In
company often enough to understand each
other, they work together with most perfect
system. Forest and Stream.
