TT MEANS A BOOM FOR CALDWELL.
Can't De Lamar Disposes of an Inter.
est in His Property.
Silver City Avalanche.

Silver City Avalanche.
For fortnight a corps of
experts, in the employ of English
capitalists, have been turned loose
on the mountain at De Lamar
with cart-blanche to 60 through
the mine wherever they chose.
They brought their own assay out
fit with them and have. worked six
teen hours per day. They brought
with them the reputation of being
the worst bear experts in the coun-
try. Their report on the property
has resulted in deal, and as soon
as the deal was fixed they reported
the mines to be the richest and
greatest in extent of any they had
ever examined. The full particu-
lars and details of the trade will
not at present be given to the pub
lic,. but we have from Capt. De
Lamar the fact that the trade has
been made on very conservative
basis, which still leaves a three
fifth interest in the hands of the
Captain, with the control and man
agement of the property, and con-
siderable more than a million
dollars in cash paid him.
A joint stock company will at
once be organized in London, and
and the English investors and
Capt. De Lamar will have shares
issued to them for their respective
interests, and a very large sum
will be Immediately appropriated
for extensive improvements, the
first of which to be made will be
an immense mill of the most
modern and labor saving pattern,
which will be placed just west of
the present mill. The daily capac-
lty OF the present mill, which is
now the best equipped one in
Idaho, is seventy tons.
The new mill will have one hun
dred stamps, and will increase the
output of bullion, which is now
about $4,000 per month, to proba-
ply seven or eight times that
amount. Instead of two hundred
men, which is more than the mum
Der now employed in the mine and
mill, more than one thousand will
be thus employed, while indirectly
in furnishing timber, fuel and
other supplies, and in making the
contemplated improvements, more
than two thousand more mechanics
and laborers will be given employ
ment. This means doubling the
population of this county during
the coming year.
The estimate made by the pur
chasers of the improvements now
made, and of the timber, fuel
quicksilver and other supplies now
on hand is $425,OOO. Every dollar
OF this amount and the origina
purchase price Of the property, has
been paid for out of the mine, and
nearly all of it since the present
mill was started, less than one
year ago.
The property put in this deal
consists of the entire De Lamar and
eommercamp group of mines, with
the mill sites and water rights con.
nected with them. A large portion
OF this property has been patented
and applications for patents have
been made on the remaining por.
tons. 1t covers about four hun
dred and eighty acres of the most
extensive and richest silver belt
yet discovered in Idaho. The
many rich lodes on this mountain

one mile in width, with the Cow
creek mines on the north end and
Florida mountain with it's rich
mines on the south. The awaken
ing which has recently taken place
in discovering and realizing the
enormous value of this field has
placed Owyhee county conspicu-
ously to the front as one of the
richest mining sections of America.
The gentlemen who have made
this deal with Capt. De Lamar
have spent the the past six years
in search of mining investments,
and SO conservative have they been
that this is their second invest
ment in that time, the other one
being the Elkhorn mines of Mon
tana, the stock of which is now
reported to be selling at one hun
dred per cent above par value.
Their experts, the same sent
here, have in that time visited
nearly all the leading mining CEN
tiers in the world, and have become
noted for the bearishnes IS of their
reports.

Bismarck says: "Most of the

further demonstrations have been
made against the settlers between

are returning home. The stampede
of 500 families to. Eureka and
and other towns from the east side
of the river was caused by a woman
who saw Indians on the other side
dancing and yelling and gave the
alarm, fearing they were coming
over to massacre them. The peo-
pie are now returning"

prise | found man lying on the bed,
smoking a cob pipe; there was a bright
moon outside by this time, the sky hay
ing cleared, and as he had the shutters
open and the blinds up, the room was
quite light. 1t was the proprletor; he
was not going after his family until the
next day. The fellow was the coolest

What '.BurgOO' Is.

it that, but it's very nourishing.

The Cold Belt i'll Alaska.
From the Boston Advertiser.

Alaska is a country worth looking aft
er sharply. The Fribylotf islands are
the richest center of seal fishing in the
mare clausum that bears the name of
Behring. Five hundred miles east of
the Pribvloff Islands is the Alaskan pen
insula. A thousand miles east of the
Alaskan peninsula, and parted from 1t
bv stormy and inclement ocean, lies
the fertile and gold-bearing region
which the Canadians are anneXlng by
survey to an unknown extent. This, IN
natural wealth possibly the most valu-
able part of Alaska, seems narrow
strip on the map. But its landWard
boundary, in Decline, is as long as
Philadelphia, and it's area is greater
than that of all New England.
But the boundary of this little ST. y of
land between the mountains ant The
sea is not a bee line. 1t is a little
straighter than cOrkscreW, but not
nearly so straight as a rainbow. The
virgin SUBMITS of untrOdden mountains
are the boundary line when the ranges
lie within ten leagues OF the sea and
parallel with the coast. Whenever this
difficult guide to the surveyor is not at
hand, an exact parallel to the tortuous
windings of the coast line must be laid
out. To carry this imaginary thread
through an icy desert OF. unlnhablted
mountain forests and glaciers for dis
lance of at least 600 miles is the task for
which it is now proposed to approprl-
ate 100000. A clear title to the terri
tory in dispute must be demonstrated,
Canada surveys refuted, and the right
of American citizens to work American
gold mines established. Truly the sum
is not eXtraVa0ant

Marble Canon.
From the indianapolis Sentinel,

From the indianapolis Sentinel
We took up our march for the Colorado
River at Lees ferry, so named from John
ID. Lee, one of the destroying angels exc
cuted by the United States for com
plicity in the Mountain Meadow mas
saCre. Here we saw the most remarka-
BILE river in the world. Imagine your
self upon a broad, wide plain; you can
hear dull distant roar, yet can see
nothing save the mountains and the
waving grass. You go on and the noise
gets more distinct, until you can hear it
apparently beneath your feet, yet you
see no river Ali at once you see few
feet from you tissure, which %t first
glance looks to be scarcely twenty feet
wide. You cautiously crawl up and look
down, down, for 5000 feet. There is
the river, a white torrent, surging
against its perpendicular marble sides.
You wonder, having walked to within
fifty feet of that awful chasm without
seeing it, You look at it flowing, and
trace its course directly toward those
mountains, vet they do not stop it; it
goes through them, separating the
Buckskin from the San Francisco range,
and the small dividing line looks like
the cut of knife from the top to the
bottom. Here is where the canon
reaches its greatest depth, being little
over one mile from the top to the
water.

Brandy in Sacramental Wine.
From the London Standard.


Sacramental wine as used IN France
by the priests and provided by the yes
tries is often very poor. This, our
Paris correspondent says, is serious in Il
church like Notre Dame de Ia Garde, at
Marseilles, whore young abbes have to
get through the celebration of mass
nearly every ten minutes between Z In
the morning and noon. They COM
planned of the effect on their health of
the sour wine supplied to them and
asked their bishop, in his fatherly kind
ness, to authorize the addition of a little
brandy. He was we'll disposed to do
this, but priests around him had a the
illogical objection. Sacramento wine is
the juice ofthe grape. OF what brandy
nowadays can this be said?
The bishop laid the matter before the
Pope in these terms: ''In many parts
of France, and especially in the South,
the white wine has so little body that it
can only be kept by adding to tia certain
quantity of spirits. Is such mixture
lawful, and if it is allowed, what quanti-
ty of this liquor may be added to the
wine? Should the spirits to be added
to the wine be, as in the case of spirits
of wine and real cognac brandy. taken
fromthe juice ofthe grape?" The Pope
referred the matter to the cardinals
forming the tribunal of the inquisition,
who took the advice of the consulta and
were of this opinion: "The mixture is
lawful, provided the quantity of alcohol
added is that which might be found in
good wine and does not exceed y per
cent. The spirits should be added
when the wine is new and not to dis
guise sourness. There is nothing in
wine so treated to make it be regarded
