Statesman Tuesday afternoon q
fourteen-year- lad named James
Percy, son of Mr.. E. Percy of the
Upper Boise Valley, was out in the
hills about twelve miles above the
city on horseback and in search OF
some deer which a party of hunters
from the city had killed. A man
named Silas Sandin was with the
lad, but the two separated in the
hills, after which Percy's horse
threw him dnd ran of. Percy lay
on the ground some time, stunned
by the fall and being unable to make
his way home, remained where he
was until relief came in the person
of Mrs. Oliver Call, who being at
home alone and hearing of the ac-
cident, started on horseback at 10
o'clock at night in search of him.
She found the poor boy in the con-
dition described and took him to
her house several miles distant. On
reaching home it was found that
Percy had both feet so badly frozen
that his physician says amputation
may be necessary. The act of Mrs.
Call in going alone to the rescue of
the unfortunate lad at the hour
named and through the cold, was
that of genuine western heroine,
and it will be affectionately remem-
bered to her honor.-Mr. J. O.
Corder, who resides on Indian creek,
twenty miles southeast of this city
on the Overland stage road, was in
the city yesterday. "Obe" says that
the new mining district on Wood
Creek, near Blacks station, has not
been exaggerated nor is it likely to
be. Several parties are passing the
winter in the district, which has
been called Neil's district, in honor
of Mr.. Arthur Neil, the discoverer
Of course, many people will be in
credulous and take whatever may
be said with many grains of allow
ance, but the prediction is here haz-
arded that the opening days of
spring will clear away all doubts
and bring to light one of the most
important discoveries made for
many years.-During the past
week the Boise City National Bank
received from the DeLamar mine
$27 900 bullion, and $4,000 in ore
from the Gilmore Company, Rocky
Bar, 81 800 bullion, and from other
sources $500. Making total for
the week of $4,000.

ting depredations upon the whites.
They are party under the direc-
ton of Medicine Jim.-David
Doud, aged about sixty years, died
at the residence of VIM. Paxton of
pneumonia on Friday morning last.
The deceased came to the Boise Ba-
sin in the year 1862 with the first
rush of the gold seekers. Previous
to that time he had been one of the
gold-diggers of California. He fol-
lowed the same business here for a
time and has worked at various oc-
equations from time to time. He
had come to the city to winter but
having caught the prevailing pneu-
monia became numbered with its
victims. One by one Of the old
settlers are passing away. Yet a
few years and the places that knew
them will know them no more.
