Fl. 4. Wright has taken lease
and bond on the Chickamon mine,
ave miles east Of Town, owned BY IA.
Jones and Sons. After spending 4
few days on the ground, doing sorns
prospecting, be let contract TO John
Phsrris for sinking 4x6-foot shaft
in the clear to tap the chute, which
contains some very rich gold and sill
yer ore. A good many years ago
some digging was done on the point
below where the shaft has been
started, bnt as the ground there was
broken up the vein was lost and the
mine abandoned. To satisfy himself
as to the quality Of the ore, Mr..
Wright sent seventeen pounds Of
for reduction by milling process
which gave returns of 233 ounces
silver and I.94 ounces gold. AS tha1
ore came from less than ten feet be
low the surface the yield of silvel
| is enormous. After finding ths
vein above the loose ground, Mr.
Wright located the shaft where
by sinking perpendicularly, he vii

zens who resided in Atlanta, E.

THE musical and literary enter
tainment given in Masonic Hall last
Thursday evening by the Ladies'
Auxiliary for the benefit of Rev. P.
Murphy and family, was grand sue
cess. The attendance was large and
the program we'll rendered. The
pro tenn editor of the greatest news
paper in BOISE county had just re-
turned from the Democratic County
Convention as the entertainment
opened, and was too tired to attend
which accounts for our not being able
to give review of the exercises
All who took part were frequent,
greeted with rounds of applause, ane

\ Good Chance for More Telephone,

a Good Chance for More Telephones.
. S. q. Bowen has received an an
swer from his letter to c. F. Annette
in regard to the extension of the tel
ephone lines in Boise county. The
President of the company, George
Wallace, telegraphs Mr.. Annette to
obtain written offers from interested
parties. An instrument can most
likely be obtained for use in Long
valley for s4 or So per month, and
as the line would not be an expensive
one to keep up, which, with another
telephone in Garden valley, would be
very profitable investment. The
same is the case with regard to Gam
brinus district and Banner. Besides
the investment being profitable one
those lines would prove of great ben
eft and convenience to the people o
those valleys and districts. People
interested in the extension of th'
lines should lend Mr.. Bowen all tn,
assistance in their power in securin:
the talking machines.

Christ and infamed their imaginations
with tales of horses, cattle and fire. water to
be bestowed when the Christ arrived
One night this week a bend of braves went
on the warpath almost within sight of Fort
Custer and surprised family on the Little
Big Horn. The only woman present es-
capped with her husband, while two men.

horror the mother realized the child's

The child stole softly away from

exchanged, when Mr.. Hale ordered the cab
man to proceed to the general hospital Mrs.
Cowles re-cntered the carriage and accom-
panied the party to the hospital. DR.. Kirk
patrick, the mefiical superintendent at the
hospital, had the wounded man conveyed

Winona the Scene Of Supposed In
cendiary Fire.
W1oNNA, Special Telegram.-Fire
last night Quilted the basement of McNie &
Cos. store in the postoffics block. The
dense smoke made it difficult to locate the
seat of the fire. but the firemen succeeded
in quenching the flames, no., however, un-
til most of the firemen had become pros
trated by the smoke, but all revived. The
damage to McNie & Co.'S stock is
estimated at $1,000. fully covered
by insurance. The origin of the
fire is mystery. Appearances after
the fire would indicate that it caught
around the sewer pipe box where it enters.
McNie's store had been closed about 9
O'Clock, and the gas in the rear of the store
was left burning. When the alarm was
turned in it was noticed that the gas in the
store was turned out. This gave rise to the
suspicion thst some person had entered the
store, and take. the precaution to turn out
the gas before firing the building. MI. Nc
Me intends to 1ully investigate.

A COAL FIND.
A Deposit Of Coal Found in South
Dakota, Of Good QUALITY:

Dakota, of Good Quality:
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Special Telegram
Intense excitement was caused in Chamber
lain and vicinity to-day by another find of
coal, which was made by d. w. Spalding.
clerk of the courts for Brule county, on the
reservation within a few miles of Chamber
berlain, and the samples have been on ex-
hibition in his Office in this city to-day,
hundreds of people going there to ex-
anime them. They are by long odds
of better quality than any of the previous
finds, and indicate a vein fully equa.
to the very best quality of coal ever shipped
into the country from the East. Mr.. Spal-
ding is one of the very oldest residents OF
the state has travelled over the reservation
during past years probably to greater ex.
tent than any other white man, having haG
the most absolute confidence and respect Of
the Indians, and has frequently asserted in
the past that good quality of coal existeo
in the vicinity OF this city on the reserva-
ton, and that the opening to settlement of
that tract meant the solution of the coal
question for South Dakota. The bringing in
of these samples by him proves the accuracy
of his knowledge. He states that there is
no possib BILE question as to there being a
large and paying vein: 1t is possible, how
ever, that practical mining may be deferred
until the plats for the land are placed on
record in the land office here, so that fl
ing may be had that the rights OF the for
tunate finder may be protected. One thing
is now absolutely certain-coal of good
quality exists in this vicinity, and the
prairie farmers will speedily be relieved
from the exorbitant exactions of Eastern
coal barons and railroads for supply Of
this necessity. There has been no question
as to the existence Of coal on the west side
of the river. Indications have been ire
o to oU quality an sS t ths nd ae1 avofanSiy
settles that question.

range . settlement of their affairs. To-
days meeting and tragedy ensued.
Cowles wished the interview with his wife
to be private, but Hale refused and accom-
panied them in short drive in the park.
The interview was in progress when Cowles
made movement as if to draw a revolver,
when Hale anticipated him with the result
as stated. Cowles' little daughter Florence
whom it is alleged he abducted from her
home in Cleveland, was placed by Cowles
Montreal. An order was procured from
Judge Duges to tae sisters in charge of the
convent to produce the child, but they re-
fused. The court will issue an official
mandamus tomorrow. when a guardian
will be appointed. Mr.. Hale will appear
in the police court tomorrow for an exam
ination. Mucn sympathy is EXPRESSED for
him and Mrs. Cowles, as it is believed that
Cowles intended killing both his wife and
child unless prevented by her brother.
