The Company own 5000 feet of
placer ground in Robinson Canyon,
commencing AT the mouth of the
canyon and running 5000 feet along
its course TO the Joanna mine. They
have sunk two shafts-one about 900
feet from the mouth of the canyon,
and at depth of 45 feet find large
quantities Of black sand, with good
prospects of fine gold, and have not
reached bedrock. Shaft No. is about
5000 feet from the mouth of the
canyon and the rim rock was struck
at a depth of 30 feet. This prospects
we'll in coarse gold and is getting
richer as depth is attained on the rim
rock. Several pans taken out OF the
incline going as high as 80 cents to
the pan-the gravel averaging about
cents to the pan-leaving no doubt
that the channel is rich. Some pieces
on the rim rock weighed as high as
Is cents. The company IS going to
start several other shafts to thoroughly
prospect their ground, and have every
confidence of finding placers that will
rival the richest spots in California in
the palmiest days.
The recent storms and heavy snow
have retarded prospecting, but the
company has determined to have
things in shape to take advantage of
the spring tbaws, and will sluice
enough dirt to prove beyond doubt
that the ground is a dividend-paying
investment.
The names of the officers for the
ensuing six months are as follows;

The Guyer Springs.

Mr.. Stewart has the Springs in ex-
cellent shape considering the short
time he has had to prepare for the
seasons business. Many details
that would escape hasty survey of
the premises have been looked to
by Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart, whose in
genuity turns to account many ap-
parently useless articles and spots
about the premises. Everything is
in apple pie order" and we wish
to remark thet when the writer Wis
tied the place last Sunday he found
the water in the big plunge baths
just right" Mr.. Stewart insists
that he will keep it so-whieh is a
good deal. The surroundings and
general appearance of the springs
are very attractive since the green
grass and foliage have appeared,
and fortunately enough the foot
bridge and hot water flume have
thus far been held intact, despite
the ravishing torrents of Warm
Springs creek. The grounds are
not yet flooded but present beauti-
full green expanse of bluegrass and
blossoms shaded by stately cotton
wood trees.

Drowned in South Boise.

A telephone dispatch to this place
yesterday morning brought the in
formation that w. H. McKim, Su-
perintendent Of the Bonapart mine
at Rocky Bar, was drowned in the
treacherous waters of the South
Boise, on Tuesday, while attempt
ing to cross the river near Junction
Bar. The particulars briefly stated
are that Mckim was crossing the
river on small ferry boat. As he
neared the shore the boat by some
means became fast, and he under
took to leap to the shore, but fell
back in the water, and that was the
last that was seen of him. The
body has not been found.-Idaho
Mail.
BILLY" McKim, as he was famil-
iarly called by his acquaintance,
was a man about as years of age.
He has been in Idaho for twenty
years or more. For the last six
years he has been Superintendent
of the Bonapart mine, and had
lately made arrangements with the
eastern stockholders to resume work
on that property this year. He
leaves a wife and little child about
three years old. Another of FL
more's good men gone.

Going Under the Cement.

It will be seen by letter from the
mouth of More creek that Kinball,
Rudge and Sandlin, at the junction
of Middle and North Boise, have
struck rich placer ground under
meath the ''false bedrock" The dirt
yields from 25 to so cents to the
pan. The sedamentary formation
is only three or four feet thick, still
the fact is proven that on those
streams the first wash carried down
the most gold. The theory of most
or the miners here is that the rich
est ground in More and Elk creeks
is below the sedimentary formation,
having come in with the first wash.
Whether or not such is the fact can
only be proven by a shaft, which
would have to be sunk to a great
depth. In 1870 one was sunk to
the depth of 1913 feet at the junction
of the two creeks, but the water
came in so rapidly that a 1O-horse
power engine was unable to keep it
out, and the work was necessarily
abandoned. To put down a shaft
with certainty of proving whether
the lower stratum of gravel is good
it will be necessary to put in pumps
capable of throwing a large volume
of water. This will require consid-
cradle capital, yet it would be bet
ter to spend more money and be
certain of reaching the granite bed
rock. Some day this work will be
done, and with good chances of
opening up rich placer ground. One
favorable indication here is that
where the granite dips under the
cement gold lays on it as far as has
ever been prospected.-I dahoW orld.

News from SaWtooth.

Late advices from the 'old gran
lite camp" say that the salmon
eaters are jubilant over the feast
Of salmon-trout which have at last
made their appearance in their ia
miliar haunts in the upper Salmon
river. The dam at Clayton which
has prevented the fish from ascend
ing the river early in the spring as
they have always done in previous
years, was carried out by the high
water on the 4th instant, and on
the 18th the fish made their appear
ance near Sawtooth, much to the
delight of those whose bill Of fare
had become unusually meagre on
account Of impossible roads and
delayed supplies. Frank Parks
captured one enormous salmon
trout weighing IA pounds. Seven
teen fine ones were taken at one
time. The salmon-trout are fol-
lowed by immense numbers of bull
trout, suckers and white fish, SO
there will be no lack of fine sport
for fishermen this season. The road
is being rapidly put in good repair
and light rigs can easily reach Ca
lena now, and pack trains can in q
few days cross the divide to Saw
tooth.

The Troublesome Water Question.

The Shoshone Journal of the 18th
inst. says that a shooting affray
occurred last week in the vicinity
of Shoshone Falls between 0. +.
Johnson, C. S. Thompson and a
man named Barney. The Journal
says there are two different reports
as to the cause of the ARRAY. One
version is as follows:
It seems az if Mrs. Tucker daughter
of 0. P. johnson, owned q tract of land
over which Thompson claimed the right
to construct ditch to convey water to his
(Thompson's) land. Thompson claimed
to have had authority from Dixie Tucker,
husband and agent of Mrs. Tucker. This
Johnson denied, and according to Thomp
sons own statement, johnson IN company
with Mr.. Barney came to the place on
Mrs. fuckers land where he was con-
structing the ditch and uttered threats
against him, which resulted in change
of pistol shots between him on the one
side and Johnson and Barney on the
other. About fifteen shots were fired but
none took effect Johnson and ThOmp
son began firing at about the same time.
Another version of the affair is that only
two parties were implicated and that
Thompson was the aggressor.
All the parties implicated in the
shooing scrape have been arrested.
Thompson is we'll known in ketch-
UNI, having lived at one time at the
Elkhorn camp.

Around the World.

George Francis Train passed
through Shoshone on the west
bound fast mail train of the Union
Pacific, yesterday morning, at a
lively pace for Tacoma, Washing
ton, upon reaching which place,
providing no delay is sustained by
that train as scheduled, Mr.. Train
will have made the fastest similar
trip on record by encircling this
earth in the almost incredulously
short time of sixty-four days! This
is certainly a wonderful achieve
ment. The people of Tacoma started
Mr.. Train out upon this expert
ment last March; at that time ex-
citing considerable interest among
news readers, yet nuch less than
the grand success of his journey
will cause. Every aid has been
given the gentleman by railway and
steamship lines, and prominent
among the former is the Union Pa
cific and Northwestern lines, to
whom is due a share of the glory
of his wonderful trip. Jules Verns'
drama, gotten up on the novel plot
of travelling around the world in
eighty days." won much of the
authors fame for him, and the idea
of making the trip in that short
period of time was wondered at
until quite recently. The record
was lowered by Nellie BLY, last win
ter but now poor Nellie's nose is
knocked out of joint by the vic
tory of George Francis.

TA Lead Victory.

i Gov. Shoup received telegram
from Delegate Dubois yesterday,
says the Statesman of the Goth
inst, which contained the following
cheering words: I'VE have just won
the lead fight in the House by a
handsome majority" This means
millions of dollars to Idaho and
assured prosperity to a large class
OF mine owners whose prosperity
would have been nearly valueless
had the advocates of free lead"
succeeded in their schemes. The
tariff bill, as it has now passed the
House, provides that all ores con-
tanning lead, whether that metal is
alone or combined, in whatever
proportions, with silver or other
metals, shall be taxed one and a
half Gets per pound when imported
into the United States from other
countries.
After a hard fight on Monday the
House defeated the proposed one
half cent per pound tariff amend
ment by a vote Of 1872 to 1O1.
Crane of Texas offered an amend
ment authorizing the president to
suspend operation of the duty on
lead ore so far as Mexico is con-
cerned, whenever that country abol-
ishes its laws retaliating against
our lead duty. This was defeated.
On vote being taken 1872 voted
for the tariff and 10 against it.
There is every assurance that the
senate will retain the lead section
in the bill.
When Senator Teller first learned
the action of the House he said
''That settles the struggle. We will
take care of the Senate. The min
ing interests rests secure"
The effect of this victory will |
soon be felt by every industry in the
lead producing regions and Idaho,
in particular, much of whose future
condition has hung upon the thread
of this action by our national leg
islature, has especial reason to re-
joice.
