THE Wallace, Idaho, Free Press
says the Cuur d. Alenes have pro-
duced more value during the FIVE
years since the discovery of ore there
than any other mining district in
America at that age. The lead-sil-
yer product is estimated at $S,000,-
900, of which about s4,O00,00O were
yielded last year. Eight millions are
considered a safe estimate for this
season. 1t took Leadville, which is
often cited as the richest camp, nine
teen years to produce s10,700,000.
"We have here in the Coeur d
Aenes," says the Free Press, ''near-
ly caught up with Leadville in five
years, and were all our mines, that
are ready for shipping ore, worked,
the product would exceed that OF
Leadville even at the present time
Therefore, we can predict great flu
ture for the Ceur d'Alene, and when
we grow as old as Leadville now is
we expect to have over s200,000,00C
to our credit instead of S15S,000,00C
as Leadville now has"

The farmers of Boise valley, or the
most of them, who know no more
about placer mining and the debris
question than a monkey does about
the moral law, fear that their farms
will be covered to the depth of a
thousand feet, more or less, with de-
bris, when work is inaugurated with
the More Creek Bedrock fume.
There is one drawback to this work
that those ranchers are not aware Of,
and that is that the debris will have a
tendency to pile up at the mouth of
the hume, instead of rushing head
long to Boise river to bury the farms
of the valley. Another fact for their
consideration is that none but light
material will be put through the
fume, for the reason that bowlders
would rapidly wear it and the COM
pany would be at the expense
of constructing a new hume every
little while. Even if big bowlders
were sent through, Boise river would
never see them. They would stop at
the mouth of the fume. Material
as light as sand will stop at the
mouth of the Hume, and for this rea-
son the hume will have to be extend
ed below where the work will be
started, and then as work is extended
on up the creek, the dump will be
extended on up, also, the debris sim
ply being removed from one place to
stop at another near by. Notwith-
standing the re- working of the creek
bed the debiis will remain there as ii
always has, except what little sand is
carried down-just enough to give
the water a murky expression OF
countenance," to use picturesque
personihcation, and this muddy water
would not deposit an inch OF sand IL
the bed of the Boise in thousano
years, whether the bed of More creek
is rs-worked or not.

AN EQUINE CANNInAL.
Ketchum keystone.


In last weeks Keystone mentor
was made OF couple of horses tina,
nad wintered in the Salmon river val
ley, near Sawtooth. Since that no
tice we have learned that only one oI
the animals is living. The other one
was mare with colt, and she and
her colt were both found dead, re.
Gently, and the flesh almost entirely
stripped from their bones. Further
investigation developed the mon
strous fact that the horse had eaten
the dead carcasses of his late com
pan'ons, if, indeed, he had not killed
them himself. He was seen from q
distance feeding voraciously upon the
flesh of the colt, but he was SO wild
and savage that he would allow NO
one to go near him.
a few days ago f. G. Parks, OF
Sawtooth, having a curiosity to see
the strange spectacle of horse eat.
ing flesh, started for the range on
snowshoes, carrying with him bum
die of hay, hoping to tempt the saw
age cannibal with it, and get near
enough to him to catch him. But the
ferocious beast would not notice the
hay, but turned like flash as Mr..
Parks approached him, and with wide
open mouth sprang toward him. Mr..
Parks turned to make good his re-
treat, and the infuriated animal chas-
ed him. Had it not been that be was
very expert on snowshoes, and the
snow soft enough to make the horse
break through frequently, the horse
would certainly have injured him and
very probably killed him. Fortu-
nately he distanced the animal and
escaped uuhurt, but it was a race for
lie winch he does not care to repeat.
The horse is certainly mad, and a
dangerous creature to be running at
large. Whether he became insane
from hunger-it having been difficult
for the animals to procure feed where
they had been all winter-and killed
his companions, or whether they died
of starvation, and he, feeding on their
flesh, became insane from so doing,
as human beings do under like cir
cumstances, will probably never be
known. But the strange fact remains
that the horse now eats flesh in pref
erence to hay or grain, and could he
be captured without endangering hu-
man lives, he would be worthy of a
place among Barnum's monsters.

Long valley, via Garden valley. As
ne came in from there he told Cl.rk
he would stop at his place on his re
turn. Coming over Packer Jobn

was on a steep side hill, near SERVER

that he had slipped into the creek.
winch was raging torrent, SO he
searched, but could see no marks on
the snow. There are immense sI;dos
along there, and the creek runs un-
derneath them, and just below where
the tracks appeared to end, there
was an opening into the creek. But
there is no sign that he had missed
his footing and slipped in. Clark
says it is possible that Sisk turned TO
the right of the regularly travelled
route, at this point, and taken a ridge
that leads to Long valley, but this
route is two or three miles further.
and is route that is never travelled.
But he is sure he never went over the
regular travelled route, as his tracks
could not fail to show. If he took
this further route, the snow for a
short distance from where the track
gave out, was hard, SO that no i'm.
preston was made, but if he had gone
back over the route he came, his
tracks would have shown in places. if
not all the way. There is only one
other place, besides Clark's, that he
could have stopped at, and that is
Jarvis, two or three miles from
Clark's. Clark saw Jarvis folks be-
fore he started, but they said nothing
about Sisk stopping there.

The Bishop approached us cautious
ly, and soon took in the true inward
ness of the situation by instinct. Bish
is heavy on instructive intuition. 1t
is native gift of his and penetrates
the darkest recesses of Mystery's
tangled wilderness at glance. The
Bishop OWNED right away that we
were hungering for an item of news,
and said, with an earnest, reverential
air betokeaing serious truthfulness:
"I've got an item-a three-ply one
warranted first class, but you may not
want to publish it, as it belongs to
the Latter Day etc. addition, and you
have been somewhat opposed to the
blooming welfare of that modern re-
ligious organization. 1t is birth
triplets!" Good! we exclaimed in
great glee, hauled out sheet of pa
per, poised the pencil near the sheet
ready for action, and implored Blsh
to proceed, which he did. He said:
" My old brindle cat gave birth this
morning to trlplets-one of the kit
tens sere leaf 'yaller' or 'claybank,'
and with one pink eye and the other
beautiful strawberry roan-an un-
common pair of 'Iookers;' the second a
sort of huckleberry blue with mot
tied optics, and the third pinto with
eyes of sage brush green, and a
brindle tail. The other two have no
tails at ALL" We thanked the Bish
with great cordiality and depth of
feeling, expressed the hope that he
would be able and willing to give as
good an item every week, and then
generously offered him a chew of
tobacco, which he politely declined,
on the ground that it was "beneath
the dignity of Bishop to chaw the
weed"
