Idaho sure or Statehood.
Thursday Major Cavanah, Chair
man Of the Board Of County Com
missioners, received a short but very
interesting letter from Judge Weir,
which he kindly allows the BuLLE-
TIN to print in full. II reads as
follows:
wAsHIxoros, ID. c. Feb. 8, 1890.
Hon. +. p. Cavanah, Chm. Board
Commissioners.
Dear Sir IL reached here in time
to assist Mr.. jerks in a thorough
preparation Of the division cases.
They have been argued and the judg-
ment Of the Supreme Court OF Idaho
will be affirmed beyond doubt. Al
though no formal opinion has been
announced. yet the iniimations OF the
Judges during the oral argument were
equivalent 10 an affirmance of the
judgments. These were so strong
that the counsel on the other side
gave M the fight.
The Idaho test oath was declared
legal by the Supreme Court in an
opinion delivered Monday last. This
opens the way for admission, which
feel quite sure will be done by Con
gress during this session.
Respectfully yours.
III. w. WEIR.

THE FRANKLIN SALE.

Recent reports are to the effect
that the sale of the Franklin mine,
at Pine Grove, to eastern capitalists
is almost an assured fact. The
death, short time ago, of one of
the syndicate delayed the transfer
of this pr, erty--otherwise the sale
would have been effected before this
time. The property is bonded at
100000 and will be a cash deal.
The Franklin is a splendid mine,
and when it passes into the hands
of men who are pecuniarily able to
work it properly then indeed will
Pine Grove boom us it should.

A correspondent Of the Avalanche,
writes ~ follows from Bruneau:
The general health Of the valley
il good, ia grippe" having not, as
yet put in an appearance. Two
fine frame dwelling houses were
erected in the Valley last fall. our
worthy County Commissioner. ]. III.
Black, having erected one, and S. A.
Robertson the other. Both are nice,
two-story buildings, and reflect
credit ON the owners. Mr.. j. s.
Robertson, are erecting fine, large
barn, which, when completed, will
stable very comfortably a large
number Of horses and cattle.
Settlers have been coming into
the Valley and taking up lands and
building cabins, until there is
scarcely a spot in the Bruneau val
ley that is not occupied. Many
new Corners have had to move else
where for the winter, there being no
spare houses TO occupy.
The Snake River Ditch Company
have finally, under the supervision
Of Superintendent Wing, frightened
their dam, and now have the water
of the Bruneau running over and
through their waste gates. The
dam backs the water for about two
and one-half miles, covering about
20 acres ofthe lower end of Schenck's
ranch, and affording beautiful
lake for the young people to boat
ride, and make love one TO tn,
other. Schenck says that it wal
probably for this special purpos,
that they have backed the water OF
his ranch, and | have no doubt tina
if the old man is watched, he will
be found some beautiful moonligh
night in boat with a girl by hi
side, whispering the sweet accents o
love into her sun-burnt ear. TIL
Snake River Company now hav'
six men employed in constructing
a ditch on the south side of tn
river.

An exchange says: Did you
ever stop to think what a tireless
letter writer a good local paper is2
Week after week, reaching into
year after year, it goes on telling
of the marriages, births, deaths, and
the coming and going of the people
of our town, business success or
failure, accidents, crops improve
ments, meetings, in fact events of
all kinds. All is a grist that comes
to the hopper of a good local paper.
Why if you were to undertake to
write a letter every week to your
absent friend and tell half the news
that your local paper gives, you
would soon give up in despair. The
supposed pleasure would become
tiresome, and the letters grow
shorter, farther apart, and finally
quit. Why the difference? Be
cause, with a newspaper, it's busi-
ness. People in live town recog-
nize this and take pleasure in Civ
ing the editor news itenS you
would never learn.
Not long since at Philadelphia,
during confirmation services a
young man named David Alex
ander in the congregation arose and
deliberately took shot at Bishop
Whitaker, but fortunately without
effect. It is learned Alexander is
an ardent Prohibitionist and Bishop
/ Whitaker's attitude on the liquor
question having displeased him, he
determined to kill him. lie re-
signed his position in a dry goods
store last week. The prisoner
stated that he had also determined
to remove Mcconnell, pastor oI
ST. Stephens Episcopal church
whose attitude on the liquor ques
ton was also distasteful to him.

IT WOULD PAY.

From away down in New Jersey
comes letter to the BULLETIN man
from railroad magnate inquring
about a feasible route for the
building of a railroad from some
point on the o. s. L. to Rocky Bar,
etc. The gentleman should come
here himself, go over the ground
and doubtless he would soon be
convinced Of not only the feasibility
of such a project but also the inn
mense profits to be derived. A
railroad starting at Boise City, and
following the course of the South
Boise river, touching Little Camas
prairie, Pine Grove, Junction Bar
(eight miles from Rocky Bar and
the nearest practicable railroad
point to the county seat of Elmore)
thence up the river and through the
Smoky creek mines or Big Camas
prairie, he ''Gold Belt" down TO
HALEY, and from thence to Corinne,
point on the Central Pacific,
would pass through a stretch OF
country about 200 miles in length
that is unsurpassed in the world for
its grandeur of scenery, its rich
mines, its vast and valuable pine
forests, and its productive agricul-
tural lands.
We hope the gentleman, as he
intimates in his letter, will come
out this spring, take view of the
route and commence operations.

FINE GROVE.

To iva ryMFre;
THE time for bright and happy

close at hand. Everybody il
cheerful and pleasant Consider
able snow yet, but settling fast, and
all interested in prospects as well
as those Of wei. developed mines
will resume work in full blast ere
long.
The new tunnel in the Franklin
mine, tapping the vein at depth Of
800 feet, will he completed in early
spring, and from all indications a
fine body Of high grade ore will be
developed.
IL is quite evident that the Pine
Grove Company will soon com
mence operations again. The grea-
amount Of snow fall caused consid,
cradle inconvenience in getting about,
which however will soon be over
come by the fast settling of snow
The running Of another TUNNEL a
couple Of hundred feet below the
second level is quite probable
in the Gold Hill mine, this project
being in view last fall, and will un.
doubtedly be carried out in early
spring. Immense bodies of good

of tons of good ore on the dump BY

Mr.. Donnahue and partner hav,
also done considerable work on thei
claims, situated north Of the Mt
View mine, and are making good
showing.
ii. l.. Alberson and G. w. Smitl
will soon commence operations Oh
their property, near the Maud mine
which shows well and very ricl

/ 1t is quite evident that the Vic
tory mine here is leased to Re,
Warrior parties, and they will un
doubtedly soon commence opera
tons in this mine. II is fin
property, which has been satisfac
torily proven by mill test of ore
and large bodies of good ore ar
now in sight.
Oliver Sloan and Chris. Engle
man, on South Boise, few mile
below the mouth of Fall creek, ar
working some very rich place

Walter Scott and n. ]. Bogar
have been working their place
diggings steadily throughout tn
winter and are laying up tn
precious metal far better than eS

in 1888, and found to be rich, ar
