1t would indeed be poor mining section
mat didn't have some hopes the following
spring Tor better times. And this part of
Wood River has some prospects for re-
vival of business. We are apxiouslv
awaiting some developments with the
Queen Of the Hills, and the Relief and Min
ME Moore sales. These have been re-
ported sold SO many times that it is becom-
Ing the modest Of ehestnuts. The cooler
headed OF our people take no stock in such
rumors, and when the whistles toot. the
ore wagons plod our streets, the miners
set out with their dinner buckets, and q
Few other such necessary habits are gone
through with, then the community in gen
eral will srnile, be happy and have a good
word for the future.
But while these silent mighty giants, as
1t were, are doing very little, or nothing
out creating rumors, we have several
smaller ones that are doing much work,
out causing no talk. In this line we call
TO mind the Modoc Chief, stocked in Salt
Lake city, and superintended by j. c. Gun
nlngham, OF Broadford. The Mudoc Ia
working nine men and sacking fair ore on
very shift. This mine is south of the
l.ilnnie Moore, in the next gulch, and two
niles from Bellevue.
lac Comstock, close by. is prospect Of
splendid hopes. The TWO Henrys-Heury
Warren and Henry AlIison-are running a
tunnel and ought to be in the ore vein by
this time.
The Hash mine, four or five miles south
of Bellevue east of the railroad, is LOOKING
nicely, and the leasers are pushing devel-
opment work and taking out ore.
There are only three Of the smaller claims
that are doing good work. There are many
others that will make a readable letter in
the future.
LOGAN CoUNTY's DISTRICT COURT.
The fall term of our district court will
open November II. Under the last session
laws the calling of grand Jury rests with
the Judge and county commissioners. For
some unknown reason Logan county ia not
to have grand jury this coming term. The
county commissioners and the judge seem
to be unanimous in the opinion that such a
body is unnecessary this term. Judge
Stockslayer Las therefore only issued an
order Tor trial jurors, and the following
names have been drawn from the box: II.
;. Hoffses, w. h. Gusler, V. Y. Hall, Gus
Wanlgemuth, j. M. Pettigrew, w. Nj. MIC
Wade, J. K. Sturgis, Charles F. Hartman,
G: b. Pettus, David Davis, o. P. Johnson,
William Sowden, j. l.. Zimmerman. George
H. Abbott, A. l.. Davis.
Clerk George reports quite list of cases
for the calendar, but many are ones that
can be disposed Of possibly on motion.
The criminal docket will be only of two
cases continued from the last term-State
VS.. Finch and State VS.. Griffin.
COUNTY ITEMS.
nIal
his steel cage. John Owens, who played
the razor act on railroad shop man at
Shoshone last week, and carved him Sc
verely but not dangerously. Robert
Burns was the cuttee, and it is said he re-
sembled poorly carved steer when Owens
got through with hun. Owens had his ex-
animation under Justice Hill, aud is now
In Jail because he couldn't get s., 900 bonds.
The other boarder of Campbelrs is
Thomas G. Napier, a waiter, who looked
better in Frank Holtz' clothes than his
own. and Of course took them. Napier is
now being waited on by Jack, VINO never
calls off bill OF fare, so Napier complains.
Elk Congressman John Haley has been
appointed legal adviser of the board Of
county commissioners, at a salary of $50
per month. Mr.. HALEY has already found
successful labors in his new field. His
nrst case was in the prosecution of Napier,
clothes and took up tour Of the state in his
new garb. Napier landed in Boise and last
week Sheriff Campbell also landed in Boise,
out on Nepier's neck, and the secondhand
Clothes dealer now rests with four mon Tn s
and S2G0 fine against his name. Mr..
Halley's next case was in local criminal
case. He is proving lively old man at
the bar
The commissioners were on a trip of in
aln VI hi
Ing after roads and bridges in general, aud
the proposed Mslal bridge in particular.
They were out four days, and the southern
part OF Logan will reap many benefits from
this trip
The probate Judge contest of Hampton
vs. Dllley will come up in our court mex t
month. Hampton has prosecuted Dlley's
title so closely-but he has met with bad
luck every time, by the way-that Dilley
jast week threatened to resign and turn
over the whole business to Hampton. But
like Judge Lennon, Of Alturss, Dilley NAV
be expected to hold the fort until next cleo
tlon, and we think this is what he should
do.
