the street cars are in a fair way to
become public nuisances. The limbs
and lives of citizens must be protected
from the recklessness of the motor
men of the electric cars, either by the
law, or by a resort to the "shot gun

an ordinance to prevent collisions on
the lines crossing other lines, and to
punish motor men guilty ofreck lessly

Sweet in the Muddy group OF mines.
at Grimes Pass, who came out from
Boston short time ago, started on
his return home the other day. Mr..
Kelly is very we'll pleased with the
property. He is a practical mining
man. The company has decided to
run a 1900 foot tunnel, on the Pay
cite side of the mountain, to tap the
mines 600 feet in depth. One OF
these claims has been developed to
the depth of 228 feet. The ledge is
large, and all pay ore. A crushing
was made in Whitney's mill this sum-
mer to test the value of the rock
The company has three locations on
this ledge, and all show equally as
we'll on the surface as the one devel-
oped. The vein carries free-milline
gold ore. The company has fine To-
cation for mill, on Payette, shor

BOISE CITY, Sept. 2, 1891.
EDITOR IDAHO WoRLD:-The sys-
tenn of our street railway is not as yet
perfect, but will soon be. The pow
er is good, and the rails and bed of
the road are most excellent. We
had on two occasions the pleasure of
riding from one end to the other, and
it was as pleasant ride as any one
could wish. We have had many a
ride on the street cars of Baker City,
Portland and Walla Walla, and pro-
fess to be some judge of the value of
good ride. All the fault we have
to find with the Boise City street cars
is, they are too short and will not seat
over twenty passengers at one time
unless they are very much crowded.

The Statesman AYERS that Boise
City does not oppose any wagon road
that would draw trade to the Basin.
1t is fact, known to every old timer
of this place, that Boise City has a.
ways arose in some sort Of opposition
to any road from this place to the
interior districts of Idaho, or has in
no way shown . disposition to aid
such roads, and that, too, when it
was plain that the capital would de-
rive the greatest benefits. The peo-
pie here remember very we'll that
when Idaho City was agitating the
question Of q road to Atlanta, Boise
City woke up and made a desperate,
but futile, effort to get a road up
Boise river to draw all the trade to
Boise. The road bill, introduced in
the Council of the Territorial Legis-
lature many years ago by Hon. Jo-
seph Travis, and which passed the
Council by two thirds vote, but
failed in the House, was not q meas
ure that Boise took very kindly to.
This road was to run from Banner,
and of course the travel would be
through Idaho City. The bill before
the Legislature last winter for State
road from Banner to the North did
not arouse the enthusiasm of Boise in
its favor. Boise favors no road to
Deadwood Basin that will cause trav-
ell through here. Again, Boise City
tried to induce the Silver Mountain
company to run their road up Boise
river, so as to give this place the CO.
by. Of course the Statesman said it
would be good idea to build road
from Banner to Deadwood, but in
the next paragraph suggests "a much
better route "-one that will avoid
the Basin altogether. The people OF
this section have been hostile toward
Boise City for great many years
far more SO than the WoRLD has been
and for the reason stated. Furth.
ermnre, nothing but actual demon.
stration can convince them that Boise
has changed her tactics in the least
1t is to the interest both of Boise City
and the Basin to pull together ant
build q road to Deadwood and Sheer
Mountain. 1t would be better if the
State would construct road through
to North Idaho, but what action thu
next Legislature will take is matte
of great uncertainty. A road ough
to be put through to Deadwood ans
Sheep Mountain by all means. Ever
if the route via of this place ant
Banner-the only practicable route
should be selected, Boise City will
get the cream of the trade. Thi
place does not expect much, but wha
, it gets will be help, and remember
to,, that what helps Idaho City ais
helps Boise. The Basin, including
of couse this town, has been the CAP
ital's best feeder. The Basins gol
: and silver shekels have built Boise
large proportions and continue
e contribute somewhat to her prosper
+ ity.

The general expression among the ma
