Jimmy, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
ard F. Stephenson, who live on Pay
cite, between Horseshoe Bend and
Mitchellis ranch, was bitten by a
snake on Friday evening, the 14th
inst. He said the snake was IN the
road and he threw rock at it when
it struck out at him, biting him on
the ankle. He said the snake was
spotted. The boy did not suffer any
pain and nothing was thought of it
until that night when the leg began
to swell and Jimmy complained OF
feeling cold. Milk poultices were
used, but the leg continued to swell.
Next morning messenger was dis
patched to Emmett for doctor. The
doctor arrived too late to do any
good, and the boy died that night
Saturday. He was in no pain at any
time, complaining only OF being cold.
The snake is supposed to have been
either water moccasin or rattler.
jimmy was nearly eight years of age
The funeral took place on Sunday
Mr.. Stevenson and family resided
on the Basin road, three miles from
this place, for number of years, and
moved to the Payette last fall.

Tie following lines were written
by tie mother Of Robert StapIeton,
who departed this life on the 14th
day OF August, 1891, at the age Of
2 years, 3 months and IL days:
''Our darling's soul has departed
from this earth for another sphere.
He was the idol of parents and friends
far and near. Oh! could there be So
lace sufficient to console the bereaved
in their loss. But such is beyond
consolation, and we must all bear our
own cross. He was little soldier
who fought in the battle of life,
creating continual gladness-never
dreaming of sorrow or future strifes.
His mind was as pure and holy as the
lamb that was slain, and his voice as
chaste and happy as heavens celes-
tial strain. May the great and good
Omnipotent lend comfort to those dis
tressed by sending them health and
patience, ever making their burdens
less, and when He calls US to His end.
less home on high take Us to dwell
with our darling in that realm beyond
the sky"

Eound Dead.
Salmon clsr Eseo. ds.. I'm.


James Hill, father OF Mrs. Delos
Simons, came to his death in tragic
manner on last Wednesday night.
He had been staying for some time
at the ranch of Mike Boyle, near this
city, and on the above mentioned
night he concluded to sleep at the
hay stack, instead of at the house.
So, taking a lantern, he made his way
to the stack, and for some unaccount-
able reason left the lantern there and
started out again, and in wandering
around fell over bank about twelve
feet in height, into dry gulley and
was killed. His body was not found
until Friday afternoon, as it was
thought he had gone 10 some of the
neighbor's houses. On Friday morn
ing the dog brought his hat to the
house and Mr.. Boyle, becoming
alarmed, sent word to this city, where
search party was organized and
started out in quest OF the missing
man. His body was found about 10(
wards north of where he had left the
lantern, and presented a horrible
sight, the eyes having been picked
out by magpies. The body wa
brought to this city and an inques
held by Dr. G. A. kenney, coroner
and the following verdict rendered b,
the jury: The deceased came Il
his death on the 9th day OF August
1891, by means of a fall from an EN-
bankmeut while temporarily insane,
The funeral services were held OF
( Saturday at P. NJ. The deceasee
was the oldest person in Lemhi coun
.ty, being 81 years of age. He va
well known aud generally respected
and his horrible death is regretted b,
all.

LEY: We were informed last even
ing by Mr.. Baldwin, one of the own
ers of Mountain Home townsite, that
negotiations for the burning of sew
eral thousand brick at this place are
now pending, and that within a short
time several large brick blocks will
be in course of erection at this place.
=. Just wait till next spring. By
that time water will be stored herea-
bouts in sufficient quantities to irri-
gate at least several thousand acres
of land adjacent to our city, and then
the transformation of our surround
ings Will begin. This sagebrush plain
will all be converted into fields of
growing grain and pastures green, fine
! farm houses will be dotted here and
there and our country will assume an
aspect that but few of our oldest and
most sanguIne inhabitants ever
dreamed of. Lee and Anderson
brought in some of the rock from the
Hidden Treasure last week which
shows free gold in great quantities.
The ledge was recently tapped at a
depth of thirty feet, by tunnel, and
there the ledge was exposed to the
extent of twenty feet of quartz, lying
between well defined walls, and vii

Messrs. Lee & Anderson are now run

tined to be one of the leading gol,

IT is reported that loggers on Pay
ette have had men employed all sum
mer killing and packing deer to their
camps. The hunters kill the deer at
the licks. 1t will be but short time
until there will be no deer in Boise
county, if the game law is not res
pected, and it will not be until viola
tors are hauled up and heavily fined.
What few deer prospectors kill
while out in the mountains when they
cannot otherwise get fresh meat does
not arouse demand for a strict en-
forcement of law, but when whole
regiment of men, who can get beef OF
other meat easily and almost as cheap
ly as they can venison, hire hunter:
to slaughter deer by wholesale al
ticks, it is time for the law to faster
on to them with its immortal cinct
and diamond hitch. Deer on Payettt
are rapidly diminishing. 1t is bac
enough for Ada county mill men tC
despoil our timber belts without al
lowing those engaged in this busines
to clean out our Dig game.

Last week Range and Valley as
serted that the construction Of reser-
yoirs at this place was an assured fact.
So it is. There will be two dams put
In this fall, one on Rattlesnake and
the other on Long Tom, just this SIDE
of Mr.. Hubble's place. The one on
Long Tom will be, when completed,
500 feet on the bottom, 100 feet on
top, 200 feet long and It's feet high.
The dam on RsttlesEake will be
240 feet at the bottom, 40 feet on
top, 80 to 60 feet high and including
wings on either side will be over f.
600 feet long.
A canal, to convey the water from
Canyon creek to Rattlesnake, is now
being surveyed, and work on the
same, together with the construction
of the two dams above mentioned,
will be commenced within the next
few days, and as it IS calculated TO
push all to completion, or at least
make them to hold sufficient water to
lrrigate several thousand acres OF
land next spring, before snow flies
this fall. A large force OF men and
teams viii be given steady employ
ment during the remainder of the
summer and fall months.
Another canal, to drain Little Cam
as Prairie, has already had one line
of survey run, bat as more feasible
route is thought to exist, another sur
vey will be made in few days
This canal will be perhaps fifteen
miles long. When the stakes are
finally driven more complete re-
port will be made of it.

Seven years ago there was not
plate glass window in the city. There
was one old tottering bridge across
the Boise that would vibrate with the
weight of a man passing over it.
There was not a three story brick
building, railroad, telegraph, tele-
phone, street car line, opera house,
capitol building electric light or any
other, save lanterns. Now there are
all Of these, the population has nearly,
if not quite, doubled, and the archi-
tectural design Of the buildings vastly
improved. A great many fine build
lngs are in course of construction,
and 1t is probable that more than 300
houses will have been constructed
during the year, at greater cost than
any equal number that could be Sc

Such has been the onward march oi

A Remarks able Discovery.
Bellevue Herald


Matt Williams was in from his Big
Camas mine this week, he having
been engaged some time in doing as
sessment work. He says that the
workmen, near the north end of the
mine, have encountered a promising
ledge of silver, crossing the big gold
bearing ledge at right angles. This,
he says, is an unparalleled thing in
mining on the Gold Belt, and he is
the pioneer man of that section, hav-
ing lovs,ed the Big Camas in the
early sixties, when he had to hide be-
hind the rocks to save his scalp from
the savages. He is greatly elated at
this remarkable discovery, and thinks
the silver ledge will prove to be Of
much value when opened up. He
will return in day or two.

Scientists Talk OF Rain.

BosToN, Sept. 9.-Professor Pickering
of Harvard university does not put faith
in the rain-makiDg experiments. He
says
81 have talked with some of the leading
meteorologists OF the country, and ! know
that they are not in sympathy with the
movement, and think that no benefit will
result from the experiments.
"I admit there is a popular belief that
great battle and other artificial atmos-
pheric disturbances produce rain, but
think that scientific research has failed to
establish this fact. am, however, open
to conviction, and shall be glad if definite
results are obtained"
Sergeant J. M. Smith, United States
signal officer here, says: 81 do believe
that, under given conditions, rain can
be produced, but l do not think this can
be put to practical uses as general thing,
for this reason: When rain is most need
ed the atmospheric pressure is high, Chat
is, the air is dry. Now, if there is no
moisture in the air you can thunder away
all you want to and no rain will fall.
"On the other hand, l think undoubt-
edly that in certain atmospheric condi-
tions rain can be made to fall. For IN.
