The New Town of WestIake ~

Judge w M. Rice is doing good bus.
mess at his store on Mason prairie, in
this county near the Nez Perce county
boundary line. He has under fence a
section of the finest land on the mount
ain, and he intends by and by to plat a
town site thereon, which will be called
"Westlake," which was Mrs. Rice's
maiden name. There is belt of ex-
tremely rich country in that neighbor-
hood that has been settled upon with
surprising rapidity in the last two years.
and local trading point is at once a
convenience and necessity. There is
country enough on Craig's mountain to
support half dozen good towns, and we
therefore feel confident in predicting a
sturdy growth and prosperous future
for Idaho county's infant town of
Westl4ke.

Warrens is Coming to the Front.


Pony Smead gave us much informa-
tion while he was out about the active
development of the quartz mines ol
Warrens camp. He also brought us a
chunk of very rich ore from the Luck y
Ben mine. on Steamboat creek, owned
by b. B. Day and Jay A. Czvzick. The
claim has been pretty well developed ol
late and from the way il looks now il
promises to make as good mine as
there is in the camp. The owners are
going to ship lot OF ore to Omaha, and
if it is only half as good as the piece
they sent us, it will pay big. Day is
building a fine cabin on the claim and
will live there with his family, so we
infer that he is satisfied he has a good
thing and proposes to stay right with it.
A good mine is like good wife, one is
enough for any body. and a man loses
nothing by giving it his undivided at
tention. The owners are negotiating
for the purchase of the Bemis arrastra.
Gov Willey's mill has been removed
from Steamboat creek to the Knott
mine and made good run while the
water lasted. The mine looms up we'll
with four foot ledge of forty dollar ore.
The Mayhower people have made a run
with their mill on Mayflower rock, and
have besides 800 tons of ore to crush
rom the Bonalza niue. Il claim owned

The $1,000 Damage Suit Again Dismissed.

We hear that when the case of W. E..
W arden vs. Witt, ct al, was called for
trial in district court at Moscow last
week, the judge threw the case out of
court almost Immediately. Ifthis is 80
then plaintiff will have to appeal to the
supreme court of the state to obtain
a new hearing. This may be done,
unless his attorneys gracefully yield and
throw up the sponge.
LATER Phil Ceary returned last eve
from Moscow. VIII ere he, as one of the
defendents, has been watching the
case, and confirms the above report.
The case goes to the supreme court to
appeal from the decision of the Judge of
the district court. AS we understand it.
II the supreme court sustains the deci-
sion of the district court, that winds up
the case for good; but if the contrary
happens, then the county is made the
defendant, and Witt, Jones and Cleary
are released from further respon siblity.
Judge Logan fred it out of court in
the year eighteen hundred and somety
something, and as there are big contin-
gent fees depending on it. the case will
probably be pushed for all it is worth.
When Mr.. Forney returns we will pub
lish a complete synopsis Of the case.
