WASHINGTON, Dec. ls-The boom of
Mr.. Springer for the chairmanship of
Ways and Means has subsidized just IA little
within the past few days, and there is now
"A somewhat general feeling that the
speaker means what he says when he de
clares that the question of this
craftsmanship has not yet been de-
cided. IL is very well known that
Mr.. Crisp would be perfectly willing to
put Mr.. Mills at the head of the Ways and
Means Committee if the latter was will
ing TO take the place, but perhaps,
because of Mr. Milrs illness, the
Speaker had not been informed of his
wishes. In the meantime the name
of Mr.. Springer was brought forward,
and that gentleman looked So self-con-
scious when he heard it that it was at once
announced that he was the coming man.
Mr.. Springer and his friends have done
nothing TO discourage this idea. There
were indications to-day, however. that
Mr.. Mills had been put in communication
with the Speaker through the agency of
mutual friends, and that until the result
of this informal conference is known the
question of the Ways and Means Chair
manship is still an open one.

upon such of the offending South Ameri

TIMES MoUNTAIHEER:

TIMES MoUNTAINEER: Senator
Quay has emphatically denied each
and svery charge made against him
by the Democratic press, and his ac-
cusers have failed to substantiate a
single statement made against him.
He desired to resign from the Re-
publican National committee before
the election of Harrison in 1888, but
after the accusations were published
against him, he was determined to
live them down before he severed his
connection with the committee. This
he has done and he now resigns his
position. The morsel of political
scandal which Democrats mauncheo

NEW FORAGE PLANT.

The Department of Agriculture,
through it's many experimental sta
tions, has been testing the relative
value of grasses in an endeavor to
fin6 one that will exist and flourish
in localities which suffer from mini
mum of rainfall.
Such a grass is believed to have
been discovered in the bronze grass
or the Bromus Inermis of botany
1t Is not certain where this forage
plant originated, but it is known that
for the past thirty years 1t has been
cultivated in Austria and Hungary
and in the hot, arid sections of south
ern Europe, with success that per-
mits the strongest hopes Of its sue
cessful introduction west of the Mis-
sissippi.
Two years ago Assistant Secretary
Willis sent to Austria and secured q
quantity of the seed of the bronze
grass, which was sown at the Garden
City experiment stations in Kansas
The result that year, which was dry
one. was beyond all expectations
Last year the twelve varieties of ma
tive grasses were sown alongside The
bronze. Owing to the drouth onl,
two of these survived.
The bronze grass grew luxuriantl,
and surpassed the two native grasse
hundred fold. Enough seed wa
gathered to enable the department t
plant an extensive area this year an
its success as pasturage in deser
) will doubtless be proven. The bene
. fit of such a forage crop to the We:
- is incalculable.
The department estimates that two
Is thirds of the vast territory betwee
the Mississippi and the Rocky Nous
tain is arid. Irrigation is impraeti'
able in many places, because of th
enormous expense, and it began
y look as though much of this regio
J. would continue to be marked on tt
$, school book maps as the "Great Ams
is lean Desert"
1t The success of this hardy, thrift
E. forage plant will be great benefit
s the agriculturist. 1t is also believe
Or that the cultivation necessary to sta
,s this grass and the green moist su
re- face it will present, will have te
dency to create a moist atmosphe
and increase the rainfall, so that OF

A New Invention.


P. Marley has been granted pat
ent for an improved ore furnace. 1t
is dated July 21st, and was received
on the 9th of the same mouth. The
object of the invention is to provide
apparatus for treating refractory ores,
whereby the gold and silver can be
thoroughly and cheaply separated
from the base metals, the former by
gradually applied heat and the latter
by the use of small quantity of salt.
The ores are worked either wet or
dry. Drawings and complete de-
scription of the process accompany
the patent. MIR. Marley, who has had
years of experience in roasting ores
is we'll assured that his invention will
do all he claims for it, and that golc
and silver rock of low grades can bs
worked closer and with greater prof
than ever before. 1t is a valuabl,
invention and will be hailed with jo,
by miners everywhere. Attorney
General Roberts and j. II. Richard
of this city are the associates of Mr.
Marley in the invention, and the com
pany will work their furnace agains
any other in existence.

DEMocRAr: Jesus Golinda, one of
Boise's Mexican residents, was born
u'.der lucky star. At least he has
had more good luck than bad. Sew
erai months since he met with fall
which sprung one of his knee caps
out of place, shifting it above the
joint. He was confined at home for
weeks, suffering intensely, and when
he did get out again his leg was stiff
and he walked with cane. 1t look
cd to him as though he was almost
helpless cripple for life; and while
brooding over his misfortune, he con-
cluded to return to his old home at
Guaymas, Mexico, and he went,
reaching it by rail two days from San
Francisco. Forty-four years had
passed since he left there, but many
relatives still lived to greet him and
make his visit pleasant. During his
stay he let Mexican doctor have a
go at his injured leg. The doctor
pressed the cap down to place and he
was no longer cripple, although the
operation was painful. He got back
to Boise with his leg as good as new,
or at least it will become 80. That
was a streak OF good luck. But up
on his arrival he discovered that he
had been robbed of his horses, wag-
on, and about all the rest of his world
" possessions. That was a stratum
of bad luck. But then again he also
found that his wife had, four days be-
fore he returned, skipped out by the
moons pale rays with another man.
"That," said the delighted Jesus Go
linda, as he gleefuIly rubbed his
hands, "was good, very good; best ol
all, for it more than pays me for al
my misfortunes;" and the happy
Mexican danced jigamaree.

Sad Accident.

Last Saturday evening about q
o'clock Olaf Raaen left Placerville for
Star Ranch, riding young horse.
Near Star Ranch, two miles from
Placerville, he fell in with one of the
Peterson boys, who was also on horse
back. The horses started on a run.
Raaen's horse ran over a COW that
was crossing the road, and COW, horse
and rider went down. Raaen was
fatally injured, and unconscious when
picked up. He never regained con-
sciousness, and died that night at !
O'Clock. He was unable to guide the
horse quick enough to avoid the acct
dent, having hackamore instead OF
bride. Even with bride he
would probably not have been able
to have avoided the accident, as i
was only an instant from the time the
COW jumped into the road until al
three were down. The young maj
has brother, Ole, living at Quartz
bug, and employed in the Pionee
mine, also father, mother, thre'
brothers and sister in Norway. HI
has been in Placerville about year
He was IN his nineteenth year, and

ThrowIng = wall Around tho Devils.
weiser Signal.

Parties who have recently come in
from the Seven Devils mines report
a very unsatisfactory condition of af-
fairs. In fact nothing to speak Of is
being done in the mines. The only
work now going on is on the Bodis.
The owners are putting down shaft.
No mineral is being produced, and 50
far as any profitable or practicable re-
suits the immense deposit is as use-
less as it was the day nature heaved
the mass Of silver and copper ore to
the surface. The owners of the
Standard have done considerable
work this season and the present in
dIcations are that the mine will rank
among the best. In fact everything
looks well enough for the future, but
is at present discouraging. Some
thing may be done in the way of buy
ing and selling properties this year,
but no active mining work will be
commenced. The owners of the
South Peacock will sink their shaft
100 feet. The failure of the contrac-
tors to build the Snake river wagon
road has had demoralizlng effect on
everyone, and has caused financial
loss in many instances. In fact the
whole scheme of ste amboat, road and
everything connected with it has had
an uncanny look from the first. Ex-
perts who have been looking over the
Seven Devils country feel confident
and even certain that immense bod
les of ore in assures exist, and won
der that no attempt has been made tc
get at them. The deepest shaft in
the whole country is only sixty-ive
feet, on the South Peacock. The
wealthy owners of the Old Peacock
Blue Jacket, and various other noted
properties, do not seem inclined to dt
anything. The reported sale has no
changed the condition IN the least
and it begins to look to man up I
tree as though these parties were re
ceiving inducements to keep th'
country back instead of developing il
Well, as business proposition it ma.
be good one, for if the mines of tn
Seven Devils district were worked t.
fourth their capacity the Hecla
