THE bill organizing the counties
of Alta and Lincoln out Of the ter
ritory formerly comprised in Altu-
ras and Logan counties has become
law, and we are now living in Alta
county. The constitutionality of
the bill is disputed, and should any
one feel sufficient interest to test it,
an expensive law suit will probably
be the first outcome of the bill. But
we think the wisdom and good
policy of the measure are beyond
dispute also the authority Of the
legislature to organize the new coun-
ties and define their boundaries.
As to the power Of the Legislature
to permanently locate the county
seat well-informed persons may diff
fer; but should the courts decide
adversely to that proposition, we
do not understand that the decision
would necessarily invalidate the
law organising the new counties.
1t would necessitate the calling of
an election for the purpose of estab-
fishing county-seats for the new
counties; but the courts would
hardly presume to undo what had
been we'll done because Of techni-
cal error only incidentally affecting
the great purpose of the Legislature
in framing the law.

4 Hard Tramp.

Last Sunday, during the raging
snow storm, James Furey, Harry
Nichols, D.. A. Smith, s. NJ. Blair
and VIM. Walker, who were working
at the Red Cloud mine, disliking the
threatening appearance Of the storm
concluded they would make start
for homeward. Accordingly they
made break for home about FIVE
o'clock in the afternoon, coming
over the mountain top and down by
way of Bullion. They got off the
trail however, when darkness came
on, and wandered in and out many
miles, i'll the binding storm and
darkness, before reaching Bullion,
which they finally accomplished
about ten at night. From there
they pushed on to Haley, tired,
worn and weary. but two, Furey and
Nichols, being young married men,
concluded not to stop, but trudged
along toward Bellevue, where their
families reside. Upon reaching
Growers house, to the north of
town, Mr.. Furey became quite ex-
hausted, and could battle with the
storm no longer. He found shelter
at that place, and Nichols kept on
till he reached town, and related his
experience to P. E. Furey, brother
of the exhausted man, who imme-
diately ordered out sleigh and
brought him to his home, arriving
about six in the morning. 1t was
one of the widest nights and fiercest
storms within the experience of the
oldest residents, and it may be con-
sidered providential that either of
the men got through safely.-Belle-
vue Herald.

CONDUCTOR LANE and the boys Of
his train did US the honor to put
UP at Ketchum for three nights
this week. Cause-Their vehicle
was "side tracked" in the snow and
it was easier to stop over than to
walk out. They have got the snow
shoveled away from the engines,
and are now awaiting the arrival OF
a wrecking train to remove them.
Meantime the boys have been en-
loving themselves atevening dances
given for their special entertain
ment; all but Lane, who came near
breaking up the dance by trying to
collect tickets-probably caused by
force of habit.

PERSONALS.

MRS. THos. Rowe, of East Fork,
is in town, and Is the guest Of Mre.
Dollarhide, whore she has been for
the past eight or ten days.
ii. NJ. Stewart was in from the
Warm Springs yesterday. He says
the road to the Springs is in first
class order-for snowshoeing.
Mrs. T. T. Huntington returned
a few days ago from : trip to Poca-
tello. She brought bright little
Hollie Taylor, her grand child with
her.
James Fort counted the ties on
the railroad track yesterday from
his ranch to Ketchum, but says he
has q wagon road broken from his
place to HALEY.
Nick Hickey, Of the Baltimore
mine, snowshoed into town this
week and reports the snow fall heavy
and some slides in that locality.
No damage was done.
Johnny Carey came down from
the Red Elephant mine this week
and is sojourning in town for =
while, waiting for the stormy wealth
er to blow over, and wrestling with
bad cold.
Thomas Rowe, foreman of the
North Star concentration, and A. n.
Farmer, F. Kramer, Jim Crea and

Two ENGINES, a coal car and snow
plow were derailed at the Ketchum
depot on Tuesday of this week
and considerably demoralized. The
cause of their derailment seems to
be somewhat obscure, but we un-
derstand the engineer attributes the
accident to ice in the frog. Neither
of the engines were upset ana Tor
tunately no person was hurt IN the
accident. From so to ~ feet OF
track was torn up and the rails bent
and warped like so many wires, ana
some of the coupling machiaery
broken. We have no means OF
estimating the damage, but Il WILL
be considerable.

Mr.. THos. Rowe called IN our
office yesterday and during a con
versation made a suggestion that
is very important to Ketchum, and
one that all will think when it is
named should have been thought
of sooner. His proposition is that
the people of the town should turn
out and brake road through the
snow to Forts ranch. Trade is now
going to HALEY which belongs to
Ketchum and would come here il
a road we're opened to the point
named. From Forts ranch to East
Fork the road is already broken,
also from Forts to HALEY; but
from Forts to this place there is
no road and travel is shut off COM
pletely. Ketchum people would do
we'll to look after this matter. The
cost of breaking the road would be
small, and its effect would be to
secure trade that is now going to
Haley and which might perma.
nently be diverted by our continued
neglect to open the road.

Concerning the Weed River Mines.

Recent conversations and CORES
pondence with gentlemen familiar
with the geological indications of
the leading metal producing Sec
tons of the Rocky Mountains and
the Pacific coast tend to confirm
our previously formed good opinion
of the camp, based, however, upon
hearsay. The consensus Of the
opinions of competent mining men
seems to be that the ores Of the
Wood River country are in veins,
and not in pockets" or punches;
that many of these veins are true
assures and therefore lasting, and
that there is fair probability that
this will yet prove as much gold
as q silver camp.
We are aware of the single fis-
sure vein theory" maintained by
Phillips and others, but having seen
it disproved in more than one in
stance, have no faith in it.
The recent discovery of the ex-
istence of gold in greater or less
quantities in all of the iron pyritese
in this particular locality, and the
other fact that the galenas decrease
as depth is attained, while the iron
increases, go far to confirm the
theory of gold camp. 1t at least
establishes bimettalism, SO much
feared in the East, as condition
of our mines. Besides the fact that
the presence of that gold here was
not suspected until quite recently
proves that the place has been but
specifically and carelessly pros
pected.
A result of this knowledge should
be to encourage the outlay of both
effort and money in the direction OF
deeper and more thorough and in
telligent prospecting; and we think
will be. The Wood River region
contains a larger amount of low
grade ores than any other we know
anything about, except San Bernar.
dino county, California; but mixed
with this low grade ore there is
twice the quantity of high grade ore
that has ever been found in the San
Bernardino region. Both of these
ores-the low grade and the high
grade-are favorable indications.
The first demonstrates the presence
of silver in the rocks and ores OF
the camp, and some of these con-
tain metals in quantities to amply
remunerate the miner. Further
more, the presence of bodies OF rich
ores on top of the ground are posi-
tive proof of equally rich ores be-
low. Pockets and punches of ore
give out, but assure veins that carry
good ores on top will be found to
carry equally as good, probably bet.
ter, ores deeper down; and Wood
River should, and we are confident
will some time, be one of the most
prosperous and profitable mining
sections in the State. At least, ne
fact has yet been developed, we be
lieve, that is not corroborative o
this hopeful view.

Gilmore Bulletin: Recently Fo-
ley Abbott's dog "Queen" followed
John Sullivan to his cabin near the
Lost Lode. claim. Monday. while
Mr.. Sullivan was attempting to
break a trail through the snow up
the mountain side from the house
to the mine, Queen following short
distance behind, . snowslide came
rumbling down, just escaping John
but covering poor dog Queen" and
sweeping on down to the gulch be-
low. Sullivan searched for hours
for his unfortunate companion, but
in vain. He returned to town the
next day, having abandoned all
hope of ever again seeing the dog
alive. But Tuesday evening Queen
put in an appearance at Abbott's
house, a sorry looking plight and
anxious for square meal. She
must have remained under the snow
at least 80 hours, and how she
worked her way out is yet mys-
tery.-Sunday night about 10: 30
o'clock as Foley Abbott and Clar-
ence Nicholson we're proceeding
home, and when opposite the Bull
letin Office, they were startled by
the rumbling and crashing sound
of the first avalanche which came
down the mountain side south OF
town. They hurrledly retraced
their steps few rods, and then dis
covered that the Chinese washhouse
at the rear of Lawyer McCarty's
Office was completely hid from sight
and they Immediately gave alarm
1t was not long before many willing
hands were at work to rescue the
two inmates of the washhouse. The
Cinnamon had retired for the night
and the one resting in the front part
of the building was fortunately
dashed through the wreck and
landed in the creek, where. he was
soon found and rescued. The Other
Chinaman was found, after two
hours hard work, wedged in his
bunk and surrounded by timbers
which doubtless prevented hin
from smothering. He was taker
out apparently uninjured but badly
frightened. The house was carried
about 80 feet from its foundation
and is a total wreck.
Avalanche On Saturday morn
ing last an accident happened a
the Weissman drug store which
played sad havoc with nearly tn
entire stock of that establishment
The long line of shelving on on
side of the store. loaded with bot
ties and jars of liquids and pow
ders. broke loose from the wall AM
toppled over onto the counter il
front. The wreck and destruction
Of valuable goods was almost com
plete. The counter in front wa
loaded with showcases containin
toilet articles. These showcase
and their contents shared in tn
general ruin.
