Jack Henderson while prospecting
in the hills the other day picked nm
an angular piece of mineral sub.
stance which be and others were nm.
aoie to properly classify. They had
never seen anything like it before,
though they knew it was neither iron.
silver nor gold. Bringing it to town
ne exhibited it to Mr.. Baxter, the as
sayer, who at once pronounced it tin
ore OF superior quality. He also OBJ
served to the finder: "You discover
a vein Of ore like that foot ia width
and you needn't hunt for silver or
gold" The spot where found is q
deep triangular ravine whose SUR
roundings indicate mineral zone,
The appearance of the ore shows
that it could not have travelled far or
been long broken from the ledge.
Mr.. Henderson feels confident that he
can trace the float up to the ledge
and will return in short time to try
to do SO. Tin ore has also been found
in Owyhee county, The Democrat is
informed, which coupled with the
above fact, are the only two known
instances of its discovery in the State.
Mr.. Henderson also brought in a
sample of silver ore found in the same
vicinity which has given an assay OF
two hundred ounces. The ledge
which he traced three miles, was very
narrow on the surface, but at depth
of six or eight feet it had widened to
almost two feet.
Idaho undoubtedly possesses all of
the rare and precious metals found
in other States and Territories, many
of which have probably been thrown
aside as worthless by prospectors
through ignorance of name and value
If samples of such ores were procured
and kept where they could be ex-
amined by prospectors and their
properties and values learned, il
might result in valuable discoveries

NAMpA LEADER: In the progress
and development of our great State,
reader, what are you doing? Do you
make an effort to realize the great
opportunity for both fame and wealth!
If the great East from which you
came was not large enough for the
development of all your talents, you
have come to the proper place. Let
loose the food-gates of your pent-uP
energies and took look around you.
The Seven States and Territories that
comprise the Pacific group have an
area of 5000 square miles and con-
tain about 100000 population,
while the States of the Atlantic group,
comprising those of New England
with New York, New Jersey, Della
ware, Pennsylvania and Maryland
have less than 1S3,600 square miles
and contain a population of 1a,ooo,'
900. If this country in which you
live either as fgure-head or mar
wide awake to its growth and prom
ise, were as densely populated as the
Atlantic group, we would have a pop
ulation of 100000, and Idaho, long
neglected Idaho, should have 10000
900 of these.

Several weeks ago > prisoner NAM
ed Abraham Davie, confined IN the
Arkansas penitentiary, complained to
the federal authorities he had been
numerically whipped and branded
with hot irons in the presence Of the
prison officials, and that such treat
ment OF prisoners was Of almost dai-
y occurrence. The Attorney Gen
erai Of the United States ordered the
District Attorney to investigate, and
the warden stated he had ordered
Davis whipped, but did not know he
was federal prisoner. The United
States Marshal received orders to re-
move all federal prisoners to the Col
umbus, Ohio, penitentiary, because
of the developments made in the ex-
animation. The order created quite
a sensation in Little Rock.

4 alsroalc suILDlse.
Boise Democrat


Workmen have commenced tearing
away the one-story brick building just
vacated by the Spanish restaurant,
corner Idaho and Eighth streets. 1t
occupies, as does Boise Engine Cos
building and the city Jail, the site Of
the new city hall. The build
ing has long been known as tho .old
court house." II was built twenty
FIVE years ago by the county and was
occupied by the county officers.
District court was also held in it.
Many marriages have taken place
within its walls, and the dead have
also lain in state there. Among the
latter were the remains Of the brave
stage driver, Bill Hemingway, killed
by the Indians near Walters Ferry,
on the Owyhee road. Alex Smith,
Associate Justice, noted for his con-
vivial habits, held a term or two of
court in the old building in the days
when l. N. Smith, bright and witty
attorney, also convivially inclined,
was in the zenith of his glory. On
one occasion when Smith, the lawyer,
was stating a peint before Smith, the
Judge, the latter (whose tongue was
still thick and eyes bleared from the
previous nights run with the boys)
interrupted the former by saying:
"You are wholly wrong, Mr.. Smith.
You will have to take water"
Smith, the irrepressible lawyer
(who had set 'em up with the Judge
all night and who never could inn
bibe enough of the ardent to COM
pletely dull his witt then arose in a
state of comfortable inebriation, stead
led himself, blinked at the court and
slowly drawled out:
SHAY 1t please your honor, with
your permission l would remark that
in all of my extensive practice both
before and at the bar / have never
known a Smith to take water"
The reply and roar of laughter that
followed somewhat staggered the
Judge, but quickly gathering himself
he with impressive dignity said;
"Court stands adjourned for fifteer
minutes"
And donning his hat he sailed Out
of the room followed by the crowd te
the nearest saloon where the asser
ton that Smith never took watel
was again verified, at least so far al
concerned those two members of the
great family.

A strong Mining and Milling Com
pany.
Idaho County Free Press.

Idaho County Free Press.
The proprietors of the California
mine in Elk City have arranged for
the shipment of one carload of ore
this fall, and if the trail will permit,
of three car loads. They have Sc
cured from the Union Pacific rate
of s14 per ton from Lewiston to
Omaha, and s12 per ton from Lewis
ton to Denver. As the smelling
charges are somewhat lower in Den
yer than in Omaha, the ore will go to
Denver. This shipment is made, not
so much to ascertain the value of the
ore, as to learn the best mode of
treatment, in order that the company
can erect their own reduction works
right at the mine. The mine is owned
by the California Mining and Milling
Company, whose head Office is at
Anacortes, Wash. The California is
the oldest discovered quartz mine in
Elk City, and is developed by long
tunnel, with connecting shaft and
other prospecting work. The CON-
pany will employ twelve mon in
opening the mine by tunnel run
from the lowest possible level on the
Red river side, and they propose te
have the mine in shape to ship out
100 tons of ore per day as soon as
the proposed new wagon road to the
camp is completed. This may sound
like brag and bluster, but the com
pany have the grit and the money to
do it, and the mine certainly car
produce that amount of ore. The
fact is that great camp is building
up in Elk City, even under its pres
ent disadvantages; and we think tha
a wagon road into Elk would do more
to bring a railroad to Camas Prairie
than any subsidy we could raise.

BOISE COUNTY IN A TRAP.
The County Commissioners. 81

ne county Commissioner of th;a
county, in making arrangements for
bonding the county Indebtedness
acted on the theory that all men are
honest until the contrary is proven.
The contrary has been proven in their
transactions with the firm Of Rollins a
Co., or at least such now appears to
be the case. Attorney Dunton has
recently written to them and made
inquiries as to when they would have
the bonds ready, and we will soon
know more in regard to what thew
mean by this unreasonably long de-
lay. This company agreed to take
the bonds and get them printed as
soon as possible, and it was agreed
that interest should begin on the
debt, $4,000, on August 1st. The
bonds have not yet been made out,
and the company shows no disposition
to do as they agreed, and have given
no information as to when they will
be ready to pay over the money.
The county is nov. paying interest on
its warrants and it looks very much
as if this company will get its interest
on $4,000 (which has not come to
hand) from August 1st last to what
date no one but the All Wise knows.
This outfit has sold its agreement to
another company. BOISE county is
in a trap. We think the people of
this county would prefer to take the
amount of this interest and stand this
dilatory company suit rather than
pay z per cent. on that $4,000
(which we haven't got beyond reas-
enable time in which to prepare the
bonds. The agreement did not fix
definite date on which the bonds
must be printed and the money paid
over, and it IS on the strength of this
weak point, to use seemingly contra
dictory terms, that this moneyed (0
outfit, it is generally shrewdly guessed,
will seek to gather interest. If they
can collect interest for one month
over reasonable time for getting
the bonds printed and furnishing the
money, they can collect it until res
direction day or until time is merged
into eternity. On the first of next
month the interest, at per cent,
will amount to 500. This interest
will be paid, if it is paid, on abso-
lutely nothing. All that might be
paid after the expiration of reason
able time allowed for preparing the
bonds and coming to the front with
the thirty thousand, would simply be a
reward for dishonesty, or what some
would term smartness. or sharp prac'
tice. On the presumption thai
smartness, seasoned with pure and
unadulterated dishonesty, is worthy
of reward on its bare face and moth
ing more, this company is entitled te
interest up to the present time, near
lv $500, and the neat little sum of SIZE
per month right along hereafter
without limit. Boise county is in q
trap, and it would be better to try tc
gnaw out, even if it does cause some
wear and tear on her financial teeth
than to sit there on her launches ano
continue to pay tribute to what nov
appears to be thieving gang.
