Well, As Mineral Commissioner for
this county. Quite an interest vas
taken in the meeting. Mr.. Wells
had written to E. w. Jones request.
ing him to recommend some one for
the position. He deemed it best to
call public meeting 30 Is to get IN
expression Of the peoples choice in
the matter, and gave notice Of the
meeting in the WORLD and request
ing mining men who could not be
present, and had any choice in the
selection Of the Commissioner, to
communicate with him. From the
fact that he received no letters from
any of the miners, it is inferred that
they were willing to accept the choice
OF the meeting. H. w. Dunton was
elected Chairman Of the meeting and
}. A. Lippincott Secretary. Only
one name was brought before the
meeting, that of J. G. Watts, and by
viva voce vote was unanimously
named as the person to he recon-
mended to Commissioner Wells. Mr..
Wells will select an agricultural
Commissioner from this county and
ne contemplated giving the Agricul-
tural Commissioner charge of the pro-
curing of the timber exhibit. E. w.
Jones informed him of the fact that
the timber and mineral belts being

he hetter to have the Mineral Com
missioner look after the timber ex-
hibit. A motion was made and car
ried that Commissioner Wells be re-
quested to place the labor of collect
ing the timber exhibit in the hands
of the Mineral Commissioner.
Mr.. Watts was called on and res
ponded. He stated the importance
of having an exhibit that would be a
credit to the county, and he knew we
had ores of such richness and variety
as to make fine showing. He
stated that the labor of the Commis-
sioner OF the county would be prin-
cipally to organize the work, carry
on correspondence with the State
Commissioner and with the miners of
the several districts to whom, espe-
cially, will be entrusted the selection
of specimens. No mineral exhibit
can be a success without the coop
Grafton of the miners, and they be-
ing especially interested in the mat
ter, will see to furnishing specimens
of every character of ore in their res
pective districts. Mr.. Watts is ener-
getic in whatever he undertakes, il

Mountain last Saturday night Tom
Brassfeld came near being frozen to
death. Two other miners we're with
him and Tom had on a new pair of
boots which hurt his feet so badly
that he got afraid he could not make
it home and concluded to return to
town. His companions thinking he
could get back without assistance
went on and left him, but growing
uneasy returned about ten O'Clock
next morning and found him uncon'
scious and badly frozen not far from
where they left him. His feet and
hands were frozen perfectly stiff, his
hands being clinched and frozen to.

Some Wonderfully Rich Properties
on Rapid River.

The Rapid River Mining company
was incorporated Saturday with cap
ital of 100000, says the Spokane
Review. The stock is nom -assessable
and consists of 100000 shares at s.
a share par value. The officers of
the Rapid River company are: b.
C. Van Houten, President; George
NJ. Dickinson, of Idaho, Vice Presl-
dent; A. G. Edwards, Secretary;
and Mrs. NJ. ]. Mccoy, Treasurer.
This company's mines consist CT
three claims on the Rapid river, in
Idaho. The ledge of ore is 4,5Oo feet
in length, and ranges from three to
fifteen feet in width and is composed
of slate and porphyry. The ledge
crops out of the ground in some
places to the extent of four feet and
is the richest strike of any mine in
that part of the country. Three ex-
perts have at different times examined
these mines and estimate $490,00C
worth of ore in sight, and certificates
have been made that the ore goes
s21. 900. This is wonderful when we
consider that &c to the ton is consid
cred good. The company intend tt

4 PRonlsISG COMPANY.
salubria Citizen,


A little over month ago mining
company was organized III Salubria
and Incorporated under tie laws OF
the State Of Washington under the
name Of the Rapid River Mining Co.
with headquarters At Spokane. The
company was organized for the pur-
pose Of developing and working the
ores out Of the famous gold and silver
lodges on Rapid river, Idaho county,
this State, and if they do ono half Of
what they contemplate doing and
We believe they will. more good will
come of it to this section Of idaho
than anything that has yet transpired
in mining circles.
It will be remembered that Geo.
D;ckerson and F. H. johnson struck
an unusually rich ledge Of free mill
ing gold and silver ore on Rapid river
early last fall and this is the property
which will be developed first. One
assay from this ledge went $780,
in gold alone but it is not to be un-
derstood that the entire ledge will
assay this much. Such rich depos-
ut could not lie out OF doors very long
and the owners would have to stand
over it with . double barrel shotgun
to keep it from being stolen. But
there is no question about the ledge
being rich. Far above the average
In fact gold can be found in large OF
small quantities almost anywhere il
that section Of the country and we
believe it is destined to be in time
foremost among the great gold and
silver producing camps in Idaho.
The incorporates of the company
are B. q. Van Houten, Vice Presi.
dent OF the Citizens National Bank
of Spokane; A. G. Edwards, wei
known capitalist and mining man o.
Spokane; Mrs. NJ. J. Mccoy, wealthy
widow of Spokane; Alex Kaiser O
Lane Co. Oregon; H. F. johnson
Geo. M. Dickerson and Luniel Jack
son of Salubria.
As soon as the snow disappears il
the spring the company will beglr
operations and if developments show
sufficient body Of ore rich enough
to justify the necessary expenditure
stamp mill of large capacity will b
put IN during this year.
At present their properties car
only be reached by pack animals, bu
good road can be constructed witt
very little expense.

Unaccountable.

! 1t will be seen by notice elsewhere
Silver City merchants, has been dis
solved, and to say the least, the separ-
alton was brought about under very
strange circumstances. Over a week
ago Mr.. Allen came to DeLamar and
announced his intention of going to
Flint to settle up some business, bnt in
stead, hired Mr. Lawson to take him to
the railroad, leaving here about IL
O'Clock at night on the 18th inst, Mr..
Adams was in Boise at the time, and
nothing strange was though of Aliens
going except the fact of his having
hired a private conveyance when be
could have reached his destination
much cheaper and quicker by stage.
He gave no notice to the house that he
was going, and Mr.. Adams was notified
and returned to Silver. Nothing has
been heard from Allen since, except
that he is known to have been atCaldwell
and Boise City. Why he should leave
profitable and pleasant business in
such strange manner, is seven-days
wonder. 1t has not been made known
if there is anything wrong with his ac-
counts; and there are many theories in
regard to his strange conduct. Some
think his mind had become disordsred;
others, that he had lost heavily at the
"paste boards" with which be had
been playing, and still others that he
had become enamored with one of the
opposite sex, and is on her trail. Allen
has always stood high in the esteem of
the people, and all hope he may yet
show up all right and prove himself
what they have always thought him
all wool and yard wide-but it looks
bad.

The people of Jordan Valley ought to
make move to get the telephone ex-
tended there from this place. l UNDER
stand that the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone Company make general
offer to extend their lines to any point
from which there is a prospect of a
reasonable amount of business, when
ever the citizens will subscribe for stock
in the line to the amount of one-half
the cost of construction. With line to
the valley, and a phone at Mills to
accommodate Pleasant Valley, great
convenience would be secured. The
three instances last week where relays
of horses were ridden here for physi-
clan, were illustrations of what great
eonveniencs the telephone would be.
l am confident, if some one would start
subscription the money can readily
be raised. Several business men at this
end of the line wonld no doubt con-
tribute When at Mills place it would
doubtless bo extended to South Mount
ain next summer, as that camp will
probably have boom as soon rs the
snow disappears.

1t Is Considered Reasonably Good by
Divers Wisconsin Men.
A Wisconsin man had pony which
he decided to kill for the purpose of
using its hide for robe, says the Madi-
son (Wis.) Journal The animal was
rolling fat and in excellent condition.
After it was killed some of the meat
was cut off and cooked, number hav-
ing expressed a curiosity to know how
horsehesh tasted. AT one of the sa-
looms in the city it was partaken of, and
those who ate the meat pronounced it
good. rather coarse. Some were not in
formed as to the nature of the meat un-
til after they had expressed an opinion
as to its flavor and tenderness. Inva-
riably they praised its flavor and paid
tribute to its juiciness. Among those
who were called upon to express an
opinion was a city butcher, who was
asked to speak as an expert. The dish
was set before him and he ate heartily.
He said that he could tell any kind of
meat that was brought to him; that there
was an unmistakable flavor in meat
which man who had been in the butch
ering business as long as he had could
detect. He praised the meat before him
as TO flavor but said it was triflc
coarse, indicating that it was not taken
from the best part of the beast. Then
you know, do you, just what kind of
meat you are eating?" asked the pro-
prietor. ayes, SIR" "Wen, tell us
what it is" 'It is a cut of roast from a
steers neck, " said the diner Upon be-
ing informed of the real nature of the
meat he expressed great surprise that it
should be found so familiar in flavor to
bovine flesh, and this was echoed by all
the others.

authorized to make love to any gentle
man she may deem worthy of her hand

pected to accompany her to parties,
concerts and all places of amusement,

FREAKS OF A LOCOMOTIVE.
Runs Away Mt VIII and Excites the Curl
osity of Railroad Men.

Runs Away Mt Will and Excites the Curl
osity of Railroad Men.
No. ss417' of the Louisville & Nash
vile system is a dangerous engine. She
is the smallest owned by the Louisville
e. Nashville road, and was built by the
Kansas Central.
A few weeks ago, while she was in
the round house, relates the Cincinnati
Post, Engineer Gilmore and his fireman
went into the office, and while they
were away old ''417'' suddenly struck
out and butted the big iron doors of the
round house down before she could be
stopped. The throttle was unmoyed,
and the strange actions of 'f417' could
not be understood
An examination by an expert me-
chanic revealed nothing, however
"That engine needs watching" Yard
master Maher informed his men
Engineer Gilmore was called to the
main office in Cincinnati and asked to
explain the actions of -'417" while in
his charge. He could not explain, but
the boss of this division said that it was
impossible for locomotive to run off
of its own accord, and laid off Gilmore.
But on Saturday old ''417" vindicated
Gilmore.
Just at $40 a. m. she broke out the
main track at brealsneclz speed.
She was left standing on the coal
track about 4:3O by her crew. The
throttle was closed and water in the
boiler turned Off
But the tricky mule" of the Coyiug-
ton yards broke the switch and rushed
pell-men out on the main track. Old
''417" was on rampage, but it being
dark nobody saw her. Upon reaching
the Milldale intersection of the *. c.
and L. N. roads she rushed through the
swinging gate and reduced it to splin-
tcrs Two miles further out stray
horse was run over. But in the mean
time five closed switches were broken
open.
Seven miles out ''417'' stopped. The
fire had gone out and the boiler was
empty when Yardmaster Maher reached
it on special engine at half-past nine
o'clock Luckily the overdue freights
were delayed by an accident at Menzies'
Station, in Pendleton county.
Had it not been for that another ac-
cident could not have been averted, for
''417'' stood on the main track just
around deep curve for about two
hours. Yardmaster Maher was joyous
when the lost engine was sighted.
Old railroad men cannot account for
her strange actions, and few, if any,
ever heard of similar case to the one
above described. 1t seems preposter-
Gus that locomotive standing on a
side track alone should half an hour
later strike out of its own accord and
run seven miles unnoticed by anybody.

The last nail in the woman's building
at the Worlds Fair Will be of alloyed
gold from a Montana mine and will be
driven to its appointed place by Mrs.
Potter Palmer, the president of the
lady managers. Mrs. Elizabeth A. Rick
ards, wife of Lieutenant Governor of
Montana has written Mrs. Palmer a
description of the nail. 1t will be a
"twelve-penny" in size and when
driven will pass through medallion of
very elaborate design, com prising a
coat of arms of Montana-a setting sun
behind a mountain range. The setting
sun will be composed entirely of sap
phires, the mountains of gold and the
valleys of silver, and this entire artistic
work will form an emblem at once
beautiful and unique.
