SENATOR sHouP,s OPINION.


The following interview with
Senator Shoup, of Idaho, by a
Washington correspondent, shows
that our ex-governor has some faith
in the supposed diamond fields.
The senator is badly mistaken AZ
to the location of the fields, as they
are nearer Mountain Home than
any other railroad point and at
least seventy miles from Boise City.
He says:
Washington, d. c., Dec. a.
Senator Shoup of Idaho feels con-
fident that the Idaho diamond
fields areno chimera. In an inter-
view this evening he says: II
have been aware for long time of
the fact that my State is rich in
minerals and precious stones of
all kinds. Diamonds have occa-
sionally been found there in the
rough, but were too small to be of
value, and have been kept by the
persons finding them simply as
curiosities. No one ever believed
that Idaho was rich in fields of
this character, or that diamonds of
a size large enough to be valuable
could be obtained from Mother
Eearth. It is possible that pros
pector looking for silver may &C
cidentally have stumbled upon
bed of diamonds. I am not in a
position just at present to be able
to give any definite information on
the subject. None will rejoice
more than | however, if the reports
received are authenticated. I'm
migration win set in, houses will
spring up, and from new state
just admitted Idaho will assume
the appearance of one of the more
populous commonwealths of the
East. The immigration which will
set in will, in my opinion, remain,
and even if the diamond fields do
not prove as well as expected, the
greater portion of the people now
travelling towards the sparkling
goal will become so charmed with
the climate and tie country as 10
prevent all idea. of returning to
their homes. The fields are in the
southwestern portion of the state
near Huntington, a short distance
from Snake river, which forms the
boundary line between Oregon and
Idaho. It is easily accessible, the
nearest railroad being within fifteen
miles from the fields, and Boise is
not much farther off. No trouble
whatever, therefore, will be ex.
perienced by those wishing to reach
the fields. Two hours ride will
bring one to the and Of promise,
and VIII, tn n he make a big strike
or not, rests with themselves and
the golden fortune"

CINCINNATI, May 23-The Enquirer

Blaine will make the race. He realizes
that the Republican party will need its

Leaves 1t to the Delegates.
The assurances so persistently made
that his name is stronger than any other
have had their weight. Yielding every
consideration to party welfare he is in the

seek the nomination nor run away from
it. If called upon to lead he throws tie

started to back the train to Golden, the

bayou when the freight came along at &
high speed, down grade. The engineer
did not see the passenger until it was toe
late and all he could do was to reverse and
jump out in the mud and water. Two Of
the passenger coaches, including the
sleeper, were thrown into the raging
stream below.
