THE PRIEST LAKE DISTRICT.
A New Field Rich in Minerals Tribu-
tary to Bonner's Ferry.

present attracting so much alton
ton, is among the newest and most
promising in the Kootenai district.
Although only discovered last Oc-
tober, it has every indication of be-
coming as famous as the great Slo-
can. This district lies about thirty
miles northwest of Bonner's Ferry
between the Kootenai river and the /
Washington line. Rich specimens
OF mineral have been found at
various times near this section, but
on account Of its isolated location
and the difficulty in getting sup
plies and material into it until this
spring but few efforts have
been made by prospectors to push
into its interior.
Late last September two miners,
W. Houston and Fred Suffer,
located the first claims in the dis
trict, now known as the Continen-
tai, Jasper and Blue Joe. This
group is located on the main divide
between the Kootenai river and
Priest lake. The greatest feature
of this famous discovery is that it
is large body of almost solid min
eral and extends for a distance of
several miles. The character of the
ore and the location of the claims
are such that the moment opera
lions are begun vast quantities of
ore will be ready for shipment, for
it will be more like quarrying than
mining.
Since the discovery of these
claims a large number of others
have been located, of which a num-
Der are equally as promising,
among them is the Cariboo, owned
by Henry S. Saddler and w. P.
Granger; the keystone, owned by
M. Mackey, w. Houston and d.
COLLEEN; the jim Hill, owned by w.
Granger and A. Pelky; the Irene,
which was located by Fred Suffer
for himself and |. We'll, Of Sand
Point, and which assays all the
way from $136 to 1872 in silver to
the ton. Mr.. A. Hickman, of
Sand Point, and Mr.. G. S. Smith
are also interested in some of the
best properties and are now making
preparations to begin operations.
The main feature and one that
will greatly facilitate development
is that the ore can be handled and
delivered ready for shipment at
comparatively small expense. By
building Il wagon road from the
mines to the Kootenai river, a dis
lance of twenty miles, down what is
known as Bear creek, an almost
straight course without any grade,
the best Of transportation facilities
can be established.
New locations are being made
almost every day and mineral seems
to exist throughout the whole of
this district. Several rich strikes
in copper have been made recently.
Experienced mining men are Civ
ing such favorable reports of this
district that it is attracting the at
tention of large numbers Of pros
pectors and mine operators. The
general formation is shale, quartz
tie and slate and the divide upon
which these discoveries have been
made is a direct continuation Of
the famous belt on which the Sill
yer King was discovered some
years ago They are situated in a
comparatively low altitude and
water, timber and all other mater
ial essential to the development Of
mines is abundant on all sides.

A JOURNALISTIC PILGRIMAGE.

This is the time of the year when
the meek and lowly eastern journalist
turns his intellectual face in this di-
rection,and if he can get away, strikes
tangent towards the great North
west. And why? Simply because he
has what is known as hay fever. This
is not a patent medicine advertise
ment, but statement of facts. Hay
fever is aristocratic ailment-if it
were not newspaper men would not
have it-and it is well known that
the climate at Duluth and West SD
perior is the best in the world for the
cure of that annoying disease. TIC

MONDAYS STORM.

The hardest storm for years visited
the section about Bird Island. Grair
was laid fat and as the straw is broker
it will not come up again. Two and q
half inches of rain fell. Some fields
are not worth cutting.
Much damage was done around
Alexandria, some fields of grain being
entirely destroyed.
A dispatch from Lake Benton says
that hard hail storm visited that
section Sunday and again Monday
morning, and that many hundred acres
of grain were completely ruined. The
storm extended over the central part
of the county and magnificent crops
were in a short time destroyed.
A Litchfield dispatch says that the
southwestern part of that county was
visited by destructive wind and hail
storm, making almost a total loss OF
crops in those townships.
At Candy terrific storm Of wind
and hail prevailed, destroying the
crops in strip five miles wide.
At Wheaton severe hail storm oc-
Cured Sunday, destroying about 1000
acres of grain, and damaging a great
deal more than so per cent.
At Marshall wind and hail storm
occurred, which nearly destroyed all
the crops in it's path, besides demol-
ishing several buildings. Hailstones
fully one and a half inches fell and
lay in heaps four or five hours alter
the storm. Crops in a strip four or
five miles wide are ruined.
Severe storms occurred in the vicin-
ity of Brookings and Watertown.
A Mankato dispatch in st. Paul
paper might give the impression that
the storm occurred near this city.
Had the dispatch been printed as it
was sent, this impression would not
have been left. The nearest point at
which the storm touched was 80 miles
distant, or at Amerit. No damage
has been done anywhere near Manka-
to at any time during the season.
The details are too meager as yet
to warrant an estimate of the damage,
but it is too plain that it is very great.

THE DISTRICT JUDGEsHIP.

Since the action of the Democratic
State convention, some talk has been
heard upon the street among the local
Republicans favorable to the placing
in nomination of a Republican as a
candidate for the Office of Judge of
the Sixth judicial District. They
would have this done as retaliation
upon the Democrats for their action
in regard to the Supreme Justices.
While this may seem justified by the
circumstances, we doubt whether it
would be the part of wisdom in the
end.
Judge Severance has given excellent
satisfaction, and the attorneys are
generally in favor Of his retention,
regardless of party. In this district
the judiciary has been strictly kept
out of politics and free from it's in
fluences. The Republicans have an
honorable record to look back upon.
Would it not be better to continue
this record? The Democrats have
placed themselves in very unenvia-
BILE light in the state by their action
upon the Supreme Justices, and it
would seem that the Republicans can
best take advantage of this by going
before the people upon the record as
it stands. Many of the better class of
Democrats, who believe in the just
ness and fairness of politics, will join
with the Republicans in their endeav-
or to preserve the courts from the de-
basing influences of politics. The
Republicans of the state and district
have consistently held to this ground,
and they should not now desert it be-
cause the Democrats are attempting
to drag the judiciary into politics.
Let the odium fall where it should.
Let the Republicans recognize emf
nent fitness by endorsing Judge Sew
erance, though Democrat, and trust
to the best impulses of the voters to
sit down good and hard upon the re-
cent action of the Democrats in en-
deavoring to make the judicial ermine
a prize to be striven for by partisan
leaders, with partisan methods.

OPENING AN UMBRELLA.

1t might be difficult or very easy to
open an umbrella, and of course there
are an untold number of ways of
spreading it's covering. The point
particularly in mind is the opening Of
an umbrella in the house, which por-
tends some awful calamity, and is an
omen Of evil. Such has been the voice
of some famed author of superstition
at least, likened unto the reflection
cast upon the needs done on a Friday,
or the stepping on the tail of cat.
Such idle fancieS are not the affairs of
today. One will travel now on Sun
day if necessary without fear of moral
results. The Minneapolis and St.
Louis R'y trains run daily including
Sunday, and can accommodate all cir
cumstances. Fast time, comfortable
easy coaches, reaching many principle
points of central and southern Mime

THE ROBBERS CORNERED.

Contant and Evans have not yet
been captured in California. The
latest report Monday afternoon was
from Redley, Cal, and stated that
the robbers were surrounded by a
posse Of over fifty armed men on Mig
ger creek, ten miles from Orosi. The
officers were confident of the capture
of the desperadoes if they get no fur
ther in the mountains.
An earlier dispatch states that peo-
pie throughout the foot hills and
mountains are thoroughly aroused.A All
are on the lookout and roads and
trails are lined with armed men.
Deputies and officers are securing the
country in all directions. A camp
was discovered where the robbers pre-
pared dinner yesterday, while the
sheriff and ten men were four miles
distant. The mountaineers say it
will be impossible to capture the rob-
bers if once they reach their old
hauntS.
There are no new DEVELOPMENTS at
this end of the line, other than what
has already appeared in these columns.
The local police suspected the Con-
tant brothers and the stranger who
gave the name of Norton, but who is
believed to be Evans, Immediately
after the Kasota robbery and directed
the attention of the detectives to
them. If they should prove to be the
right parties great credit will be due
to chief Yates and his men for their
detective skill. 1t is believed that
the net which the detectives were
drawing about the three men became
too apparent to them for comfort and
that they left on that account on July
sth. A detective followed each OF
the parties to California, though they
went byudifferent routes, and they
have ever since been under the
watchful eyes of these officers, who
now claim to have implicated them
in the ViSalia robbery

MANKATO BOYS IN BAD BUSINESS

Wednesday night an express train
was held up near Hollis, CAL, in a
manner similar to that in which the
Omaha train was recently held up
near Kasota. They blew open the
door of the express car with dynamite
cartridges, wounding the messenger,
and blew open the safe and secured
from $780, to $4,000. A posse was
organized to pursue them and overlook
them mile north Of Visalia yester-
day. Shots were exchanged and two de-
tectives were shot, one dangerously.
The news of the shooting caused great
excitement and an armed body of men
started in pursuit, 100 in number. At
four o'clock news was received that
the robbers had been seen northeast
of Visalia driving rapidly, with the
officers only half mile behind.
In some manner the officers got a
clew that the robbers were men named
Chris Evans and John Sontag, and
started after them with the above re-
suit. Geo. Sontag, brother of John
Sontag was arrested yesterday and is
now in the Visalia jail. Evans is said
to have lived in that community long
time and is about 40 years old. His
companion, Sontag, has lived there
since 1887, and both had borne good
regulations.
The Sontags are believed to be Man
kato boys, and their right name to be
Constant. John went to California
about five years ago. Geo. Sontag's
family reside in this city. He was
two years ago arrested on the charge
of raising 81 bills to S., by FASTING on
figures cut from cigar stamps. His
reputation has not been good.
He returned to the city three
months ago, and left two days after
the train robbery, which leads to the
suspicion that he might possibly have
been engaged in this robbery as well
as the California scrape. The man
Evans is unknown here. John Sontag
always bore good reputation in this
city. The Sontags are stepsons of the
proprietor of the Sontag hotel. The
police believe that they are the same
| parties.
