MINERAL ROAD.

The people of Mineral have sent
the following petition to the commits
sioners:
To the Hon. Board of County Com
missioners:
We, the undersigned residents of
Mineral, Idaho, would respectfully
represent that it is our earnest desire
that good county road be construct
ed from this place to Weiser, Idaho.
We desire easier access to the county
seat, being at present compelled to GO
by way of Huntington, Oregon, at
an increased expense and loss OF
time; and that your honorable body
will take favorable and speedy action
in this road matter your petitioners
will ever pray.
Here follows 124 signatures.
Accompanying this petition is an
other seconding the prayer and signed
by about $50 from the balance of the
county. AS the latter was very
meagerly circulated it represents bu
a small proportion of those favorins
the road. A remonstrance containing
40 names from Hornet creek ha
been sent in. 1t is difficult to con
lecture just what action will be taken

Justice Coakley's court was in
session all day Tuesday, the first
case being that of State of Idaho vs..
w. w. Mason, the complaining
witness being one James Don Levy,
who alleged that on the 9th day of
the 4th month of the present year
the defendent did mildly and play
fully insinuate in no uncertain terms
that he, Don Levy, was undoubtedly
the descendant of a canine of the
gentler sex and besides being of
such ancestry was, moreover, of that
worthless species commonly called
mongrels, which same uncom-
plimentary epithet did harrow up his,
Don Levys, feelings, as if with fine
toothed harrow. The jury found a
verdict of guilty. A fine of $40 was
imposed. The case of State of Idaho
vs.. Mrs. Mary Mason, with the same
Don Levy as prosecuting witness,
was tried without jury. The
evidence ON the side of the prosecution
was to the effect that Don did go fol
the purpose of closing up gate on his
premises some three miles from
Weiser but was unexpectedly con
fronted by the defendant, who
pleasantly informed him that did h'
carry out his intentions his hid,
would run great risk Of being pun
ctured by a bullet with more or les
fatal results, which caused the com
planning witness to tremble in terro
and be in great fear of his life. Th
I defendant denied these allegation
; and adduced that on the contrary tn
, complaining witness did elevate an
wave q hammer at her in an exceedin
threatening manner, where upon sh
, did in an aimless sort Of wa
, tickle him slightly about the neck an
{ shoulders with wooden ticker abou
{ one and one-half inches thick b
= three or four feet in length, whic
D proceeding caused him to take to hi
5 heels in demoralized manner. Th
defendant was discharged.

The Citizen has the following:
No one is losing faith in the Seven
Devils and it is only a matter of d
very short time until investments in
that camp will be sought after more
than in any other mining section on

mining capitalists are negotiating for
properties and several big deals are
likely to be consummated in the near
future. Everything is being done on
the quiet but the camp is rapidly

Artesian Well Matters.

Watlington and Sommercamp re-
turned from Salt Lake last Sunday,
having examined all the wells and
boring machinery in the vicinity of
that town. Arrangements have been
made for the shipment Of machinery
at once and it will be here within
twenty days. A rope drill has been
decided upon, as it will enable them
to bore through rock with ease, and
casing enough to 60 down 500 feet
has been purchased. The exact loca-
ton of the well has not yet been
decided upon, but will be near the
town.

these men; and no class of our
citizens think so lightly over the
toll and dangers to which they are
subjected in the work of building up
their country and exploring it's
resources. The supply
of gold is wholly inadequate to the
business demands of the world; yet
we have presented to us the remark
able spectacle of the entire world
gathered around pot containing a
few millions of gold, every nation
striving to secure the contents and
each possessing full knowledge that
ruin awaits those who fail to grasp
the prize.
Still the struggle goes on; great
nations continuing to measure the
products of the earth by gold, with
the supply so limited and the measure
Of value occupying position so
exalted that bushel of wheat is of
no value compared with il so limited
in quantity that the shipment abroad
of few millions creates CONSERVATION
in all business circles; so precious
that it is boarded by Government and
people alike; so scarce that land, the
necessities of life, and the sweat OF
mans brow weigh as a feather
against a stone when placed in the
opposite scale.
These farming States have suffered
so long from this monetary wicked
ness that now they are likely to be-
come so radical as to demand not
only the restoration of the equality
of gold and silver, but to make such
extremely radical demands as to play
back into the hands of the single
standard men and money-lenders.

coinage of gold and silver, because l

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

Tne San Jose Mercury has come to the
relief Of tue Board Of Railroad Commis-
si0ners. That journal assumes that the
commission is a judicial body which can
only hear complaints when they are sworn
l.. il is assumed that thoroughly estab-
lisAed fact that freight rates are much higher
in this state than in others, conditions being
substantially the same, does net afford the
commission any ground for action. On this
point there is a conflict between our San Jose
contemporary and the State constitution.
Probably this fact win have no weight with
the Nercuy, as the nature Of the legal duties
81 tie commission was clearly pointed out
by Nj. Leeds at the session of the Board Of
Railroad Commissioners which the Mercury
makes the basis Of lis article. TIE asser-
ton is made that the only thing San Fran
CISCO las to complain of is the establishment
Of distributing points at the terminal points
al The railroad. Such interior cities as san
dose, Sacramento, Stockton and Los
Angeles can now make and receive ship
men,s as well as San Francisco. The loss
II trade TO San Francisco in consequence of
tie establishment Of distributing points in
the interior is trifing in comparison with
the less resulting from the maintenance of
higher rates Of freight over Caliiornia lines
thaE over lines when supply competing
cities.
TIE CALL has shown that tie San Fran
cisco trade in tea ana coffee is slipping
away from as because these articles can be
lad down cheaper by other routes than by
tie route through San Francisco. The Port
land tea merchant can place goods in Salt
Lake City at lower cost than the San Fran
otseo merchant, though the san Francisco
roa,e IS the most direct. The freight rates
which Mr.. Leeds submitted to the Rail-
read Commission showing tie charges on
LISTEN roads operated under no more favor
ab le conditions were intended to stimulate
ne commission 10 more comprehensive
Programme Of lis constitutional duty. The
commisSlon decided not to act upon the
figures unless they were made the basis of
sworn comp aints. There is nothing in this
effort 10 get better terms for our producers
in all parts of the State which warrants the
assumption that San Francisco feels ag-
gIieyed because half dozen interior cities
are made points Of shipment 1t is desira-
bic that the products of the interior. be
brought to this city as cheaply as possible.
l. Is equally desirable that the manufactured
products Of the city be carried 10 the inte-
l!or al the lowest rates consistent with the
cost Of service. The Railroad Commission
vas created to take all conditions into con-
sidera;i0n and to establish reasonable freight
rates. This is precisely what it refuses to do.

P0ST-STREET WELL.

The Crocker Building FREQ From Spring
Valley.
The earth on the Post-street side of the
Croker building is being perforated to OBJ
tain supply Of water for the huge struc-
ture. Crowds of spectators watch the
movements Of the worm as il deseends into
the bowels of the earth and comes back
cloGged with specimens Of the strata.
The well has been bored TO a depth OF l75
feet. Operations were suspended yester-
day on account of the rain, but one of the
employees was found who stated that the
work was commenced about a week ago
The biz auger passed through sand to a
depth of from 40 TO 30 feet. Then il passed
through feet of blue clay. Ten feet of
sand lay beneath the clay, and then came a
layer of very hard clay about 10 feet
thick.
The contractor believes that he has still
about 80 feet 10 bore before he will obtain
water. The well will then be as deep as
that of the Palace Hotel. The contractor
charges SIS per foot for his work, so that
the well when completed will have cost the
Croker estate about $500, as the we'll will
be about 200 feet deep.
