BOISE DsMocRAr: Capt. Baxter
has received dispatch stating that
the last pound of the gold and silver
quartz mill had been placed on the
cars bound for Boise. The weight of
the entire plant, Corlss engine, etc.,
was thirty6ve tons, instead of eigh-
teen tons as first announced. The
delay in shipping the mill was caused
by the inability to procure a sufficient
number of large freight teams and
wagons. The distance from the mill
sight to the depot was forty-6ve miles,
and the hauling was mostly done by
one six-horss team. The machinery
will have to change cars at least
twice. so that two weeks will yet
elapse before 1t reaches here. In all
probability the mill will not be ready
to drop its stamps before the middle
of July or August; but the bin for
the reception of ore will be built
as soon as the plant arrives.

The Jack Rabbit Plague In California.
On the San Joaquin plains Of Cali
fornia the jack rabbits are = nuisance,
and the practice of the farmers is to
thin them out by annual drives. A
corral is formed with barbed wire
fence, and around this, forming . cir
conference ten to twelve miles long,
from 5000 to 1000 persons collect at
the appointed time. Many are mount-
ed, there are many hundreds of light
wagons and other vehicles, the mass
on foot form a skirmish line in ad-
vance, provided with clubs. As the
line contracts the jacks are put up
and headed for the corral. The close
of the latest drive is thus described
Jy the San Francisco Examiner:
"Before the contracting line Of men,
women, boys and girls lay about Eve
acres of plain so thick with madly
rushing hares that the ground was
actually hidden from sight.
Within space of a few acres over
$4,000 rabbits were huddled together.
1t is estimated that at least 5000 were
never touched by club, but were SIM
ply smothered to death by the rush of
those in the rear. Photographs were
taken of the mass as they lay huddled
up, and then the vetern guard of Cal
ifornia, clubs in hand, were formed
In line of battle, and with a yell
moved down upon the mass of $4,000
bunnies, clubbing as they ran. A
sickening slaughter took place, last
ing about an hour"

CHAs. w. SMITH went down to
Boise Sunday. Charley did not State
his business, but il he does not buy a
full set of furniture and other house,
hold goods preparatory to change
from bachelordom and with an "eye
single" to doubleness, the people
here will miss their guess. Charley
moves in a mysterious way and talks
but little, but his friends have been
prophesying coming and near events
which it is said always cast their
shadows before, and they claim to
have discovered the shadow. Time
will tell, and "they say" the time Is
not far distant-not farther of than
FIVE or six weeks.

koorENAi COUNTY.



Major George A. Manning arrived
In the city yesterday. He was on hi.
way from Pocatello, where he had
oeea attending the Republican con.
ven.lon' to his home in Post Falls.
When seen by reporter Of The
Statesman, he said that Kootena;
county was making rapid strides to.
ward attaining the position its citizens
desired for it-that of the first coun.
ty in the State.
I'm Post Falls, !" said Mr.. Manning.
we have a number of manufacturing
interests of which but little is known
throughout the State. A Touring
mill with capacity of $50 barrels a
day, Two single mills-one with a
capacity of 10000 and the other 15O.-
ooo shingles per day; a large saw
mill that handles all the logs cut in
that vicinity, except those stolen by
Washington lumber men; a match
factory, employing sixteen men.
turning out number of different
kinds OF lucifers, which find a ready
sale, and several other minor indus
tries"
The water power afforded Post
Falls, he says, is something great,
and situated in a densely populated
district in the East, would make the
town the best manufacturing center
in the United States. Mr.. Manning
said capitalists were investing heavily
there, and it was only a matter of a
few years until Post Falls would
rank with the best towns in the State.
A great deal of trouble has been
experienced with men who persist in
taking lumber from that point and
transporting it to Washington. "If
these steals of Idaho logs are contin.
ued very long" he said, "our forests,
in Kootenai county, at least, will be
totally stripped of timber in few
years"
Every peaceable means has been
resorted to by the citizens of Post
Falls to stop this business, but with
out success, and they now propose to
stop it by force, if it takes all the
United States officers in the country.
Mr.. Manning has the matter of look
ing after these lumber thieves on the
part of the citizens Of Post Falls, and
he says he will fight them to the Bit
ter end.
Politics are beginning to thaw out
i'll kootenai county after SO long a
spell of political cold weather. That
county, the major said, will take an
active part in the next campaign,
and will roll up more votes than any
other county IN the State.
Major Manning leaves to-day for
his home.

What the Lottery VIII Do and Will
Not Do.
The news fakirs having tired of setting
up imaginary lottery schemes in Nicaragua,
changed their field of operation. The fol-
lowing was recently sent over the country,
among other papers the Brooklyn Standard
Union giving it publication:
HONDURAS REJECTS THE LOTTERY.
New ORLEANS, March S.-The Picayune's
City of Mexico special says: Honduras
has refused concessions to the Louisiana
State Lottery. General Jesus Tolego died
here this morning. Forty-seven Mexican
generals have died since February T.
On being shown the above President Paul
Conrad somewhat Indignantly and very
emphatically declared: 1T is not true that
the Louisiana State Lottery Company has
made application to Honduras. or to any
other foreign country, for lottery privi-
ieges, nor has any such overture been
made on behalf OF this company, it's share
holders or managers.
We shall continue to conduct our busi-
ness here until tho present charter of the
Louisiana State Lottery Company expires
In 1895. Simply that aud nothing more.
