Harry Estabrook, of Weiser, has
made several good clean ups this
season in bis placer diggings and has
just sold out his entire interest at a
good figure.
Mr.. Riebold has just made new
discovery near the Little Giant and
has located it under the name of the
Banner lode. He has also just
completed a ditch five miles in
length which he says will give 100
horse power He spoke of utilizing
it for an electric plant should future
developments justify it.
{ Charlie Bemis, who has many
friends and acquaintances around
Weiser, was visited at his Office and
found to be still suffering from the
wound made by ball from John Cox
revolver. His cheek has never
healed up and is constantly emitting
small pieces of bone. What dis
grace that this Cox, who has ruined a
good man for life, should be serving
only a two years sentenced This
tough customer, who is also said to
have murdered man in cold blood
in the Palouse country, should prop
erly be there for life

so scattered over the mountains, and
country newspapers are far from
being sources of such enormous rev.
enue as to admit of their posessors
running around in these high priced
camps and writing up mines on wind
alone. Additional observations taken
while in the camp will be given later
on.
