1t Applies to Idaho.

"The best things are all around US" is
truth that applies as well to the ma
terial as to the immaterial world. We
make our own heaven or our own hell
every day, though we are all inclined
| to think that something in the future is
better than anything present. We
wander over the hillsides looking for
the greenest and shadiest spots, seeing
them as we think under some tree in
the distance, and when we reach there
and look back we learn that we have
left the best places behind. In youth
we look longingly forward TO manhood,
and with age we look lovingly back
ward to youth. 1t is human nature to
be blind to the good near by.
In no part of the worlds field of work
is this more clearly illustrated than in
mining and prospecting. Most of us
have ssen and taken part in mining ex-
elements in new regions where we
were washing out five, ten, or maybe
twenty dollars worth of dust each day,
when a wild report came OF richer
diggings in the distance; Immediately
a good portion of the workers abandoned
their claims and rushed for the new
region, only to find that the richest and
best spot was left behind. And every
day it is illustrated in every mining
camp. A Ceur d'Alene, Creede, Car
Donate, Cripple Creek or Copper Rock
excitement breaks out, and from every
town and camp men rush to the new
found ElDorado. Ninety y-nine in every
hundred return home satisfied that
what they left is better than what they
sought. But even then they are blind
to the truth that the best things are all
around US.
How often is seen an illustration OF
of the truth in new discoveries! The
Creede mines were found in region
where thousands of prospectors have
tramped over the hills since 1872. Grip
pie Creek has been prospected without
finding it's riches over and over again
during the past 30 years We have
seen Copper Rock and washed gold at
the point score of years ago, and
hundreds of others have done the same
without finding Orphan Boy lodes.
Leadville, the great silver city of the
hills, was mined over and over for l6
years before it's wondrous wealth was
suspected. A hundred thousand pros
pectors during dozen years tramped
over the rich telurides of Boulder
county without knowledge of their ex-
istence. So it is in every old mining
camp. There is wealth yet to be dis
covered, bonanzas yet to be uncovered
and unsupported ore deposits in every
good mining camp in the country. The
best things are all about US and close
by.-Mining Industry & Tradesman.

equal, if not superior to any before en-
countered, is a matter of congratula-
ton. The work is all in virgin ground
and at a considerable greater depth
than before attained in the minei but
tie most important feature of the find
is the fact that the contact between the
porphyry, which oyercaps the granite,
has been reached and the vein contin-
ues in the latter formation larger and
richer than above, thus demonstrating
without doubt that the veins of that
mountain are true fssures and forever
setting at rest the theory advanced by
many that so soon as the contact was
reached they would be entirely cut off.
This discovery cannot fail to be of great
benegt, as it will stimulate other COM
panies to push their work with feeling
of confidence that they will fnd better
things below than in the porphyry for
nation. The company has expended a
vast amount of money without any COM
mensurate return, never failing to meet
all obligations promptly, and have the
best wishes and congratulations of all
on the bright prospect of rich and
speedy reward for their pluck.

The break ers of the law are now In
the hands of the law. Such is the
speedy ending of the trouble In the
Coeur d'Alene Mining District. There
could be no other outcome to the con-
test. When the Union miners resorted
to violence and bloodshed they lost
their case. Whatever sympathy they
NAV have had from the public in the
beginning they have lost by their own
folly. The American people are not oi
two minds on this question. There is
one law for all. Its violators must be
pnnished wherever found. The men
who have destroyed life and property
are malfactors who must be dealt with
as such. 1t is no longer question OF
labor and wages. There is no occasion
for sympathy or sentiment. The pro-
cess of the court is being carried out in
a straight forward and orderly manner
with every assurance that justice Will be
meted out to all alike.-Helena lnde-

Another Pest.

It new seems as if the Gland of the
free and the home of the brave" is to
be afflicted with pest compared with
which the locusts of Egypt fall into in
significance. A weak restriction law,
more weakly enforced, against the land
ing of Chinese on our shores may be
conducive of some good, but just as the
people begin to hope that something
better may grow out of it, we are con-
fronted with another gigantic evil in
the shape of horde of the lowest type
of diseased and degrade ed Japanese who
are swarmiug hither and are more
dangerous and less desirable element
than the Chinese themselves. Just
now the people ofAthe toWns4of Boise,
Nampa, Caldwell and other points along
the Oregon Short Line are excited over
the introduction in their midst of that
most loathsome disease, smallpox, as
result of an influx of these filthy and
disgusting Asiatics, and they are being
driven from place to place. While self
preservation is considered the first law
of nature, it is still not the proper
remedy to drive persons afflicted with
contagious diseases from one town
merely to have them scatter the seeds
of pestilsnce and disease in another.
1t were better at present to safely
quarantine them and thus confine the
disease to as narrow limit as possible
and at The earliest opportunity ship
them back to the land whence they
came. The toilers of the United States
are wondering how long they will be
asked to patiently wait for Congress to
pass and enforce such laws as will re-
Iieve this country from the curse OF
posing as a dumping ground for the
slums and dregs of the old world. Such
action on the part of the law makers
would go far toward settling the labor
troubles that distract the land, and the
party that shall boldly advocate and
carry to successful termination such
measures, will deserve and receive the
enconiumes of the people.

MINING NUGGETS.

James Carolin, Pat and Harry Blake
and Thomas Nicholas, owners of the
Brooklyn group of mines, which joins
the New York claim, of the DeLamar
group, on the southeast, are Justly
happy over strike lately made in q
cross cut tunnel After running tun-
mel 165 feet cross-cut was started, in
which two veins have been cut at a
depth of about go feet from the surface,
the latter of which is 81 feet in width
and samples taken from the entire
vein show an assay value of 1854 in
gold and $125.3 80 in silver, or total of
$289.30 per ton. The owners are all
practical miners and now feel sure they
will be amply rewarded for their per-
sistent toll. They have refused $40,
900 option and are still pushing
their cross cut to iutersect still larger
vein known to exist further on. This
p5erely demonstrates what is generally
believed, that there are many good
things in the DeLamar mountain that
only need development to bring them
to the light of day. 1t is also very
important find in proving the extension
of the DeLamar belt further southeast.

C0MITY OF NATIONS.
The Pratt Case Recalled by Letter
From the Japauese Goyernment.


From the japanese Government.
State Controller Colgan is In receipt of
an interesting letter from Coco Tateno, the
japanese Minister at Washington. inelosing
q draft for S179 Sc.
The letter calls to mind the case of Calvin
c. Pratt, the forger, who few years ago
left this city for Japan because he drew
money on forged checks. Pratt was an en-
gineer and contractor. One day he found
the climate too warm in San Francisco and
sailed away 10 the land of the Mikado.
In Japan he was recognized and his
whereabouts made known to those he had
defrauded. The latter sent detective after
the fugitive. Pratt was arrested in Yoko-
hama and finally turned over to the repre-
sentative of California, although no extra
diti0n treaty existed. He was tried for his
crime and was sent 10 the San Quentin peni-
tentiary.
While he was being held for the authori-
ties the japanese Government lodged and
fed him, and when he was finally taken
back to the United States the treasurer of
the MlkadO rendered a bill OF expenses
against the State of California amounting
TO 92S.24 yen. This was for food, kilograms
and court fees.
In March, 1891. the California State Leg
islalure passed an act REIN bursting his I'm
incurred for the embeZZier. In this act the
amount named was $1,000. but the Treasurer
forwarded $500 %, estimating this amount
as the equivalent OF the yen named in the
bill.
On receiving the money the japanese
Government found that the difference in
exchange between the American gold and
the Japanese ven was 254. 20 yen or 179. 30
This amount has now been returned TO the
State Treasury, with a letter of which the
following in copy:

RAIDING ILLEGAL FISHERMEN.
Deputy Tunstead Arrests Five of Them
at Hnrbor View.

Deputy Fish Commissioner Tunstead is
having lively time in trying 10 compel the
fishermen on the bay to comply with the
State laws. He went out to Harbor View
all by himself on Thursday In search of
licenses and offenders, but met with such
warm reception that he returned without
either. he made second trip there yes

When they reached the beach they en-
countered burIy individual who rejoices

Asked IL be had license to fish, Johnsoni
drew a knife ana rushed at the deputy.
Iunstead was too quick for the fierce fish
erman. and drawing a pistol held him at
bay until Duffy disarmed him. The man
was placed under arrest on charge Of re-
sisting an officer.
Four other fishermen were caught in the
act of violating the law by hauling in all
sizes OF fish in the nets and dumping them
upon the beach. These men gave their
names as Loui Ju6, s. Lamov rite, j. b.

with illegal fishing. All five were escorted

OF the answer" says Judge CARRIER, "are
sufficient TO constitute defense, but aside

While the decision on the other que, tions

appoint receiver, the Judge held that
aside from the error in emitting the item OF
suspense account in their settlement with
Raveley, which they offer to rectify, and
the omission 10 add something to the inter-
est OF Levinson for the goodwill. there is
nothing shown against them calling for an
explanation, except the falling off of profits,
and as to that while their showing Is not
entirely satisfactory il is sufficient to rebut
the idea of fraud.
There was also some confusion in the
figures relating to the amount of indebted
ness Of the firm at the time of the death of
Levluson; but in the absence of a plain
showing of fraud or insolvency the mani
fest injury to business of the extent and
character involved here by the appointment
