ing death relieved the little girl of her
suffering. This Is the same power on
which Samuel Rothwell's little son
had leg taken Off last summer. The
people of that section censure Mr. Beaslv
very much, considering it criminal
carelessness on his part in leaving the
tumbling rod exposed, and also in al
lowing such a young child to drive the
team.-North Idaho Star.
From all the information we have
the outlook for placer mining is any.
thing but good this season. This in
formation is that there are less than
three feet of snow in Boise Basin,
which would probably mean four feet
or little more in the surrounding
mountains, and that is fully as much
if not little more than can be credited
to the mountains in this region. Here
in ketchum the depth will not exceed
30 inches. This snow fell on unfroZen
ground, and will be absorbed about as
fast as it melts, raising the streames
but very little, which is unfavorable to
localities depending upon placer min
ing for their prosperity. Fortunately,
we OF Alturas county, are not thus sit
uated. Our dependence is upon our
silver mines mainly. Of course there
are placer mines here, but they are few
in number and unusually fortunate in
the matter of a water supply. But I'M
less something is done to advance the
price of silver, the whole state will sui.
fer from the low price of that metal.
Already il is asserted that the shut
down in the Occur d. Alene for the pur.
pose of lowering wages, the mine-Own'
ers being unable to pay going wages al
the present low price of silver, and
there is some truth in this. Notwith
standing the false pretense of protect
ing lead, the silver miner must sell his
product at remunerative price to en-
able him to pay his help remunerativs
wages. The prospect is not sufficient!
encouraging to call for rush of wage
earners into the state just now .-ketch
