Norman Young, of Centerville,
through an uncomfortable propensity
for joking, has created quite sensa-
ton in Ada county, and there was
wild commotion among the Demo-
Gratis and Peoples party men, and
Norman, the Republican Registrar of
Centervllle precinct, was denounced
in the highest style of the art of de-
nunciation. See article from the
Populist headed "Partisan Hullaba-
loo;" also mention of the matter In
the Nampa Leader. Mr.. Stoner
wrote to Ex-Governor Stevenson, de-
failing the alleged dark and damna-
BILE deed of the reckless Norman, the
young merchant prince of Centervllle.
Norman looks SO innocent, earnest
and incapable of prevarication,
stretching the truth or perpetratlng
the very smallest kind of joke, that
Mr.. Stoner placed implicit confidence
in the truthfulness of his solemn state
ment that he had registered all the
Republicans and was lighting out Sc
as to avoid registering number OF
Democrats. For further light on the
subject read our letter from Center
vile.

Sam Stoner, the efficient assistant
manager of the Falk- Bloch store at
this place, took a short vacation last
week, to Idaho City, in Boise coun-
ty. On his return home he had as a
companion in the stage Norman
Young, who is the register of voters
at Centerville. He informed "Sam"
confdentially that he left home be-
cause seven Democrats wanted to
register, and as he had recorded all
the Republicans he would not get
back in time for the Democrats.
"Sam," being loyal Democrat, i'm
mediately on his arrival home put
himself in communication with the
Democratic Central Committee,
notifying them of the intended
fraud, but Mr.. Young's we'll known
reputation for honesty and his love
of fun made the joke more prominent
than it otherwise would have been.
Gov. Stevenson and others enjoyed a
hearty laugh at Stoner's verdancy.
Mr.. Young returned home Wednes-
day, and there will be ample time for
all the Democrats to have their names
recorded. Stoner will be little
more careful in the future before he
reveals great secrets that are liable
to defeat the Democracy of the State.

SHAFT FULL or WATER.
Pamps and Tools Down In the Hot.
tom. the same as Mcaslnty.

The stockholders of the Boise Coun-
ty Mining Go. felt confident, when an
extra pump was put in their shaft,
that work would go ahead without
Interruption, but they were doomed
to disappointment. With one pump
the only difficulty experienced was
when it became necessary to pack or
lower it. OF course during those
necessary stoppages the water would
rise in the shaft and work would be
delayed until the water could be again
pumped down. The little pump pro-
cured at the Washington mine was of
sufficient capacity to hold the water,
and when run to its utmost capacity
was able to lower the water a little.
alone. Wednesday morning at 6
O'Clock something or another went
wrong, the little pump was soon un-
der water and little later OH the lar
ger one was also in the same fix. 1t
is unnecessary to go into details. II
is sufficient to say that the Superin-
tendent, Mike Gallagher, had been
sick for several days and was unable
to be on hand. Mike was up both
day and night on the start, and over
worked himself, knowing that with
only one pump it must be kept in
good running order. Both pumps,
tools, etc., are in the bottom of the
shaft, and will remain there until mex,
spring. Another difficulty expert
enced was in keeping up steam. Ev-
erybody here favors getting in first
class boiler next year, and brand
new pump Of larger capacity. Witt
the disadvantages the company ha.
been laboring under, it was no grea,
misfortune that the shaft filled up
But everybody was getting anxious
as the bottom of the shaft showed in
dications of gravel, the sand bein.
coarser than usual and filled witt
washed pebbles. The stockholders
as we'll as the miners, felt con6den
that five or ten feet more would hav
reached gravel. With proper ma
chinery the water will be no draw
back. If pay is struck it can be util
lied for washing the gravel, and thi
will compensate the company for th
extra expense of running the pumps
The shaft, by measurement with
tape line, is 1l2 feet deep. 1t wa
expected from the start that grant
bedrock, on which the gravel lies,
there is gravel, would be struck q
100 or 130 feet deep. If there

rich, without doubt. There hs
never yet been failure to strike ric
! gravel between false and grant
bedrock. The last place tested W;

The Salmon City Hydraulic Miner
says work has already begun in grad
ing for a railroad from Butte to the
coast via Salmon City. The Miner
SAYS this new creation comes from
the influence and rustic of one man
Major w. S. Patterson the man
who made Kirtley creek what it is
to-day, the greatest mining PROPOSE
ton in Idaho. The placers discov-
cred by the Major are underneath a
false bedrock, which a Salmon City
man described to the WORLD, and he
pronounces it exactly like that of this
place. Kirtley creek is welcome to
the palm until the Boise County Min
ing company reaches gravel. Then
Kirtley creek will have to move down
from the head of the class to second
place, and Major Patterson will re-
gret that he did not delve through
the false bedrock of Boise Basin, in
stead of at Salmon City. We don't
doubt that he has a big thing there
but just wait The Boise County
Mining company will some day as
tonish the world.

companying the bill says congressional
authority is necessary, because of the
law forbidding territories to incur an
indebtedness exceeding 4 per cent. OF
the assessed valuation of the property
in the territory. The report says Ari-
zona's assessed valuation in only $780,
600, 900, but its taxable value really is
$50, 100000.
CUSTOMS DRAWBACKS.
A statement was laid before the house
today from the commissioner of customs
showing that $l,711 ,061 drawback was
allowed by the government on tin cans.
etc., manufactured from imported tin
plates and exported from Octo-
Der l, 1890, to December 81,
1891. Another statement elbows
that the amount of the drawback al
lowed on imported salt used in curing
meat, exported from October /, 1890, to
December 81, 1891, aggregated $92, ,201.
Included in a third statement was q
table giving the quantity and value of
salt imported and withdrawn from ware
houses, for the purpose of curing fish,
the duty on which is remitted under
the act OF October l, 1889. The quantity
aggregated 112,995,60 pounds, valued
at $102, ,S56.
