The Minnesota iron mine at
Tower, Mimi, employing 400 men,
was shut down a few, days ago
unfortunately, allowing the shafts
to fill with water. A lot of Italian
and Austrian miners concluded to
have a holiday, thereby Gripping
the operation of the mine. After
ward 915 Italians. and Austrians
stood guard at the shaft OF the
mine to prevent the starting OF the
pumps until the company acceded
to their demands. Shipping was
stopped, and 81 ore trains Of the
Iron Range railroad tied up. When
a lot of "scabs" wilfully undertake
to cripple the operations of a large
mining enterprise like the above, it
would seem that q little "New
Orleans experience" would not be
any too good for them. After all,
these mining companies or any pub
lie corporations deserve but little
sympathy for any losses they may
sustain when they will insist upon
employing these semi-civilized for
ign pauper laborers.

Representative BRYAN, of Ne.
braska, is particularly delighted
over the result of the Minneapolis
convention. He says: "Harrison's
nomination will be especially help
full to the democrats of the west,
because he represents all that is
stalwart in the republican party.
The young men are drifting to the
democracy, and there is nothing
about Harrison to change the drift.
He represents all that is high in
protection and all that is bitter in
craftsmanship. This, together with
the fact that he is opposed to the
west on the silver question, will
make his nomination Of special
advantage to democrats of that
section"

Emmons Blaine.

A sudden thrill of surprise and
of sympathy for the stricken states
man of Maine ran throughout the
entire community when the news
was flashed over the wires that
Emmons Blaine, son of ex-Secre-
tary Blaine, was dead. He died at
his residence in Chicago Saturday
afternoon, June Is. He had been
ill but a few days, and not until
half an hour before HE death was
he thought to be in a dangerous
condition. The immediate cause
of death was blood poisoning re-
sulting from disease of the bowels.
Young Blaine had been in attend
ance at the convention at Mime
apolis, where he was a notable fig
ure in the exciting scenes in con-
nection with his fathers candidacy,
and took his fathers defeat greatly
to heart. He was confined to his
bed shortly after his return home
from the convention, and it is
thought possible that the nervous
strain and excitement be had been
under, followed by HE great disap-
pointment at the result, was the
predisposing cause of the prostra-
lion which ensued. The shock Of
his death was q fearful one to his
parents. Owing to disarrangements
of the telegraph wires, the first in.
timation of his sickness that
reached them was on Saturday
morning. They made immediate
preparations for going to him, but
before they could start the news
came that their son was dead.
The death of Emmons Blaine
revivee the memory in the minds
ofthe public of the two other deaths
in the family of the ex-Secretary
within the time he was q member
Of President Harrison's cabinet.
The first was that of Walker Blaine.
the eldest son, and the one upon
whom his father mostly relied TO
assist him in his numerous affairs.
The other was that of his daughter,
Mrs. Coppinger, who left two young
sons, who have aimee been members
of Mr.. Blaine's family.

/
one, in their opinion, seems most
practicable, and to estimate the
cost of the road by sections not ex.
ceeding ten miles. A report of the
commissioners of all their doinge
is to be submitted to the governot
within fourteen months after their
appointment, and by him to be
submitted to the next legislature.
The report to be in such form and
substance that if approved by the
legislature, then contracts to be
made for the construction of the
road and its branches without any
further survey.
The commissioners will leave
Boise City in a few days intending
to be in the field all summer.
There is no doubt about the in
estimable benefit to be derived from
the construction of such q thor
oughfare as proposed by the law, as
it would open up great mining
region, which at present can only
be reached by means of trails
through the mountains.
While the commissioners are ex-
aiming the different routes, we
would offer a suggestion, that they
take look over the road now in
use from Ketchum, passing through
the upper Salmon river valley and
Stanley basin to Cape Horn, in
Custer county, and from the last
named point view the route to Ban
ner; also to Bear valley through
to Deadwood. From Cape Horn a
road could be constructed at amod-
crate expense to the important
mining districts of Seafoam and
Sheep mountain, distance Of fif-
teen and twenty miles respectively.
By establishing Cape Horn as a
junction, it seems to the writer that
good feasible routes could be select
ed from such a junction to the diff
ferent points contemplated by the
law.
We publish below well-timed re-
marks made to the Statesman, re-
ported by Bert Jones, the author
of the law, and one of the COM
missioners appointed to examine
and locate the state road. MIR.
Jones says: "This road is one of
the greatest enterprises for the state
that has been inaugurated. Work
would hardly commence before
pospectors would rush in and de-
velopment be pushed on many
mines known to be extremely rich.
Stock companies would take hold
of mining properties and as soon as
the road reached Deadwood and
Sheep mountain, machinery would
be shipped in and towns of i'm
portance would rapidly spring up
in the snow-capped mountains of
Salmon river. The increase of the
taxable property would in very
short time reimburse the state for
the outlay. What we want is home
market for every article that il
manufactured and the produce of
our agricultural districts. With
markets for everything the state
must prosper. Business of every
kind will flourish and the demand
for mechanics and laborers be much
greater.
mo country has ever flourished
that was not thoroughly opened up
by being made accessible to the
outside world. The time will surely
come, and not at distant day,
when central Idaho will be reached
by wagon roads that will bring to
the front some of the greatest min
ing districts in the northwest.
Thousands of miners will be en-
ployed in the now isolated and wild
portions Of Boise, Custer, Idaho,
and Shoshone counties. Such q
road will also make travel over the
state much more convenient"

How Chinese Cateh Shrlmn.

"There are some very curious fisheries
carried on by the Chinese on the Pacific
coast" said an officer of the United
States Fish Commission in Washington
recently. "One of the most remarkable
is the catching of shrimp, which is an
important industry in San Francisco Bay
and adjacent waters. These little crus-
taceans upon being captured are taken
ashore and boiled in big iron vats, after
rude fashion, holes being scooped out
of the side of a steep bank for fire.
places, which are built up with stones.
After the shrimp have remained in boil
ing water for ten minutes they are spread
out to dry upon bare ground. One such
shrimp yard at Hunters Point is about
fifteen acres in extent. The Chinese use
brooms, shaped somewhat like hoes, for
spreading the shrimp and to turn them
at the required intervals.
"After being thoroughly dried by ex-
posure to the sun for about five days the
shrimp are crushed by being trodden
upon by Chinese in wooden shoes. This
process loosens the meat from the shells,
which latter are removed by shaking in
basket or by passing them through a
crude tanning mill. Both meat and shells
are then packed in sacks for expectation
to China, where the meats are sold for
food and the shells disposed of as a fer.
tilizer for tea plants, rice and so forth. All
classes of people in China eat the meats,
although regarding them as inferior to
the native shrimp, which are compara-
lively scarce and proportionatel dearer.
Both meats and shells are fed to fowls,
with remarkable egg producing results.
Another interesting fishery prose-
cuted by the Chinese on the Pacific Coast
is for abalones. These beautiful uni
valve mollusks are found along the rocky
shores. at low tide, clinging to the rocks
above the water line. Each shell is
slightly lifted, so that the fisherman eau
thrust a stick under it and pry it off;
but, if alarmed, the animal shuts down
its valve, so that it can only be removed
by breaking it to pieces. The meats are
taken from the shells and boiled on
shore in vats made of sheet iron. Shells
and meats are then packed in sacks and
forwarded to San Francisco, whence
most of the meats are exported to China,
and the shells shipped to France, the
latter being highly valued for their beau

A DnSt DetectOr.

Some curious color phenomena have
been observed by John Aitkin when air
is suddenly expanded, and have led to
the construction of new instrument
called the "koniscope, for roughly de-
termining the amount of impurities in
the air. The instrument consists simply
of an air pump and tube twenty inches
long, provided with glass ends. The
air to be tested is drawn into the tube,
where it is moistened and expanded. If
comparatively few dust particles are
present, say so, 900 cubic centimeter, the
color is very faint, but blue of increas-
ing depth occurs as the PARTICLES increase
in number, becoming very dark blue
with 1000, 900 per cubic centimeter.
The koniscope makes 1t easy to trace the
pollution arising in our homes from
open flames and other causes, and to
separate pure from impure currents in
the rooms. Trenton IN. j. American.

having a serious encounter with bear
the other day. While going to work he
met large bear aud two cubs. The
mother and one of the cubs took to the
woods while the other cub climbed a
small tree. The boy thought to capture
the cub, and climbed up after it, where
upon the cub set up such a wall that the
mother soon returned and started up
after the boy. 1t was now his turn to
wall, which he did quite Justify. Owing
to the smallness of the tree, the bear
could not reach the boy; but the situa-

the interval that elapsed before the ar
rival of the boys father. The old bear
took TO the woods. They succeeded in
capturing the cub by means OF ropes and
