OUR FORESTS.

According to some facts and figures
waentod by Henry Gannett in a
recent issue IN the New York Sun
there is today nearly if not quite as

So, foot on our shore. There are
not o many square miles of mer-
c.a1@..' timber now as then, but
1e~rr.Jorv occupied by growing trees
hab"ut a, extensive as it was four
hundred years ago, and these trees will
IN time grow to size suitable for the
Production Of lumber. Some Of Mr..
Uannetts statements are quite incOn-
>Atent with the general belief that
American forests are giving out. He
says, for instance, that only about two
hundred and seventy thousand square
miles, or less than One-tenth the area
OF the country, is artifcially cleared
land, while to offset this loss there has
N recent years been great extension
OF wooded land in the prairie states as
We'll as in some OF the natural tree
growing states. A table is published
showing the total area and the wooded
area OF each state, the figur having
oeen obtained from reports Of the cen
SaS and agricultural departments, from
omclal surveys and in few cases from
careful estimates. AS grand result
II Is shown that the wooded area in the
United States, excluding Alaska, is
nearly one million one hundred and
'hirteen thousand square miles.

that the electric light was absorbing
or swallowing the moon. They gath
cred in large body at one quarter of
the town and moved upon the plant to
destroy it. 1t was saved only by the

The government the next day selected
several representative Indians, took
them to the power-house, shocked
them severely, then took them out
along the line and shocked them again
with the wires and informed them that
the electric light was an evil spirit, and
that they had better leave it alone.

HERB HOLvERs0E ESCAPES.
A Smart Deputy Takes Him Out For
Drink and an Airing and BE
Walks of in the Dark.

The only conviction at the recent
term of court was that of Herb Holver-
son, of Brnneau upon charge Of grand
larceny, He received sentence of one
and half years 10 the pen, and WAS to
have been taken to Boise on Monday.
Sheriff BalIar.i, having had business
calling him to DeLamar on Sunday, left
bis prisoner in Jail with John Brady in
charge Brady got good deal smarter
than he is wise and in the evening, after
dark, took the prisoner, frst to McCabe
& Murphy's where he threw stiff drink
into him, taking about four fingers him-
self, which made him feel so cheerful
and generous that he concluded TO blow
himself in for oyster stews fer himself
and companion. They went into the
China restaurant where Johnny ordered
the suppers in royal siyls, while Hol-
verson stepped in the back room TO
wash his hands. Holverson did not ap-
parently like the looks OF the soap and
towels, 80 he quietly walked out the
back door and, finding no one to inter-
fere, is still walking, SO far as Brady or
any OF the officials are informed.
Brady's CONSERVATION and disgust at
finding his companion was more fond of
his freedom than of an oyster stew must
he imagined.
Tho only blama which can be laid
upon Sheriff Ballard for this unfortunate
escape is that he should leave such a
smarty in charge Of the Jail. 1t is said
Holverson made some very serious
threats against his father and sister dur
ing the trial and it is feared he may
wreak vengeance on them while he Is
at liberty. Sheriff Ballard is making
every effort be can to recaptnre him.

latter bonded few weeks ago for $780,

When John Bryan bonded the prop
erty he intended to promote il to sale;
but since Colonel Bryan's return from

haYe too good thing to let 60. They
will, therefore, exploit 1t themselves,

a Boise Pair Arrested.

EVANSTON, Wyo., Nov. l2.-W. E.
Holt, of Boise City, has skipped from
there with Mrs. Arbuckle, leaving Mrs.
Holt and two children. They arrived
here to-day. Holt aud Mrs. Arhuekle
were arrested. d.-Evanston dispatch to
Tribune.
All Of these parties are we'll known in
De Lamar. Holt, as an excellent res
taurant man but reckless sport. and
Mrs. Arbnckle, the wife Of an induslri-
Gus carpenter. Holt's wife tears good
reputation and he is the father of two
very bright and pretty little girls. This
graceless pair have been living together
for more than year and should have
been arrested and punished in Silver
City year ago. We hope the Wyom-
ing authorities will give them their
deserts. If Mrs. Holt will give the pos
tai authorities letters said to have been
received by her from Mrs. Arbuckle,
she will give that woman chance to
mediate behind the bars for sending
obcene matter through the mails. Ar
buckle remarked year ago that he had
thought seriously of going cunning for
them but concluded the game was not
worth the trouble it would cost him.

We were promised copy of the re-
port made by the late grand jury for
publication, hut it having failed to reach
us in time, we will simply remark that
the jury was grand jury, with the en-
phasis on grand, and stirred up some OF
the minor county officials with pretty
sharp stick. One clause in it, which we
quote from memory, is to the effect that
if the minor courts would deal with Of
tenders with considerable less leniency
there would be much less work for the
grand jury and the District Court. This
is very true.

If Russia carries out her purpose of
providing herself with good supply of
silver, with the view of displacing. her
paper currency, it will materially effect
the monetary situation. Shonld she be
able to establish and maintain silver
specie payments, her trade with the East
would no doubt be vastly benefited.
Perhaps should such course be adopted
by Russia. England would make haste
to initiate her. There is good reason to
believe that the latter result might en-
SUI, for on every occasion when the
United States has manifested any desire
to approach closer to the other countries
of America by adopting common cir
culating medium British writers have
exhibited alarm, recognizing the fact
thht English trade in the Latin Ameri-
can States might be jeopardized il We
adopted such course.--San Francisco

The Poorman Mines.

The NUGGET expert had he pleasure
OF making tour of inspe ction through
the tunnels upon this famous property
recentIy, and found that considerable
development work bad been done since
he had last seen the property.
1 Tunnel No. 8, usually known as the
0so tunnel, il now in something over
/ 1850 feet, and for he last forty feet is n
a vein OF ore formed by the junction of
the Poorman proper with what is sup-
posed to be the Hancock vein or the
Hidden Treasure. The entire width OF
the vein is fully nine feet and the tun-
mel here is 344 feet from the surface,
giving that depth of backs in virgin
ground. The ore in both the Hancock
ond Poorman parts OF the united veins
is very rich although quite different in
character The porphyry dyke which
crosses the PoormaD, and against which
all the richest shoots Of ore on that
mountain have been found, is still about
100 feet south of the present face of this
tunnel, leading 10 the conclusion that
the shoot they are now in will continue
and grow better until the dyke is
reached. If this conclusion is correct
1t will be safe 10 estimate that this is
one of the greatest shoots of ore ever
found on that famous mountain.
In the Belle Peck tunnel, now in l460
feet, on the west wall of the ledge a
.crosscnt has been run east fifty
feet to fnd the foot wall. All of the
distance the crosscut has passed through
small stringsrs of white quartz, until in
tho last four feet it is all quartz and
rich. The gold in this quartz runs
about Sll per ounce and the ore is very
high. This tunnel is 299 feet lower
than No. 3, 6rst described, aud the face
of the Belle Peck is 800 feet south Of
the face of No. 8. Thus it may be seen
shoots of rich ore have been opened at
two points 500 feet apart, the one 299
feet d eeper han The other The Belle
Peck is 639 feet deeper than the collar
of the old Poorman shaft. Either of
these shoots of ore could very readily
be put in shape for storing so that a
small force of miners could take out ore
enough to keep the mill running.
Three six foot vanners are now at the
Ralph mill to be put in to work these
ores, which are so free that no ANAL
gamators will be used. The ore will be
| frst run from the batteries over copper
plates and then concentrated by the
vanners, making the working of them
very cheap.
Unfortunately these very rich shoots
of ore were not reached or anticipated
in time to lay in sufficient supply of
wood to keep the mill going until wood
can be delivered next summer, and
hence the manager is in no haste to
start up, only to shut down after run
ming couple of months, and we will,
therefore, not be able, probably. to re-
port production for some time to came.
But development work will be cpntin-
ued, and when the mill is once started
the NUGGET expert predicts an output of
bullion that will prove old War Eagle
mountain to be what he has always
claimed it to be, by far the richest
mountain in Idaho.
