The main Elk creek was located
last month for placer mining pur-
poses for length of 500 feet by
800 feet wide, commencing above
the Buster mill and running to the
Dwyer meadows. The claims in
clude part of the Young and Itch
field ranches, but the locators, Of
course, only claim the usual mining
rights. This claim is known as the
" Parker Placer" and it's locators
are: II. J. Trull, Il. A. Mcpherson,
Hugh Mcpherson, w. r. Howe,
Lewis Martin, w. j. Wilson, A. f.
Parker and j. Parker. The claim
has an extent of 100 acres. Anoth-
er claim of equal extent located by
other members of the same compa-
ny is the " Hillside Placer" which
extends mile long by I mile wide
along the hill on which the China
graveyard is located. The locators
are w. Fl. Hill, II. III. Rogers, c. j
Richardson, James A. Mitchell, A
Il. Parker, j. Parker and S. w
Smith. Good prospects have beer
obtained on these claims, and it ha,
remained unworked and vacant al
these years because placer mines
in this country in the past have
been worked by individuals VIII,
have not had the means to open W
deep claims and work them ON
large scale. Nowadays we put $40
600 or $4,000 into a claim an,
cleanup that much every year
where the old-time miner with hi
sluicc boxes and shovels could'n
make wages. Matters are not We
ripe for publicity to be given to TIL
proposed plan of development, bu
as a member of the company W
can safely say that it promises BIZ
things to Elk City.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Senator Norris Writes Concern
ing Pending Legislation
at the State Capital
Boise CRY, Feb. 5, 1893.

Boise CRY, Feb. 5, 1898.
FRIEND PARKER:
The Allison bill to better define
the boundary line of Washington
county in its provisions asks that
1t be set back to provisions of the
act of tenth session, which provides
that the initial point of starting
shall be at the lower end of Little
Salmon meadows, which when cor
rectly construed will place it at the
timber line just below the Warm
Springs and about six miles south
Of the head of the falls, as now con-
strued. The constitution positive
ly fOrbids any division unless by
vote Of the people, (see Article
XVIII, Sec. 2, under the title
County Organizations" page AID.
Now under this provision the act
of the last legislature fixing the
line at head of upper falls is void
and made without authority if it
changes the initial point in the
line dividing Idaho and Washing
ton counties.
l think in two years, if the wag-
on road is constructed, they will
want to organize new county out
of Little Salmon, Seven Devils and
Rapid river, making Salmon river
the line. think Joseph and Dou-
mecq plains ought to belong to Ida
no county and should remain part
of it.
1 will say that Washington coun-
ty should be content to remain as
she is and not try to grasp any
more of Idaho county's territory
after having assisted in robbine
her of all the upper Wciser, Indian
Valley and Council Valley, which
was attached, through the manip
ulatiOn of Mr.. Catalan, to Ada
county, leaving Idaho county t.
pay about $1,000 costs on tax judg
ments for taxes levied in that
country. No part of either take,
Except about s37) or costs was ev
cr paid Idaho county. Again, a
the 10th session, the county o
Washington was organized, takin,
strip of about 40 miles more, in
Guiding the Little Salmon Mead
ows, from IdaRo county withou
giqing one dollar in consideration
Of said territory. Now are the,
nor yet content? or do they wan
the earth?
We entertain no feelings of en-
nifty against Washington county
Ada county or Mr.. Catalan for al
that has been taken from us in tn
past. and justly think we have bee
i'll treated. But the wise provis
ions OF the constitution will be on
safeguard in future. Mr.. Girtor
Mr.. Stephens and myself will unit
our strength in guarding the inter
csts of Idaho county. As the mat
ter now stands can see no cause fo
alarm.
The apportionment bill and sui
stitute l offered in senate som
time ago lays waiting the creatin
OF new counties. Think we wi
revise the bill and allow all cour
ties only one senator each, an
making tho basis in the house $
rs to just allow Nez Perez and Ida
no to squeeze in with two member
each. Think we will pass sepa
rate and distinct representation fc
each county. House have a hi
for that purpose now and no on
advocates joint representation.
Think the agricultural colleg
will go to Idaho Falls, if anywher
this session, but think it doubtft
if located at all. They are tn
strongest by far and have passed
through the house.
Respectfully,
b. +. MORRIS.

A letter from b. f. Davis, now at
Richmond, Mo-, says: 1.-The great
newsgiver of Idaho county arrives
every week and is the first paper
we read. Everything here is in a
hourishing condition and trade is
moving on nicely but still, | like
the west. | am more than ever
convinced that the one thing lack
ing on Camas prairie-a thing to
which | have always been accus-
toned, and which to me is indis-
pensible-is railroads. A railroad
to Camas prairie will bring you
men and money, develop your re-
sources and put new life and energy
into the people. 1t is hard for me
sometimes to realise that l made a
living for five years so far from the
railroad. The horse is not in it on
this side of the Rockies. The A.
merican people want something
faster. Idaho horses are selling in
this country from twenty to forty
dollars. We are all blest with good
health and cheap peanuts. The
boys are going to school. The kind
ness of Missourians cannot be ex-
celled by any people in the world.
To say that we have had a good
time and been we'll treated does not
begin to express our feelings"
The letter concludes with a recital
of the beastly democratic majorities
given to Cleveland in Old Missouri
last November.

MR.. PIERCE DECLINES.
HE WILL NOT DISCLOSE THE
COMPANY'S PROPERTY.
The Negotiations for the Sale to the
City Not Progressing With Asy
Degree Of Haste-Yester-
days Conferences.

Yesterday was a day of conferences
between the water committee OF the city
council and Mr.. Peirce of indianapolis.
AS result Of the talks there seems to
be less chance than ever of an under
standing upon the proposed purchase of
the water works system by the city.
In the morning Mr.. Peirce sent word
to Chairman Munson of the committee
that he would like to see them. He
found Mr.. Innes, Mr.. Campbell and City
Engineer Dockweiler, and they pro-
ceeded to the New High street Office of
the company.
The object of the committee being to
get statement of the nature and de-
tails of the plant. the conversation was
principally directed to that end.
This Mr.. Peirce failed to give, and it
was agreed to meet again in the alter
noon for a final roundup.
At the meeting late in the afternoon
the same gentlemen were present, and
Mr.. Peirce definitely declined to 60 into
the .jtemized statement of the property
OF the system.
He stated that the committee knew
very we'll in a general way what prop
erty belonged to the central company
and the plants it had absorbed. Upon
the basis of the income of the company
he thought basis should be reached.
As to naming price, he did not feel
like saying, any more than had been
said, unless the committee would agree
to recommend it to the council.
The members OF the committee talked
to Mr.. Peirce for some time, and got no
nearer to point where price could be
mentioned.
1t was in this attitude when the con-
ended, and there seems no prospect
that any further talks will change
things. III
"A reporter saw Mr.. Innes last night
and he stated that the committee had
done all it could to get statement OF
the property Of the company, but that
they had evidently determined not to
make any.
The committe, he said, was just as
firmly determined not to proceed in the
matter without such statement, and
the result was deadlock.
When asked about what the committee
would recommend at tomorrow's council
meeting Mr.. Innes said that it had not
yet been determined. He did not see
that they could do anything except re.
port what had taken place.
A prominent city official, in talking
about the negotiations yesterday after
noon, said that it did not look to him as
If Mr.. Peirce was very anxious to make
the sale to the city. They were very
willing, it seemed to him, to 60 along
for the four years yet remaining of tie
franchise, aud receive the grincome to
accrue, when negotiations would then
be ia order. The city, he said, would
find it very difficult to duplicate the
present system.

TWO SPECIMENS.
Samples of Some Kinds of Visitors 10
tho Chamber Of Conmerce.

Samples of Some Kinds of Visitors to
tho Chamber of Commerce.
The following little story is speci-
men OF what the chamber OF commerce
officials have to contend with, and also
shows some kinds OF people there are in
this world.
Recently letter was received at the
chamber from man IN New England,
who is also we'll known in this section.
He owns about 20 acres of fine land set
with orange-b bearing trees. Basides
this, he has investments in the cast, all
amounting to about s50, 900.
In his communication he stated that
the chamber probably received in its
exchanges q certain weekly horticultural
paper OF Riverside. Well, ne continued,
he supposed when they were kept cer-
tain time the copies were thrown into
the waste basket. 1t was shame, he
thought, for such a fine paper to be
wasted, go he most respectfully requested
the chamber to send him the old num-
bers instead OF casting them away. In
closed we're six J. cent paper wrappers
addressed to himself He had esti-
mated, he said, that each one would
carry three papers. 80 the ak would
keep him supplied for a while.
After reading the communica-
ton and rejecting upon the ut
ter magnanimity OF some eouls,
and estimating that the fellow could
save about 80 cents the secretary replied
with apparent innocence that he had
just received Mr.. ---'s favor and had
sent it to the editor of the desired paper
who would probably attend to him.
In fact it ia very possible that when
the New England Riversider receives
the first copy of the paper it will be a
marked one with a pleasant reference to
his thrifty self.
Another individual of the same stamp
was also encountered recently.
He was kindly gentleman, and walk
ing into the secretary's Office introduced
himself as the mayor of a certain town
in Iowa.
II thought would come in and get
you to give me some fruit. There is
some very nice fruit in the hall and l
want some," he continued.
WELL" was the surprised reply
what did you want with it,"
why, to eat it,"
THAT fruit is sent to US to be exhib-
tied and not eaten. But Just below is a
fruit stand that has better stuff than we
do. Here, take this Is cents and pro-
cure yourself some with the compli-
ments of the cham ber."
Hurried and embarrassed exit of the
mayor from Iowa.
