THE Commissioner of the general
land Office has issued circular con-
frming the right of Idaho to prefer
ence in making selections of land for
sixty days after the filing of the
township plats. During the sixty
days no one shall be permitted to
file on lands subject to selection by
the State, except those whose claims
rest upon actual settlement, and cor
porations holding grants from Con-
gress. The preference right of State
selection was given under act of
Feb. %, 1889, but this did not apply
to Idaho. The Statesman says there
are several interesting points con-
nected with this matter. Idaho was
not granted any lands under the act
of Feb. %, 1889. That was the act
admitting Washington, Montana and
the Dakotas. Idaho's land grant was
made in its own admission act of July
3, 1890. In the act of March 3, 1898
however, our Congressional delegs
ton secured the insertion of Idaho al
one of the States entitled to prefer
ence in making selections.

On last Thursday ws visited the
Lemhi Placer company's diggings on
Kirtley creek. The work under the
personal supervision Of Mr. G. e.
Yates, the manager, is being prose-
cuted in . thorough and systematic
manner, and with all modern ap-
pliances. Two Of tho giants were
being used, the larger one, run with
water from the Carmen creek ditch,
was throwing stream Of 1850 mi
ners inches from . 64-jnch nozzle
with 375 foot pressure and was tear
ing away the bank at . terrific rate.
The smaller giant was run from
the Kirtley creek ditch and was
used merely to increase the volume
of water. This with the ground
sluice makes about 1900 inches Of
water altogether now in use. Some
sixty-fve men are on the pay roll,
the greater number Of whom are en-
ployed in extending one branch Of
the flume some seventy FIVE or eighty
fect up on the south side Of the cut.
When this is completed the third gi-
ant will be set to work, - the water
supply will then be ample for work
on larger scale.
The piping is continued day and
night, the works being lighted BY
electricity, with four large arc lights
of 2,0O0 candle power each.
The ground prospects beyond the
expectations of the management, and
without doubt the company will make
a nice cleanup IS the result of the
seasons work.

A. S. Cummings, who arrived here
two or three weeks ago looking for
work, and went on over to Quartz
burg, returned to this place this week,
and he was i'll town but a short time
when it was discovered that his mind
was off its balance and filed with
hallucinations. He wanted the Sher.
if and a lawyer, saying that he had
family troubles, and members of his
family were after him; also that he
had made an invention and that par
ties were dogging after him to rob
him of it, and that be had written a
book on machinery and was harassed
by men who were endeavoring to get
it away from him. He said he could
not see these men, but could plainly
hear them talk. He was brough,
before Judge Hart and Drs. Zipf and
Newell summoned as experts. Cum.
mings was adjudged insane. He said
he stopped last winter at Salubria
Not much could be learned IN regard
to him. He was at one time in ar
insane asylum in Wisconsin. He i.
about fifty years of age. Sheriff J
A. Lippincott, accompanied by Thos
Crofton, left yesterday with the un
fortunate man, who will I've con
fined in the insane asylum at Black
foot. He is very gentlemanly in hi
manners, and not at all violent.

ED. WoRLD:-The streams of the
valley are very high. The Payette
river and Gold Fork are swimming.
The roads through the valley are
in very bad condition for hauling
heavy loads. We need several coun-
ty roads, great many Of the roads
having been fenced.
Mrs. S. E. Barnes is teaching the

Miss Ella Clark of Baker CITY. Or

The miners on Gold Fork, who are
settlers of the valley, are making
good wages this season.
We hear that B. H. Smith has
closed his school again before the

BANKS and other business houses

the scarcity of money is the result of
the demonetization of silver. 1t has

benefit of millionaire silver miners,
Notwithstanding such millionaires are
not to be found, except in very rare

A CORRESPONDENT of the Salmon
City Recorder says large quantities
of the purest tin in America is found
on Panther creek, in Lemhi county.
1t assays from 81 to 72 per cent. tin.
The ore is float. The prospector who
will be lucky enough to find the ledge
will make fortune. That is a good
field for prospectors, as there is a
large scope of good placer ground on
that creek, and on others in that vi
cinity, and the chances for discover
ing gold veins and big tin mines are
good. That is very inviting field
for the energetic prospector.

Boise STATESMAN: Some weeks
ago the Statesman published an ad-
vertisement from a man in New York
who desires to locate large plant for
the reduction of low grade refractory
gold ores. He desired to enter into
correspondence with parties owning
such properties in order to procure
information upon which he could act
his purpose being to determine wheth-
er the Boise Basin presented the op-
portunity that he sought, and, fur
ther, to be able to put himself imme.
diately in communication with own.
ers upon his arrival here, with some
definite idea of what be could do. He
writes the Statesman that he has no,
received single response to the ad.
vertisement. This seems strange. l,
results from lack of enterprise among
our mine owners. 1t would cost
nothing to give such general infor'
nation as was requested, while il
might lead to important results. This
man represents company that i.
preparing to go into the gold mining
business on an extensive scale; he i!
gathering information about the gole
districts of the United States; he hse
heard of Boise Basin and sought t.
procure Information regarding it; bu
those whose prosperity depends upor
having the country opened up fail t'
take any interest whatever in th'
subject. 1t certainly seems strange

A CASE was tried in the Probate
Court at this place this week, and a
number of witnesses summoned. The
parties to the suit live "down the
creek" between this place and Boise.
One man went on horse hunt for
another man, the lost horses number
ing two. He hunted and hunted,
but found them not. The party of
the first part wss to receive horse
from the party of the second part for
finding the lost two, or for hunting
for the lost animals. That was the
question to be decided. The party
of the first part claimed he was to
receive horse for going to a certain
place up Boise river to look for the
aforesaid lost horses, and the party
OF the second part alleged that he
was to receive the horse if he found
and delivered the two horses to their
owner-the party of the second part
The case was continued through parts
OF two days and many witnesses ex,
amined. The decision of the Court
was that as the party of the first par,
THE horse hunter-failed to find
and deliver the horses, he had not
earned the horse in dispute, it having
been proven to the satisfaction of the
Judge that the agreement was that
he was not only to hunt for, but find
the horses, and deliver them to the
owner.
