Boston Gets a Literary Judge.

Wednesday seems to have been very
awful day in Boston. The beans are often
warmed over on the spider" for Friday
morn. but why should Wednesday be- such
bad day. A man Of the name Of ROBERT
GRANT became Judge Of the Suffolk Court
OF Probate and Insolvency on that day. We
are willing to leave 1t to large and excited
collection OF New Englanders. including

Of the Hon. ROBERT GRANT to the seat OF
judgment in Probate and Insolvency should
not be regarded as boon and desire. Mr..
ROBERT GRANT has been literary charac-

The Hon. ROBERT GRANT Is q lawyer and

and hopes ran high in Ruthburg in
1885, when the Heath Mining COM
pany brought their ten-stamp mill,
roasting plant and concentrators into
the then booming camp, and all had
confidence that Ruthburg was dess
tined to step at once to the front as q
mining camp. But, as in hundreds
of other cases, a mistake was made,
and in trying to treat smelling ores
by the roasting process, total fail
ure was made A few years after
wards Ferdinand Alers leased themine
and mill, and having taken out a
large lot of sorted ore, thought he
could make the mill pay for a time
and made the attempt. Disappoint-
ment and burdens of debt crowned
his efforts. He ran so far behind
that, in the hope of being able to
make some kind of deal with the
plant to partially save himself and
creditors, he bought it at sheriff sale
in 1891 for 81, 700 The present sale
keeps up the plants reputation as a
losing proposition for its possessors,
as Mr.. Alers will never be able to
come out even on the remainder.

A sale has just been consumated
by which Geo. w. Robinson, of Den

known Heath mill at Ruthburg, and
for the nominal sum of 81 200 secures
the best part of machinery that cost
81, 600, leaving the balance prac-
tically worthless. Mr. Robinson
has purchased the Pelton power, bat

Jake Riebold has been in from
Warrens a week or more to receive
the new hosting machinery that will
be put on the Little Giant, and start
it out. The whole outfit arrived from
Denver last Friday and was loaded
on four wagons. The Walker boys
have contracted to deliver the ma
chinery safe, in Warrens, for which
they are to receive $3.50. The boiler
is somewhat unweildy, but the boys
think they can put it through without
upsetting. If the outfit is not put
into the camp this fall, the boys only
get $3.50, therefore they are anxious
for bad weather to hold off and not
catch them in the mountains, as that
would force them to lay over until
next summer.

Parties have been running off cattle
in Middle valley and putting stock
men to much trouble and expense to
recover their stock. Keithley was in
Weiser Sunday on his way to Sand
Hollow to recover some of his that
had been stolen Geo. Nesbit notified
him that parties were encamped there
with 80 head of Middle valley cattle.
Such thieves are having little too
soft thing; if they get away with
the property, they are gamers; if the
cattle are recovered, they generally
manage to slip away and no harm
done; if they are caught, they are
given warm quarters and well fed all
winter at the expense of the taxpayers
from whom they are stealing, and
generally get free at the spring term
of court If a few of this gentry
could stretch hemp it would cause a
suspension of such deviltry.

WARRENS.

Hon. E. B. True has arrived in
the city from Warrens. He went in
from HALEY several weeks ago, Wis
iting several intervening mining dis
tricts. Mr. True reports the mines
about Warrens looking well, though
operations are restricted because of
the lack of means among owners for
working their properties properly.
The camp is far removed from all
supply points and it is difficult to get
in ordinary freight or machinery.
The road from Weiser is fairly good,
but already the summit is covered
with a blanket of snow. Ex-Gov-
ernor Wiley has gotten his property
in shape to work. He has prepared
everything for the winters operations
and will himself winter in Boise. =

The outline of a plan for new
national party, the outgrowth of the
pan American bimetalic convention,
recently held in st Louis, Mo-, has
been published. Free silver is to be
the issue, and it is hoped to draw all
the free coinage supporters from the
old parties. A convention is to be
held at Atlanta, Ca, in December, il
is said, at which permanent organi-
zation will be effected.
Looking at it from a postal stand
point, enlarged free delivery, or any
thing like universal free delivery, will
have to be postponed until there arc
better facilities of communication
through the rural and sparsely settled
districts. The experiments that We
have made in the smaller towns and
villages have proven the practicability
of greatly extended free delivery, but
without good roads it must necessa
rily be limited to the small towns. =

When hay was selling for SO in

ed to sell for less than "a and 81. so a

went to Boise valley taking money
away from here and spending it there
and leaving farmers here in possession
of their hay and no money. This is
not saying that the hay was not worth

Casting Great Statues

Sdglmayer, a German goldsmith in the
first part OF this century, having an am
bition TO attempt larger works than any
he had accomplished, went 70 Naples IN
order to see the casting Of Canoyas statue
of Charles III, but was denied the sight OF
certain secret technical processes Sugl-
MAYER found them out for himself never
theless. and as soon as he went home
made his first experiment on statuette
of Venus Many delays occurred, and
the excitement increased as the end drew
near By some mistake one of his assist
ants poured his molten metal into the
airhole. Then the casting came to a
standstill.
The crowd OF lockers on writes the
poor founder in his diary, ''stood first
dump about me and then slipped out one
by one and left me with my pain"
In q month a second casting was be-
gun and failed. With unbroken courage
he begun the third cast, and on Christ
mas eve the metal was again poured in.
1t ran into the mold and spurted joy
fully out at the air hole.
"Our Joy knew no bounds" he de-
clares. I'VE raised a loud cry Of JOY
and embraced and kissed each other.

4 Town In Pawn.

1t may not be generally known that
the little seaport town Of Wismar, ii the
Baltic, is virtually in the same position
as Montague Tigg's shirt-narnely, at
the pawnbroker's. 1t was in 1903 that
Sweden pawned the town 10 the duchy OF
Mecklenburg for a round sum ofmoney. 1t
was then stipulated that the town should
be restored TO Sweden at the end Of a
century, provided the sum lent, together
with interest, were paid back TO Neck
lenburg.
This sum is now said to amount to sew
eral hundred million marks, and appar-
emily there is little chance of Wismar
being able 10 pay it at the date fixed.
This singular treaty has lain dormant in
the archives OF the municipality ever
since It was made up TO the other day,
when, apropos Of the concession Of some
land 70 the custom authorities, it was
exhumed for legal purposes.
