REV. PATRICK MURPHY made a
call on his friends of the WORLD. He
informed US that the State University
of Moscow has 147 pupils and is in a
flourishing condition.. 1t is expected
the magnificent structure will be COM
pleted the latter part of next month.
The people of his section, he says,
feel the crushing weight of hard
times. There is scarcely a dollar to
be borrowed, even on the very best
of security. Men there worth thou
sands of dollars in property are actu-
ally unable to secure a dollar and
they see staring them in the face a
strong probability of being closed out
for debts amounting to but few
hundred dollars. One man, worth
$4,000, is unable to borrow a dol
lar. The condition of Moscow and
vicinity describes a condition that
exists all over the country. This con-
dition was brought about primarily
by the scarcity of money, there not
being sufficient in existence to do the
business of the country. The big
banks and bondholders have made
conditions worse than they would
otherwise have been by boarding
money, and this was done for the
purpose of binding the people and
leading them to believe the trouble
was all caused by the present silver
law, the aim being to have this law
repealed to make the stringency still
worse. The scarcer money is, the
better for bondholders and big banks
1t is scarcity of money they want,
because scarcity increases value.
They fatten on conditions that bring
the masses to poverty.

Atlanta District.
KetcAum Keyst one.

After more than months sojourn,
R. B. Browne, lessee of the Last
Chance mine at Atlanta, left Ketchum
on Tuesday to look after his interests
at the mine and get out another ship
ment of select ore that he intends
marketing here this fall yet. Frank
Turner's packtrain, with carrying ca
pacity of $4,000 pounds, has made
several trips for Mr.. Browne, taking
winter supplies over and bringing
rich selected gold ore back, the last
shipment of which, marketed through
the medium of the Ketchum Sampling
Works snd First Bank of Ketchum,
netted Mr.. Browne $5,230.59, which,
with $4,000 previous results of gold
bullion and other select ore shipments,
makes upwards of $4,000 realized so
far this season from the work of six
men in the mine. Mr.. Browne is a
close, keen manager and the fact that
his product comes and his supplies
are procured here argues volumes
in favor of Ketchum as depot and
business point. Upon his return
Mr.. Browne may be detained until
after the December term of the Dis
trict Court, prosecuting the HALEY
Sampling Works for the $4,000 worth
of stolen Last Chance ore.

S"uounAI, = resident OF
franklin Meadows, on Bear river,
had rather . peculiar experience one
day last week. 1t was about dusk.
and ne had gone out to milk the cows
that had come up from the meadows.
After driving them into the corral he
put up the bars and commenced milk
ing, paying no particular attention to
an animal that stood watching every
movement he made. As soon as be
had done milking one COW he started
for another. Before be could reach
her he received terrific butt in the
back that sent him sprawllng. 1t
dazed him for . moment and scram-
bling to his feet he made rush for
the fence. Before he could reach it.,
however, the animal intercepted him
and there he stood face to face with
an enormous buck moose ready to
make for him at the slightest move
Mr.. MendonhalI shouted for help and
one of his men came running out
from the house to know what was the
matter. A hurried explanation was
made and the man ran to get gun.
Before he could return the moose took
after Mr.. Mendonhall again; there
was no chance for retreat and he was
compelled to meet his antagonist with
milk pail, his only weapon of de-
fence. As the beast came within
striking distance he let fly with the
milk pail, striking full in the forehead.
This checked for an instand the mad
rush of the moose, of which Mendon-
hall was not slow to take advantage
and quick as fash he closed in up
on it. Grasping firm hold upon the
large fat horns he threw his whole
weight upon them. This brought the
moose to its knees but in a second it
was up again and started off on trot
about the corral with Mendonhall
dangling in front. The animals Wis
ion was completely obstructed and
not being any too considerate of the
feelings of the obstructionist it would
butt up against the fence with force
sufficient to break every bone in
Mendonhall's body, and would surely
have done so in few moments long,
er. The timely arrival of the hired
man with gun ended Mr.. Moose in
short order. 1t is gratifying to know
that Mendonhall is alive to tell the
tale and the above is synopsis of
the affair as told by Commissioner
Lapfray to a reporter of the Enter
prise. The moose dressed nearly
500 pounds, and it is the largest ever
captured in that country.-Idaho En-
terprise.

A coNGREssNASb LETTER.
Mixed in the great pile of bread
fund letters, between childish scrawls
and up-and-down business checks,
came q Congressman's contribution
yesterday. When = man starves
in far-away Wyoming it is because
there isn't anything to eat in that
mans neighborhood, say within fifty
or sixty miles. A Wyoming Con-
gresham, who reads the World, is
struck by the paradox of men and
women starving in . rich city. He
does what he can to help. There
ought to be more like him. Here is
his letter:
"Inclosed find a warrant by Ser
geant-at-Arms of House of Represen-
tatives for $50, which hasten to con-
tribute to the World bread fund,
hoping that it may help feed some of
the hungry and starving women and
children-the innocents who are suf-
fering under the unwise policies
forced upon the country by the inf1u-
ence of organized rapaciousness.

The Star valley people have great
reasons to be proud of their Repre-
sentative, Congressman Coffeen. In
more ways than one is he proving
himself worthy of the trust reposed
in him.

Steve Smith made proposition to
the directors of the Boise County
Mining company when they had, after
paying for their new machinery,
something like 1880 on hand, to
put on . boring machine and 60 down
100 feet, from the bottom of the
shaft, for $500, and if gravel WAS not
struck at that depth, TO bore another
one hundred feet for a per foot.
The stockholders knew nothing Of
this proposition until the money was
all gone. Long before the funds
were exhausted individual stockhold-
ers begged of the Directors-in fact
almost implored them, to cease work
in the shaft, knowing full we'll what
the final result would be-a waste of
money and nothing to be accom-
plished. Water flowed into the
shaft and water flowed out through
the water columns of the pumps and
that was all that was accomplished
with the exception of taking out dirt
that had sloughed in, re-timbering in
places and sinking three feet in new
ground. The money was raised for
the purpose of sinking the shaft on
down, and for this reason the Di-
rectors did not care to stop this work
and put on boring machine, and
besides they felt sure that ten or if
teen feet, or less, would reach gravel,
and they continued to hope that
everything would work smoothly and
depth be attained. There is no use
to try to raise money again to put IN
to the shaft unless it is first demon
strated that pay gravel exists below.
There is but one way to settle this
question, and that is by boring. If
pay is struck by this means stocks
will sell easily and at good figures,
and money can be secured to go on
down, no matter what the depth.
With an enlarged shaft and pumps of
adequate capacity the shaft could be
pushed on down. With the depth
that would have to be sunk known,
to foot, something like a correct
idea of the machinery necessary
could be formed. With a knowl-
edge of what would have to be done
there is foundation to work on in
determining how to prepare to do it.
The expense of boring would be very
small, and every other means
of solving the problem of pay or no
pay is now entirely out of the ques-
ton. The first intention of the COM
pany was to bore, and the only thing
now is to get back to the first idea
and act on it, or abandon the matter
altogether. We had talk with Mr..
Smith few days ago and he said he
would put in a bid to do the work,
but could not now do it as cheaply as
he would have done when he made
the first proposition, as bis mining
business demands his attention and
his time is of course of more value to
him now than then. Mr.. Perron, of
Squaw creek, has a machine, and il
would be good idea to correspond
with him, also. There are many men
in this county who would invest, to
bore, who would not buy a nickel's
worth of stock with the money to be
put in shaft. A meeting of stock
holders ought to be called to consult
in regard to boring aud to devise
ways and means for raising the money
necessary to bore in two or three diff
ferent places in case no pay is struck
in boring from the bottom of the
shaft.
