Mysterious Occurrences.

An old resident of Idaho County
writes us to know if anything has
ever transpired in relation to the
Hauser and Donovan matters,
which at one time created much
speculation on the part of the resi-
dents of this community. Nothing
has ever been developed that we
know of. The facts in these cases
are as follows
During the Indian war of 1877 a
man by the name of Hauser was
wounded in an engagedmienit. With Wit
ms II indians. and later died from
the effects thereof. He was known
to have had between $4,000 and
$4,000 in money with him at the
time of his death, and the fact that
the money was never found led to
the impression that those who got
away with the funds fastened his
death. This occurred at Mt.Idaho.
The other affair referred to, relates
to an old one-eyed Irishman
named jerry Donovan, who was
always supposed to have had 5000
on his person, who unaccountably
disappeared from Mt. Idaho and
has never since been heard of. He
is supposed to have been murdered
and some human remains that were
rooted up by hogs from shallow
grave in the rear of one of the ole
buildings in the town of Mt. Idaho
some years later We're credited witt
being all that was mortal of pool
old Jerry. These mysteries were
never cleared up, nor was any fuss
or investigation made into the cir
cumstances Mt the time or since
There are some who affect t,
believe that the alleged murders
still lives in the immediate vicinit,
Of the alleged crimes, and that tn
town itself can never thrive unit

are either revealed or avenged

BIG BOOM ON THE WAY.

Spokane Chronicle.
A transfer of one-half interest of
the Crooked placer claims has been
consummatcd by agreement where
by Walter II. Hill of this place has
agreed with Chester b. Davis to
form n Joint stock company with
capital stock of 100000. Hill
is to receive 100000 in stock as
compensation. This agreement is
to be fulfilled in the year 1893.
This company is known as the Elk
Mining Co. and the stock will be
floated in Chicago.
$. w. Smith, Joseph Shoner,
Matt Laur and Frank Bush are
communicating with Hill and Dav-
is to sell their placer claims in the
vicinity of Crooked River for a
handsome sum. This transaction
has created quite a sensation in
camp, as the Crooked river coun-
try lies about ten miles from Elk
and is very rich in both quartz
and placer. Here lies the Cleve-
land group of quartz mines. Ma
than Smith the discoverer of Flor
ence, Idaho, has large interests in
this vicinity.
The report is current that the
Red River Mining company will
ship in two more dredges to work
their placers on Red river. The
one operating at present there has
proved success so far.
The commissioners and engineers
are at present looking over the
wagon road as surveyed by the
county commissioners, if it is ac-
copied by them the work on the
road will progress rapidly and the
long talked of wagon road from
Grangeville to Elk will be ar
assured fact and the looked foi
boom will be here.

Eik CitV Trip.

The editor returned from his Elk
City trip saturday, and although
not in on business connected with
the paper, he succeeded in adding
a goodly list of new subscribers to
the already large number in that
camp. He reports Elk City as ripe
for active development as soon as
the wagon road is built; and says
the Clevelend quartz on Relief
Creek is a standard property and
the best frce-milling proposition in
the camp. As soon as the financial
depression eases up the company
will make strong effort to have a
5-stamp mill and complete equip
mont erected at the mine and pro-
coed to pound out $3.50 in gold
bullion per day. The lower tunnel
is in 40 feet and has Is feet fur
Their to run to hit the ledge. The
vein is exposed by sluice cuts, tun-
nels, and prospect shafts for more
than 1000 feet with good ore all
the way along. If this property
were in any other camp the coun-
try would go wild over it but Elk
City somehow has not yet got a
good grip on the ear of capital.

idaho County Visitors Gire their
Impressions of the Big ShOW.
CHICAGO. I'LL,

July Is, 1893.
In keeping with my promise l
must this evening write the FREE
Press note on the Worlds Fair.
/ have been on the Fair grounds
every day for a week, and amid a
constant throng of 100000 people
one really hears expressions of APP
probation, and EXPLANATIONS of
surprise from every nationality I'M
der the sun ; and let me say just
here, that though the United States
are youthful in years they are Sc
cond to none in exhibits. 1t seems
to be the general impression that
Uncle Sam is acquitting himself in
a most creditable way; he makes
an American feel proud of his
fatherland. The South American
Republics are here with splendid
exhibits, fully demonstrating the
American idea, and no doubt win
ming for themselves a large immi-
grafton.
| have watched, with much in
terest, the exhibits from New South
Wales and 1 do certainly think it
is the most extensive and varied
display of any foreign country; one
who goes through all the buildings
on the grounds can not help but
notice it.
Germany has an interesting and
most wonderful display in the Sci
ences, Manufacturing and the Lib
eral and Fine Arts, and he who
comes here, can ill-afford to neglect
examining this exhibit.
Now a word for Idaho, and be-
fore proceeding allow me to say fol
the benefit of the readers of the
PRESS, who may have read the
Boise Sentinel of the 9th inst. that
| do not see Idaho's exhibit in the
same light as that brother does
and besides, / do not think the re-
marks just to the people of Idaho
who have so industriously, by Their
money and their time, prepared
this handsome exhibit. Idaho has
certainly done herself credit, ant
none of her citizens need bt
ashamed in Chicago to say he i:
from The Gem of the Mountain.
Her Fruit exhibit, her Mineral ex
hibit and her Forestry exhibit, pro
woke favorable comment every
hour in the day. Her building il
unlike anything else here, and il
indeed an attractive place.
No one can get a conception o
this Fair from simply reading ant
hearing of it; ii is opportunity of ;
lifetime, and can poorly afford tc
miss it. AS | heard Senator Pal
mer, of Michigan, say the Other
day: at is beyond description
there is nothing with which TO com
pare it, it is the greatest thing thai
has ever been in the world, and
perhaps will have no superior for t
hundred years hence"
With good wishes to the PRES
and its readers,
| am respectfully,

Mr.. Preston, acting Director Of
the Mint, has prepared a table Of
the monetary systems and approx
innate stocks Of money in the ag-
gregate and per capita in the
principal countries of the world.
This table shows that the aggre-
gate stock Of gold is S., 5,5S2, 2,605,000y
the aggregate stock of sFiver is
S4,O42, 100000; and the aggregate
uncovered paper is S2,e35, $4,000.
The stock of gold possessed by the
principal countries is given as fol-
lows;
United States, s6O4,OOc,OOO;
Great Britain, s550,OOO,0OO;
France, SsOO,OOO,OO0; Germany,
S6O,OO0O,O0O; Russia S25O,OOO,OOO.
The silver stock Of these same
countries is given as follows:
United States, S615, 100000; Great
Britain, slOO,OOO,OOO; France,
S7OO,OOO,OOO; Germany, S2ll,OOO,-
600; Russia, s50,OOO,O0O. This
stock of silver is divided by Mr
Preston into full tender and limit
ed tender The United States has
$53S, 100000, full tender and ST.,
100000 limited tender; Great Bri-
