LOCAL, MINING AND POLITICAL.
A Newsy Budget From the Heart Of the
Ceur d'Alenes.
OsRURN, Idaho, Aug. 2O.-L w.
Carson, for four years capitalist and
resident of Osburu, will leave early
next week for the Walla Walla G. un-
try, where he has purchased $50 acres
of wheat land. He will bring cargo
of blooded cattle from his old home in
Minnesota to his new home and will
combine stock-raising with wheat
growing.
Mining Notes.
The immense trains OF Canyon creek
ore going through every day seem to
di~credit the story given out by Super
intendent McNeill Of the q. r. & n.
Company that the Occur d'Alene
branch was not paying its own way.
This branch is ming . mixed train
aud frequently 20 cars are attached to
one engine, while the passenger coach
is comfortably full and the express car
we'll loaded.
Alger, Young and Horton are put
ting steam hoist in the Nellie mine
ut OsburD, and with . force of several
men are going to work in earnest. The
Nellie is one Of the richest properties
in the "dr," belt.
The new Stewart mining law meets
with the approval Of everyone In this
section. Men who would otherwise
have to forfeit good claims on account
of hard times can now hold them for
another year by merely filing the neces-
sary affidavits with the recorders.
All the mines on Canyon creek ex-
cept the Black Bear and the Mann
moth are at work, and the latter, it is
said, will start up before the first of
September. Nearly as many men are
now working in Canyon creek as ever
worked there ut any previous time.
The sampling works between this town
and Wallace are running two shifts.
aud much ore is going out direct to the
smelters without undergoing the samp.
ling process.
An adjourned term of the district
court begins Monday, the Goth inst.
with Judge Pieper of Moscow on the
bench. Some important mining cases
are to be tried before Judge Pieper,
Judge Holleman being disqualified by
reason Of having been an attorney In
the different cases prior to his election
to the bench.
California capitalists are looking over
sorae Osbarn prospects through their
Thomas Reynolds of
this place. It is reported they have
made an offer for the Column
bia, ST. Elmo and California claims of
$5O, 600, agreeing to pay $1,000 sor its
equivalent In work within q year from
signing papers. 80.

There are openings In this town for
several women who are willing TO
v ofk for good pay as laundressss, gen
eral houseworkerr, etc. AT present
there 10 no laundress in town, and we
are compelled to do our own

cleaning. Surely there ere women
enough and to spare In the rich and
prolific Palouse, aud hope this petit.
