BOISE, Idaho, May 29.-There is
great excitement in this city to-day
over the discovery OF wonderfully rich
placer diggings south of the Salmon
river, in the vicinity of Loon lake, in
Idaho county. Prospector Williams,
an old Californian, arrived here from
the dlggings yesterday, and to a few
confidential friends he told the story
OF his valuable find.
Williams says he took out 500 a !
day with a rocker and that there is
plenty Of rich ground there. A party |
of six, at the head OF which was Frank |
w. Merritt, who, with other Duluth |
parties, have made large investments
in the mines near here, was organized |
and QUILTED, leaving here with pack
horses and mining tools for Loon
creek this morning. The matter was
kept as quiet as possible, only fav-
ored few being into the secret.

as well as physically when he natures.
Boston has been trying the plan for
several years, and the school authori-
ties Of that city are said TO be loud in
their praises of the success that has
attended its adoption. The board Of
of Brooklyn has taken the
subject up and is considering a prop
osition to provide drill rooms at the
school buildings. There seems to be
no good reasons why military instruc-
lion should not be adopted by the
public schools generally.-Standard
