An Important Interest Affected.

Probably the most important in
terest affected by the delay Of the
Senate in giving a full bench to the
Supreme Court, says Washington
dispatch, is the settlement of the
titles to mineral lands along the
Northern Pacific Railroad. By its
charter this road was given the al
ternate sections of land forty miles
each side Of its track, excepting the
mineral lands, but the question has
arisen in numerous lawsuits wheth-
er the title was for those sections
which were known to contain min
eral deposits when the grants took
effect or also for all lands in which
mineral deposits have since been
discovered. Circuit Court decisions
have placed the first construction
upon the grants, and there has been
a test case-that of Richard P. Bor-
den against the Northern Pacific
before the Supreme Court for more
than q year. This case has been
once argued, but is now sidetracked
to await the confirmation of q ninth
Justice. Upon its decision depends
the title to all the recently discov-
cred mineral wealth along the
Northern Pacific for an eighty-mile
belt across the whole width Of the
State of Montana and part of Idaho.

A Letter from Thomas Rowe.

The KEYsroNE is in receipt Of an
interesting letter from former pop
ular resident of East Fork, Thomas
Rowe, who went east last fall witt,
his family to reside permanently.
Mr.. Rowe writes from Dollar Bay.
Mich, January 10Th. He is located
at that place, where he conducts a
livery, feed and sale stable, with a
blacksmith and horeshoeing shop
in connection. We quote extracts
from the letter, which will be of
interest to the writer's numerous
friends in Ketchum and at East
Fork. He says: "The people here
think the republicans will be in
power next election. Those who
are starving in the iron counties of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Mime
soto call it good old democratic
times" The copper counties are
all at work.
"Mr. Moyle captain Moyls }, late
OF ketchum but now of the Copper
Falls and Arnold mine, has been
very sick but was able to be up yes
terday. Mrs. Ludlow and daugh-
ters are we'll. They live at Copper
Falls, but Miss Mary is absent at
tending school.

Nankervis, now in England, saying
that he is about to enter into con-
jugal felicity.
Give my regards to the East
Fork prospectors poor old fellows,

could find a mine to pay them for
their years of work. Just think of
the years they have worked-John
Ellis, Nick Gardt, H. B. Citizens,
J. Butch and Uncle George Haser-
and all for nothing"
Mr.. Rowe closes with little
burst of sentiment. He says: "As
to Wood River, with all thy faults,
| love thee still"
It is evident that our old friend
still yearns for former scenes and
associations, and when we hear the
cry of silver at a ratio of Is to !,
look out for Tom, Mrs. Rowe and
the babies among the arrivals at

The Populists In Congress.

Charles A. Dana, whose opinions
of parties and men are expressed
without fear or favor, says in the
New York Sun:
So much for the Populist mem
bers. There is not an idle man
among them. They are always in
their seats and their names are
found recorded upon nearly every
roll call. They are no: obstruction
lists or cranks, but men who seem
to have become convinced that the
welfare of the nation requires the
services Of a new political party,
and they have found and formed q
party to meet the exigency. That
it has found many hearers was
shown by their wonderful conven-
ton in Omaha in 1892, in their cast.
ing over million votes and getting
over twenty electoral votes in their
first campaign, new step in a ma
tional election. No one in the Pop
ulist party need be ashamed, but
instead can be proud of their repre-
sentatives in Congress"

Gotham Stands Aghast.

A daughter of James Buck, a
wealthy lawyer of New York, and
wife of an English gentleman of
high degree, who is heir to title,
has made her debut at the Casino
in the role of chorus girl. Two
years ago The young lady was woed
by great-grandson of Sir George
Collier, a British Admiral during
the Revolutionary War. Her father
objected to the attentions of her
sutton: they then eloped and were
married. Soon afterward the hus-
band of noble lineage lost his for
tune in a Wall street speculation,
and when reverses came the daugh-
ter appealed to her father, who
threatened to disinherit her when
she defied his wishes in her matri-
monial venture, but he still re-
NAMED obdurate and refused to
assist them in their urgent need.
The wife then determined to do
anything that was honorable to as
sist her husband in bis financial
distress, hence her appearance be-
fore the footlighta at the Casino.

Led to the Altar Once More.

Mrs. Wheeler McDonald-W heel
er.Westman, for the past ten years
aresident of Ketchum, was married
few days ago at Bingham City,
Utah, to Mr.. Brigham Bowden, a
former admirer. The happy couple
left. for Salt Lake City soon after
the ceremony on q wedding tour.
whence they will proceed to the
Midwinter Fair and spend their
honeymoon in the land of flowers.
This is the fair brides fifth matri-
monial venture, which proves the
irresistible charms of the widow, as
we'll as the fact that marriage is not
afailure-oh, no; not much. This
Is sad news for ketchum's eligible
bachelors, who will mourn lost
. opportunity for connubial bliss !;
but remember, sit is better to have
loved and lost than never to have
loved at ALL"

County Bonds Not in Demand.

The Blackfoot News mentions the
return Of Banker c. Bunting from =
trip east, where he went to dispose
of Bannock aud Fremont county
bonds, but without success. The
News says: Eastern capitalists
have an abundance Of money but
they are timid and cautious about
letting it out. The constitution
itself and some of the laws Of Idaho
covering certain financial measures
are not such as their legal advisers
approve, and for thct reason the
bonds were not sold at the time OF
Mr.. Bunting's visit. If the legal
Investigations which will be made
later on prove satisfactory the
bonds will be taken, otherwise they
will not be.
For q long time, it has been
known to oil her citizens that Ida.
hos constitution is not what it
should be by any means, and as
there is no hope for constitution
al convention in the near future we
must look for relief, as far as possis
BILE, in the enactment Of new and
just laws. To this end every
county in the state should look
with the greatest care to the selec-
ton of its legislative ticket for the
next election. Without a repeal of
certain laws there will always be
danger to the financial prosperity
of the counties; without certain
new laws, there can be no general
prosperity to the state. The legis-
lative tickets then are of first i'm.
portance."

A stab For Cleveland.

The Senate Committee on For
eign Relations reported favorably
the following resolution:
Resolved, From the facts and pa.
pers laid before the Senate, it is I'm.
wise and inexpedient, under the ex.
listing conditions, to consider at this
time any project for the annexation
of the Hawaiian islands to the
United States; that the Provisional
Government therein having been
duly recognized, the highest inter
national interest requires it shall
pursue its own line of policy. For
eign Intervention in the political
affairs of these islands would be re.
garded as an act unfriendly to the
Government Of the United States.
Never in the history of the United
States has President received such
a rebuke, especially from his own
party. Cleveland's attempt to over
throw friendly government, to re-
store a semi-barbarian Queen, has
been plainly denounced by the Sen.
ate Committee, with a Democrat
at its head-Senator Turpin of In
diana-as gigantic blunder. That
committee says plainly, that the
Provisional Government has been
duly recognized-that it must be
allowed to adj Just it's own affairs
without any interference from the
United States; furthermore, foreign
powers are warned to keep their
hands off of the struggling Repub'
lie.
There can be no sympathy felt
by-any true American for Grover
Cleveland in his present unenviable
position. Like 1.-The scorpion girt
by fire" there is no escape for the
man who is go enormously inflated
with self-importance that he has
not only exposed himself, but the
nation to obloquy and ridicule. Mr.
Cleveland is fast being deserted by
the party who placed him in power
as the chief magistrate of our great
Republic, and which until recently
regarded him as hero and demi-
god. AS he feels the thrusts from
the political dagger of the Demo
cratic party leaders, Grover Cleve-
land can we'll exclaim in the Ian.

BRUTE"

Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest
woman in America, possessing q
fortune Of 6O,OOO, 600, has sudden
" disappeared from view. Her
modest income forced her to take
apartments at Brooklyn boarding
house at 81 per week, and it is said

An Invaluable Invention.

Luther Look, an experienced min
er, and a gentleman, who, as an in
ventor, has earned the sobriquet o.
the Edison Of Idaho," called or
the Sentinel, this week, and during
and interesting conversation about
mines, mining operations and ma
chinery, showed US samples of con
centrates from the Texas Star, Com
ct. and Finche's mines, situated or
Camas Pririe, in Gilmore county
this state, which was highly inter
esting as showing what can be done
in the way of concentrating Idaho
ores by the use of an Idaho inven'
ton.
Mr.. Look has been experimenting
in that section for some months
with a concentrator of which be il
the inventor, and the result of his
experiments is of a nature that must
be highly gratifying to himself and
of almost incalculable benefit to
quartz miners everywhere.
The points that especially recon.
mend this new concentrator, are its
cheapness, its effectiveness, and the
perfection orits work. Its cost will
not, be assures US, exceed fifty pei
cent of the Frue Vanner. The
heaviest castings used in its con.
struction will not weigh to exceed
ten pounds. One horse can carry
all of the iron employed in its
makeup and they can be made in
any ordinary blacksmith shop. The
machine can-.be adjusted so as to
save lead, zinc, iron and copper py.
rites and other minerals in bulk OF
to separate them and leave the lead
and zinc in one mass and the by.
rites and other minerals in another
and the movement is 80 simple tina,
the change from one class Of work
to the other can be completed ir
thirty seconds.
Six tons of rock we're worked or
the Comet mine. ten tons from
Einche's mine and run of two
months made on the Texas Star. A
tive-stamp mill was employed in
crushing the ores, and from eigh,
to ten tons per day concentrated
the result being that 943 per cent Of
the precious metals were saved
which is better work than we have
before heard OF being done by any
machine extant. This new concen.
traitor is capable of making any de.
sired grade of concentrates; the
samples shown us were remarkably
clean and fine, twenty-five per cent
of the pyritic concentrates being
such as would pass through a 2O(
mesh screen, while fully fifty pei
cent of the lead concentrates would
pass through the Same screen.
The concentrates exhibited at this
Office contained copper and iron
-pyrites, magnetic iron, lead and
zinc, the latter being in the form Of
a sulphide.
Mr.. Look has applied for patent
and expects to put his concentrate,
ON the market in few months, and
we believe it will Immediately take
the lead of all others, and be help
full in opening up great many OF
our low grade gold mines, as it will
be within the reach of men of small
means, and can be attached to an
arastra.
