OPIUM RING DISCOVERED.
1t Employees at Least Three Vessels and
Has Been Long at Work.

AA"s A9SSn Long at w OTks
SAN Francisco, Jan. 15-The customs
authorities here, assisted by special
treasury agents, have unearthed a g1-
gantic smuggling ring employing at
least three vessels in its nefarious prac-
tees. George Wichman, a prominent
candy dealer of this city, and Louis
Greenwald OF Victoria, B. c., are in
the county jail charged with smuggling
1900 pounds of opium and thirteen Chi
nese ashore on the northern coast in
September last. The arrests were due
TO confession made by man named
Miller, who was taken into custody last
Sunday night. Warrants have also been
issued for E. w. Mclean, formerly Gus
tom-house interpreter, and Geo. Thomas,
photographer. Other warrants will
be taken out during the next few days
against prominent business men and
officials connected with the customs
service. An attempt was made last
night to seize the sloop Emerald, one
of the vessels which landed the opium,
but she escaped to sea, although chased
by revenue steamers. The ring has
been operating here for series of years
and highly sensational disclosures are
promised when the cases are brought to
trial

At Garfield.

GARFIELD, Jan. 13.-The continuous
rains of the past AS hours have taken
of all the snow except where the drifts
were the deepest. Creeks and gullies
are running bank full, and if the
weather in the mountains has not been
cold enough for snow, it is feared that
points on the Palouse river will again
be in danger by tomorrow. Roads are
still passable for wagons, as the ground
is not yet thawed through, but should
the warm weather continue two days
longer we will then be confined to the
railroads for means of locomotion.

TRANsMIsslsslPPI CONGRESS.
Mayor Thornton to Name Two Anaconda
Delegates Who Will Attend.


ANACONDA, Jan. 13.-Mayor Thornton
is in receipt of a communication from
Governor Richards asking for the APP
pointment of two delegates from Ana
copda to attend the Transmisslssippi
congress, which convenes at San Fran
cisco February 10. The meeting prom.
ises to be one of great importance to
the West, and Mayor Thornton is desir-
Gus of naming two representative citi-
zens who will serve. He has not vet
announced his selections.
Montana is entitled to ten delegates
at large appointed by Governor Rick
ards, while the county commissioners
have the right to name one delegate at
large for each county, and the mayors
of all towns and cities can name one
delegate for each 5000 population or
fraction thereof. No town with a
mayor is too small to have at least one
delegate under this apportionment.

LOST IN THE SNOW.
Alarm Felt for the Safety of Two Young
Men From Boise.

Men From Boise.
BOISE, Jan. 15.-Fears are entertained
here that Peter Cremnin and Billy
Shultz, two Boise young men, are lost
on Snake river placer and possibly
have persisted in the snow. Before
Christmas Harry Curtis and young
Shultz went with mules and a wagon
to Wings ferry on the Snake river,
about GO miles distant, and located
placer claim. While there their mules
strayed off and the young men walked
the entire distance to Boise, leaving
their wagon and supplies on the river.
Immediately after New Years Cremnin
and Shultz started with horses to bring
the wagon and supplies in, and for sew
eral days nothing has been heard from
them. 1t is feared that being inexpe-
rienced in travelling they got lost in the
severe storms of the past week and
may have persisted. A party left here
to hunt for them.

tiou at next Mondays convention were
considered good. Owing TO his disap-
psarance his name has been dropped.
