tour of inspection, commenc-
ing at Salmon City, in afew days.
Thirteen passengers arrived
in Challis last Thursday morning
from Ketchum. They were
brought in on a double deck Con
cord coach with four horses.
Nest Of the passengers were
millwrights destined for Yellow
Jacket. 1t looked like old times
to see this kind of coach.
Col. McFadden informs us that
he has made all necessary ar
rangements with a Denver COM
pany for the erection of a 10
stamp quartz mill, in the spring,
on his Yankee Fork mine on Mt.
Estes. We are pleased to learn
that this property will be de-
veloped.
The Republicans of Custer
county are all .'broke up.-
Through neglect they failed to
file their county ticket with the
county Auditor 25 days before
election as specified by law. The
Republicans claim the Populists
are in the same boat. Tie Popu-
lists filed their county ticket on
October 18th.

arrived in Challis last Wednes-
day and that evening departed
for Denver. Mr.. Thompson in
formed US that everything is in
readiness to erect their new 30
stamp mill. Twenty new stamps
will be put in and the ten old
ones repaired. 1t will be a con-
centrating mill. Mr.. Thompson
also gave US assurance that the
mines were looking good.
Senator Dubois is not stump
ing the State for the Republican
party, but for w. B. Hepburn.
the candidate against Sweet for
Shoup's place. Dubois acknowl-
edges that the Republican party
is opposed to free coinage, ana
at the same time says every man
in this State is a free coinage
man, no matter what party he
belongs to. Then why should
any voter support the Republican
ticket p Wallace Press.
And now the festive candidate
is ripe, even up to the picking.
He riseth between times ana
putteth on an unctious smile. He
leaneth against the hitching post
N the cleaning and haileth the
passer by. He appeareth on the
street corners and squandereth
many and divers hard earned
shekels in setting them up to
the boys" He hunteth up the
tillers of the soil and telleth
them what a fine crop of alfalfa
they haveth, when 10 , it is half
fox-tail; he also praiseth up the
six-bit cayuse and the crop of
spuds. Verify the candidate is
an institution in the land, and
there are many of him, and his
ways are past finding out alto
gether.
J. G. Fox was in from Yellow
Ja1ket, and informed US that the
Coleman placer grounds are be-
ing developed to a great extent:
that although they are not in to
bedrock. they have run a cut for
the flume over 1900 feet which
hrs run from one to thirteen feet
deep. They have been doing a
vast amount of work. but from
all that can be seen they are near
to pay. Prospecting gives them
this hope and we are disposed TO
believe their judgmentw prove
good from having, somewhat,
examined the premises. We
understand that the owner is
well pleased with the outlook.
Mr.. Fox tells us that work is
still going on with the Columbia
company on their mines and mill;
also that the old Yellow Jacket
company are don 6 la. ge
