remove their household goods to
Lewiston for the winter, as it is
thought the milder climate down
there will benefit Mr.. Aram's
health. Tom Aram will occupy

G. T.. Richardson was out from
Moose creek Monday on business,
and while in town his horse was
seized on warrant from Boise
City, as it and another animal
had been stolen. The other horse
was found at Cottonwood. Mr..
Richardson bought his animal this
spring and has bill of sale from
the party from whom he bought it.

John Barker, John Wilson and
- Garland were arrested near
Warm Springs last week by Sher-
if Overman, j. T. higgins and
S. w. Reynolds. These are the
parties accused of the larceny of
three saddles from Cottonwood
and with whom a posse exchanged
shots down on White Bird. These
shots were evidently all in the air,
as the parties had no arms when
arrested.
j. w. Shannon and N. f. Bev-
erly returned Monday from their
camp on the waters of Newsome
creek, four miles northeast of the
big switch-back on Little Baldy,
where they have made some very
promising discoveries of quartz
this summer. Mr.. Beverly is a
well known geologist, and gives it
las his opinion that they have
struck the biggest thing in the
state. We devotedly hope their
most sanguine expectations will be
more than realized.
C. r. Pittman returned Tuesday
from a surveying trip on the North
Fork of Clearwater, where he has
surveyed three townships of land,
to-wit: 40 north range 1, 2, and
3 east Boise meridian. These are
some of the white pine timber
lands selected by the state and en-
BARGE the mining district of Ruby
creek, on the North Fork of Clear
water. Mr.. Pittman is an appli
cant for the position of inspector
of U. S. government surveys il
this state and feels sanguine o
getting it.
Jas. Reardon returned last Fri
day from his trip to Alton district
