TOO MUCH THRILLING.

BY reference TO the proceedings of
the Legislature it will be seen that
after a good deal of backing and

School Entertainment.

The spring term of the Rathdrum
school closed yesterday, and in the
evening the pupils gave an. entertain
ment at Eilert's hall. The entertain
ment was given with view to rails
ing funds with which to purchase d
flag for the school house, and anyone
present at the doings last evening
need not be told hereafter the stars
and stripes will wave to the breeze Ov-
er the school building in this city, for
the affair was a big success, all who
feel an interest in the school being
present-Which means everybody. The
spacious hall was crowded to suffOca
tion, there being no standing room
left vacant, and the immense throng
put forth their best efforts were not
disappointed, for the pupils rendered
very creditably the interesting pro-
gram, in which all took part from the
smallest to the largest. The perfect
training which the pupils showed on
this occasion spoke well for their
teachers, and anyone could see that
the term of school just closed was
grand success. We learned that the
trustees have engaged Mr.. Brady for
another term, and their action is to
he commended, for he is a first-class
teacher.

judgment as it will not be long before

Gold Under the Ocean.

Los ANGELES, June 19.-Gold is
said to have been found in paying
quantities at the bottom of the ocean
near the western end of San Clemente
island. The discovery was made in a
peculiar manner. When Archibald
Reed was cruising about in his yacht
it became necessary to heave the lead
in order to ascertain the character Of
the bottom with view of casting
anchor. The lead had small cavity
in the bottom filed with tallOw that
was used to indicate what kind Of
seabed it touched. When brought up
the gold was imbedded in the tallow.

ENTERPRISES OF RATHDRUM,
A Brief Mention Of Industries About
the County Seat.

Two weeks ago an article was COM
menced in The SILVER BBADE giving
a brief description of the various bus
mess enterprises of Rathdrum and
vicinity, and briefly mentioning the
men who are conducting them, but
owing to lack of space was no5 COM
pleted. The first on the list this
week is the
Rathdrum Water and Power Company.
This corporation was formed sever
al years ago and it's stockholders are
Henry Reiniger, Frank Wenz, John
Russell, Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Porter, f.
Eilert and B. f. Butler. Rathdrum
enjoys the benefits of frst-class wa
ter system, which was put in by this
company at cost of more than &c.
900. The water is the very best to be
had, being brought down from noun
tain springs by large main, and in
quantity sufficient for all purposes.
This excellent water system affords
the city good safeguard against the
most dreaded of all destructive ele-
ments-fre. The town owns a hose
and cart which in case of fire may be
attached instantly to one Of the nu-
merous hydrants which. are located at
the most convenient places in the bus
mess portion of the town, and there
is sufficient force to throw water over
the highest structure.
Saw and Shingle Mills.
AT present there is but one saw mill
located here. It is run by water pow
er, has capacity of 10000 per day
and a complete planning outfit in con-
nection. Its proprietor is A. w. Post,
one of the oldest settlers in this Sec
tion and large property owner. He
Is a thorough mill man and can al
ways supply his patrons with any
thing in the line Of lumber that can
be made out of native timber. The
shingle mill is located a couple miles
east of town on the bank Of beauti-
full stream the water of which fur
nishes motive power for the plant. 1t
is a first-class mill throughout, has a
capacity of 35, 900 per day and is run
by 30 horsepower turbine wheel.
Although young man its enterpris-
ing proprietor, @. A. Mcdonald, we'll
understands his business, have been
taught it by r. Miller, one of the
most practical mill men in the north
west who for many years conducted a
large saw mill at Fish lake where his
plant and lumber yard were destroyed
by fire two years ago. The respective
proprietorS of these two enterprises in
form us that each is running its full
est capacity and that ready market
is found for the product.
Lawyers.
Two attorneys are located here, one
of whom-Henry Melder is at pres

much. The other attorney is G. L.

Struck 1t Rich.

Struck 1t Rich.
Ex-Surteyor General Petit of Boise
City has made big strike in a mine
that he is developing at Atlanta, Ida
ho. The vein is SO feet wide and all
pay. There are streaks Of ore that
run from $50 to $500 per ton. These
streaks are from three to p feet wide.
The rest Of the ledge carries from $12
to SIS per ton. 1t is all gold ore.
This property is on continuation of
the old Atlanta lode, which produced
nearly $2,00O,0 900 before the company
got into Wrangle that led to the
mine being shut down. The new
strike belongs to General Petit, A.
r. Coffin, Hal Coffin, A. L. Richard
son and David Falk. Parties have
been endeavorng to purchase it, but
the owners are inclined to hold on and
work it. If they conclude to work it
themselves, they will put IN large
mill, the development being sufficient
to warrant such course.
An advance in rates on ore from
Wood river points to Salt Lake has
gone into effect. 1t amounts to near
ly So per ton and can scarcely fail to
effect the production Of that section.
The reason for the raise has not been
made public. The management of
the road must think that it will be To
the benefit of the company, but this
is doubtful. It paws to give the mines
the cheapest possible rates to the
nearest market. This has been the
experience of the roads in Colorado
and the rule should be equally appli-
cable here. e.-Statesman.
Advices from Silver City, Idaho,
confirm the recent news Of the rich
strike in the Black Jack Jack mine.
Manager Irwin says that they have
uncovered four-foot vein of good ore
in the lower tunnel, after driving a
distance of 2,l2S feet. The strike
was made 23O lower than the old
workings.
The largest mining deal ever made
ia Nevada has been cOnsumated at
Carson City. The Douglas and Brown
group of mines have been sold to Sen
ator Wolcott of Colorado for 5000, 600,
Among the group is the celebrated
Hardscramble mine, at one time val.
ed at millions.

TERMINAL WINS ITS CASE
Supreme Court Reverses the Famous
South Pasadena Case
Corporation Has No Right to Fix Fares in
Franchises Beyond Its Cor.
porate Limits

7. f. Gibbon. ESQ.,. attorney for the
Terminal Railroad company, yesterday
received a telegram from Clerk Waid of
the supreme court. stating that the iudg-
ment of the lower court in the case of
the City of South Pasadena against the
Terminal Railroad company had been
reversed and judgment ordered in favor
of the defendant corporation.
This decision Is q great victory for the
Terminal company. and is much more
far-reaching IN its effect than would APP
pear at first glance, as it practically
sets aside the provisions arbitrarily fix
ing the fare in the franchise of the cleo
trio railroad. since granted by the cities
of Pasadena and South Pasadena, between
those cities and Los Angeles.
Something like year and half ago
the City of South Pasadena brought suit
against the Terminal company to enioin
the Terminal company from operating its
cars within the corporate limits of that
city and for forfeiture of its franchise for
a violation of its provisions by charging
more than the rate OF fare provided
therein, which had been fixed by the
franchise at 90 cents between South Pasa.
dena and Los Angeles. Mr.. Gibbon, the
attorney for the company, contested the
case. which was tried before Judge Shaw,
on the ground that corporation had no
right to establish or fix the rate of fare
beyond it's corporate limits as valid
part of any franchise granted by it. and
further, that the attempted exercise of
such power was void, as being beyond
the power of municipality, and against
public policy as set forth in the constitu-
ton of the state establishing the state
board of railroad commissioners with
sole power to regulate railway fares.
Upon the trial of the cause Judge Shaw
ruled against the defendant on all points.
holding that the provision fixing the rate
of fare to be charged was valid. that the
failure of the railroad company to COM
ply with this provision had forfeited the
franchise, and issuing a restraining orde
enioining the defendant corporation from
operating its trains in the said corpora
tion of South Pasadena.
Mr.. Gibbon at once took an appeal to
the supreme court and applied for writ
superceding the judgment and order of
the lower court until the cause could be
heard before the supreme court.
The writ applied for was granted and
the company continued operating its
trains without detention or interruption
until the cause could be heard before the
supreme court, which. as appears from
the telegram to Mr.. Gibbon, resulted in
the court of last resort sustaining the po-
sition taken by him.
The full opinion in this case will be
awaited with much interest, as the points
involved affect: every railroad company
in the state.
