Our Placer Mines.

Between Lewiston and the reserva-
tion line there are several placer mines
which are being worked with II good
deal of energy. The locations have
generally been worked over before and
some of them many times. The pay
streak is near the high water line and
every flood replants the gold in the
same old gravel beds. 1t Is u favorite
winter occupation for many old pros
pectors to get his winters grub into a
cabin Oh the river bank aud run his
old style rocker all through the winter.
Others make this river mining their
work throughout the year.
a report has reached here that "Pet.
rified Jim II well known prospector of
this section, had made rich strike on
his placer claim at Buffalo Bar, II miles
above Asotin city. 1t Is claimed that
he Is making 81 n day with cradle

that an additional force Of six men
have bceh employed Oh this mine and
the outlook is very bright indeed. They

twenty feet thick which contains flake

result. The work is much retarded o,,
account that II sufficient amount of
water for sluicing can not be furnished
by the present plant. Next spring this
difficulty Will be overcome by replacing

pumping apparatus and work can thei,
go on uninterrupted and conducted tu

and musical exercises.
A feature of the day will be the singing

THAT it was murder there can be no
doubt. 1t was a cold-blooded, deliberate
assassination, IN which woman was
hacked to death and the perpetrator of the
crime has so far escaped. The first blow
was so heavy that it not only crushed in
one side of her skull, but fractured the
other side by the conclusion. Immense
force must have been used, so the MUIR

FOX-TERRIER CLUB,
The Charges Against Judge Davidson
Will Not End With the Kennel
Clubs Decision

The Pacific Fo1-terrier Club held it's first
meeting last evening since the recent
bench show. Nothing of any Importance
was transacted. The members called for
action on the letter from Mr.. Martin to the
Pacific Kennel Club in reference to certain
charges made against Judge Davidson. It
will be remembered that Mr.. Martins
letter was cast aside by the presiding
officer Of the Pacific Kennel Club at its
last meeting because the writer and those
whose names were included were not mem
bers of the club in question.
The Fox-terrier Club proposes to have
thorough investigation, and the matter
will be brought to the attention of the
American Kennel Club. Judge Davidson
has been accused by some of the exhibitors
OF fox-terrlers at the recent bench show of
having been influenced in his decisions. It
is rumored that the Fox terrier Club and
st. Bernard Club will give bench show
next year, regardless of what the Pacific
Kennel Club may do IN the way of an ex-
hibition.

MANY VISITORS ARRIVE

Times have changed since Mayor Mont
non. in 1868. made his last trip until Sat
urday from Wickenburg northward. He
was only Deputy Sheriff Jim Monihon
then, making his way cautiously to Pres
colt with some 500 of county funds. He
had to be cautious, for behind him and
ahead of him lay dead white men bleach
ing IN the desert sun, shot down by
treacherous Apache arrows. Each giant
cactus, every clump of sage brush and
the occasional mesquite tree might, for
all he knew, conceal willy, ferocious foe,
says the Gazette.
Saturday he rode comfortably with his
comrades of the reception committee IN
smoothly gliding cars to Congress, there
to meet two palace cars OF wealthy East
ern men travelling over the newly COM
pleted Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix
Railroad to inspect that line and study
the wondrous mining and agricultural
resources OF Northern ana Central Arl-
IONA thereby opened to them. No In
dams confronted Mayor Monihon yester-
day, no topographic discomfort OF any
kind Four Pullman cars were en- route
Chicago on Sunday, Monday and Tues
day evenings respectively. One of these
contained G. W. Kretzinger and his
brother. j. T. kretzinger, counsel for
the road, and their families; Secretary
Sarmiento, Messrs. Wiser and Morgan.
The fourth car was occupied by General
A. Mcdonald and staff, from Denver.
Both these cars were at Prescott To reach
Phoenix by Monday.
