There are three enterprises in

Idaho still waiting for coming hust-
lers. namely: A cannery to trans.
form the jack rabbits of the plains
into spring chicken; homeless
cod6shery to utilize the leathery
sturgeon Of Snake river, and a
shrimpery to cure crickets and
grasshoppers into shrimps for the
free lunch tables of eastern saloone
and beer halls. Of crickets there
are two varieties, the black and
cornelian red. There ia also money
in black crickets in another chan
mel; the belly parts could be canned
for blackberries. after some simple
machine had been devised to quick
~ separate them. The tiny cotton
tail rabbits offer still another in
dustry in the way Of canned frog
legs. Nothing lives on land, in the
air, or sea that can begin to COM
pare with sturgeon in the manufac-
ture of homeless Goldfish. Having
no bones they don't have to be
boned. All that is necessary is to
first catch and then cut them into
the regulation squares, salt and in
some way import the commercial
stink carefully boxed, and then they
are ready for the market. Down
casters who have tested the Snake
river homeless Goldfish say it is far
superior 10 tho Kennebeck, Penob-
scot or Cape Cod homeless Goldfish.

TWO LAND DECISIONS.
Several Sacramento Mine Owners Are
nafa tnd

Defeated.
decision has been rendered in the
United States Land Office of this district
mineral contestants, VS.. w. ii. Lavallee
and II. I. Renton, intervenor.
The case involved the mineral or nom
mineral character of the northeast quar-
ter of the northwest quarter of section
70, township Il north, range east en-
braced IN homestead entry made III Oc-
tober, 1898, by w. ii. Lavallee and covered
by mining location OF protestants,
known as the West End quartz mining
claim.
The records show that the entire tract
was returned as mineral in character on
the official plat of the survey and that on
October 10, 1885, A. j. Brown filed
homestead application, which was can
celed by the Commissioner of the Gen.
eral Land Office. That on October 8,
1898, Lavallee filed his homestead appli-
cation and on February 8. 1885, he COM
muted 1t to cash entry.
On May /, 1895, L. b. Reed and others
filed an affidavit of contest, alleging min
eral character of so much of the land as
IS comprised within the West End
quartz mining claim, the greater portion
OF which is on the land in question and
which claim was located by Lavallee on
March a, 1898, prior TO the date of his
homestead application, and that they de-
rived their interest through him, prior to
his making proof and entry, and had
proved by assay that the ore of the mine
was of great value. Lavallee executed q
quit claim deed TO five-six tbs of the mine
10 them on that date.
The record also shows that five days
after the date of Lavallee's commuted
cash entey, he gave bargain and sale
deed OF the land TO ii. L. Renton.
The Receiver and Register visited the
land and found that the mining work was
confined almost exclusively to the west
end OF The claim, some $40 feet distant
from the land, being tunnel some fifty
feet in length, and that so far no weil-de-
fined quartz vein has been discovered
and that Lavallee at the time of his entry
had satisfied himself that it was of no
value for mining purposes. AT the time
or executing the deed to Renton, he had
made final entry and was in position TO
execute il.
They therefore find that the allegations
OF contestants have not been substanti-
ated and that the contest should he dis
missed and a patent should issue in
due course to Lavailee.
They have also decided the contest of
Susan Poor against the Central Pacific
railroad Company, involving the east
hall OF the southeast quarter of section
Ii, township IL north, range 10 east. in
favor OF the contestant, the land being
excepted from the company's grant on
account of prior occupation and cultiva-
ton by settlers.
