should the deal by which the Lake Erie &

Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton to step in
and take the property, as has been proposed.
There is no question to the c., III. & d.
needing a Western FEEDER the l., ID. & w,
is the only line which can be secured and
it makes connections which, If cultivated,
even without extending the road further
west, would be valuable to the business of
the c., II. ID. The last five years the
l., d. az w. has been one Of the c., II. d
DIS best feeders under adverse circum-
stances such as could be overcome did the
C., II. & d. control it. The l., d. & w.
in connection with the c., H. 81 d. would
connect Western and Eastern lines, which
would result advantageously. Some of the
wsest of local railway officials are free
to say that should the L. E. & w. deal be
declared off the c., Fl. & d. should lose
no time In making effort to carry out
the same arrangement.

deals In the history of Idaho. A
few days ago T. F. Corning, of

enterprise went to Silver City.
Information is to the effect that
the gentlemen have bonded prop
erty near Silver City to the ex-
tent of in the neighborhood of

ed, it is said, include the Black
Jack group. the Trade Dollar

Chris. Morler returned from
the Sheep Mountain and Sea-
foam mining region last Friday
evening, where he had been to
inspect various mines in which
he is interested. He reports the
camps very quiet-only a few
men doing their assessment
work These camps have abun-
dance of good silver-lead ores,
but they are so far from reduc-
ton works that ore of less value
than $50 per ton cannot be ship
ped at much profit. The camps
above mentioned have plenty of
$40 and $50 ore which cannot be
worked at present. The low
price of silver and lead proved
very serious to this district, as
well as to all other mining reg
ions of their nature Mine own
ers in Sheep Mountain and Sea
foam are just holding onto their
claims in hopes for the future,
but will the future be any more
brilliant?
Miss r. A. Harnett, of Boise
City, who has been engaged to
instruct the youth in the way of
wisdom in this District. arrived
in Challis last Friday evening,
and commenced school yester-
day. 1t may become necessary
to grade the school this winter,
that is, if the children who are
of school age in this District at
tend. The July census showed
81 scholars, but we are satisfied
that not over 20 of this number
will attend school. But 20 schol-
ars are thirty more than should
be taught by one teacher, and do
them justice. Miss Harnett is
highly recommended as a teacher
and a lady, and we hope and
feel confident that she will be
successful in her duties-that is
the best possible under the pres
ent condition of our school.
Good government is a very i'm
portant thing In any large or
small school. That was one
feature lacking here last term.
The scholars from the first to
the last did not take a fancy to
their teacher, and cared nothing
for the school room, and with
such a state of affairs existing
no school can be successful. The
Idaho school laws viii be enforc-
ed here by the Board. Another
thing we would like the children
to be careful with their school
books In taking an inventory
of the books we find the fault
is with the small children. Near
ly all of the First and Second
Readers are destroyed, for which
pupils can be suspended from
school. Books used by the larg
ier scholars are in good condition.
