Perpetual Ice in Virginia.

It was not long ago reported that
,atural icehouse on grand scale had
ben discovered under singular circum,
stances on the north side Of Stone
Mountain, six miles from the mouth of
Stony Creek, in Scott County, Fir-
ginia. AS the story goes, it appears
that one Of the old settlers first dfscoY-
cred it about 1880, but owing to the
fact that the land on which it was stu
ated could not be bought he refused to
tell its whereabouts and would only
take Ice from it in case Of sickness. He
died without revealing the secret to-
even his own family, and but for q
Darty of seng diggers entering the re-
zion it might have remained a secret
for generations, as it Is situated In an
unfrequented part Of the mountain.
The ice was only protected from the
rays of the sun by a thick growth OF
moss, resembling that seen dangling
from the oaks of Louisiana and Texas.
Its formation was after the fashion of
n coal vein, being few inches thick IN
some places, while several feet IN
others. The formation indicates that
# had been spread over the surface in
q LIQUID state and then CONCEALED. By
what process it freezes or was frozen
is q matter Of conjecture. Some think
that it was formed in the winter and
had been protected since by a dense
growth of moss which covers 1t, while
the more plausible theory is that be-
meath the bed is situated a great ma
tural laboratory whose function Is a
formation of ether, and the process Of
freezing goes steadily on through the
heat as we'll as the cold. The bed covers
3ne acre.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Searles is about to give Grace Church
in San Francisco, as a memorial to
his late wife, is rather more
expensive gift than Mrs. Hopkins
Searles would perhaps have been

to Mr.. Searles vestryman Of the

she declined to do so.

their attempt. 1t has recently
been demonstrated to the satisfac-

Thomas Jefferson. If the people
want John Sherman's ideas carried

the John Sherman's to do it. The

THE KOOTENAI HERALD is n weekly newspa-
per, devoted to the interests of the koOtenai
country i'll general, and to the financial welfare
of its proprietor in particular. In politics ii Will
be strictly independent, but not necessarily neu-
trail 1t entertains the theory that while the
leaders of the democratic and republican parties
are honest and patriotic, their financial policy
lin which there is no difference between the two
parties) is detrimental to the interests of the
West and South, and for that reason the forma-
ton of a new party, having for its principal OBJ
ect the restoration of SILVER TO its proper sphere,
is a contamination deyoutely to be wished. AS
u business proposition the paper will be cOnduc-
ed on the principal that one mans money is
ust as good as another's, and 1t will assist any
wares to the favorable notice of the public in
proportion as he sees fit to pay for such adver-
tising. The HERALD will reflect malice toward
no man, whatever may be the personal feeling

the petty quarrels of others to the public, but il
Will be the aim to make it a Social commercial

ceive censure or applause as they shall merit

PIONEER PAPER OF KOOTENAI GO
ADVERTISING.
FREE COINAGE AND HOW TO GIT 1T.

In the HERALD's estimation there
is only one way to get the free coin
age of silver on a ratio of 16 to 1,
independent of the action of other
nations, and that is for the free
coinage men to get together and
act together.
Let the democrats who favor free
coinage make a fight before their
next national convention. Let it
be understood that their continued
allegiance to the party depends
upon the party putting a free sill
yer plank in the platform and NOM
mating a free silver man for presi-
dent. If the party does these
things-all good and well. If not,
withdraw from the party.
Let the free coinage men in the
republican party do the same.
If either party declares for free
coinage, and the other does not,
let the free coinage men of what
ever party go in body to the party
that promises them that for which
they are fighting.
If neither of the old parties come
out for free coinage, then let the
silver men of both parties go to-
gether and put up ticket of their
own.
We believe that the latter propo-
sition is the very best that could
happen. There has been major
ity for free coinage in the lower
house of congress for years and we
believe that majority of the peo-
pie favor it. The only trouble is to
get the friends of silver working
together, We believe that if the
gold bugs capture both the demo
cratic and republican conventions
the thing can be accomplished.
What is most needed is a cam
paign of education among the
friends of silver, Educate them
that they must act independently,
periodically in the matter. Edu-
cate them that free and unlimited
coinage is the supreme issue; that
now is the time to act; that party
ties should be severed, if need be
that in unity only can they succeed
