A onAsrI.Y DISCOVERY.

VIM. Slater and Jas. IA. Ander-
son who returned from Middle Boise
river recently, made a discovery
which will be- Of interest 10 ell old
timers OF Idaho. About ~ miles
northwest Of Rocky Bar. while pros
pecting the country. they came
upon an old dirt cabin which had
tnnihled m with age. About fifty
feet to the west they found the re-
mains Of an old tunnel in the hill
which had also caved in. Night
coming on they decided TO camp at
the cabin, a. there was a nice spring
Of water adjacent. In the morning
they decided to explore the old
works. A few hours work opened
up the old tunnel IL had been
driven about AS feet. In il they
found a rusty pick and two shovels,
one with the handle broken of. The
shovels were almost eaten up with
rust and the handles decayed. This
excited their curiosity and they dug
down the old cabin. They found
an old mortar and pestle and a
much used axe branded "IXL,
Pittsburg The handle was en-
tirely rotton. A little further on
they came upon what seemed to be
human bones. Alter excavating
the entire floor Of the old cabin they
found a skull near the fireplace
This S. s. Taylor, who was one Of
the party, brought back TO Nampa.
On an old pine tree about % yards
north Of the tunnel, was a blaze and
on this were cut the initials ct p.
d." Tim Donovan, an old Califor-
MIA miner, is known to have gone
into that section about 1864, but all
trace Of him has since been lost.
The records Of Boise county will be
examined TO learn If Tim Donovan
ever recorded any claim in that
county. II is very wild country
and difficult to get into 1t may be
that Donovan perished there In the
early COS and that the bones found
In the old dugout are his.--Cald-

MoRE RAILROAD TALK.

For tho past Eve years The Boise-
Butte railroad has been talked and
often built--on paper. But il now
seems that al effort IL being made
that NAV, ere long. really send the
iron horse snorting along the South
Boise river and over the Sawtooth
range III mountains, which fact
would gladden. the hearts Of the
people Of Atlanta and Rocky Bar
immensely.
II. T. Woodwork, one Of the pro.
motors Of the Boise Butte railroad,
was in Boise a few days ago and he
informed the Statesman that the
building OF the road was assured
and be was ready 70 receive any
proposition the people Of Boise had
10 make. He would not cay how
much Of a bonus he would accept.
bat thaE he was ready to receive q
proposition and that not a cent
would be asked until the road was
built and trains running over il
tie said II was straight business
proposition, and II the road vas not
built the people would not be re-
quired 20 pay a dollar or deed foot
Of land.
On the evening Of the 9Th the
business men and capitalists Of
Boise city met and voted that
bonus Of $i50.OO0 be- rendered hy
them for the building If the road
through that city. This was not
satisfactory, aud another meeting Of
citizens held, at which they made a
tender Of 100000 and free right
Of way through the city and 10
Caldwell, in all q distance Of about
80 miles. The Statesman says the
right Of way il the property Of the
Boise Central Railroad Company.
Ii is graded the entire distance to
Caldwell. The company has held
il for the purpose Of offering ia an
inducement 10 railroads 10 build 10
the city This last proposition has
been accepted, the road will be COM
pleted 10 two years from Butte 10
San francisco, and ia Eve wears
Boise will have population Of at
least $4,000.
The proposed line is from Butte
via Silver Bow 10 the Idaho line
near Gibbonsville, through Salmon
City and thence to the principal
to ms Of Custer county. to Atlanta
and Rocky Bar via Rcd Fish lakes,
down Boise river 10 Boise city, 20
Nampa or Caldwell, 10 Old Camp
Lyon near Silver City and De La
mar, to Nevada via Beckwith's pass
and on to some California connec-
ti0n, probably through to San Fran
cisco. II the road does not come
through Boise city il viii probably
branch off in Custer county and
come down the Payetse ard then on
through Owyhee and 70 California.
Certainly the people Of Boise will
not be so blind to that eity's inter
ests az TO let this proposed road "a
elsewhere than through the Capital
city, when il lies in their power to
do so.

The up to date woman may have po-
litical bees in her Sunday bonnet If she
likes, but tho Chicago Audubon society
inHists she shall not indulge in dead
birds. This fashionable adornment is
emphatically declared to be thoughtless
cruelty In word, the object Of this
comparatively now and unique organi-
cation Of men and women is the protec-
tion Of birds To this end a monthly
meeting is held at the AthenRum.
So extensive has become the killing
Of birds for feminine fashion that the
subject is attracting widespread atten-
tion among Ornithologists The Chicago
Audubon society, however, claims to he
the only organization formed for the
condemnation of the use Of birds for
millinery purposes
At the regular meeting held yester-
day afternoon the Rev. George Pratt
read a paper on Amateur Ornithol-
ogy," followed by musical numbers.
The audience was made up mostly Of
women who practice what they preach
by not wearing birds in their bonnets,
though they indulge in ostrich plumos
on the plea that this does not necessitate
the killing Of tho bird
''There arc 8. 900, 600 birds slaugh-
tered annually in tho name Of fashion, :"
said Mrs. f. Irene Rood. president Of
the society AS an organization we
propose TO be instrumental in tho pro-
lection Of birds and IN time introduce
such bills in the legislature At present
wo are much Interested IN the bill now
pending which relates to the game laws
Of Illinois
THE Chicago Audubon society is, /
believe. the only organization Of the
kind in the United States, she con-
tinued. "There was one in New York,
but it has disbanded. F."

Il Is an odd trait IN human nature
that q man who has been ordered by his
physician to take paregorio will never

Statistioians who have studied the

A man arrived at his home the other

an idea that the stuff down in the cellar
is what tho doctor means for me- I

The greatest thing woman can do is
to do the thing that she was spocif-
ically endowed and ordained TO do, and
that is to bear children and train Them
for the uses and service Of the world
they are born into and only such wom-
en- as are morally or Intellectually in
competent to appreciate the full denote
ment Of this, or who have greater ambi-
tion for aggressiveness or oonspiouity
than they have for fulfilling their mis-
sion, will be inclined to resent this state
ment Of the case as an indignity, writes
the Rev. Charles a. Parkhurst, ID. D.,
in Ladies Home Journal
have yet to bo convinced that any
very considerable number Of these are
disposed to resist natures intentions for
them, but the actuating impulse Of
those who do is doubtless a passion for
some sort of celebrity and an impa-
thence at the seclusion and the restraints
which femininity. so construed, inn
poses upon them. They are not content
to be known only in their children, and
that is one great reason why their chill
dren arc so little known If Jochebed
had had her head full Of theories about

gone about Egypt stumping for female

From an article on tho prevailing
poetry in New York, which appeared IN
The Century Magazine, read carefully
this paragraph;
Can You appreciate the unspeakable
danger, moral rs well as physical, in
volved in the fact that among the 100, =
900 women in our city who earn their
living and often the living Of children
and men, too, the average wage, not tho
lowest, but tho average, where some
are paid pretty well, is only GO cents a
day? Have you tried to understand the
tenor Of lives like those Of scamstresses,
who get from 90 to 35 cents a dozen for
making flannel shirts and 81. 80 a dozen
for making calico wrappers? Or to fancy
how it must foel to labor for such pit
tances in cold and semidarlness from
IN the morning until II at night? Or to
estimate their purchasing power, when
coal must ho bought by tho bucket at
the rate Of $40 a ton, and rent in the
vilest purlious must be paid at higher
ratio upon the invested capital than is
asked on Fifth avenuog If you and ev-
cry other man and woman could be
brought to realize these things and to
ponder them q little, would they not
cease to be? Surely it must be our igno-
rance, not our hard heartedness, which
permits them now. "
