REYNOLDS & SHAW.

Dick Coates, arrived here yesterday
from Bruneau valley, consigned to
Rice & Co.
Water in the big reservoir is al
ready much higher than it reached
last spring, Yesterday it stood at
the 36-ft mark and it is more than
probable that it will be entirely
filled before the dry season com
mences.
Very encouraging reports come
down from the Gilmore mine at
Rocky Bar. 1t is said that splen-
did body of ore has been found on
the 700-foot level and that the mine
is now improving on several other
levels. This old gold-producing
camp is liable to again create stir
in the mining world at no distant
day.
On the 21st of December, 1895,
the Commissioners of Gilmore county
sold at public auction, after due ad-
vertising, a lot of property which
had reverted to the county for de-
linquent taxes, and at which sale
the county realized about $500 in
cash. Lon Richards purchased
what is known as the Thurman
ranch" on Dry creek, but was re-
fused possession of the property.
He has commenced action in the
district court for possession and title
of this property, and the decision
of the court will be looked for with
much interest, as there are many
others who in good faith bought
property at the same time and who
wish to know whether a deed from
the county, in such cases, is worth
less or not.
Two dogs were playing at the
Black Hornet mine near Boise, sew
eral weeks ago, and in their rollick-
ing accidently fell into an old shaft
Three days thereafter the dogs were
found, one of them dead. The
other, black and tan, almost fam
ishing, was brought to the surface
by the aid of windlass. The hail
on the top of the poor dogs head
= had turned gray during its imprison
ment. The animal is still living
) and none the worse for its adventure
, except the gray head which is quit
| conspicuous on that breed of dog
} This is no hoax, as the dog is nov
in the possession of Mr.. Henr.
: Henderson, who was at the Blacl
Hornet mine at the time of the ac
, cident. He brought Puppy" t
Boise where Mrs. Ii. is caring 10
him now.
Colonel Geo. A Williams arrive
!. here Sunday evening from Atlanta
, being four days making the trlI
owing to the warm rains in I'll
; mountains and the bad condition
of the roads. He is manager of Il
Atlanta Gold and Silver Consol
dated Mines at Glen Davies, al
reports everything connected wi
his mines and mill in very sati
factory condition. Forty me
stamps will doubtless be added
his mill during the coming SUNNI
aud the working forces of the min
will be greatly increased. Colon
Williams talks but little of his gre
mining enterprises, but his az
speak louder than words and it
evident that Atlanta will emf
greater prosperity this summer tn
1t has since the early sos. G
ca Williams went is Boise Mond
1t. and from there he will go to Hal
before returning to Glen Davies.
