while three others lay by his side a
few feet from the fire. The stick he
held exploded, causing the other sticks
to 90 off at the same time. The report
shook the town, all the windows OF
houses within a radius Of 100 feet be-
ing shattered. Malone's eyes were
torn out, his right hand blown off and
his face, neck and breast presented a
pitiful sight. Pieces of Malone's flesh
stuck to the fence for ten feet opposite
to the spot where the explosion took
place. He was picked up and carried
home, where he died next day.
The faculty of Shepherd College
State Normal School did graceful
and popular thing last Friday evening
by giving to the students of the school
a most enjoyable reception in the large
hall adjoining the school. Those who
usually met only in the school room
where the rules mean study and close
attention to work enjoyed all the more
their pleasant association with one
another when the regulations were alb
rogated., Prof Kimler and his wife,
Miss johnson, Miss McConn, Mr.. Mil
Ter and, Mrs. Butler did the honors'
and succeeded most thoroughly In their
efforts for the enjoyment of the pupils
and the few invited guests who were
present. Refreshments were served
from tastefully decorated tables on the
stage The affair was one long to be
remembered for its pleasant features
and will be the means of making still
frmer the attachment between teach
ers and scholars.

ing similar enterprise at this place
in the near future. Mr.. Miller failed
to confirm this report while in the
city this week, but the rumor is not
entirely without foundation. With
general revival of business the lumber
market, which has been exceedingly
dull the past two years, will open
here an excellent field for such az en-
terpriSe, and it would then be quite
probable that Mr.. Miller would engage
in the enterprise spoken OF. But so
long as times remain as they are at
present we need not expect the addi-
tion Of such an industry.
Mr.. Miller is an enterprising busi-
ness man and a thoroughly practical
SaWmill man, at which business he
made signal success until his plant
at Fish Lake was destroyed by fire
nearly three years ago. In case he de-
cides to relocate in this vicinity, he
will be accorded hearty welcome by
all who have had business dealings
with him. 1t is to be hoped that by
next spring business will revive suffi-
cientiy to warrant the enterprise,
which would certainly prove a great
benefit to Rathdrum as it would no
doubt be one OF considerable magni-
tude.

are the Weber group. Almost every
variety Of ores known in the catalogue
OF minerals are found in this section.
The mines which have been worked
the most show predomlnence of an
timOnial, silver-lead ores. The mills
which were first put in for crushing
and grinding were found unsuitable
for the treatment of the ores here and
have to be replaced by a different
kind. Several Car loads of concen-
trates and crude ores have been ship
ped out, which yielded we'll. Large
quantities of ore are now awaiting
treatment preparatory to shipment.
The 'Homestake' group is located
about eight miles south of the Web
ber' group, and is regarded as one Of
the most promising Cpertes in the
district, as the ores are free milling
and carry a high percentage OF gold.
The owners Of these properties are

Wells-FargO Estimate of Idaho's Yield
For 1895.
The Wells Fargo report gives the
total mineral production Of the state
in 1895 at ST, 353, 800, all increase of
$511 900 over last year. or this pro-
duction the gold was So, ,52l 900; sill
yer, $2,S07. .450; lead, $2,O26.680.
The difference between Wells Fargos
total and the assay office estimate is
largely accounted for by the different
value per ounce of silver, the mint
using the coinage value and Wells
Fargo the commercial price. The
difference, SO cents, amounts to $2,
500, 900.

Contemplated by the Spo-

II. M. Strathern, a leadnu hpsinoss

day He was accompanied by Mr.
Stevens, of the same place, a practical
"ooien mill man who recently came
10 this country from Scotland and
together they made THE SILVER
BLADE a pleasant call.
Mr.. Strathern spoke at length on
the condition of the lumber trade
which he claims was very dull the
past year. but he seems hopeful of the

Will De great improvement over the

contemplated by his firm in their

it one OF the leading institution of it's

eel implicit confidence in Post Falls
as point well suited for the location
OF various manufacturing enterprises,
and predicts that a great change for
the better will occur there soon.

believes that Post Falls is an excel

OF an enterprise in his line. He be-
lieves that Post Falls has advantages
over Spokane for the location of such
an industry. The best market for these
goods that an industry of this class

Falls than Spokane. He claims also
that Spokane merchants do not wish
to have the Post Falls Woolen mill
removed to their city. 1t would hurt
their trade in this line Of goods, in
asmuch as the people who came to
purchase the product of this factory
would 60 direct to the factory, thus
depriving the merchants of the profits
of handling these goods. Mr.. Ste
vens is a thoroughly practical man
whom THE SILVER BBADE desires to
see the manager of Woolen mill at
Post Falls.

New Years Eve. Entertainment at the
Presbyterian Church.

ty given by the Christian Endeavorers
at the Presbyterian church New Years
Eve, was we'll attended and com
plete success socially. The evening.
was passed very pleasantly with APP
propriate exercises, singing, ETC., and
at II p. M. the dainty luncheon which
the ladies had prepared for the occa-
sion was served. The manner OF se-
curing partners was the novel atrrac-
tion Of the evening. Each gentleman
purchased necktie, a duplicate of
which was worn by lady, and then
proceeded to tind his partner by
matching ties. This resulted in bring
ing together some of the most incon-
gruous couples imaginable which Gre
ated considerable amusement. The
number of gentlemen present slightly
exceeded the number of ladies and to
overcome this difficulty some Of the
former were required to wear ladies'
ties. Among those who were unfor-
tunate enough to be compelled to eat
their luncheon with partner of the
masculine persuatlon was the scribe,
who seems always to be playing in
rather tough luck. Prof. j. G. Brady
was our partner.
After luncheon was over and just
before IL the gathering was favored
with a brief address by Hon. S. G.

to the occasion and was we'll received
by all. Promptly at II the church
bell began ringing, shots were fired

sky say that the Mckinley enthusiasm
will sweep the convention like the cy~
clone that tore through the city the
other day. The great distress and sor-
row that have overtaken the city
would chill the enthusiasm of an ordi-
Mckinley feeling seem TO run that
there is little expectation that the elo-

The convention hall, which has cost
$40 1000, has been especially built for
the occasion In the big city hall park,
within a short distance of the union
depot and but five minutes car ride
from the leading hotels, The building
covers more than az acre of ground. 1t
looks like great four-story marble
building, with an extra story or canopy
rising from it's top in the shape Of a
ridge roof. This canopy is so made
that the glass can be raised. giving the
hall perfect light and ventilation. In
addition to this, there Is a series of
ventilating fans. The sides of the hall
have many windows, and there are
more than 100 exits and entrances. It
is built entirely of wood, but a brigade
of firemen will be constantly on hand
with their engines steaming. The
hall will seat 1861 persons The Min
