Oldest. Discoveries of rich quartz vein
at Florence is attracting attention to
that old and once prosperous mining
camp, and the mystery Of the origin of
the rich grounds and sand deposits of
flour gold has apparently been solved.
Mr.. M. c. Huff, of Florence, thus speaks
of it in the Lewiston Teller:
"Florence as a placer camp was a
mystery and as a quartz camp it is a
surprise There were many theories
advanced to account for the placer de-
posits on the top of a mountain with
out an apparent source, The quartz
formations were not understood in the
COS as they are now. The old miners
believed the gold was carried to Flor
ence by an iceberg some time in the
glacial period. That was the most fea-
sible theory in those days. The quartz
lodges were not discovered until few
years ago and their value was not known
till within the past year The forma-
tion Of the granite bedrock effectually
concealed the gold-bearing lodges. A
false bedrock Of granite underlies the
sand in the basin. The placer miners
learned to hunt for placers gold under
the first stratum but never dreamed
that below that was still another STRAIT

How the pouble-staaaara views it.

The Moscow Double Standard finds
another opportunity to rake up old
sores caused by Willis Sweets defeat
in the late legislature by noting that
Governor Mcconnell is causing def
cheney warrants for Mine Inspector
Dewey's salary. Under the heading,
''The Dewey Bribery" it threshes over
lot of old straw once more; but this
time generously exhonerates Senator
Shoup from any completely in securing
Dewey's detection, but claims
'The facts are that Mcconnell and
Browne picked up this poor boy be-
cause he was vain and inexperienced,
and by a process of lying and fattery
induced him to agree to support Nc
Connen when in the Judgment of the
great fakir the time was ripe. There
was one other inducement. Dewey
was to be appointed mine inspector.
When this trade became known, the
legislature showed its contempt for
both Mcconnell and Dewey by striking
from the appropriation bill the sum
set apart for the salary OF the mine in
spector. 1t was understood at the time
that this salary was refused because
the legislature was disgusted with the
bribery out of which Dewey received
his appointment. Poor Dewey's vanity
was such that when Nunkie asked his
advice relative to certain portions eff
his message, the senator from Owyhee
was lost in wonder and admiration at
his unwarranted Importance, and i'm
mediately surrendered. Dewey did not
know any better, and even those of his
own people who were satisfied with
Shoup we're astonished at his utter
lack Of integrity. But Mcconnell, who
debauches everything with which he
comes in contact, should have been
punished under the law which makes
bribery crime. It was just the same
as giving Dewey Eighteen Hundred
Dollars for his vote.

Immigration Convention.

In pursuance of a plan outlined by
the Northwest immigration Conven-
ton, held at st. Paul in November last,
Governor Mcconnell has issued call
for an immigration convention to be
held at Boise on April ID. The call
states that the objects Of the conven-
ton is to perfect state organization
in the interest of the encouragement of
immigration and to give to the repre-
sentatives of the various counties,
cities aud towns of the state, an oppor-
tunity to come together and present
the advantages their respective local
tiles offer to settlers who contemplate
engaging in agriculture, horticulture,
stock-raising, mining, or in any other
enterprise which may be named.
A basis of representation has been
fixed, and the governor of each state
and territory in the Northwest has been
invited to send delegates. Each county
in Idaho is expected to send delegates
and all newspaper publishers in the
state are invited to be present
This convention promises to be an
important one and will doubtless result
in widely advertising the resources and
advantages of the wonderful territory
embraced in what is generally recog-
nized as the Northwest.

Fourth of July and called it the In

Washington He, however. had few
hundred dollars, and de yeloped them.
He sold the Independence to San
Francisco syndicate; but the panic
came, and they failed in paying the
$780, 900. The mine yields nearly 100000
a month, and is valued at $4,000, 900.

Another illustration of fortunes

known to the miners as kentucky
Bill He obtained "gr1lio-stakc" of
provisions to the value of about
$25. from a Colorado Springs grocer,
and walked over the mountain to Grip
pie Creek. He located a mine and gave
a one-third interest to the grocer who
had staled him. Needing some ready
money, he sold another third inter
est to a negro, who was pursuing the
not very lucrative position of buying
unconsidered trifies in the shape Of sec
ond-hand clothes. In turn, the darl1y
SOL his share for $50, and thought
that he had made a great speculation.
But the lucky purchaser made a great
er, as he has refused 100000 for his
third interest. The darky believes
that he was 'hoodoed," and it was
never intended he shoula be rich.
Another fortunate man, n consump-

He went to an adjoining camp
and did work at carpentry for

built n log hut in Poverty Gulch" near

He ran up an account of $20 for bacon
