About Gold Creek.

The News, published at Gold
Creek, the new mining camp in
Elko county, Nevada, near the
Idaho border, publishes some facts
about that district that should have
the effect Of making prospectors
think twice before going there. Fol-
lowing is a statement of facts in the
News:
In the immediate vicinity Of Gold
Creek the ground is all located.
Some 200 quartz claims and 10000
acres of placers have been taken up,
and these cover all the land that is
valuable. Nor are many of these
claims held for speculation to be
transferred TO the first party max
ing an offer. Most of them are be-
ing surveyed for patent with view
of their development as a perma-
nent industry.
So far Gold Greek itself offers few
allurements to the ever restless pros
pector. However, in the surround
Ing territory camps may yet be dis
covered that are even as good as
Gold Creek. This hope is the pros
pector's goal and ever leads him on.
The camp has few accommoda-
tons for an influx of prospectors
and they are advised to wait until
the snow disappears from the
mountain slopes before entering
that region.

Women rs Citizens.

Since women in Idaho are enti-
tied to vote the rights and duties of
citizenship are beginning TO make
themselves felt by the newly en-
franchised citizens, all the more 30
because the average male citizen is
not prepared TO enlighten them to
any great extent. The following
article on this subject, from the
Denver News, may throw some light
upon the matter:
"a person who is born In the
United States BY virtue becomes
citizen, even if his or her parents
are foreigners.
"A woman of foreign birth be-
comes an American citizen on her
marriage with an American citizen.
"The naturalization of tho hus-
band also naturalizes the wife.
"A woman who comes to this
country three years before she is of
age I'll years. and resides in this
State for five years may then take
out papers without having first de-
clared her intention, but when she
takes her oath she must state that
it has been her intention for at least
two years to become an American
citizen.
"A woman who comes to this
country as a minor must be natur-
allied, unless her father is natural
lied. If he is a citizen she is also a
citizen, by virtue of that fact.
'If the woman is over 81 years Of
age on arriving III this country she
can vote upon declaring her inten-
ton to become a citizen and taking
out her first papers, providing the
papers have been taken out four
months prior to election. To be a
qualified elector in the State of Col
orado she must have resided in the
State six months, ninety days in
the county and ten days in the pre-
cinct before the election at which
she presents her ballot.
''To procure first papers the APP
plicant must take one witness who
is an American citizen. To obtain
final papers she must make it APP
pear to the satisfaction Of the court
that she has resided in the United
States five years and in Colorado
one year, at least; that she is per-
son of good moral character, at
tached to the principles of our con-
stitution, etc. This is generally
done by taking two witnesses, who
are American citizens This appli-
cation must be made in open court
to the judge of district. or the U. s.
circuit courts. First papers may be
issued by the clerk of any of the
above courts.
children who are living in the
United States are citizens on the
naturalization Of their parents, and
children of American citizens born
out of the country and it's jurisdic-
ton shall be considered American
citizens.

The Bribery Case.

The bribery investigating COM
mittee made its report to the House
last Saturday evening and it was
2 o'clock Sunday morning before
the matter was disposed of
Following is the report of com
mittee: Mr.. Speaker-Your special
committee appointed to investigate
rcharges of bribery in the matter of
the senatorial election have had the
same under consideration and we
submit the following report OF our
finding together with the affidavit
of H. S. JONES and the evidence
taken before US, which we herewith
transmit:
First-That the said II. S. JONES
did make the said affidavit and
that he did on several occasions try
to extort money corruptly from
different persons as certified to be-
fore the committee. The testimony
of the said Hugh S. JONES is con-
Trajectory in many points and that
we recommend that he be expelled
from the body of this house.
Second-That we further state
that the conduct of w. Y. Perkins
in his efforts to unduly influence H.
S. JONES by bride or otherwise is
highly culpable, and while the evil
dence is not so strong in his case as
that of said JONES, we believe he
should be expelled from this. floor,
but respectfully refer the matter Of
the said Perkins to the considera-
ton of the house.
Third-That the evidence before
us discloses the further fact that
money has been freely offered for
corrupt purposes by different
parties.

BOSTON. Aug. 23.-The Bostons climbed
two more rounds of the pennant ladder to-
day by winning both games from the Louis
yllec, the first Of their series here. The at
tendance was small. The cold east wind
made winter overcoats very comfortable and
the enthusiasm was chilled. The first game
was slow. sleepy and listless Stafford and
Dolan played wretched bali and their errors
gave the Bcstons all the runs they made
Louisville made two hits off Nichols in the
first inning and only one more in the ninth
A fine running catch by Clarke, line catch
by Allen and a foul catch by Bergen were
the only features.
In the second game Boston opened on
Clarke and pounded him numerically
throughout the game. They began the first
inning with two singles Ciple and home
run, and this was a sample of what hap
pened all through the game. Clarkes mag
nihcent fielding in left field was especially
noticeable He made fine catch close to
tho fence and another hot liner. Captain
Duffy was in his old time form and put two
balls over the fence in left field, Tenney
and Collins helped along the score by
heavy hitting. Score, first game:
