Deadwood, a distance of miles. One
mile from Elk, we cross Red River, a
tributary of Clearwater. You may
wonder what and where this river is.
There are three streams unite near
Elk City and form the south fork oil
the Clearwater River. These streams
are called, American River, Red River
and Crooked River. About one mile
from this point, or two miles out from
Elk, on the divide between Red River
and Deadwood, you can see mining
bitches, and the tops of whole noun
tains washed off in search for that al
mighty yellow dust. Next thing that
you would notice is Deadwood. Here
is another hydraulic mine which yields
up many thousand dollars of gold ev-
cry year. Next we cross the summit
to Crooked River. Let it be remem-
bered that, until thirty days ago, there
was not any road from Elk City to any
of these points beyond Elk City. There
was nothing but pack trail.
Near the mouth of Crooked River is
another large placer mine, which is
being developed. The company has let
at present, contracts for five miles OF
ditch. and are now erecting a saw mill
to cut timber to build fumes for the
mine and ditch. It is estimated that
it will require two hundred thousand
feet of lumber.
After we leave this point, Badger
City is the next point of interest. At
this point a ten stamp mill is going
up. There are now fifty men employ
ed. There are store, 2 saloons, l
hotel and other buildings.

On the isle is an interesting looking

you lose yourself in Capri's blue grotto.
You wind through the rocky passages

Before you is the Bay of Naples in its

Two Ministers and Two Peoples.

The United States Minister to the
Court of Madrid, reaching the bound
aries of the nation to which he is ac-
credited. is surrounded by a posse of
police for his protection against the
Spanish populace. The American Le-
cation in the Plaza San Martin is
guarded day and night by Gordon of
military with rifles loaded aud bayo-
nets fixed. Whenever any great event
stirs Spain-like the assassination OF a
Cuban general, for example-mobs pa
rade the streets shouting insults to the
United States and threatening its rep
resentatives. The guards about the
United States Legation and the Ameri-
can consulates are redoubled, and

sensitive people, content themselves
with the cheap insults of vulgar
mob.
Meanwhile in the United States the
eminent, Spanish Minister, Senior Du-
puy De LONE, enjoys complete free
dom from apprehension of either vio-
lence or insult. His residence at the
capital needs no guard. He travels
freely about the country from one
fashionable resort to another, seldom
recognized and never affronted. But
being animated by the same racial
qualities which characterize the Mad
rid mob, he cannot restrain his incli-
nations to repay toleration and even
courtesy with insult. His contemptu-
Gus comments upon the United States
Senate, his sneers at the Secretary Of
State pass all diplomatic bounds, but
the American people-perhaps because
they are not proud or sensitive-give
little heed to his utterances, and GER
tainly do not gather in mobs to sack
his official residence.
Senior De LONE has the advantage
of Minister Woodford in being accred-
tied to a civilized nation. Yet per-
sistent practice by him of the diplo-
macy of the mob may IN time become
irritating even to the placid and self
contained American people. ~. 7.

quite long. Some of them are fenced,

Next we come to Elk City. Al miles
from Harpster. Elk City has stores,
8 saloons, 2 hotels, l restaurant,
meat market and livery barns. In
Elk City you will meet one of the old
est persons in Idaho, Mrs. j. c.
Young. She made or helped to make
Queen Victoria's wedding dress. The
history of this old lady would. I'm
sure. be entertaining to most of my
readers, but will save that for another
time.
Elk City is the center of the Elk
City basin for business. The mines
are all placer, as there has been but
little work done on quartz.
One mile south of Elk is Buffalo
Hill mine, very large hydraulic mine.
1t runs 2 large hydraulic giants and
contains 40 miles of bitches altogether.
1t is estimated that the Cinnamon took
out of this mine over two million dol
lars.
One mile east is American Hill mine.
This mine in the early COS turned out
several thousand dollars. 1t was sup
posed at that time the mine was work
ed out, but three years ago, an old
channel was discovered, and proved
to be equal to or greater pay than in
the early days. This mine is now
owned by Chicago company. They
are washing down great mountains of
earth and in this mine there are some
great curiosities in the form or way of
petrified wood and other material.
Half mile south of this mine is an
other huge hydraulic mine, the Gold
Hill mine. This mine the company
has been working several men for
nearly two years, in getting it ready to
turn out gold. They have IL miles of
ditch and % large fumes.
One mile northeast is the Blue
Dragon quartz mine. This mine a
Montana company spent ten thousand
dollars last winter in developing this
property. 1t is estimated by conserva-
tive mining men that they have over
one hundred thousand dollars worth Of
ore on the dump.

An Overlooked Detail.

A painful event occurred on Tuesday
in the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals. at Denver, Justice Brewer,
of the Federal Supreme Court. presid-
ing. A case was up on appeal. Thom-
as D. Kelley had sold for 81 900 to a
mining company his share In proper
ty that turned out to be worth $50, ,OO0.-
900. He sought to set aside the sale
on the ground Of fraudulent misrepre-
sentation. The company demurred,
and the lower court sustained the de-
murer. Hence the appeal. Kelly's at
torney, former Judge Green. Of Dem
YER. in addressing the Circuit Court,
not only inveighed against the injus-
tice of this particular decision, but
made this general charge;
A remarkable fact in regard to all
these decisions of both State and Fed
eral courts In the State Of Colorado is
that they have been for years past,
and continue to be, wholly and abso-
lutely iu favor OF the parties who have
made large sums OF money as the re-
suit OF frauds and robberies. and in
variably against every poor man who
has attempted to contend against these
mine pirates in any OF the courts OF
Colorado.
1t is telegraphed that when the ex-
Colorado Judge had finished his ex-
pert description of Colorado's courts,
Justice Brewer arose and expressed
his surprise and deep grief at the oc-
currence, after which the the case was
taken under advisement. I" It Is added
that ian effort will be made to disbar
Judge Green" That Justice Brewer
should have been surprised and deeply
grieved is in strict conformity with iu-
dicial usage, and that Judge Green
should be disbarred, who with proper
respect for the forms OF law and the
dignity of courts will disputed But af-
ter Justice Brewer has recovered from
his surprise and grief, and Judge
Green has been disbarred, may it not
be that some idle and ignorant layman
will arise and inquire II it isn't worth
while to pay just little attention to
the question of whether or not there is
any truth In these statements made by
Judge Green as to the character OF the
courts of CoioradoP But this. OF
course, is a.detail.--M u Journal.

liTes: lay on the sidewalk in front OF the
Knciral Pharmacy.
: One. was Charles V. La Due, an employe
of be Pacific Coast Rorax Works. and the
gther was Miss Clara Palmer, The daugh-
Ter of Rudolph f. Fallmer, a news agent
on the broad gauge local, who resides at
1920 Union street. In the girls hand was
a.'sInoking revolver, which told palmer
: thar words who fired the shots.
No one of the crowds who stood around
'saw.the shooting. There was no prelim-
mary scene and 10 angry words were
heard. ;Che reports of the pistol were the
FIRST warning.
" Miss Fallmer was at the station await
ing the train, and when La Due alighted
she called him to her, and they stepped
over TO the pharmacy window, chatting
pleasantly meanwhile. Several fr ends of
La Due who saw them remarked that they
were talking quietly, when suddenly she
drew revolver and fired a shot into his
breast, and then without hesitation, she
turned the weapon upon herself. Both
fell, apparently dead.
The body OF the girl was taken to the
Park Hotel, and that of La Due was taken
TO his home, 1923 Webb avenue. The
wounds OF both we're pronounced fatal,
and no one was allowed to speak to either
of the victims.
DR.. Lubbock, who attended La Due says
the bullet entered just to the left OF the
breastbone between the second and third

the collarbone. De probed Tor 1t, but was
unable to locate it. If it entered the lung
cavity there is danger of internal hemor-
rhage.
Miss Fallmar was taken to the receiving
hospital in Oakland at o'clock. Her
wound is almost identical with that OF La
Due. The bullet could not be located by
probing.
Both were resting easily at late hour
tonight and there is a probability that
both may recover.
