One OF the absconders referred to in
the following, which we copy from the
Caldwell Tribune, was a former resi-
dent of DeLamar. He never could
have got away with the wages of any
employees here, as he was too well
KIN twn:
Some time ago couple of men leased
a mine in the Willow Creek district,
and after making considerable clean
up, went to Boise to dispose of their
bullion. Instead of returning to camp
and settling up their bills which were
quite large, they concluded to slope.
They went to a little town some two
.O..I. dn, ten miles west of Boise and
sv0tc themselves to having a good
time. One of their creditors who hap
pened to be former employee, was So
lourning at that same town. He was
dead broke anu in bad health. When
he found out that the sioping lessees
were about, he telegrapheI the sheriff
OF Ada county, who promptly wired the
sheriff of tue locality where the alb
scOnuing lesseeS were, advising him to
apprehend them as warrant of arrest
hliu been placed in his hands. The
sheriff at the little town two score and
ten miles west, paid no attention to the
request of his brother official at Boise,
ana the men with the swag continued
their festivities without interruption.
The creditor, busted miner aforesaid,
who ha been obliget to seek foo anu
shelter at the county poor farm re-
newell his efforts to have his debtors,
the sloping iessees, arrested but the Of
ficial would not. Finally evening came
on, the men with the swag were having
"a high old time, but they had heard that
the miuions of the law were showing
symptoms of activity at the Boise end. |
They promptly gave notice that they |
wouli be ooiigei to tear themselves |
away upon the first west bound freight |
train. The poor, busted, INDECENT at
the poor farm, heard of the intended |
departure and made another effort to
detain his debtors. He tried to reach |
the sheriff but that terror to culprits
had gone to the show and the INDECENT
CT itor did not have half dollar by
which TO gain aoimittance into that
sa ctuary. So the sloping lessees
81 ped for good and have not since
been heard from. The next morning
when some officious individual under
took to demonstrate with the sheriff.
that honorable dignitary observed that
he didn't make the arrest because he
was not quite certain there was any
thing in it for him.

THE COPPER DISTRICT.

The objective point of the railway
| ouDtles5 is the great upper district
in the southern portion OF the seven
Devils RANGE. 1t has been accessible
or years by fair wagon road most OF
the way, lea ling up ir ON the town OF
Neiser along VANS creek, then to Mid
lie valley and Council valley, on the
Weiser river. Thence up Horner creek
across to Indian creek to the north
westward, to the foot OF the mountains.
rhe valleys contain as productive
farms and oschlrIs as can be found
anywhere in the country.
Monument mountain, on which the
copper deposits or veins are situate
has an altitude of probably 5000 feet,
and is about five miles in length from
north to south, and three miles i'll
width. The territory over which the
copper mauifests itself is equal to
about five or six square miles, and is
ibout four miles distant from Snake
river.
The crown and the northern and
eastern sides of the mountain are com
posed OF gray eruptiVe granite, con-
81 erably GecompoSed in places. Here
and there are found remnants OF a
limestone stratum. The base, or rath-
er about three fourths of the west am
south slopes Of the mountain are Gov
ared with porphyry, and the foothills
sloping away to the Snake river are
composed of the same material. Be-
tween the porphyry and granite is an
iltercalated stratum of vitrouS lime
stone OF variable thickness, and at pla-
ces it disappears entirely. 1t is next to
this limestone, or replacing it entirely.
thht the Seven Devils copper vein is To-
Gated. On the northern end, at the
Peacock mine. the vein crops at an al
titude of 67O0 feet From this point it
takes "a course trifle west of south,
then south. and then southeast, swing
ing in Sc ni-circle arounl the moun-
tain, and showing itself over course
of about five miles in length, and los
ing in altitu,,e about 200 feet. In one
pace the Peacock mine) the ore bo1y,
rs exposed, occupies nearly horizon
tai position, while a mile south the
vein was foun standing vertical, and
between lime AMI granite. Still fur
thor along on the vein southwark,
probably mile distant, tunnel driv-
en- in northeasterly dire ction, dis
closed lime, porphyry, lime, ore and
lime again.
Associated with the ore are vast
bodies of garnets, doubtless resulting
from an alteration of the accompany
ing limestone, also iron, quartz, calc-
spar, amphi5ole and chrysolite.

The Seven Devils.

The probability that railroad will
be constructed to the famous Seven
Devils country, during the present year
is bringing that district into enviable
prominence. The Denver Mining In.
dustry OF the 18th instant publishes an
article from the pen of A. f. Wuensch,
NJ. E., giving an interesting description
OF the country aud OF the located mines
of the district, from which we copy the
following:
The district is situated on the east
SIDE OF the great Snake river canyon,
about midway between the crossing OF
the Snake river by the Oregon short
line railroad, and the confluence OF the
Salmon aud the Snake rivers.
The Seven Devils range OF mountains
is about 80 TO ~ mics i'll length, and 10
to ~ miies in wi tn. The fertile Wei
ser and Salmon river valleys bor.er
-he range oil the east. There are seven
Istiuct peaks in the range, none of
Ah4ch Seem to have an a,titu le OF over
40 ieet, out this appears high as the
e - ironing streams aud valleys are but
tUJJ to 26O0 leet above sea level. The
growth OF timber Goes not reach to as
-,reat an "a JItJ.e as in Colorado, an,
.he peaks stand out clear and rugged,
Shiie the lower slope ami foothills are
most deDsely covered with fir, pine and
spruce trees On the west or Snake
ilver size the confines of the range are
sharp, generally terminating with the
great canyon, which is almost as i'm
Jressive as the Grand Canyon OF the
Coiora o, and more 80 than the canyon
Of the Guunison. Lateral canyons and
gulches reach out into the mountains,
md whore they oe. ouch into the main
canyon h y have formed frequent eX
.ensige bed, or bars OF SAM and gravel
hat have y.eloed much placer gold ill
the pa5t. Some of the washings are so
inaccessible, that early miners were let
own to them from the overhanging
precipice and left there for the sum
mer to wa, h for gold and then drawn
out again at the close of the season by
their friends who meanwhile were 9th
erwise engaged. The Snake river,
through the canyon is a swift turbu-
Aont stream, with large boul ers and
rapi is and whiripools. In 1883 or 1850
a whole party of surveyors for the
Union Pacific Railway company lost
their lives in the destruction of their
boat, and when years later the writer
was engaged with others i'll making a
reconnaissance of the
country, there was no disposition on
the part OF any of the corps to repeat
the hazardous experience of their pre-
ieceSSor.

by looping off the leaves. Those
who treat Catarrh with sprays,

AS EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE.

After about two years work on EIizur
Wrights Boston Chronotype, a daily
newspaper, he joined the staff of the
New York Tribune, in 1S47 Eight months
of after his return he became
of the next year he spent in Europe,
and after his return he became one of
the -proprietors and managing editor of
the Tribune, holding that post until
April /, 1862.
Under his direction the Tribune main
tanned a steady policy as the leading
organ of the anti-slayery sentiment. The
great struggle of the Tribune under
/ Greeley and Dana was not so much for
the overthrow of slavery where it al
| ready existed as against the spread of
| the institution over unoccupied terri
| tory. In the Tribune's opposition to the
attempt to break down the Missouri
compromise and to carry slavery into
Kansas and Nebraska, and in the de-
| velopment of and organization of the
popular sentiment which gave birth to
the Republican party and led to the cleo
ton of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, Mr..
| Dana bore no unimpOrtant part.
| In 1861 he went to Albany to advance
the cause Of Mr.. Greeley as a candidate
| LOT tuc OHlteu states senate, ana near
| ly succeeded in nominating him. During
the first years of the war the ideas of
| Mr.. Greeley and those of Mr.. Dana in
regard to the proper conduct of military
| operations were somewhat at variance;
and this disagreement resulted in the
resignation of Mr.. Dana, after fifteen
years service on the Tribune. He was
at once employed by Secretary Stanton
in special work of Importance for the
War Department, and in 1868 was APP
pointed Assistant Secretary Of War
