IT MIGHT BE FOUND THERE.

The writer of this paragraph can
show where, years ago, he discovered
small seams of excellent coal cropping
out of the ground. T d. Catalan,
Judge L. j. Curtis, j, Brumback and
Andy Rutledge put man at work
prospecting for coal and arranged to
take up twelve hundred acres of land
on which to mine for that now much
sought mineral. The prospector sunk
shaft ten or twelve feet, run ont of
blasting powder and quit work, but he
quit with the indications good. He
shortly left the country and the party
intending to take up the land lost in
terest in the matter and never went
back. The time we speak of was Aug
ust, 1879, just eighteen years ago, and
we do not believe that any one has
ever prospected for coal there since.
The locality is about twenty miles from
Boise, on travelled road, with water
and timber at hand. lncidently we
might also say that it is on what has
been called the Boise Gold BELT. Eigh.
teen years ago there was no local de-
mand for coal except by the few black
smiths, and the nearest railway point
was KeltOn two hundred and sixty miles
distant. Now a coal mine would prove a
big fortune. Should this meet the eve
of any one who would like TO visit and
examine the ground the writer would
direct or accompany him there during
the coming fall.-Boise Democrat.

The mining industry never was more
prosperous, and never did better feel
ing prevail among mining men gen
orally throughout tine entire west than
at the present time, even though the
great silver mines at Park City, Utah,
and at Creole, Colorado, have been
forced to close down on account of the
low price of silver. From Colorado to
California, and from Arizona to Brit
ish Columbia one can scarcely find a
local paper in any mining district
which does not tell of new mines being
opened, new developments in mines,
new mills being put up, and a general
good feeling prevailing. In all of this,
Idaho is donating her full share. AL
most every county in the state is iiav-
ing something to tell of new mining
enterprises started, and of established
ones being more vigorously pushed.
All of this is going on without the
least hint at anything like a boom.

man, the escaped convicts, have armed
themselves and are ready to make a
fight for their liberty when overtaken.
Night before last hen roost was
raided about So miles up the river,
and little later, about midnight, the
Quirk ranch was burglarized and a
shotgun and Winchester taken.
While the men have not been seen,
Warden Van Dorm has no doubt the
thieves are the men for whom he is
looking. 1t is known they started up
the river, and theft of somekind has
been looked for from that quarter.
One man is close on the trail and
two more were started up the river
last night after the news was received.
The warden feels confident the fugi-
tives will be overhauled.
The men are evidently travelling at
night and lying by during the day.

HAPPY STATE or AFFAIRS.

There must be a happy state Of af-
fairs in Pocatello The last issue of
the Tribune contains the following:
"There are about fifty men in this
town who, whenever they get hot,
pick up club or bed Stat and beat the
lives out of their wives.
"Thts was the startling charge made
by Mayor Reeves last night against
the male bipeds of Pocatello. The
remark was brought forth by the ad.
vent of a GREATNESS man into the
council chamber, calling for the chief
of police and saying that man was
licking his wife and raising an awful
disturbance.
Several cases of wife beating have
come to light recently and it seems
that it is about time that an example
was made of some of that kind of
people and the Tribune would like to
see the whipping post re-establshed
for the especial benefit of wife beaters.
"The remark of the mayor at the
head of this article is the worst com
mentary upon Pocatello that we have
heard and if intended to be a literal
statement of fact would indicate that
our civilization is not much further
advanced than our neighbcrs on the
reservation"
