POINTS ABOUT FLAGS.

Tho Two-St4r5ed Flag on the Govern
or'1 Island Tug.
The president Of the United States
has his very gorgeous flag; the sec
retary of the navy and the assistant
secretary have their flags; admirlEls
have theirs, aud SO do .commodores;
but it isn't known very widely, perhaps,
that generals of the army also have
flags, which are hoisted sometimes, says
the New York Sun. The other day the
Governors Island tug left the land
ing at the Battery with q little blue
flag on her center flagstaff; on the
blue field of the flag were two white
stars. The major general command
ing the department of the east was on
the tug, and the little blue flag sig
nailed the fact to all who saw it and
knew what it meant. To those who
didn't know what it meant, it seemed
as if the flag was simply the remains
of a full-sized American flag, the rest
Of which had been blown away during
it's faithful service. The flag gave
warming to the Governors Islanders
that the general was coming, and so let
them prepare to receive him as regula
tions prescribe.

From all accounts Mcdonald is a
fit subject for detention in some in
stitution-probably a home for
idiots and kleptomaniacs. He is
not absolutely an idiot, q low cum
ming taking the place of sense, nor
is he insane. His mental weak
ness is sufficiently pronounced to
relieve him from responsibility for
his dishonesty. Many stories are
told of his actions, probably the
best being that told by Janitor A.
Drasher, of the court house.
In 1894 Drasher was employed
by farmer named Thompson liv-
ing in Pleasant Valley, Thompson
had several sets of harness stolen,
and suspecting the Mcdonald tribe,
got hold of Billy and accused him
of the theft. The charge being
pressed, Billy admitted the crime,
saying that he and an older brother
had stolen the harness, which they
had hidden on the Mcdonald ranch
on St. Mary's river, He offered to
show the place of concealment.
The next morning Thompson and
Drasher, accompanied by McDon-
aid, left for St. Mary's, and after
driving about So miles, just before
dark were told by Mcdonald that
they were close to the scene, and
could camp for the night. Unhitch,
ing the horses and making their
camp fire, Thompson thought it
would be we'll to get the harness
that night. The men started for
the place of concealment, McDon-
aid slipped out of sight, and was
seen no more. 1t afterwards trans

A Long Lost Mine.

The trip upon which Mr.. PlnneIl
and Kestner started last week Is
one Of more than ordinary interest
1t involves story as interesting as
the Lost Cabin or The johnson
mines, although in this case there
are no stories of fabulous wealth.
Seven years ago Lie hopkins,
who Is one ofthe presentparty, and
another old settler in this section
started from Palouse on the trail OF
some horse thieves. They followed
them far into the solitudes of the
rugged mountains Of northern
Idaho, but finally lost the trail and
their bearings One evening, while
fighting their way through tangle
Of brush and down timber they
emerged into canyon surrounded
on all sides by towering and al
most perpendicular mountains, the
ohly entrance being the one through
which they had come,
Here they were surprised to find
a weather beaten log cabin which
had partially gone to ruin, and near
by in the channel OF the stream
that wound its way through the
canyon were found rotten sluice
boxes. An old rusty fruit can was
standing on stump One of the
men out of curiosity, picked it up.
Ia it they found a fragment of a

prospectors, so the story goes, out
fitted at Lewiston and started into
the mountains. Some months later
two of them returned with consid-
cradle gold and bought a large
stock of supplies. Since that time
nothing more was seen of them.
Several years after the war was
over Mox Mox's people told of five
miners being killed by the Indians
in the same section of the noun
tains in which is this canyon. 1t
is q matter of conjecture only, but
there is a strong probability that
these five prospectors were the five
Indian victims and that it was
their hands that fashioned the now
decayed sluice box and the tumble
down cabin.
There are four in the party, the
fourth member being Francis Bill
lows of Moscow Mr., Hopkins
thinks he will have no trouble to
locate the spot, as he feels sure that
he knows where the little creek that
traverses the canyon empties, and
he will conduct the party UP the
stream. The route lies over some
almost impenetrable thickets and
fallen timber. They expect to
spend days in cutting their way,
progressing at the rate Of one or
two miles a day. 1t will take them
several weeks to reach their desti
nation. They are not expecting
mine of fabulous wealth, but are in
hopes Of finding some paying placer
ground, and at the same time graf
ify their curiosity.-Garfeld Enter,
