had quarrel with his sister, Mrs. Har-
riett Hamlin, of this city. He has never
done anything for her. but yesterday two
letters arrived, one for each of her sons,
Earl and Harry. The envelope for Earl
confined check for $1,000 and the one for
Harry contained $4,000 check. What actu-
ated him in sending the money is not
known. Harry HamIn is married and is
located at Akron, o., where he is manager
for the Armour Company. Earl is unmar-
ried and lives with his mother in this city.
Z. L. Bray, formerly of this city, located
some mining claims at Eureka, New, thirty
years ago. Recently he got clear title

IN the mines, organized a company to work
them and pay ore of the richest quality is

Emmons Brown, son of J. E. Brown,
of this, county, has been working for an
uncle, a large stock dealer, near Boise City,
Ida for some time. Recently some of the

the animals Brown made most romantic
find. His horse stumbled, throwing him
to the ground. AS he got up, he noticed
Jumps of what appeared to be gold. He
picked up several specimens, had them
assayed, and found them very rich. He at
once staked out several claims and will
purchase machinery and work the mines.
