IOAHo's MINERAL PRODUCT.

Idaho is the fifth state in the union
in the output of gold and silver, hay
ing produced in round numbers $1,000
COO in the year 1896. California, far
famed for its mineral wealth, pro
dueed only S16O0OO0O, The outlook in
Idaho gives indication that within the
next few years the output for the
state will exceed that of California.
The interior of the state is just being
opened up. The prospector who has
for years known of veins, bars and led
ges has at last succeeded in interesting
the capitalist in the development of
these properties. Active mining in
the interior of Idaho is yet in its be.
ginning. Owing to the inaccessible
nature of the country rich ore de-
posits have been neglected. This year
will see a great development of prom
Using properties, and it would not be
at all surprising if some fortunate
prospector or company would happen
upon some of the famous lodges whose
fragments found in placer ground
made Idaho SO noted as the Golden
Golconda in the good old booming
times of the early sixties.-Lewiston

TWO LUCKY MINERS.

Yesterday Messrs. D. C. Brichaux
and Ernest Bahler arrived in this city
from Louise Creek, 90 miles distant.
bringing with them something like
two quarts of gold they cornered in
their valuable placer mines. The val
ne of this metal is not far from $4,000.
The gold is of the coarse variety. One
third or more ranges from the size of
wheat kernals and peas to nuggets as
big as beans. This cleanup has result
ted from the labor of two men for 81
days. Their actual working time was
really less than that, because they were
delayed by break in the reservoir,
and this mishap is unlikely to occur
again, as they were most careful to
doctor up the storage place Of the pre-
cious liquid. They are soon to con
tinue work, and reasonably figure on
another dnd and another addition to
their bank account-Bsker City Demo

Caldwelfs celebration of the Fourth
of July this year will farexcel anything
before attempted. For over two
months committees have been working
assiduously at the various tasks set
them, and all with one object in view
"a grand aud glorious celebration.
From all we hear that everything is
now ready and all is needed is a fine

The Fourth will be ushered in with a
grand salute at sunrise. The roar of

take of all they can eat, and we be-
lieye the dinner will be the feature of
the day
Al three O'Clock a program of horse
racing, bicycle, and fuot races will be
disposed of at the fair grounds, and
from the number of entries talked Of
for the various events the afternoon
should prove very enjoyable one.
The pyrotechnic display at dark
should be nothing short of grand.
Quite variety of fireworks have been
bought, and as none are to be carried
over, rockets torpedoes, wheels and
every other device and design will be
burning a going up for fully an hour
The days celebration will conclude at
the Armory hall with grand ball. An
excellent orchestra has been engaged
for the evening, together with the mag
nifcent and roomy hall-which is the
largest in the state, 5Ox80-should well
satisfy all who wish to close the day
by dancing in new one.
Invitations were recently sent the
Governor and staff, the Mayor and City
Council, the &. A. r, of Canyon County
and the Fire Companies of Caldwell to
participate in the celebration, from all
OF whom favorable responses were re-
ceiyetf.

MAYOR GLEASON AT THE IRISH
FAIR

One evening this week, when the Irish
Palace Building Fair was at its height, the
Hon. Patrick Jerome Gleason, Mayor of
Long Island City, and candidate for Mayor
sight, strolled in. His shiny black beaver
was set jauntily on his head, his carefully
brushed locks curled gracefully out from
beneath its rim, to twirl about his ears,
and his iewelled battle-axe cleaned apon
his coat lapel. Ladies flocked around him
lke bees about a flower, and in ten
minutes he had taken chances on house
and lot, n silver mounted rolling pin, a
patent chicken coop, dog cart, set of
boxing gloves, silk dress, checker board,

Massach usehs Legislature.

Boston, May 19.-Inquiries into the
Connecticut river navigation and into
the effect Of convict labor on free labor
were ordered by vote OF the house yes
terday, reports on each to be made to the
next legislature. The bill to abolish Jury
kerins was passed to engrossment. An
Interesting episode In the agitation over
the bill for protected platforms on street
cars was the petition from street car en-
pioyes protesting against enclosed plat
forms. The minor elevated schemes
were dropped out of sight for this year
by the acceptance OF the adverse COM
mittee reports on them. The revised
uublic dock scheme was favored by the
ways and means committee, which
recommends the taking of the East Bos-
ton fats and the building OF a dock on
the commonwealth lands. The governor
signed the bill restricting the number of
prison laborers who may be employed
on particular branches of industry. A
virtual victory for the McTammany
voting machine was betokened by COM
mittee report authorizing the taking by
the state OF so improved machines. The
house voted not to decrease the appro-
priation for roadways and boulevards In
the Metropolitan park system from
II 100000 to $500,000, and then passed to

John l.. Best and William Gum, charged
with selling for food beef that was af-
fected with tuberculosis, was concluded
last night and the case went to the jury

defense. The defense was that the con-
demned cattle were all disposed Of by the
rendering process, according to agree
raent with the cattle commissioners, and
that the story of illegal sale was started
by Charles McDermott. a driver. who
had grudge against the foreman Of the

prices as we were able to get at that time.
But that time has long since expired.
The city is growing fast and its water
necessities increase accordingly. What
was surplus will not be such in COM
paratively few years. The present con-
tract with East Providence does not expire
until 1900; surely there Is time between
this and that date to give careful atten-
tion to a proposition that will bind us
until 1910.
In behalf of the city Mr.. Arnold argues
that II in 1900 1t is found that there is, and
probab bly, will be, water to spare, THAT new
terms of sale can be made OF greater ad-
vantage than the old, and he advises
against hurried and irregular action.
Why should Mr.. Arnold "protests" Be-
cause as president of the Town Council he
appointed the first committee to procure a
water supply for the town, and was by the
Council made chairman of that committee?
This committee and the commissioners
who succeeded it, after surmounting all
the difficulties that attended its introduc-
ton, gave the city of Pawtucket system
of water works that is not excelled by any
in the country.
Whose opinion is there OF any greater
value on the subject than Mr.. Arnold's?
