People Joining the Greeks
to Fight Turkey.
NJ. S. Chiuda, one of The editors OF the
San Francisco Slobada, which means lib
erty, has just received word from Euro
pean friends that there is likelihood of
general uprising OF the Servian people
a ainst the Turks.
Speaking OF the matter last night. he
said: "a local Servian society has re.
ceived letter from the headquarters of
the Se.vian Red Cross Society at Belgrade
to the effect that it is likely that Monte.
negro, Servia and Bulgaria will join with
Greece in the war against Turkey. The
letter calls on patriotic Serviaus in this
country to contribute to the fund for the
wounded and oppressed in old Servia."
Leading me embers of the ServIar- Mon te-
negrin Benevolent Society here say they
are willing to contribute literally TO the
fund in the event of such complications
as the letter foreshadows.

fear, in consideration of the high
taxation and lowness of our sill
yer product, that our great mines
here will be almost idle in 1897.
Clayton will be good and Gus
ter will be great, but we would
say to the outside world, that
you can not all come to Custer
and find employment. A cam D
largely overrun is little better
than one lying idle. In the for
mer case the overload sweeps
away the profit of all. People
should learn from the past. In
stead of urging the multitude to
come here, we desire, rather, to
have a smaller number, so that,
whoever does come, can gain in
worldly goods. Our country is
good for a few and on the in
crease; and could we have all the
precious metals coined it would
be safe field for vast number
of people.
The Yankee Fork district is,
on the whcle, looking well. but
its resources are, in our judg-
ment, very little known yet.
There was quartz ledge, long
since noticed a little, called the
Blue Lead. This is an immense
vein, situated about Al miles
above the mouth of Jordan creek.
1t has been taken up by Messrs.
Welborn, Harvey, Gordon and
others, of late, and they are find
ing ore in it that looks well bear
ing gold, silver and lead. 1t is
claimed that it is in we'll defined
walls, 900 feet wide. We formed
the acquaintance of Mr.. Gordon,
who had different selections of
the rock. 1t looks very favor
able. He was going to have it
assayed. We have not yet learn
ed Of results. If this proves a
paying proposition, for it can be
traced for a long distance, there
is no doubt the day is not far
distant when the prophecies of
the most visionary in former
days in relation to this camp will
be more than realized. Our be-
lief in the fact that the mineral
bodies of Salmon river and Yam
kee Fork surpass the world is
not shaken-but then-it is larg-
ely silver; although copper and
iron and coal will equal, if not
surpass the wealth of higher,
more precious minerals, when
time shall have produced its
natural proof. Old Custer is
coming slowly, but, when she
comes to herself, where she will
stand for ages, the world will see
the reason why we write, this
way, her standard.

father s inability to provide for
him, and his delicate frame and
tender years would have shield
ed him against an attack by any
thing on earth but a ferocious
beast of the jungles. The crime
was comitted twelve days ago,
and yet when the poor little boy
was stripped in court black spots
and bruises were still plainly
seen on many parts of his per
son. Among others, a negro
testified that he saw the boy
stripped an hour or two after the
beating was administrated, and
the black blood oozing from the
terrible bruises made him SO sick
he had to run away. Others tes-
titled equally as strongly. Il
was proven that the boy, young
and weak as he is, got up at 5
o'clock in the morning, MIXED
two cows, cleaned out the stab
les, ate breakfast at z o'clock
and then walked and drove two
horses with a harrow, until II 80,
and it was for stopping to rest
that he was so cruelty beaten.

RUINS !
A Portion of Bonanza in
Ruins by Fire.
Eight Large Buildings in Bonanza,
Idaho, were Dsstroyed by Fire
Last Tuesday.

Word reached Challis that on
Tuesday afternoon, May 18th,
a portion of Bonanza had been
swept by fire-that portion of
the town at the lower end of
Main street, on the east side, in
the vicinity of the old B. F. Rapp
livery stable. This entire block
was swept the flames. From
what we can learn, the fire orig
mated by a defective flue in the
residence formerly owned by Mr..
Martin, but occupied at the time
of the fire by John Lomberdeni.
From the place that the fire or
iginated the flames spread rapid
ly until the entire block of eight
buildings had been laid in ashes.
Bonanza is one of the most beau
tiful little mountain towns in
Idaho, but the fire of last week
has made it a place of ruin and
desolation. The town for the
past few years has been almost
deserted, but it had hopes for
the future. We can recall the
time when Bonanza had thous-
ands of people. At that time a
fine system of water works was
placed in the town at a great ex-
pense and was capable of ex-
tinguishing almost any fire, but
as town began to go down we
presume its water works were
neglected, which might have
been of great service on Tuesday
last. The buildings burned were
all of either frame structures or
log buildings, and some of them
were large and valuable build
iugs, and it is difficult at this
time to estimate the loss of them
and their contents. We are in
formed that none of these build
ings carried any insurance. Chal
lis sympathizes with our sister
town in their loss, for we receiv.
ed q shock from the fire fiend
some three years ago from which
the town will probably recover.
County Commissioner George
MCGOWAN will suffer the great
est loss by the Bonanza fire, as
be lost his entire buildings, stock
of merchandise, meat market
implements and his set of ac-
count books, which is estimated
at So, 900. A year or so ago Mr..
MCGOWAN had established a gen
eral merchandise store in that
camp and had made it a paying
business, but this fire consumed
what was left. Among other
buildings burned was the fine
frame residence owned by JAS.
Hooper, formerly occupied by
Hon. Cal. G. Clawson and family;
the large B. f. Rapp livery
stable and cabin; the Martin
blacksmith shop and residence
and the old stage barn. Custer
county is surely out of luck this
year, between the Bunting bank
failure, fires, low price silver
and lead and high taxes, it is
very discouraging, indeed.

Outlook In Custer County

On Saturday last we returned
from short ride to Custer, find
ing on our route everybody in a
general state of good health. At
Robinson Bar the country seems
to be running all right. Some
improvements going on. Roads
good with the exception of few
mud holes; and these will soon
be fixed as the road men are out.
At Custer everything is on the
change. Mr.. Treweek is there.
The old Custer mill is all gutted
out. New machinery; new pro-
cess; new ideas and new start.
The Company's new saw mill on
West Fork, is cutting lumber and
men are hauling it to the quartz
mill for the great changes that
are being made. The old mill,
inside; looks as if a cyclone had
struck it-nothing much but the
boilers and engine remain for use
in the main building, but Mr..
Treweek informs US that he has
new machinery to fill up these
vacancies coming from Denver.
The Lucky Boy is said to be
looking very strong; also the
Black mine is now said 10 look
better than ever before. We had
not time to visit either one but,
undoubtedly, both mines are
showing good ore.
IL is a pleasure to see the old
camp appearing so hopeful
good times ahead there.
Everett Vance was up to the
Yankee Fork mill, and says the
saw mill is running and the
quartz mill is progressing in a
very satisfactory manner. All
were glad to hear this, for Col.
McFadden has been most faith
full in his efforts to accomplish
this much desired improvement;
desirable to have on that noun
tain as well as on the Colonels
personal behalf. Such perser-
verance should always be re-
warded with success. And it is
to be hoped that this start will
ultimate in aproper development
of that vast, rich mining region.
At Clayton there is a good
promise of considerable work
this Summer. The Company has
got their Burleigh drill running
on the Redbird, which always
produces all the fiux for the high
grades, and the mines on Power
ty Flat are reported as looking
remarkably well. Here iswhere
the finest ores of all this country
are found. There is quite force
working on the Skylark, although
this far famed lode is not show
ing quite equal to former days.
| Chances are largely in favor of
its coming to its old standard be-
fore long. The smelter is to
start, and, all things continuing
favorable, Clayton will will out
strip herself this year in busi-
ness activity.
Mr.. Salisbury has not arrived
Bayhorse; therefore we can give
no reliable information as to the
famount of life in this rich camp.

A GREAT RIVER.
Marco Polo's Hcport Concerning the Gi-
rantic Yang-tsc- Kiang.

Marco Polo's Ecport Concerning the Gi,
rantic YRng-tse- Kiang.
Noah Brooks quotes the following
from the great Venetian traveller in his
series of ST. Nicholas papers 1.-THE
True Story of Marco Polo:"
And 1 assure you this river flows so
far and traverses so many countries and
cities that in good sooth there pass and
repass Oh its waters a great number of
vessels and more wealth and merchan-
disc than all the rivers and all the seas
Of ChIistondom put together. 1t seems
indeed more like a sea than river. Mes
scr Marco Polo said that he once beheld
at that city 10, 600 vessels at one time.
And you may judge if this city Of no
great size has such a number, how many
must there be altogether, considering
that On the banks Of this river there are
more than 16 provinces and more than
900 great cities, besides towns and vii
lagos, all possessing vessels.
Mosser Marco Polo aforesaid tells us
that he heard from the officer employed
to collect the great khan duties on this
river that there passed up stream 200,
600 vessels in the year, without count
ing those that passed downl Indeed, as
it has a course Of such great length and
receives so many other navigable rivers,
it is no wonder that the merchandise
which is borne on it is Of vast amount
and value And the article in largest
quantity Of all is salt, which is carried
by this river and its branches to all the
cities on their banks and thence to the
other cities in the interior.
The vessels which ply on this river
are decked. They have but one mast
but they arc. Of great burthen, for car
assure you they carry, reckoning by oul
weight, from 1000 to ~, 600 cantarl
each. In going up stream they have tC
be hauled, for the current is so strong
that they could not make head in any
other manner. Now the towline, which
is some 300 PAGES in length, is made O
nothing but cane 'Tis in this way
They have those great canes Of which
told you before that they are some 1!
PAGES in length. These they take anC
split from end to end into many slende
strips, and then they twist these strip
together so as to make a rope Of an.
length they please And the ropes 81
made are stronger than if they wer
made of hemp.
