There has been so much discussion
over the parts taken by the American
ships that destroyed Admiral Cervera's
squadron, and there have been so many
accounts by eye witnesses giving the
credit to one or two ships, that some
figures taken from tables and charts
prepared by an examining board will
be OF interest. An examination of the
hulls of the Spanish vessels above the

KLoNDYkERs RETURN.

Three csIdweIlitss Return From the Frozen
North After Years Absence.
I. w. Boone, Chris Fahy and w. E.
Moseby who left Caldwell last August
for the Klondyke gold fields, have re-
turned home and are being kept busy
by their numerous friends telling of
the wonders and their experience in
the land of snow, ice and gold nuggets.
Messrs Fahy and Boone came in Fri
day night, but Mr.. Moseby did not get
here until Monday. The former gen
tlemen came to Seattle on an American
line steamer, Mr.. Moseby making the
trip on British boat. A report was
circulated that Mr.. M0seby refused to
take the American boat on account of
fears that it would be captured by the
Spaniards. The report, however, is
strenuously denied by the gentleman,
who says it was the bad accommoda-
tions of the boat that he kicked at. He
had purchased ticket to come down
on the American boat, but sold it at
the last moment.
The gentlemen, from their CONVEX
sation, all appear to have had enough
os that country and say that the re-
ports of the strike are all exaggerated
over half before they reach this portion
of the country. They estimate that
the gold output this season will not
amount to over 100000, and there is
not the least doubt but that fully that
amount, or more, has been taken in bv
prospectors. Living is very high in
the interior and man has about all he |
can do to keep even. When the gen.
tlemen left, flour was bringing IS per |
sack, bacon 40 cents per pound and a
common sheep was worth from $50 90 |
to $1,000. They brought back some
fine nuggets with them, but we would
Judge from their talk that their pockets
are no heavier than when they left.
They intimate that they came out
about even, with the experience of the
trip ahead.

CANYON county is favored this
week by editorial pointers from
Minneapolis. AT any rate the
pointers read like one Hall talks.
Barring his disposition to advise
the voters of Canyon, Mr.. Hall
exhibits a nice personality, and
We trust he is having a real good
outing and getting plenty of nerve
nutriment. We heard a hard
headed rancher estimating his
(HalPs) expenses, etc, while TAX
ing his little outing, and then sug-
gest that they would probably
offset the famous 5000. Strange
the way people will figure. Most
of them have read Judge Beatty's
decision too, and fail to remember
that he said anything about 5000.
Il the bridge election carries, it
will not be because of Mr.. Halls
gracious presence, but because
the people of the county want the
bridges.
