vile yesterday, of a wonderfully
ricn strike made in the Wise Boy,
at Buffalo Hump. This property
always did have a wonderful show
ing and now the results of deyel-
opment justify it's surface showing.

from Lewiston where he went to
receive a carload of wagons, bug
g'rs and sleighs, for Henry Wax
who is conducting the Studebaker

The petition for a writ of prohi-
bi'ion, which was presented yes
terday. TO his Honor Judge Steele,
to restrain the Village Of Grange
vile from the collection of the IL
cense tax, has been refused by the
court, on the grounds of insuffic-
lent showing, and as a consequence
the city will proceed to collect IL
cense tax as usual.
Word was received here last
night of the new strike in the rich
Dewey property, on the Clearwater.
The whole shaft is now in ore and
there is one rich streak running
through the main body of ore,
which gives assays of 4.6 per cent
copper, q ounces to the ton sill
yer and II ounces gold, giving an
approximate return of $454. O6 to
the ton.

A magnificent specimen of ore
from the Dewey is on exhibition al
H. Wax's store. 1t weighs 2O(
pounds, and an assay of some
pieces Clipped from it gave re
turns of $50 per ton. 1t is without
doubt the very finest concentrat
ing proposition ever worked in thil
section, and from all appearances
it is going to make a mine, and ,
big mine at that.
j. M. Klotz, one of the owner
of the NewsOme Belle and at pres
ent sojourning in Grangeville, ad
vises that he received this weel
some average samples Of ore from
the claim, sent him by Fritz Lob
man, and that having the same as
sayed, he was gratified by gettin,
returns of the value of $S2 per tol
in gold. There is no question
about Newsome creek. All sh
wants is a little more work and ma
chinery, to he one of the heavies
gold producers, not only in Idah
county, but in the entire state.
The last of the two sick me-
who have been quarantined OF
account Of alleged small pox wa
discharged from the pest hous
today thoroughly cured of thei
ailments. AS a precautionary
measure the building will be sui
jected to a thorough cleansing
fumigating and disinfecting process
SO that whatever germs may be lay
+ ing dormant will be exterminatei
The entire scare seems to hay
been a case Of much ado abor

+ time to the winter schedule, yeste
day, laying over at Cottonwood a
. night and coming across the prair

This is in all likelihood the la
winter of staging we shall hav
but we have had such severe di

feel sure of nothing, and propose
