PACK TRAIN DROWNED.
Fourteen Animals Fall from Trail
Into the Salmon River.


Grangeville Press: A horrible &C
cident is reported to have occurred
near the mouth of the Rapid river.
A pack train of 4 horses, all tailed
to each other, started up high bluff
over hanging the big eddy on the
Little Salmon The leaders made an
effort to climb steep place on the
bluff, but were pulled back by the
Others and fell over the bluff In Il
moment the whole outfit had gone
over the edge and was struggling in
the eddy
The driver made frantic effort to
rope the struggling animals and pull
some of them out. AS, however, they
had mostly fallen in a confused mass,
aud were heavily packed, little could
be seen of the train above the water,
which runs swift and deep at this
point. Two of the drivers almost
lost their lives, and every animal il
train was killed The packs, up tC
the present, have not been recovered

EXPERTS IN COPPER COUNTRY
Western Mining World.

The Seven Devils district of Idaho,
owing TO the high price of copper
and the increased attractiveness Of
all copper properties, is now the
scene of the greatest activity and will
be thronged with prospectors and
mining men generally this summer.
1t has long been regarded as a coun-

but heretofore it has been almost in
accessible Two railroads arc now
headed that way and it will soon be

just sent n man in there with in>
sructions to stay there and get
something Mr. Clark has the nerve
as well as the judgment to undertake
most anything that comes along in
the mining line, and we may not be
surprised at any time to hear that he
has secured one of the great copper
properties OF the Seven Devils. w.

got n foothod there Two of his

Nature has been so generous with But

improve upon the result with his mite.
Here nature has done everything but lay
water pipes and connect them With the
cottages. She has even furnished the
reservoirs. for there are natural lakes at

IS doubtful il there viii be an open hack
