Found Drowned.

Harry Cone, who is up from the
Salmon river, brings word that an
old man was found drowned in the
river Saturday. The body was dis
covered between ROBBIE & Smiths
ranch and Bailey Chamberlain S
place. The deceased appeared to
be about 20 years of age and had
no papers Of any description upon
him, but cash in the sum of SO. so.
No one living on the river could be
found to identify the body, which
bore traces of having been in the
water a long while. Deceased is
described as being of dark COM
plexion, 5 feet inches high, heavy
set, and wore a Mackinaw coat and
German socks.
LATER-It is believed that the
body found in the Salmon river is
that of o. Brien, one of the Mallick
miners drowned nearly two months
ago. The description given tallies
in every particular. The body has
been buried on the Salmon river as
its condition would not permit of
any delay.

That Weather Prophet.

The weekly weather forecast OF
the Z. S. meteorological station at
Portland says:
1.-The weather conditions are
slowly approaching the summer
type, and the appearance of that
type means warm weather and
little rain. 1t is reasonable to as
sumo that much warmer weather
will soon prevail.
No one will doubt that the
official forecaster has reached cor
rect conclusions of perfect sylIo-
gisms and magnificent course of
reasoning. People up here in the
bunchgrass region will accept as
true the statement that summer is
coming, and that when summer
arrives, it will be warmer than
winter. Taxpayers who keep up
the government stations of this
character will feel highly pleased
that their public servants have thus
reached such "a lofty plane of seien-
tific demonstration as to enable the
weather man to tell them in SO
authoritative a tone that summer is
coming, and that summer is warm
er than winter.

$l,o75.oo Lost.

This amount was lost to the city
of Lewiston at IL O'Clock midnight,
May 6. At that hour every species

ceased to be n source of revenue to
the city. This may be WELLS we'll

end of it. The law says :sThou
shalt not" but they do" Just the
same, and no doubt but this human
law in its workings will be set
aside the same as the higher

fronts this people is, "How are we
going to raise this additional reye-
nue.? Are the people ready and
willing to have s1,075. 90 assessed
up against their real estate hold

Athletic Contest,

Grangeville is nothing if not
up-to-date these days, and the
latest fin de steele squirt has been
made in the direction of an athletic
and scientific contest, wherein the
manly art Of self-defense will be
illustrated in all it's branches.
Saturday next at l. o. @. F.
hall an athletic exhibition and con-
test will take place under the man.
agement Of Charles Rivers, of
Oakesdale, Wash, and A. Harding
Of Chicago. The village trustees
have accorded the necessary per-
mission, it being shown that the
contest is to be Of a purely scientific
nature, the boxing to be for points
and the balance of the exhibition
being made up Of club-swinging,
dumb-bell lifting and bag-punching.
The prime event, however, will
be a fifteen-round glove contest
for points between Chas. Rivers and
Geo. Bennett of Philadelphia. Both
gentlemen have good regulations
for generalship in the ring, Mr..
Rivers having travelled and given
exhibitions with Dick Case all
through the northwest for three
years, and besides coming out
winner in a number of events,
fought Jack Smith of Tacoma to a
draw after 80 rounds. George
Bennett is at present the favorite
among the local sports, he having
a very fine reputation in the west
and particularly in the east, being
looked upon in Philadelphia as a
very hard man to beat either in a
contest for points or fight to the
finish. Prices of admission will be
announced later.

MACHINERY FOR HIYU.
Capacity Of the Mill will Be
Doubled-NeW Hoist
and Pump

A large amount OF new machin-
cry will soon be installed on the
Hiyu mine, near Florence, which
has recently come into considerable
prominence because of the large
body of rich ore found in one of the
drifts, says the Chronicle. A hoist
and new pump are to be put in at
once, while the capacity of the
present stamp mill is to be doubled
as soon as the machinery can be
received from the east.
A 2O-horse boiler, large hoist,
new pump and several extras
needed for the present stamp mill
arrived at Lewiston last week and
are now on their way into Florence.
The purchase of this machinery
will probably cause a delay in the
time of starting the five stamp mill
now in the place at the mine.
There has been an abundance of
ore for a mill run on the dump for
some time but the starting of the
mill has been delayed. There is
now large quantity of the rich
ore from the new find on the dump
and with the aid of new machinery
no trouble will be had in keeping
the mill going constantly once it
is started.
With the stamp mill grinding
away on $50 ore, no trouble will be
had in making the Hiyu more than
self-supporting this year. All the
machinery desired can be secured
and some Of the local stock holders
even go 80 far as to expect a divi-
dend as q result of the season. run.

A Good Word for Idaho.

"Idah0 is the coming state of
the Union," said l. N. Stevens to
the Denver Republican last week.
1T is just as Colorado was 80 years
ago. 1t is on the verge of a great,
big boom. Every industry is in
an incipient stage, but what little
has been done in development
opens wonderful vista OF posi-
bilities.
"Within the next IL months the
Seven Devils mining district will
develop into the greatest copper
mining section in the United States.
There is plenty of gold and silver
in paying quantities, but copper is
plentiful and can be mined easier
and that is the metal now in de-
mand. People are focking in from
the east and what is better yet,
capital is coming. There is a
universal air of prosperity over the
state. The riches are by no means
confined to mining, while that in
dustry will be first to make the
state famous.
Agriculture and fruit raising
will be two of the great industries.
There is an abundance of water
and the streams seam the country.
The fruit farms are magnificent,
and the product rivals that of
California"
j. ID. Lille, who is freighting be-
tween Lewiston and Grangeville,
reports thirty-seven hortes lying
alongside the road, their heels up
turned to the armament. which had
died within two days, and Mr.. Lille
also lost valuable animal, which
had been turned out to Craze after
being fed grain in the evening after
embarrassing. He can attribute
this mortality among the horses
only to the recklessness OF the
farmers in putting out squirrel
poison, when q single teaspoonful
will accomplish the purpose, if in
diligently placed, without endan-
gering the lives Of animals from
whose services industrious and
necessary freighters earn their live

says: Several pack trains come up
the river daily, and all sorts of men
bound for Mallick district and in
cidentally Buffalo Hump. 1t is
dangerous following the trail, as
no travel practically exists much
beyond the bridge on the divides on
account of the deep snow which the
stormy state of the weather does
nothing to abate. Several men
have lost horses in attempting to
travel the trails, but people go in
with sleds. Horse feed is good up
to the bridge. There is seven feet CT
snow at Florence, and much more
on the road to Warren. Interest
here among new corners is keen as
to the mines, and all are eager to
get in. 1t is too early to come
into this section to do much good
there will only be a period of
waiting. y

Col. Brackets glowing tribute
to the merits of hard tack, pub

DAILY PRESS, meets with the
hearty approval of we editor who,
in the course of his seafaring life,
may almost be said to have been
raised on it. During our recent
visit to Portland Mr.. Heppner in
troduced us to Harbor- Master
Jones and together we visited the
deep water ships and secured a
liberal supply of the genuine old
Liverpool ''pan-tiles' which we
brought home and distributed to
friends. The shore-going hard
tack is far different and superior
variety to the ''pan-tile" and, as
Col. Brackett says, it ought to
come into more general use in the
mountains being highly nutritious,
easily digested and the best all
around staff a man can have.
The Pass job department has
just received four fonts of large
