HOTEL WITH A PAST.
Was Prominent in the Days of
the Salmon River Mines.


The old Hotel de France
has been sold for $1,000 and
will be rebuilt. The pur-
chaser is Dennis Holland, the
well known stockman CT Snake
river in this county. This
house is one of the noted land
marks in the west, owing part.
ly to its antiquity ard partly
to the exciting events that
form its history. The house
was built in 1862 by Paul
Bonhore, who came from
Grass Valley, Nevada county,
Cal, the previous year. The
lumber for the building was
cut and sawed on Craig's
mountain, and cost Sligo per
1000. In June, 1862, while
the hotel was yet unfinished,
Paul Bonhore, died, and his
widow, Melanie Bonhore, COM
pleted the building and con,
tinued the business. ~, In the
rush of goldseekers to the
placer mines, the Hotel de
France became a great place.
1t was the headquarters for
the officials from Boise City,
who came. to. carry off the
records and take the seat of
government away from Lew
iston. They succeeded and
Boise became the capital.
AS the miners came in with
their gold dust, they stopped
at the Hotel de France, and
gave into the keeping of the
Iandlady all the treasure they
possessed. One night, when
the hotel was filled with
miners, there was an alarm Of
fire. The hotel building it.
self was not on fire, but a row
OF cheap wooden shanties was
burning, and threatened to
sweep the town out of exis.
tence. The landlady had lots
of gold dust in her custody,
but had no safe. 1t looked as
if the hotel could not be saved.
The gold dust was in two
strong boxes, and amounted
to $4,000. The landlady
called four men to her assist
ance,9 and, with two drawn
revofvers, ordered them to-
carry out the boxes. They
did to a safe distance, she
stood on top of them, and,
with revolver in each hand, |
protected the treasure until
he danger was over.
The landlady afterwards
Charles lie Francois,
md managed the hotel her
self until the day of her death,
which occurred in April, 1897.
The hotel will now be remod.
lied by the new owner, who
Intends to invest SI2,oo in
