About our Placer Mines.

I Placer miners all over Idaho county
are iubilaiing this year-thev feel that
dame fortune is smiling on them, and
, that this is their year TO crow. The reas-
! on for their hilarity is found i'll the TACT
I that the snow is going OFF in Just the
right time to suit them, neither too fast
nor too slow, but Just right and II
! furnishes them with good strong pipe
I head, which insureS them longer sea
son, and consequently better results
than ever before.
Placer mining has always been the
principal source of supply of Idaho
county's large gold product, and, viii
in the past year or two much attention
has been given to quartz, there are as
yet very few productive qnar.z mines,
and consequently placer mining may be
credited with practically all Of the gold
production of this county.
These placers are scattered all over
the vast extent of territory embraced i'll
the boundaries of Idaho county, and the
output every year proves their value.
OF late years new properties of this char
acter have been equipped, notably the
big hydraulic propositions of American
hill and Buffalo hill, Deadwood, Ternan
hill, Crooked creek placers, Newsome
creek and Moose creek placers in the
Bitter Root country; while in Warren
and adjacent camps in the Salmon river
section some mammoth enterprises in
volving the expenditure of hundreds of
thousands of dollars in equipment, in
stallation and development are under
way and when finally made productive
will vastly augment the yield Of placer
gold.
But speaking of our mines generally,
it must be said that they in the main rep
resent individual enterprise, and with
the limited means at the command of
the owners il sometimes takes years to
get them in shape for production. There
are probably FIVE hundred men in Idaho
county who are working on placers in
the gulches and streams of Idaho county
through the all too brief water season,
and their combined product aggregates
$500, 900 annually.-Grangevi Press.

Court or Court Martial.

In the cour, this afternoon, Mr.. Hawiey
attorney for defendants in the case OF
Steuart VS.. Bartlett Sinclair, Hugh France
Angus Sutherland, Frank Rose and Mayor
Smith, gave notice of their intention to
move to quash the complaint.
Attorney Jones then presented the re-
port of Elisor Heney showing service OF
the summons and copy of the complaint
but also containing letter from Suther-
land declining to turn over the type taken
when the Mullan Mirror was suppress
ed, alleging that it was taken by order of
the governor under martial law.
This looked like conflict between the
state authorities and the district court,
but Attorney General Hays said if the
plaintiff would lei the matter rest until
after presentation of the motion to quash
he thought there would be no need of
further attention 10 the elisor's report.
Plaintiffs then waived the statutory
right to FIVE days notice on the motion
to quash and both matters will come up
at O'Clock tomorrow.
While talking about elisor's report,
Attorney Jones said this was both refusal
to obey the process of court and contempt
on the part of the courts own officer.
Then he startled the court by saying:
Anybody who is sheltered by the wing of
the executive can do any thing he chooses.
We want to know how far this court and
its officers will be respected. AS your
Honor said, in charging the grand jury,
we are informed through common rumor,
the press, that a magistrate of this county
has been arrested because of "a verdict
rendered which was unsatisfactory to the
powers that be. Will the attorneys in
this court be protected, or may the mill
tary authorities arrest the attorneys for
language used here?"-Spokesman-Re-

In America Mr.. Pinero's famous
comedy has become stock piece and
its representation have been countless
since Mr.. Daniel Frohman produced it
for an entire season at the Lyceum
Theatre, New York. Sweet Laven-
der has appealed beyond the English
speaking body of play-goers, TO tnosc
of the Teutonic and Italian tongues;
it has been frequently performed in
Germany in an adoption which elimin-
ates the sentimental interest to large
extent, and lays greater stress on the
comic, while the Italian stage knows it
in it's original shape The revival of
the play at Terry's Theatre has been
an unqualified success, and numberlesS
persons have been unable to procure
seats, the booking of which is being
done for three weeks in advance. The
10y 20, W ~ diC " dPpSoA IL eAic pay

indeed fortunate in procuring the
rights to produce the sweet and charm

Through the columns of the press of

who are being featured in the piece,
have apparently risen to the occasion
and made a hit quite as pronounced as
Mr.. Martins clever farce. The COM
pany supporting these bright coined

Of the best ever selected for this
style of performance, and a glance at
the list of principals at once reveals
many names well-known to all theatre
goers. The comedy is said to abound
in many Of the best specialties ever
seen in farce. and the songs, chorus
es and incidental dances also come in
for large need of praise. This COM

The new "O'Hooligan's Wedding" a
comedy, pure and simple, and built for
laughing purposes only, will be the at
traction at the Grand during the halr
week, commencing tonight, up to date
in every particular, and played by art
lists, recognized for their particular
line. Harry West, the dialect German
comedian, late of Weber & Fields Co.,
is acknowledged on a par with any in
that line of particular comedy, causing
no end of laughter in butchering the
English language. AS Herman Klotz,
the shoemaker, part written express
ly for his line of German character, he
is very amusing. In the opposite part,
that of Michael O Hooiigan, Mr. West
has been fortunate to have for a part
ner Billy Barry, Jr, son of the late
William Barry. Mr.. Barry has inner
tied all the Irish wit of his father, his
stage presence, to those who have ever
seen his father, is fac smile. Not
alone in his comedy work, Billy Barry,

1.-THE Geisha," that dainty, fantastic,
modern musical comedy, the scenes OF
pear in this city for the first time next
Monday night, April 18th, at the Opera
House. The play forms an agreeable
entertainment from beginning to end.
Its we'll written dialogue, humorous
and clever: the lyrics are of the best
and the music is as sparkling and mel
odious as one could desire. japanese
in construction, the story shows that
the singing and dancing girls at the
Tea House of Ten Thousand Joys,
entertain visitors over there just the
same as their sisters entertain visitors
over in other countries where stronger
beverages are supplied. Unlike many
of the extravagan or musical come
dies, there is pretty and coherent
story running through the play. which
is shown in two acts, the first being
the Tea House of Ten Thousand
Joys" the second a "Chrysanthemum
Fete in the Palace Gardens" The time
is the present and the action of the
play takes place in Japan, outside the
treaty limits. The humor of the dial
ogue and the diverting situations keep
the audience in continual laughter and
the bright and pleasing melodies evoke
the heartiest applause.
