Great Fish Yarn.

Clear Lake has developed
species of fish, new to this sec
ton. Messrs, Troubee and Bon
ner recently caught a specimen,
which attempted to fly away with
pole and line, it was finally
brought to earth and confined by
Troubee under a box. On the
box being raised the next morn
ing the little creature, fiend or
devil, instantly flew away. The
best description we have been
able to obtain of it thus far is ''a
creature with the body Of a fish,
legs like a lizard or frog in front
and wings that are cross be-
tween the wings of a bat and a
fishes fins" OF course, we are
not able to vouch for the above
story, but as our informants are
gentlemen of veracity, not in-
clined to much imagination, we
have no occasion to doubt the
story.-Shoshone Journal.

Death Of Chief Joseph.

The death Of Chief Joseph of
the Nez Perez Indians is report
ed. Many of our readers have
seen him. In 1877 he was chief
of that tribe who broke out in
northern Idaho, killing men, wo-
men and children and destroying
no end Of property. He
gave the government much
trouble, but was defeated by Gen.
Howard at the Clearwater, and
then took the Lo Lo trail for
Montana. AT the Big Hole he
was attacked by Gen. Gibbon
and lost over 80 killed of his
tribe. He was a good fighter
and to his credit, be it said, says
the Free Press he never had a
hand IN the murder OF women
and children, in fact he saved
several when the other Indians
wanted to kill them. 1t was the
case of Pat Brice in White Bird
canyon and the saving of Mrs.
Cowan and Ida Carpenter who
were captured in the Yellowstone
park. After their surrender at
Bear Paw mountains near the
Canadian line in Montana they
were taken to the Indian terri-
tory, where the climate killed
more of them than did the bullets.
After several years they were ale
lowed to return and ever since
Joseph has been on the reserva-
ton around Colville, in the north

James Anderson Drowned.

Last Wednesday news reached
Salubria of the drowning Of
James Anderson Of Council in
Hornet creek on Monday of this
week. 1t is reported that on
that morning he started out SAL
mon fishing and failed to return.
Relatives and neighbors became
alarmed at his non arrival, and
the next morning searching
party was organized and he was
found dead on the banks Of Hor-
net creek.
The circumstances surrounding
the death of Mr.. Anderson are
enshrouded in mystery. Report
has it that when found, his hands
were securely tied behind him, in
which case it is evident that the
drowning was neither accidental
nor intentional on his part. 1t
would be almost impossible for a
man TO tie his own hands behind
him. As he is the owner of con-
siderable properly and has no
heir, it is limited there may have
been foul play. Another report
has it that Mr.. Anderson had re-

About Early Marriages.

One who is posted on matri-
monisd matters throws out the fol-
lowing timely advice to young
people:
"Nine-tenths of The unhappy
marriages are the result of green
human calves being allowed to
run at large in society's pasture
without any yoke on. They
marry and have children before
they have mustaches. They are
the father of twins before they
are the proprietor of two pairs of
trousers; and the little girls they
marry are old women before they
are twenty years old. Occasion
ally a gosling marriage turns out
all right, but it is a clear case of
luck. If there was a law against
young galoots sparkling before
they have all their teeth we sup
pose the little youngsters would
evade it some way; but there
ought to be sentiment against it.
Its time enough for bantams 10
find a pullet when they have
raised enough to build a hen
house. When they see girl
that looks cunning they are afraid
there is not going to be enough
to go around; they begin to spark
real spry, and before they are
aware of the sanctity of marriage
they are hitched up for life; and
before they own stove or bed
stead they have to get up in the
night and go for doctor"

Found His Level.

This first-class editorial of a
distinguished extinguished gen
tleman is from the New York
San:
"The Hon. James John GOrbett,
who has left the stage for the
purpose of conducting an irriga-
ton station, expresses himself
with his habitual certainty as to
the change. My business he
says, SIS better than acting or
fighting, and keeps my mind oc-
cupied.' That is the main thing,
and the public win be glad to
hear it. When Mr.. Fitzsimmons
debated with Mr.. Corbett the lat
ter's mind was not fully occupied.
He was conscious Of void. Now
the void is filed, and MIR. Cor
bett is willing to fill the void Of
any other gentleman who has the
price. Thus does genius newt
ably find its level and perform its
benefcent task. +"

Physical Financial Argument.

/
The enormous increase in the
production of gold within the last
few years, and the prospects that
the annual output of the mines Of
the world will increase for many
years, says the New York Herald,
has served to convince many who
formerly advocated the remone-
tization of silver by an interna-
tional agreement that such a step
is Unnecessary.
George E. Roberts, director of
the mint, whose official position
gives much significance to what
he says, said tonight that he was
formerly an advocate Of interna-
tional agreement, but that in view
of the great change in the situa-
ton, due to increased gold pro-
ton, he did not believe that such
an agreement was now possible,
because there was no longer me-
cessity for it, and it would be i'm
possible to interest people in it.
"The increase in gold produc-
tion," he said, sis almost incon-
ceivable. have made a calcula.
ton, based on the most reliable
data Obtainable, which shows by
the year 1900 the annual produc-
ton of gold alone In the world
will equal the production of gold
and silver alone in 1896. This
means that by the time of the
next presidential campaign gold
will supply the volume of money
that Mr.. Bryan and his followers
in the last campaign commended
was necessary. This leaves the
advocate of free coinage of silver
very little ground on which to
stand.
81 see by Mr.. Bryan's published
letter to Mr.. Belmont that he
quotes what Mr.. Mckinley said
in 1891 and what Mr.. Carlisle
said in 1871. Conditions were
entirely different in those years.
The great increase in the produc-
ton of gold throughout the world
had not then commenced. There
had been a tendency for the an
nual production to fall off, rather
than increase, and the situation
was such as to lead many careful
thinkers to advocate return to
the free coinage of both metals.
The situation is now entirely diff
ferent, and what was said then
can have no application to present
conditions" Lewiston Teller.

Patrie and philosophy.

"Now let me ask you, hay,
YOU thought how it would appeai
to the public if you should publish
a statement that you would no
continue to do good among a lot
of unfortunate men because one o.
your number considered himself
insulted by man holding posi-
ton of authority there2''
The speaker was Secretary o.
State Patrie; his auditor was
Rev. G. L. Surber. His utter
ance was overheard and it sug-
gested, not only that it was ex-
remely philosophical, but that it
must be a part of story that
would prove interesting. And
the story is an interesting one,
being, in brief, as follows:
Some weeks ago Rev. Mr..
Murphy went to the penitentiary.
On entering the Office he was met
by Warden Haley in a rather
cool manner. Mr.. Murphy sug-
gested that perhaps he did not
know who he was. To this Mr..
Haley responded that he did
know but he did not feel very
friendly toward him. Mr.. Muir
ply asked what was the matter
and the warden thereupon ex-
planned that he was chairman of
the Democratic State committee
and had charge of the campaign
last fail. He had also been a
member of the convention. AS
chairman and as one who had
also been a member of the con-
Vention, he felt deeply insulted by
the authors of the circulars issued
by certain ministers against Miss
French because of her religion,
and he could not treat any of
them cordially.
Rev. Murphy went away feel
ing insulted by "Uncle Johns"
statement.
Afterward Mr.. HALEY told
members of the board he could
not welcome any of these partic-
ular ministers to the penitentiary
to hold services, but if the board
saw fit to make an order to treat
all alike he would cheerfully com
ply The board thereupon made
an order to that effect, stating it
was at the warden's request.
But this did not close the Incl
dent, the next chapter. being dis
closed by Mr.. Surber on the oc-
casion of his visit to Mr.. Patrie,
he having been sent as a commit
tee of one of the Minister'S asso-
ISOLATION, to confer with the pris-
on board over the matter.
MIR. Surber explained the stu
alton and stated they wanted the
board to secure an apology from
MIR. HALEY. If this were not
done, they would feel obliged to
publish a statement to the public
setting forth that it had become
necessary for them to cease hold
ing services at the penitentiary
because the board maintained an
Official there who had insulted
one of their number.

course of which Mr.. Patrie made

The Seven Devils Mines.

The chief mines of the district
are copper; the ores are denom-
mated peacock ores from being
of a peacock blue color. They
also carry silver and gold in com
blnation with copper. In the Pea
cock mine an enormous body Of
ore has been uncovered by the
action of the water in a small
stream directed upon it. The
lowest estimate Of the ore I'M
covered is $4,000 tons, of which
10000 will yield 40 per cent Of
copper, and $4,000 IS per cent;
5r,ooo,ooo pounds Of copper and
valued at 10 cents per pound
would yield production of S.
100000. There is said to be
sufficient territory to locate 1000
good mines. Aladdin and his
wonderful lamp sinks into insig-
nifcence beside such figures as
these, There are at present
about 200 claims located.
The principal group of mines
is the Peacock, consisting of the
old Peacock mine, Confidence,
Bodie, Standard, South Peacock,
and Copper Key.
The Seven Devils range of
mountains is about 80 or
40 miles in length and IS to 20
miles in width. The fertile Wei
er and Salmon river valleys bor-
der the range on the east. There
are seven distinct peaks in the
range none of which seem to
have an altitude of over 5000
feet but this appears high as the
environing streams and valleys
are but 1000 to 1900 feet above
sea level. The growth of timber
does not reach to as great an alti-
tude as in Colorado, and the
peaks stand out clear and rugged,
while the lower slopes and foot
hills are most densely covered
with fir, pine and spruce trees.
On the west or Snake river side
the confines of the range are
sharp, generally terminating with
the great canyon, which is almost
as impressive as the Grand can
yon of Colorado, and more so
than the canyon of the Gunnison.
Lateral canyons and gulches
reach out into the mountains, and
debuch into the main canyon they
have formed frequent extensive
beds or bars of sand and gravel
that have yielded much placer
gold in the past. Some of the
washings are so inaccessible that
early miners were let down from
overhanging precipices and left
there for the summer to wash for
gold and then be drawn out again
at the close of the season by their
friends who meanwhile were 9TH
erwise engaged.
Monument mountain, on which
the copper deposits or veins are
situated, has an altitude of prob
ably 5000 feet and is about five
miles in length from north to
south and about three miles in
width. The territory over which
the copper manifests itself is equal
to six square miles and is about
four miles distant from the Snake
river.-Salubria Citizen.
