In Adjoining Camps.

l. N. Smith, the well-known miner of
Florence, who has extensive locations in
the new Eabbit creek district has inter-
| ested Captain Delamar in his properties,
and with the latter's expert has gone to
| meke all examination of the lodges, says
Oregonian. This is the property OH
| woich X. NJ. Sherman was refused bond
for $3.50, 900. The district is about nine
miles south of Buffalo Hump, near NAL
lick district, which is two miles fur
ther up Salmon river. The claims,
the South Star and Lone Star, have a
mammoth ledge 90 feet wide. Through
| the first nine feet its tunnel ran through
honeycombed quartz that gave an aver
age assay of $2S. Further on and for a
distance of ~ feet through the ledge a
soft, decomposed black sulphurous ore
was encountered.
A great deal of interest is being excited
over quartz discoveries on the south fork
four miles from Mount Idaho. John
Seay reports that he has ledge 100 feet
wide which gives assays on the surface of
from $4 to IS. This is low grade ore,
but it is merely from the surface wastage.
This quartz is not new discovery, but
until the recent uncovering of such enor-
nous lodes in the same belt it has not at
tracted any very great interest.
Despite the mantle of snow that covers
the Buffalo Hump to depth varying
from 10 to IS feet, prospectors are busily
at work delving below the upper crust
in the hope of lighting on ledge when
they reach the soil.
Considerable excitement was caused
few days ago on account of rich strike
made by Ed Hanger and Henry Won
Berge on the Tallahassee quartz claim,
situated one and one-half miles north of
the Big Buffalo group. Hanger and Won
Berge were doing work on the Tallahas-
see and while running on the ledge they
encountered large body of ore of high
grade, assays of which have not yet
been made. Crosscutting developed a
ledge of heavily mineralized quartz, I6
feet between walls. The character of
the ore being indentical with Big Buff
falo ore, and the claim being in straight
line one and one-half miles north, the
lucky prospectors think they have the
extension of the big lead. Henry Won
Berge discovered this claim last October.
Groupings on the surface, from to 2S
feet wide, assayed by Assayer Wolff, in
Florence, went from $4.8s to $I2.35 per
ton in gold, fine returns for surface show
ings.

Baker City oregon dispatch says:
During the presence of Messrs. Glass
Brothers in this city, one of them stated
that it would be demonstrated, to the
satisfaction ofall those who were interest
ed in the Seven Devils, that the lodges
in the camp were permanent and that
the old bugaboo cry of "blowout" would
be effectually disproven during this
season. 1t is claimed by those who
profess to know that there Is a con-
tinuous lead between the Peacock mine
and the Vaughn claim on the Oregon
side of the Snake. The Vaughn prop
erty has also been acquired by the Glass
Brothers and is situated 5000 feet lower
than the Peacock, the ore being much
more heavily concentrated than that Of
the latter mine. Recent development
| work on the Peacock mine shows that
the vein runs through the Peacock
fraction and the Bodie ground, and, in
view of the late 100000 purchase of
Seven Devil mines by the Merritts, the
Peacock fraction and the Bodie will un-
doubtedly be thoroughly explored as
| soon as the weather is favorable.
While outside sections of the country
are reporting the loss of all tender fruits
il is refreshing to hear the story Of B.
F. Smith who has the Truax orchard
leased. He says his loss of even peaches
will not exceed ten per cent, and that he
will market mostly from young orchard
of 1890 young trees, 5000 boxes OF
peaches. The advantages of this valley
climate is illustrated by this seeming i'm
possible condition. Even the trees were
killed in many districts and the tender
fruits in all districts within 400 hundred
miles Of this valley in every direction,
Mr.. B. r. Smith is reliable fruit grower
and when he says he will have crop OF
peaches he knows what he is talking
about and he tells the truth.
An entertainment will be given Satur-
day evening at the Grostein opera house
for the benefit Of the Good Samaritan So
ciety. The exercises of the evening will
be in the hands of the normal students,
aud an excellent program is promised.
The Good Samaritan society has done
good work in the past among the deserv-
ing poor of our city. and its funds have
been carefully aud wisely expended. But
there Is still much to be done. The OBJ
ject is worthy one, and the 900 members
of the society should give the matter
their special attention and Use their influ-
ence to secure large audience.

Health of Lewiston Valley.

In recent conversation with DR.. Shat
he said that the statements made in hi.
address before the Idaho State Medical
society, in 1898, still hold good. We
quote:
| "In I6 years residence have seen but
one case of pythisis that could not trace
to importation. This case came under
my observation soon after my arrival in
Lewiston and continued under my care
most of the time until death, which oc.
Cured nine years later This man gave
me history of malaria which induced
him to leave Oregon for Idaho. He had
lost his wife from consumption two years
earlier Il mention this fact as possible
cause of infection.) l found absence OF
respiratory murmur at apex of right lung
on first examination. The sufferer, with
careful habits of living, together will,
medical treatment which contained moth
ing new or novel, fought death success
fully for nine years, when life gave way
to all the ordinary phenomia attending
the later stages of pulmonary disease.
CDR. Kelly, who has lived in this place
for 81 years, tells me he can recall but
three cases not imported. DIR. Morris,
who has lived here r6 years, cannot re
call case in his experience.
Bronchial asthma is practically un-
known in this locality. Pneumonia is
about one-half of Que per cent"
DR.. Shaft thinks that the reasons of our
comparative immunity from disease are
largely climatic.
+ "The points of difference between this
climate and that where pulmonary dis.
eases most largely prevail are: The small
amount of rainfall, the small number oi
cloudy days, low altitude, the strong all
currents carrying but little moisture dur
ing the warmer months, and infrequence
of sudden changes in the winter with
its dry air which seldom moistens except
when chinook winds prevail"
| When J. N. Davis, the right of way
agent of the Snake River Valley road
came to Lewiston on business for his
company he sought out an experienced
and disinterested citizen and asked for an
estimate of the value of an acre of orch.
ard land in this valley. When the gen.
tleman figured out value Of $500 an acre
Mr.. Davis telegraphed to the president Of
his company that something was very
wrong this way.
John Magness was brought down from
Nez Perce yesterday charged with insan-
| ity. He was committed to the asylum
to-day. Burt Warren, constable, aided by
| S. j. Daggett, brought the prisoner down.
He possesses delusion that President
Mckinley is going to sell the United
States to English capitalists, and he be-
lieyes he is on the way to Washington to
stop the deal.

Lindsay as Othello.

Next Tuesday evening, John S. Lind
say the tragedian, will appear at the
opera house in Shakespeare's great play
Othello. This will be Mr.. Lindsay's
last performance in Lewiston, on hi:
present tour, and lovers of this class ol
drama should not miss this opportunity
to see this actor in favorite role.
1t is seldom that Shakespearian com
pany, of real merit, visits town the
size of Lewiston. In fact, only OH one
occasion before, was any of that great
writer's plays ever presented in this city.
Our people, however, seem to thoroughly
appreciate the grandeur of the
Shakespearian drama, and have always
given good houses. Another opportunity
is now offered, and we have no doubt
that it will be eagerly seized.
After having seen Mr.. Lindsay in such
characters as "Richelieu' and "Shylock, y
no one can doubt his ability to give a
grand portrayal Of the noble "Othello. -
For years Mr.. Lindsay played leading
support to such actors as Mccullough,
Barrett, Davenport and others. This is
no doubt, the strongest company ever
organized in the west. Notice the high
compliment paid Mr.. Lindsay in the
character of "Othello," by the Ogden
Standard 1t says: "John S. Lindsay,
threw into the character of the noble
Moor" so much Of energy, action and
polished effort that his work was warmly
applauded again and again. The
versatility of the man and his ability as
an actor was never more strongly shown
than last night, and those who were
present were surprised and delighted at
his masterly portrayal of "Othello.''
Lewiston valley is conditioned favora.
bly, for the gardiner. orchardist and small
farmer. No place in the world can Sc
wide range of products be produced in
perfect quality and for small outlay q
labor. For tho special products of the
small farm there is an unlimited demand
In this market. For instance, potatoes
can be grown for ten cents sack, and
the market price to-day is $I.75 sack.
In fact, the whole line Of products is in
proportion. Cabbage is selling at four
cents pound; butter has sold all winter
at from 80 to 35c per pound; eggs have
been worth 80 cents dozen, and chick
ems are worth five dollars dozen. On
the other hand, that which such farmer
would require to purchase is generally
cheap. Flour sells at three dollars a
barrel, while meat can be purchased from
the block at from cents up.

A laborer who seems to be addicted to
the uae of morphine by means of the
syringe, was found last night almost
dead by the officers. The case was re-
ported to DR.. Brown who revived him.
The man would give no explanation OF
his condition and even denied that he
used the delusive drug OF this. how
ever, there was enough occular evidence.
The overdose was perhaps an accident.
The victim is apparently robust, and his
condition last night and his 7eticenee or
attempts to deceive the officers surround
the case with mystery.

CHICAGO'S CLAIM.
Police Census Indicates a Population
of Over 1000, 900.

of Over 100000
CHICAGO, June 16.-"The popula-
ton of the city of Chicago has passed
the 1000, 900 mark. and. according to
the latest police census, numbers
2,OS3 ,O43.''
These were the words of Sergeant A.
T. de Long, who is in charge of the
Bureau of Records, and shows n gen.
eral increase in Chicago's population of
100000 over the official census sub
mitted by Chief OF Police Ripley in
December, 1898.
I'VE have not made n house-to-house
canvass" explained Sergeant de Long.
I'VE simply give the approximate num-
Der compiled by the police sergeants
of various precincts"
The number is utilized by the Police
Department in making disposition of
it's patrolmen. In the more densely
populated districts the estimate is
formed by strict record of new arriv-
ais and departures, the tearing away
of old buildings and the erection OF
more capaciouS quarters and their
probable increase or decrease of inhab-
itants, as the case may be.
Statisticians regard these police re-
turns as reliable. Practically all of
Chicago's 5000 policemen gathered
them and each man knows his own
beat and the people-on 1t.
