The MOunce-Kline Suit.

The suit Of Eva X. Mounce against A.
Kline for the possession of the building
on the corner of Main and Third streets
was adjudicated yesterday in Justice
McConkey's court. This case has gone
the routine of all the county courts.
Mr.. Kline held the premises under an
old lease which called for a cheap rental.
The advance of values i'll this city more
than doubled the value of such lease.
This fact, with perhaps others caused a
desire OH the part of the owner to secure
possession, hence this complicated
litigation.
The jury in Justice McConkey's court
yesterday rendered verdict for Mounce
for the posse ssion of the premises and
for damages and rentals in advance of
the price paid by Kline of $50.
Later Kline's attorney appeared before
Justice McConkey and filed an appeal
bond and bond for rents and damages
and received stay of execution pending
the appeal. This condition leaves Kline
in possession of the premises until the
case is settled at the regular term OF
court next fall

The Seven Devils.

The Seven Devils district is not far be-
hind the Buffalo in surprises this spring.
The valley along the Snake has been
thronged with prospectors for whole
month. The snow has kept the gold
seekers in the limited bounds of the can
yon, but in this narrow field hundreds of
locations have been made and some woli-
derful developments are reported. One
prospect that was made since the snow
went off has developed value of$57 900.
Two railroads are headed for the Seven
Devils, one down the river and the other
up the Weiser and its tributaries to the
east side of the copper belt. Both OF
these roads are being pushed with vigor.
This evidence of general interest in the
camp has attracted prospectors from all
quarters. 1t may be reasonably expected
from the show now reported that camp
as great as Butte will be in full operation
within year. The impetus given to the
camp by this energy will make it advance
like doomed city.
Both of these roads, which are now De-
ing pushed as fast as money will build
them, are headed for Lewiston. Lewis
ton will be the trade center for this
whole region.

New Buffalo Trail.

Work is TO commence on the new cut
off to the Hump this week. Frank
Brown is raising fund for the purpose
OF prospecting this enterprise and is
meeting with tlattering encouragement
Mr.. Brown explains that however deep
or soft the snow may be in the vicinity
of the Hump, there will be long portion
OF the trail altogether clear of snow.
1t is Intended to take advantage of this
and push the trail to where the snow be
comes deep and impassable Here goods
and horse feed will be cached and stored
at point about fifteen miles from the
camp.
From this point the trail will be broken
through the deep snow until there is a
clear trail to the Hump for pack animals.
While the undertaking is not light one
there is SO much at stake that those in
terested i'll the camp are determined to
to Use every effort to get the scheme in
working order.
The trail starting from Mt Idaho will
follow the breaks of the Clearwater.
keeping this side of the river instead of
crossing it twice as the cid trail at pres
ent does. The principal work will have
to be done between the Cove and the
mouth of Johns creek 1t is estimated
that the cost of making the trail will not
exceed six or seven hundred dollars.
With this trail completed the trip to
the Hump will be shortened almost fif.
teen miles. When the snow goes off a
man can make the trip to the Hump from
Granseville in one interchangeable

In Idaho Mines.

The pump and two-mile pipe line at
the Tiptop mine were tried Yesterday
and both worked successfully. Water
was raised the full length of the pipe
which terminates now within about 100
feet Of the new mill.
The line of pipe is about two miles
Tonga and takes water from Rock creek
10 stpply the 2o-stamp mill. The water
has to be raised perpendicularly about goo
feet.
The success of the undertaking gives
good satisfaction, as some feared that the
pipe would not stand the pressure, al
though Superintendent Lusk had no
doubts on that score.
When the mill starts up, which will be
about the middle of next month, water
will be raised in this pipe and run into
two large wooden tanks, both holding
$4,000 gallons. The pump will be in
operation in the daytime for about twelve
hours, and there will be enough water in
the tanks at night to supply the mill
until the next morning. HALEY News

Colonel BOuck on Lewiston.

Lewiston promises to be second
Denver in years to come" says Col. F..
F. Bouck to Post-Intelligencer reporter.
Bouck is the principal promoter of a
number of large enterprises in Idaho,
and is now in Seattle to purchase ma
chinery for the Lewiston Ice and Cold
Storage company, of which he is presi-
dent.
"The mineral and agricultural resources
of the country around Lewiston will soon
make it the metropolis of Idaho" said
Mr. Bouck at the Hotel Butler. "The
city is growing at all incredible rate.
Buildings are going up everywhere, and
all those erected are occupied. Vacant
lots, wherever there are any, are covered
with tents, making it almost an impossi-
bility to estimate the population Of the
city. l think 10000 would not be far
from the truth.
1.-The townsite is the only one on the
river for miles, and Charles Francis
Adams, ex-president of the Union Pacific
and one of our greatest railroad mem
who, by the way, did as much to make
Salt Lake and Denver as any other man
has recognized the Importance of this
fact. He and syndicate Of Massa-
cliusetts capitalists have now taken hold
of Lewiston, and Mr.. Adams has said
that he proposes to make Concord, just
across the river from the old town, the
crowning effort of his life.
"The syndicate has purchased more
than 5000 acres of land about the new
town and is disposing of it at low prices
to settlers for the purpose OF encouraging
immigration. This colony is called Vine
land, and is 28oo feet below the level of
the table land through which the river
runs. The climate, even in winter, is
warn, and resembles that of Los Angeles.
though OH the upland the cold is severe
in the winter. The company is spending
81 100000 in improvements. Water for
irrigation has been brought from, dis
tance OF sixteen miles, and steel bridge
costing $4,000. and connecting Vine
land with Lewiston, will be completed
within six weeks.
1T is estimated that Lewiston will ship
100000 bushels of wheat this summer,
and besides being the center Of a large
agricultural country, Il is the natural out
fitting point for the buffalo Hump coun-
try and other mining districts. What the
mines will amount to it is yet too early
to say with certainty, but my own opin-
ion, based on twenty years experience in
the mines of Old Mexico and Colorado,
lis that they will prove rich. There is
some free milling quartz, but great deal
of the ore so far discovered is rebellious
smelling ore and not for poor man to
attempt to handle. Near Mount Idaho
the free milling ore greatly resembles
that of Cripple Creek
