ldaho's Mineral Discoveries.

De Lamar Nugget.
The Lewiston, Grangeville and
Florence papers and those Of Spo-
kane, as well, are full ofinteresting
news these days, about the Buffalo
Hump and Salmon river discover
les. Some one comes out from
those localities every day or two
with some new stories Of the devel-
opements and their extent and rich
es, and people are getting in there
through the deep snow in steadily
increasing numbers. That they are
certainly great and important dis
cOveries does not admit Of a doubt.
Shrewd spectators never would
have put up $500 cash upon an
option to purchase the original
Buffalo Hump group Of properties
for the sum of 1915, 900, had they
not seen those prospects to have
been immense. 1t is claimed that
this is the largest sum ever paid
for a mining property with no
greater amount of development
than prospect hole only ten feet
in depth. But it was justified by
the extent to which the veins have
been traced and the width of the
mineral zone in which they are To-
Gated The discoveries, fifteen
miles distant upon both banks of
the Salmon river is claimed to be
on the same zone and the same
lodes. There the width of the
veins are greater and the difference
in the altitude is so great that, il
the veins are the same in both, they
reveal an enormous depth.
What rush there will be to
Idaho county as soon as the roads
are open! 1t will be like some OF
the old time placer excitements.
But it will differ because in add
ton to miners there will be grand
rush Of capitalists and spectators.
Greed and Cripple Creek booms will
scarcely be II circumstance to what
this idaho excitement promises to
be. Two great rival railroad com
panies are expanding their best
efforts to get near the mines, and
before another year the country
will be quite so readily accessible
as other mining districts of the
state. The mines are in rugged
mountainous country, but it is
splendidly timbered and wei
wateaed, and one of the grandes,
garden spots in the west is not fal
distant.

civilian Newton came to Lew

who had just arrived from Den
yer, where he had left his wife and
childi en-, who, he said, would join
him at Lewiston in a few weeks.
But short time after arriving in
the city he induced Cash Cole, a
saloon keeper, to cash several
checks which he had drawn on the
Bank of Camas Prairie, claiming
he had money on deposit there.
"It was discovered that the
checks were no good and Newton
was arrested as he was trying to
leave the city and was bound over
to await the action of the grand
jury. had him in my custody in
the county Jail for several weeks
when he escaped while the prison
ers were in the yard exercising. Cole
did not seem anxious to prosecute the
case and made no effort to recapture
Newton.
"After his escape from the Jail he went
to the vicinity of Cotton, where he went
to work in the harvest field. have
been informed that he went from Coltor
to Collar, where he also hoated some
checks, but escaped prosecution. New
