MARTLAND'S NEW GOVERNOR,
Plans For Inauguration Proposed Fea-
lures OF The Ceremonies.

Chairman Murray Vandiyer. of the
Democratic State Central Committee, at
the request OF 0ov.-elect John Walter
Smith. is working out proposed features
OF the ceremonies attending the inaugu-
ration OF Colonel Smith on January 10th
next.
All arrangements for the Inauguration
OF Governor are usually made by Joint
committee OF the two houses of the Leg
islature, and this will be the case next
month. The wishes OF the Governor
elect are followed by the committee.
Such plans as Mr.. Vandiver may suggest
viii be submitted to the committee to be
appointed and viii probably be endorsed
by IT.
The Fifth Regiment Veteran Corps,
through Col. Charles ID. Gather, its
commander, has rendered its services as
an escort to the Governor-elect on the
day OF the Inauguration. and the offer
will be accepted. There will be no other
military features. Ii there should be a
parade at Annapolis, il will be composed
of political clubs and other non-military
bodies. but il mot probable that parade
OF any sort will be authorized by the
committee in charge.
II the day should be tair. the inaugu.
raj ceremonies will take place on the
front portico of the capitol. instead of in
the Senate chamber. as has been the
usual custom. The Senate chamber can
accommodate only limited number OF
spectators, while nearly all who wish to
attend can gather in the yard in front of
the capitol. Colonel Smith is now busy
with his congressional duties at Wash
ngton, and cannot give much attention
TO details of the plans for his inaugura-
ton as Governor. but il is probable that
the suggestions that he and his friends
may have TO make to the Legislative
committee will be fully formulated early
next week.

oystermen Pleased.

This has been most profitable season
to tongers. The good weather has made
it possible for tongers to work every day
since the season opened. Oysters have
brought higher prices and there has been
a larger number of shipments this year
than for many years previous. There
have been larger number of tongers'
licenses issued this season than for many
seasons heretofore, and the outlook is
very encouraging to those engaged in
oyster and shipping business. Up to
date !. .76o tongers licenses have been
issued, 4o4 of which were taken out BY
tongers Of the Eighth district, the largest
number taken out by any district in the
county. There were 28o from the Sixth
district, which includes Annapolis.

Newsome, Nov. o3.
District Court Proceedins.

| AT Saturdays opening of the
district court, Judge Steele renderr
ed some decisions in civil matters
which he had taken under advise
ment, but refused to render YER
diet in the matter of Hartman VS..
Hartman, in view Of the fact that
he had a case which was SO simila-
that he decided TO have the attor-
neys submit their different author
tiles for his consideration, and
then he would render both decis-
ions together.
Frank ID. Allen was admitted to
membership Of the Idaho bar, and
Judge Steele suggested that at an
early date the members make or
cause TO be made, bar roll and
J sign it on being enrolled. The
Court then granted a decree of di-
vorce in the matter Of Mary Hav-
ward VS.. William Hayward, in
which desertion and non-support
were given as cause; plaintiff testi-
fled that she was married to de-
fendant Jan. -. 1898. and had
ever since supported herself by
her own exertions; one child was
the issue of their marriage. Her
story was most pitiful. She was
corroborated by w. M. Clark,
merchant of Harpster.
The trial of the State of Idaho
VS.. James Long was commenced
and another effort was made to get
a jury. OF the new venire of 80
jurymen subpGnaed, it was only
after 10 had been examined that
the final trial jury was completed.
They are as follows: j. III. Chase,
A. Won Bargen, G. L. Palmer,
Frank Rad, Henry Ungren, Jeffer-
son Wood, Chas. Flint, George
Briscoe, Isaac Bingham, E. S.
Spooner, j. Gill and Isaac Max
well. Earl Mclean was then
sworn in as bailiff and the jury
placed in his charge. The Court
then gave them strict injunctions
as to their behavior, and after con-
ferring with the attorneys, decid-
ed that the jury should sleep in
the court house during the pro-
gress Of the trial, and arrange
ments for their comfort were per-
fected. The hour being now 4:3O
p. M, Court adjourned until Mon
day, at 8 a. m.
Peter Preaux, discoverer of the
Independence mine on Newsome
creek, returned from his visit to
his old home at Bimonski, Prov
ince of Quebec, on Friday last.
He went back intending to spend
the winter, but the country was al
together too slow and much too
cold for him after his long resi-
dence in this section, SO he cut his
visit short and will stay with us
hereafter. Truly, there is no
country like Gods own country,
by which we mean, of course, old
Idaho county.
The state land board has ORDER
ed a sale of 10000 acres of school

Regular Correspondence
The recent rich strike in the
Newsome Belle claim, mention of
which has hitherto been made in
these columns, continues to hold
it's own. The hole sunk on the
lead, at a depth of ~ feet, is pracy
tically all in ore. Assay returns
from Spokane, just received here,
run on an average sample S57 %
and on selected sample $1O1. Is.
Work is being vigorously pushed
on the Belle and on the six ada
cent claims. The appearance here
of Fred Karsten, who desires an
interest in the property, is daily
expected.
John M. Shissler has returned
from an extended visit to outside
points, whittier he went in con-
nection with the disposed of prop
critics in which he is largely inter-
ested. Mr.. Shissler says New
some creek mining district is at
tracing much attention on the
outside, and as a result of the phe-
nomenal success attending the gold
dredging operations of the Red
river gold dredging plant, atten-
ton is being accorded the rich au-
riferous gravel deposits so abund-
ant along Pilot, Baldy and Little
Baldy creeks, tributaries of New
some creek, and to those of the
main creek itself. Messrs. Leggat
brothers and other capitalists Of
Butte, Montana, are negotiating
for nearly 600 acres of ground on
the tributaries named, and also for
nearly 400 acres along main New
some creek. Parties posted in re-
gard to this particular species of
mining say advantages inferior to
none in central Idaho, are here af-
forded for its successful exploita-
ton. 1t is fact fully demonstrate
ed that the many uncovered gold
bearing quartz ledges in this dis
trict have fed these auriferous de-
posits of gravel and no stronger de-
monstrative evidence could be de-
sired than the fact that placers
worked out here 30 years ago are
now giving ''pipers" working them
remunerative returns, in a sense
corroborating the theory of "Ah
Sid" of Brete Harte fame, that
"placer gold grows"
ii. Arnold seems to have known
what he was about when he located
the Independent claim, near the
Iron Crown mine. He has practi-
cally demonstrated that the rich |
lead of the Gold Crown company's
property as shown up in the Dalles,
Gold Point and Gold Edge claims,
cuts the Independent. Arnold's
work has uncovered three feet of
quartz which pans handsomely.
1t is believed a big fight for title to
the Independent will be an event
Of the near future, as the syndi-
cate OF English investors interested
here have secured the services of
Ex-Congressman w. G. Jones of
Spokane, to look out for them.
Peter Preaux, original owner of
the Independent, has just returned
from Montreal, Canada.

A Strong Company Being Incorporated
to Work the Dewey Group.

The Dewey group, consist

to a syndicate headed by S /.

is now organizing a company,
with the intention of develop.
ing the entire group on the

TO a Press reporter Mr..
Silverman said: "Really |
have nothing to say, except
that was SO thoroughly con
vinced that the Dewey group
was the biggest thing in the
country that | have devoted
my entire time of late to get
ting the matter in shape to
handle it.
"These properties are located
on the south fork of the Clear
water river, about 1000 feet
above sea level, five miles
easterly from Grangeville, and
is accessible at all seasons of
the year. When these show.
ings were first discovered they
created a great excitement
and there was stampede i'm
tnediately for the scene of the
discovery. Primarily the ore
is very rich on the surface,
improving with depth, and
they have pay ore from the
grass roots; the lodges are
well defined and large and
have the wonderful advantage
of continuity. At a slight
depth, phenomenally rich ore
has been discovered and, as
you told in one of your re-
ports in the Press, the vein
has widened out to a wonder
full degree. The character of
the surface showings is quartz,
carrying considerable oxide of
iron, showing free gold. Re.
cent developments consist of
an adit level run on the vein
for distance of 100 feet, this
being water level; at a depth
of 100 feet vertically, a cross
cut was run, cutting the vein
at that depth and showing 23
feet of ore, very similar in
character to the Trail creek

poisoning case. District Attorney Gardner
said today that he was OF the opinion that

he had the necessary evidence for this.
For the past few days Colonel Gardner

into the deaths OF Mrs. Adams and Harry
Barnet, who died in November under s,,s-

that the deaths of the two were intimately
