High-Priced Fish.

At certain season in the year-usu-
ally about the first of October-lt is the
custom of the commissioners who have
charge of the great parks in Chicago
TO permit fishing in the artificial lakes
at certain hours in the morning, the
fishermen in all cases being required to
use the boats that are kept for hire.
This is to prevent the banks from being
thrOnged with gangs of hoodlums.
Early one October morning the edit

This Industry, Not Century Old.
"rhe art of making, once FOL.

which were formerly of paper or wood.
Then the glover, laying his pattern on
the leather. would mark It In outline
with lead pencil and cut It out with
shears. The glove, which was sewn
by hand and the seams pounded, then
went through the process of pressing.
This was done by placing It between
two boards, on which the glOve-maker
sat while making another pair In the
manufacture of the modern glove the
operator, having cut the leather, folds
1t over so that the back is larger than
the front. Then he makes three cuts
through the doubled pieces, SO that it
may produce the back and front for
the four fingers. Next an ovoid hole
is cut for the insertion of the thumb
piece. Before completing the work on
the first and fourth fingers long strips,
or gussets, are sewn on the inner side:
but in the second and third fingers gus
sets are sewn on both sides. After
ward small diamond shaped pieces are
cut, fitted and sewn at the interdigital

**M THE OUYCKSANDS. X


he was not IAN original mountaineer,
came to the valley in which the Taylor
farm was situated and asked to board
there while he hunted and prospected
In the neighborlng mountains. He gave
his name as George Heron" and as
be offered SIS week for the accommo-
dation and showed a willingness to pay
in advance, Mrs. Taylor and Lena
agreed to take him in.
George Heron was a handsome and
rather melancholy young man-such
a one as must appeal powerfully to the
virgin heart and lofty Imagination of
the frontier girl.
He was away great deal-Often for
nights at time, and when he returned
he but seldom brought game, though
he always had strange wild flowers for
Lena and curious specimens of ores,
which he examined with his micro
scope and acids.
Love Is largely a matter of associa-
ton; it Is not, therefore, to be wonder
ed at that Lena grew to watch the
mountain trail for the coming of the

gladness left her expressive face
whenever she saw him disappearing Ia
the rocky heights above the valley.
OF late Mart Estel had taken to visit
ing the valley, but it CHANGED that he
never came there except when George
Heron was away.
ELI Taylor had ceased going to Can
yon City; indeed, he seemed to have
lost all interest in the farm, In his
family, and In himself.
Lena and her mother tried to cheer
him, and Tom worked harder than ever
to make up for his fathers losses, but
still Eli went about like man whose
heart was broken.
The reason for this melancholy was
at length made manifest One day
Mart EStel, accompanied by a stout,
ford man of 40 who looked much like
himself, came to the farm and held a
long consultation with Ell Taylor.

Proposed New Wagon Road.

County Surveyor Rhoades re-
turned here Sunday from Pine
Grove. He and party were out all
last week viewing a route for new
road from Anderson's station on the
Rocky Bar road, down Camas creek
and thence up the South Boise river
to Pine Grove, as per instructions
from the board of county commits
sioners. Captain Rhoades express
es himself as greatly surprised to
find the route traversed SO feasible
for a good easy-grade wagon road.
From Dixie divide" down to the
river, he says, is gradual descent
and the road can be readily graded
at but little cost to compare with
the usual mountain roads. After
reaching the river there is almost a
natural road leading up to Lape's
ranch, where bridge must be built
to cross the South Boise. From
thence up to Pine Grove, along the
river, is another natural way that
will cost but little to put in shape
for teaming, excepting one place at
Sloan's gulch, point that will re-
quire con siderable grading. The
distance from Anderson's to Pine
Grove is 164 miles, making the dis
lance from Mountain Home to PINE
Grove Al miles.
Surveyor Rhoades has not yet
made an estimate of the cost of the
new road and bridge, but he assures
us 1T will be much less than tn,
great majority of people anticipate
particularly those who have never
passed over the route.

Rich Strike at the Bar.

Roy Bogard has recently made
an important strike in his quartz
claim situated on Red Warrior hill.
near Rocky Bar, on the same lode
and lying between the John Shields
and the Champion mines. Joe Sui
laway, recently returned from Rocky
Bar, has in his possession a large
Specimen of free milling ore from
this new discovery which is liter
ally bespangled with shining gold,
and he informs US that the vein
is IA inches in with and all equally
as valuable as the specimen exhib-
tied by him. A number of assays
have been made of rock from this
ledge all of which returned not less
than $500 in gold per ton.
Mr.. Sullaway is of the opinion
that this is the most important
mining strike that has been made
in the Rocky Bar section for many
years, because the walls Of the ledge
are we'll defined and the ore uni
formly rich. He thinks that Roy
Bogard has surely unearthed a
bonanza.
