again and discovered that the top of
the sack had been burned completely
OF down to the meal. Had the sack
been in contact with any infamable
substance there would certainly have
been conflagration. 1t was a clear
case of spontaneous combustion.

Room for Many Claims.

Old miners and scientific experts
agree that there is room for from
20, 600 to 100, 600 claims of promise
to be yet located in the vast district,
says Col. Bracket. The chances
Of fortune are but just begun.
"Faites vos jeus, messieurs. /"
Scores Of fanatic men have lately
rushed into the Hump and have
made "snow locations" as they
call them. These men lose their
time in this business, and many may
lose their lives. No valid location
of a quartz claim can be made un-
der our laws until there is q "dis-
covery" on the ledge or vein Of
"mineral' in place. The "snow
locators" will find, too, they are
often on top Of claims already loca-
ted last fall. There is where they
run the chance of having their
heirs collect their life insurances, if
they have any. Some people ought
to have their lives insured. They
are otherwise unjust to their fami-
lies.
There will probably be 10000
men in this region as soon as snow
begins to 60, about June 15 next.
1t is an opportunity that has
been seldom paralleled in any min
ing history, and will give An inn
petus and growth to this part oi
Idaho that has been looked forward
to by many well-informed mining
men for thirty years. Where Il
would strike and just how, they
did not know, but they knew il
would come in due time somewhere

SITE FOR CITY HALL.
Property Owners Should Submit Prop
osiuons to tho Village Trustees.

Wednesdays 8 daily.
The board of village trustees
meet again on Saturday evening
next at which time the proposition
to purchase site for the erection
Of new city hall, with Jail and
room for storing the fire apparatu tus
when not in use will be discussed.
This is an enterprise which has
been apparent for some time. The
village property consists at present
Of the 12xl4 Jail building situated
ON the northeast corner Of Hall
and North Main streets on ground
rented from A. f. Parker.
The trustees themselves have no
regular place in which to hold their
meetings and, officially speaking,
they are like the coyote, with no
place to lay his head. A head
quarters for the transaction of the
village business is necessity.
Property owners can materially as
sist the board by submitting propo-
sitions for the purchase of a desira-
BILE location for the erection Of a
suitable building. A lot 25x5O is
considered ample room for the
present, and owners of desirable
locations should specify these de-
tails in their propositions.
Mr.. Parker has put in an offer to
sell 25x50 feet on the corner now
occupied by the Jail and we advise
others to do likewise and give the
board choice of locations and
prices to select from.

OUR GIRL GRADUATES.
In Immense Audience Listens to Ora
tons, Music and Recitations.

Wednesdays daily.
An immense audience thronged
the I. o. o. F, hall last night on
the occasion of Grangeville's first
graduating exercises. Not only
was every available seat filed, but
the aisles and sides were crowded
with standing throng.
The curtain rose upon as many
Of the school children as could be
arranged on the stage, who sang
"America" and then filed off the
stage, marching and counter-march-
ing to the music of Miss Leila
Sheaffer on the piano. This was
one of the prettiest and most ef-
fective features of the evening.
The next event was foreshadowed
by the rising Of the curtain upon
the two girl graduates in their
becoming graduating gowns of
white, seated on either side of Pro-
fessor Glanville. 1t appears that
the order Of the program was re-
versed. Miss Bernice Day first de-
livered her grafton on the "Mis-
sion Of America. This was very
creditsble effort and delivered in
excellent style. 1t dealt with the
white mans burden and the re-
sponsibilities attached thereto.
Then followed Miss Annie Maxey's
eesay ON "Old Glory" Full JUS
tice was done to this patriotic sub
ject, and the reading Of the essay
left nothing to be desired. Both
efforts on the part Of the graduates
were received with great enthusi-
asm, and two little girls, at the
close Of each essay, brought on to
the stage bouquets of flowers which
were delivered to Miss Day and
Miss Maxey respectively.
The two essays were divided by
Q piano solo by Miss Sheaffer,
which was we'll received. All TAX
ing part in the program covered
themselves with glory to such an
extent that it would be invidious
to particularize further, the other
features following iI the order given

greater success than ordinarily has
been achieved by prospectors; but
the fame that these two sections
have had heralded abroad is having
a stimulating effect on prospecting

GREATEST STRIKE YET.
Orc Running 500 Pound N sguth
) Side Of the Hamr. 4s,s.

According to Lou McAtee, the
greatest discovery yet made in the
Hump district has been unearthed
just below the snow line on the
south side Of the Hump. This
strike was made three weeks ago.
but the news has only reached
town.
The fortunate miners are the
Warner brothers, Art Hitler and
Charles Sanderson. 1t happened
that Messrs. Lou ,McAtee and
Lou Smith were in the vicinity
when the location was made.
Lou Smith gives the following
description of the claim which is
showing up the phenomenal value
Of almost S40O to the ton. 1t is
situated on Crooked creek, six
miles from Salmon river and seven
miles from the Hump. AT the time
Messrs. McAtee and Smith were
in the region the claim was just be-
low the snow line.
said Mr.. Smith this morning..
"They have FIVE feet OF solid
quartz and three feet Of tale and
granulated quartz, making about
eight feet of ledge matter. The
vein is a contact between quartzite
and granite. There is q laYgA qusn-
tity Of birds-eye porphYrY dpaEl lite
cropping out close to the ISdES khd
running along the whole length,
"The value Of the strike can be
told at a glance by the looks Of the
groupings, which are oxydized and
bear no white quartz whatever.
However, here is q certificate Of an
assay made at the Hump"
The certificate shows values Of
$3S1, mainly In gold, with small
percentages OF silver and copper.
Doc Toler is also repo8tp ~
have made a good strike {Ioln D.
above the discovery OF ASyN9 Ski1l
boys. This was made at "a time
when the snow still lay ct that
point, but it has probably receded
by this time, Lon Smith gew some
Of the quartz from Toler's claim
and says it has lots Of white iron in
tit, and, thxt the finder Is believed
to have an i,nnhsnse ledge, at least
