As predicted in the last issue of Min
ing Reporter the Federation of Labor,
in its convention now in session in this
city, has resolved against everyone who
has had anything to do with the pun
ishment Of the men who dynamited the
Bunker Hill mine, but has not said one
word of blame for those who committed
the crime. President Gompers, in a
public speech, denied that any member
of organized labor had anything to do
with the perpetration Of this outrage.
We would be glad to believe this as
sertion. We believe that organization
is a necessity to the welfare of the wage
Garner and we believe further that the
organization of labor will be crushed
out by the strong arm of the law if that
organization permits itself to become
party to criminal acts. The general
belief is that the destruction of the
Bunker Hill mine was planned and ac-
complished by the leaders of the miners
union. Mining Reporter greatly regrets
that the Colorado delegates have not
put themselves on record as not being
in sympathy with that dastardly and
criminal act.-Denver Mining Reporter.

The time Of the year has at last ar
rived when we can begin our annual
brag about the Owyhee mountains as a
summer resort. We usually begin a
little earlier than this, but circum-
stances and snow-storms over which we
had no control, have deferred it to this
time. Now, with the doors open and a
gentle breeze waiting through our
whiskers, our former complaints about
the weather have been laid away for the
summer, although our winter hannels
have not been dofed, and we are ready
to tell the cyclone stricken people OF
Missouri, Iowa and Wisconsin and the
heat oppressed people Of the Atlantic
states that our soft Italian skies, with
a bright sunshine tempering the effect
of high altitude, make our weather
entirely perfect. Weather like it is
sometimes briefly known elsewhere,
but never for such delightfully."- long
periods as we enjoy it among the blue
bells and sweet forget me-nots of Owy-
hee. Let's go fishingl--And. by the
way, "Pigeon'' Parke and viii Stoddard
did go fishing yesterday, but they car
ried too many Of their rock worms-a
favorite bait this time of the year-in
bottles.

Preparing for s.nmer's Outing.

A daytime burglary was committed
last Sunday by parties who forced open
the fly of a sheep herder's tent, over in
the gulch beyond Soda spring, and
teloniously abstracted theref-om the
entire outfit of bedding, blankets, cook
ing utensils and grub, sufficient to
supply three men for one month. 1t
was not a very daring burglary, but
effective, and will prove sufficient to
send the perpetrators over the road for
long term if they are caught, for the
Idaho Wool Growers Association is
laying for this class of robbers and
offer sl00 reward for the arrest and
conviction Of every person robbing a
herder's camp.
On Monday, presumably the same
gang, stole a set OF double harness out
of George Nichols cabin, about two
miles from where the sheep camp is
located.
Evidently somebody in this vicinity
is getting ready for a summers outing,
and viii be picking up pair of horses
and hitch onto somebody's wagon
before long.

Six big hobos came very nearly doing
up the entire town of Pocatello one day
last week. From all accounts they
we're lot of holy terrors. They beat
up the town marshal and took his gun
away from him; knocked the everlast-
ing filling out Of man who came to
his rescue; stole the mayors horse and
buggy; chased the town constable into
hiding and skipped, only one of them
being caught. Pocatello people will
try and make the town uncomfortable
for hobos from this on.

When we first met the renowned Col.
Pat Donan he was writing boom letters
from Little Rock, Ark, seventeen years
ago, and it is wonderful the squirt of
growth and prosperity that city eX-
perienced during the ensuing two or
three years. The next we knew of him
he was writing sketches of the beauti-
full society women of st. Louis, Chicago
and New York. The colonel has an eye
for beautiful women and can make
wonderful word pictures of their every
grace. Next he bloomed out among the
summer flowers and gentle zephyrs at
Spirit Lake, N. Dakota, lodging the
billiards. of the Dakota winters by
going south to feast his eyes upon the
beautys of southern damsels. But
Spirit Lake became famous and Dakota
wheat fields spread over broader areas
because of the versatile colonel's pen
and the attractive sketches he drew of
the wonderful northwest. For a year
or more past the colonel has been
"doing" the Pacific northwest, appar-
rently in the interest of the o. r. & N.
Co., and saying bright things about the
territory covered by that company's
lines. The last sketch we have seen
from his pen had for its subject "The
Seven Devils" and the Devils as de-
scribed by him appear almost as attrac-
tive as did Mrs. Fred Paramore, a one
time beauty and spoiled bunch of
vanity, of st. Louis, as drawn by
Col. Pat. You have noticed the re-
markeble prosperity of Northern Ore
gon and Central Idaho during the past
year? Well, just credit whole lot of
it to Col. Pat Donan.

The people in the Buffalo Hump dis,
trict have already had a very handsome
plat made Of the located mining claims
on the Hump, the small lakes aud
the streams all plated in, and margi-
nal map printed on one corner Of it
taking in sixty or more miles square of
the surrounding country, showing the
streams, roads, location Of other camps
etc. 1t has not been printed yet, the
copy oft shown to US being only blue
print. 1t is very creditable piece Of
work, but we presume, under the con-
ditions existing when the plat was made,
it lacks the accuracy a revised edition
ought to have. 1t shows the enterprise
of some capable engineer, however, and
we would like to see it revised and
published as soon as practicable.

Boise is inviting the outside world

Boise is inviting the outside world to
come and help the Boise patriots to
celebrate the Glorious Fourth. The
people at the capital propose to whoop
things up in great shape over there
this year, and there is never a better
time to see Boise in all its glory than
in the early summer. A new set of
men are in the push there this year and
things are different now from what
they once were.

The Grangeviile and Lewiston papers
don't let up little bit in reporting new
discoveries in Idaho county and the

certainly realizing even a bigger boom
than was prophecied for it during tho
snow-bound season.

"Grandpa" Fannin, who has probably
had more experience at postoffice
desk than any other person in Idaho,
having been postmaster in third-class
Office in Illinois for eighteen consecu-
tive years, came down from Silver City
where he now resides with his daughter,
Mrs. Dr. Heer, to install our new p. NJ.
and teach him the correct rules. Mr..
Fannin has acquired habit of ''thin
ing out loud" while filing out money
order or comparing numbers, dates and
amounts, and during the long time he
was assistant here during Mr.. Knapp's
and Mrs. Crosson's respective occu-
pancies of the office, he was never
known to make even the most trifing
mistake. 1t is told of him that one
time he had a weekly report returned
to him from the P. o. Department. He
opened the envelop, glanced at the ac-
letter, looked at the report
uttered one Of his own little swear
words, chucked the report into another
envelop and fired it back at the Depart
ment without altering letter or figure
and never heard of it afterward. If
our new p. NJ. and his assistant strictly
follow Gradpa's instru ctions, they will
always be right.

Two Men Held Up in DeLamar.

Saturday was DeLamar payday and
there were a new lot of toughs in town
Fred Bartlett and Headly Bullock, two
young miners, who came off shift at
eleven o'clock at night, started down
town about midnight and just after
passing the butcher shop, going around
the point and walking in the middle of
the road, two toughs stepped off the
sidewalk and confronted them with a
couple Of guns, with a peremptory
order to them to throw up their hands.
Of course, the boys obeyed, for what
else could they do?
The robbers then quietly proceeded
to 'go through them" in regulation
style, relieving them of their watches
and chains and what money they had
in their pockets.
They got new watch from one of
them, for which the owner had only
recently paid forty dollars, and from
the same man, nine dollars in money
From the other they got a twenty-five
dollar watch and two or three dollars
in change. They then ordered their
victims to about face and march up
town again, au order which was
promptly obeyed.
The boys could not give very good
descriptions of the hold-ups, but state
that one of them was a tall man and
the other middle-sized.
Only few minutes later some one
tried to force the door into Dick Hawes'
store, but hearing some one within,
took his departure, Billy Hawes send
ing bullet after him. Billy, however,
says he did not try to hit him.
Nobody was surprised at these little
episodes, the wonder only being that
they have not occurred oftener, with
several toughs around, all of whom will
bear watching. There are a number
of handy pump shotguns in town and
we would suggest their usefulness to
people vino have occasion to be out late

New York, Aug. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Iloil0 says:
General Bates 10 still negotiating for
q treaty with the Sultan Of the Sulu
Islands. The Sultan is as yet unwill-
ing to accept the terms offered by the
Americans. He says the Spaniards
misrepresented to the world the na-
ture Of the treaty which he made with
them, and he wishes to limit the
Americans to the occupation Of the
town Of Jolo alone.
He claims the island Of Siasd and
the town as his own. The Sultan seems
not to have any support of his chiefs,
many of whom express friendly senti-
ments toward the Americans. Yoka-
nine, the most powerful chief In Sulu
Island, said he was willing to force
the Sultan to terms II he refused the
American proposition. All the chiefs
complain Of bad treatment by the Sui
tan.
In Mindanao the Moros are friendly
but the towns OF Zamboanga and
Mercedes are held by the insurgents.
They number 800 men and are armed
with rifles. Their leader, Alvarez,
stated to the commander OF the Cas-
tine that he desired to be neutral un-
til the difficulty with Aguinaldo In Lu-
zon was settled. II the latter was beat
en- he would surrender.
In Oebu the insurgents still hold
their strong positions in the noun
tains. The majority of the population
do not want to fight, but are hostile in
spirit.
In the case Of Iloilo the insurgents
are entrenched about the nearby
towns, Jaro and Molo. The rainy sea
son prevents an active campaign, but
considerable fighting will be done in
the fall.
The island of Negros is still unset
tied. General Hughes has sent extra
troops to suppress the uprising.
