The publication in the last issue of the

Idah0's New Boom.

This whole country is on the boom.
Mineral strikes and railroad prospects
are the cause of it, Buffalo Hump being
the most important factor. From Lewis
ton to Mount Idaho business is showing
the exhilaration of the boom, and every
body is confident that it is but the be-
ginning of permanent prosperity.
New towns and new additions to old
towns are coming to the front, the price
Of real estate is leaping skyward, every
house of every description is occupied to
its full capacity, and large numbers of
new ones are under construction, while
many vacant lots serve as tenting ground
for people who cannot get otherwise
housed. The transient traveller who gets
room to himself is lucky, and still more
lucky is he if he is not bundled off two
Or three blocks to some barracks of a
lodging house utilized in connection
with the hotel where he may have
registered. These conditions have pre-
vailed for two or three months, and
there Is no sign or prospect of abate-
ment.
1t is not country of one industry,
however IF there were no mines
tributary it would still be country OF
uncommon richness in agricultural
resources, with timber as an important
accessory. But the agricultural resources
are as undeveloped as the minerals.
Lack OF transportation has kept Idaho

early days did not require the shipping
facilities that are essential to the develop
ment Of quartz mines, but most of the
known placer basins have been worked
out and a quartz mining era is upon the
country. Two railroad lines are pro-
jected throgh it, and every industry,

fer Farmers see higher prices for their
products, and are preparing to cultivate
more of the rich land at their disposal.
They see prosperity both in the coming
facilities for reaching outside markets

increase home consumption. So the
future looks rosy for all kinds of bust

Charged With HOrSeStealing.

A farmer by the name of Baird, resi-
dent of the Potlatch, was arrested for
horsestealing some time ago. A hard
fought trial followed, before Justice Stod-
dard of Leland.
Ii seems to have been a case of mistake
Baird had claim on a horse that was
supposed to be on the range. He went
to hunt for his horse, and learning of one
which had been unclaimed for a time
corresponding TO the time his horse had
been at large and the stray answering the
description of the one sought by Baird
This stray, that had run upon the range
half starved for years, was taken up bv
Baird as his probable lost horse and put
to service. The man who later estab-
lished his title to the stray found this
horse in Baird's possession and had him
arrested for theft.
The case was fought out by Attornies
Wolf for the prosecution and Tannahill
for the defendant Baird was acquitted
and exonerated of any intent to defraud
by Justice Stoddard.

Every Man Arrested.

Following the wholesale arrest of the
rioters commenced by the federal troops,
the soldiers Thursday raided the town of
Burke and took into custody every man
there who could be captured.
1t was remarkable assembly that was
at last rounded up by the regulars. Min
ers and laboring men were only part OF
the number. There were storekeepers,
capitalists, saloon men, preachers, school
teachers, and even the postmaster, in the
motley crowd. The captors recognized
neither class nor occupation. The soldiers
started out to get every man living in the
place, and they succeeded. The prison
oners were herded into train OF box cars
and taken TO Wardner for detention. Ii
was one Of the most remarkable arrests
ever made in any country. Burke is said
to be the hotbed of the dynamite ele-
ment In the miners union. Ever since
the labor troubles of 1892 it has been
known as a camp that is absolutely con-
trolled by the union. 1t was the Burke
crowd which OH Saturday last stole a
United States mail train and, with a
thousand masked men, rushed down to
Wardaer to assist in the destruction of
the Bunker Hill mill.
That deed was one of the reasons of the
raid of to-day. The leaders of the dyna-
mite crowd had retreated to Burke and
we're believed TO be still there. unless they
had taken to the hills. In order to cap
tire whatever ringleaders might still re-
main in the country, General Merriam
decided to capture the whole male popu-
lation of the town.

A New Mining Camp.

NOW there is a mining excitement in
Nez Perces county. A mum ber of
locations have been made near Greer's
ferry on the Clearwater river.
This region has been prospected for a
number of years and it has its traditions
of lost mine. During the Nez Perces
war party of prospectors were run to
cover in the canyon of the Lolo and
while in hiding they found very rich
ledge. The prospectOrs were scared
badly, did not expect to save their scalps
even, but they Clipped off chunks OF
gold bearing quartz and carried it to
their homes. They collected together
fragments Of memory of its location but
the confused state of mind at the time
left them with only vague recollections
of the location of the ledge which they
concealed with brush and dirt.
Years after members of that party re-
turned to the vicinity of Greer's ferry
secretly and tramped all summer up and
down the country in search Of this rich
ledge, which they have never found. All
of these old prospectors have died The
last to visit the scene of this exciting ex-
perience came three years ago. He was
tottering on the border of the grave, and
he brought younger men to learn all he
knew and tried to inspire the second gen
Grafton of prospectors to pursue the
ignis fatuus that he had followed till it
wore his life away.
1t may be that the present excitement
will lead to the bonanza that was lost
twenty-five years ago. At least Greer's
ferry is in rich mineral district. and it
is reasonable to expect rich camps in that
region.
John Sloan is now driving the Widen
thaler delivery wagon.
