The Misses keenan,, Purviauce

Red Fish lake, one day last weel

saw a large silver tip bear OF
the road. They were greatly
surprised to learn on their ar
rival at the lakes that there were
no horse-fies to mar their hap
piness, for the mosquitoes haC
eaten all the horse-hies.
A most remarkable discover,
has been made by party of en-
gineers who were sent out in th
interest of the proposed ldah'
Midland railroad. Near th'
Boise Blaine county line the,
camped on a lake, in which the.
bathed. One of the more ven
turesome of the party swan ou
a considerable distance, when b
encountered a current of yer,
warm water. The party built
raft and went out to investigate
l They discovered that a body G
hot water was being belched u
in the middle of the lake. The
q let down a rope over 80 fee
S long with a rock tied to the enc
and it did not touch bottom. Ou
: side the hot water area the dept
n of the lake is only about twenty
' five feet, and the water is moo
erately cold near the heated eli
cumference, but almost too col
to bathe in nearer the shore;
When the rock was pulled up
was found to be too hot to la
d hands on. A thermometer We
g lowered attached to rock, an
!, it showed a temperature OF ove
u 10 degrees Fahrenheit. TT
a lake is believed to be over
: crater of red hot rocks. A mol
/ extended investigation is to b
= made as soon as possible.-Sa
