"CalifOrnia Dick" Dead.

From Tuesdays daily.
"Caifornia Dick" died about one
O'Clock this afternoon at the Moser
house. His real name was Rich
ard Richards and he was a native
of Pennsylvania. An unc,e of his
was at one timc governor OF that
State; but in all the long years we
have known him he never confided
any of his past history to us. He
is supposed to have been drawing
a pension, and therefore it is to be
presumed that he served in the
Federal army during the war. Our
personal knowledge Of him extends
back to 1881, when ''Dick" put in
an appearance at the office of our
Nez Perce News, at Lewiston. and
from that day to this he has been
in our employ from time to time,
and helped us get out the first issue
of the FREE Press, in 1886. Of
late years, probably owing to the
receipt of pension money, he has
net cared much for work, and has
not done anything for the past
year, except few days in this Of
flee. He was a typical tramp
printer OF IL type common enough
in the Northwest in ante-railroad
days, and their sole occupation in
HE was to roam from place to
place, working for few days, get
ting on a tear every Saturday night
and finally departing as silently as
they came. We have known
"Dick" to walk into Lewiston in
the middle of winter, when towns
were more of "a rarity and much
farther apart than they are today,
work a few days and depart for
new pastures as mysteriously as he
came.
In those days it was a point of
honor with newspaper men. to
make employment for these tramps
but with the advent of eastern men
who "knew not Joseph" and keen
er competition in the business. the
old-timers have had to watch their
dollars more closely, and the
tramps have consequently Jared
harder with the lapse of time.
This, we believe, is the reason why
California Dick" has kept so
closely around Grangeville for the
past two years-to b, out of the
way of the railroads, where living
is supposed to be easier than in
civilization. Poor Dick was no.
body's enemy but his own, and
now that he has departed hence
we can throw the mantle of char
ity over his failings and believe
that death came as blessing and
a happy release.

WESTLEY JONES RETURNS,
The Millionaire Capitalist Of Boston
Tells What His Company is Doing.

Westley Jones of Boston, the
treasurer Of the Boston Buffalo
idaho Co. which owns the Mother
Lode No. 2, St. Louis, Concord
and numerous other valuable prop
critics in the Buffalo Hump dis
trict, is in the city, having just re-
turned with +. Il. Young, the vice
president of the company, from q
tour of general investis CATION of the
company's properties. To Press
reporter Mr.. Jones said: "As you
are we'll aware our properties ara
on what is technically known as
Mineral Hill; on the Concord we
have vertical shaft down AZ feet
and have drifted IA feet each way
from the shaft with excellent values.
Our manager, James Turner,
found at that depth that we were
at the disadvantage of having two
buckets of water to one of ore,
hence We have temporarily sus-
pended work in the shaft and are
pushing development on the Moth
er Lode shaft, which is down 80
feet, all in quartz, with only one
wall in sight; a 3-foot pay streak
sampled at the dump gave returns
of S35 in gold to the ton, and a
picked sample ran SAB. This
shaft is perfectly dry and our man.
ager proposes to sink 100 feet in
all, prior to drifting. On the st.
Louis We are driving a 11O-foot
tunnel which will tap the ledge at
Il depth of 81 feet from the sur
face, working three S-hour shifts
and making about three feet every
"A hours. ! was surprised at the
amount of development work which
| saw throughout the entire camp,
taking into consideration the dis
advantages which all have been
working under in the roads and
also the age of the camp.
"Generally speaking, 1 am most
favorably impressed with the out
look of the Buffalo Hump camp
and its possibilities and 1 also real
ize the difficulties which must be
overcome before the mines can be
fully developed. but firmly be-
lieve that patience, courage and
capital will make it great camp.
That is about all I can tell you at
present. We are now EMPLOYING
about 90 men on the three proper
ties.'
When it is known that Mr.. Jones
is one of the most influential bank
ers and brokers of. Boston and New
York and a man thoroughly con-
versant with all phases of mining.
it is to say the least encouraging
to read the above. What the Buff
falo Hump camp needs is just such
liberal minded men, for as he SAYS
in his interview, what the camp
needs is patience, courage and cap
iial. Well, we have the two first
mentioned necessities, and now if
Mr.. Jones and some other rich men
will give us the capital we will
make the world-beater camp of the
northwest in the Buffalo Hump.

A Deserved Promotion.

Mike Murray, the undaunted
color bearer of Company G, who is
known as the "Hero of Tuolipooli'
and beloved by every man in the
army for his bravery, has been re-
cognized by the government and
appointed a captain in the United
States regular army. This is a
well earned promotion, for the
story is told that at the famous and
ever 10 be remembered charge of
Tuolipooli, Murray was ahead of
the troops carrying the standard
and when they came to the Flip
ino trenches he leaped over the
stockade, with a revolver in one
hand and the dear old stars and
stripes in the other, and he was SO
far in advance of the rest of the
troops that it was some time be.
fore they joined him, but Mike
was there in time to stampede $50
Filipinos; so the government has
recognized the fact that good Idaho
blood is the thing to have in the
regular army and Mike is now a
full-aedged captain.

slaughter of the Filipinos, and the &C
count of the latest battle will remind
sportsmen of nothing so much as part
ridge hunt, in which the bushes are
beaten and the covey flushed for the
gunners lying in wait to shoot them
down.
In the last battle our gallant troops
flushed the Filipinos in the jungle, driv-
ing them out onto the beach, where
they were moved down by the rapid
fire machine guns of the fleet lying
outside in wait.
1t was a splendid manoeuvre of our
intrepid troops and well backed up by
the gallant tars, but it was none the
less a sickening slaughter and we fail
to catch any note of enthusiasm over
the report of the victory, overwhelm-
ing though it was.
This sort of warfare is unquestion-
ably as distasteful to our gallant boys
in blue as it is to the people at home
to read about it. The sentiment of the
soldiers is probably hest expressed by
that big, raw-boned Colorado volunteer,
who said it reminded him of nothing
so much as a rabbit hunt on mis- native
plains. The note of disgust in the big
soldiers remark was not disguised,
and it accords we'll with the prevailing
American sentiment regarding the
practical results of Mr.. McKinley's pol
icy of benevolent assimilation"

THE VIRGINIA DEBT AGAIN.

Elsewhere this morning the Regis
ter publishes some matter in relation
to the Virginia debt question. 1t
is in the shape of a communication on
the subject from Hon. r. P. Chew ac-
companied by a synopsis of a memoir
ial to be submitted to the Legislature.
The Register has no intention of
stirring up the dry bones of this old
question again. It's readers fully I'M
derstand the Registers consistent
stand regarding it from the time it was
first urged upon the attention of the
war born State. 1t is identical with
and voices the position of the Demo-
cracy. We publish the matter referred
to at the request of the gentlemen
concerned who appear to think they
have been aggrieved in some manner.
In this connection, by the way, the
Register would take issue with Mr..
Chew, who claims it has misappre-
hended his position on the subject
The Register has not even referred to
Mr. Chew's connection with this mat
ter. AS representing the holders OF
the deferred certificates the committee
of which he is a member is doubtless
acting in entire good faith in its eff
forts to bring about a settlement.
Meanwhile, we fail to see what is to
be accomplished by this latest effort to
bring the matter before the Legislature
in the face of the joint resolution, pass
ed by that body by a unanimous vote,
not to consider the Virginia debt CUES
ton at this session. We fail to see
how this obstacle to consideration of
the question is to be overcome at this
session, at Notwithstanding the
implied threat that in the absence of a
settlement with this State the matter
will be presented to the United States
Supreme Court for adjudication.

OF Gen. Nelson A. Miles, whose bold
and manly championship of his troops
and defiance OF the powers OF the adj
ministration have already come close
to making him popular idol in whom
the shrewd politicians OF both political
parties now see a mighty factor in
Presidential politics.
This is a terrible ghost to William
Mckinley, who is as ambitious as he is
weak. Do what he will he cannot lay
lit.
The investigation into Gen. Miles's
embalmed beef charges is we'll planned
and clever, but futile. Whether Miles
shall be officially vindicated or Off
cially condemned and deposed it will
matter not to the people. He is al
ready more than vindicated in the pop
ular mind and no adverse report of any
commission the President or Alger can
name will have the slightest weight
with the people, who have learned to
look with profound contempt on the
various commissions to which the Pres
dent has been wont to throw down the
reins at every emergency.
Gen. Miles is safe in popular esteem,
do what William Mckinley may in his
efforts to supplant him there.
Gen. Miles's charges-which really
mean Miles, himself-are to be inves-
ftigated. True But it is not Gen. Miles
Kinley.
