The Rapid River Country.

S. ii. Sweet and Tennyson
Wright are down from Pollock
on the Little Salmon, says the
Boise Statesmen. They are the
owners of the deposit of coal recent
ly discovered on Rapid river by
Mr.. Sweet. The latter has been
pushing work on the claims. He
reports that he has driven the
tunnel 100 feet. He has been
following stringers of coal through
formation of fire clay and sand
stone. The formation is broken
and he does not expect to find the
main ledge until the tunnel shall
have been driven zoe feet farther
The seam that the tunnel follows
has been six inches thick at
places. Many detached pieces Of
coal have been found. In some
cases these are from one to three
feet thick.
Mr.. Sweet says the Rapid river
section is the best mineral country
he ever saw. He has travelled
over the copper belt for 30 miles
or more and believes it will be the
best in the United States. The
West Fork Mining company, oper-
ating on the west fork of Rapid
river, has a fine property opened.
The ledge is very wide and can be
traced a long distance. The ore
will average from $40 to $12 in
silver and gold and from IA to Is
per cent copper.
An enormous ledge has recently
been discovered on the Salmon.
The ore is of conglomerate charac-
ter and carries much gold that can
be seen with the naked eye. This
ledge is believed to have fed many
of the placers there, as the placer
gold is often found with rock
attached like that found in the
ledge.
One of the Idaho volunteers pur-
chased placer there from an old
man for $25. He found pay and
in few weeks last fall took out
$4,000 in coarse gold, mostly
nuggets.

Uranus and It's Four Moons

Astronomers are turning their
telescopes in the direction of the
planet Uranus, which has become
interesting of late 10y reason of
the fact that it has assumed such
a position in the sky that its four
moons, revolving about it like so
many little golden shuttleS, are
at present in plane at right an
giles with the line of vision from
the earth.
Uranus is one of the great plan
cts of the outer group i'll the solar
system. Uranus is a very inter
esting sort of a world in more
than one respect. 1t is about 60
times as big as the earth, and one
of its years is equal to eighty four
of ours. From the viewpoint of
its inhabitants (SuppoSing any
such to exist the sun rises in the
west and sets in the east, while
all of the four moons have the
same popularity. TO them the
sun looks only one four hundredth
as large as it does to us, inaSmuch
as they are 100000 600 miles
away from that luminary, and
daylight is proportionately dim,
though bright enough to see by
comfortably, inaSmuch as at mid
day it is equal to the illumination
of fifteen hundred moons like
ours.
Uranus has a diameter of 80,
600 miles, and its distance from
the earth is /. 700, 900 miles,

The Greatest in the World.

Every State has increased in
population and the only city
which has apparently lost is the
one which padded its returns ten
years ago and now suffers for its
folly.
The United States now has a
larger population than any Euro
pean country except Russia, and
the average of our wealth and
productive capacity carries us far
beyond that kingdom in real
greatness. Germany, anon g
European countries, comes next
to the United States, nut it can
show only population Of 81, 279,
901, or about two-thirds of our
total. In area the United States,
with its new possessions, is about
as large as all Europe. In wealth
it is the richest nation the world
has ever known.-From THE Sat
