Agreement Reached.

The state department has been
informed that the foreign minis
ters at Pekin reached an agree
ment which was submitted to the
home offices. Secretary Hay ca
bled Minister Conger authorizing
him to sign the agreement on
behalf of the United States gov
ernment. 1t is difficult TO get
other details of the understanding
at this time. However,it is known
that in the two important issues
that were still open, namely. those
relating to punishment and in
demnity, the view of the United
States government has prevailed.
AS to punishments they are to
be the severest that can be infiict-
ed by the Chinese government. AS
to the indemnity the Chinese gov
eminent is to formally admit its
liability and then the matter is to
be left to future negotiation. II
was understood on the other points,
the French proposition has formed
the basis of the agreement.

NEN MINING VENTURE.
BIG COMPANY FORMED
TO Drain Channel of the Payette
River.

Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Bunch aad
family and D. S. Bunch are in the
city from Garden valley, to remain
short time on a shopping expedi-
ton. Mr.. Bunch lately returned
from the east, where he consum-
mated the formation Of a mining
company, contemplating one of the
most unique as we'll as probably as
feasible enterprises of the west.
Readers of the Statesman will
remember the Horseshoe Bend
country as one of the prolific placer
fields Of what is known as the
Boise basin, as the matter has been
given considerable publicity from
time to time. Attempts to organ
ize a company to run a long tunnel
there TO work the river bed have
been made a number of times, but
it remained for Mr.. Bunch to bring
it to a successful consummation.
This tunnel will drain two miles
of the Payette river, making it
possible to work the gravels of its
bed, as we'll as the low bars. The
tunnell will be either Sx10or 1Ox12
feet, $50 feet long, and with a YER
ticle depth Of ground overhead of
200 feet. 1t will take all the water
flowing in the river, and thus, in
stead of a bend two miles long, the
river at this point will be straight,
and but $50 feet long The tun-
mel is but a short distance from
the famons DeadwoOd fork of the
Payette, from which more than
81, 100000 has been taken. From
the portion of the river to be drain
ed Mr.. Bunch and brother have
taken out $1,000 while prospect
ing, and OH one occasion, while the
water was very low, enabling them
to get close to bedrock, they panned
out $50 in one day. and at another
time, in three days they got Sl05.
There is no feasible way vet of
determining the value of the
ground in the center, or on bed
rock, because there is always too
much water to get into it.
The company lately formed has
already made arrangements for the
immediate commencement of work.
They have purchased supplies suf-
6cient for the winter and several
thousand dollars worth of ma
chinery. This latter includes a
gasoline engine, two sets of Burley
drills, to be run by electricity. and
a dynamo. Twenty men Will be
Immediately set to work, and as
soon as the tunnel is completed
these will be increased to 100. II
is estimated with the latter number
of employees it will take two years
to work out the deposit. The
prospectus of the company states
the gold values of the deposit vii
average above 81 per cubic yard
The formation of a good company
one that will prosecute continuous
, development, means much to th,
Horseshoe Bend country and tC
the state. 1t is 4 region of known
good values, and this big tunne
project will bring the gold int
| circulation.

COLORADO MAN TALKS.
The Undiscovered Country Of
the Capitalist.

II. B. Westover, Of Colorado
Denver and Colorado Springs-a
mining man, is stopping in the
city for few days rest, says the
Salt Lake Tribune. Mr.. Westover
has just returned from 15OO-mile
trip through the mining, agricul-
tural and horticultural districts of
Idaho. He is very enthusiastic
over the resources of Idaho. 1t is
the undiscovered country of the
capitalist; its latent possibilities
are second to none, with its mil
lions of acres of agricultural,
millions of mineral and millions
of acres of timber land still open
for the prospector and settler; the
climate is equal TO California. The
rainfall is not sufficient for agri-
cultural purposes, but the full
mountain streams never give out.
The fruits are the best; no place
in the United States can excel
them.
For mining she now stands the
fifth state in the Union, and inside
of ten years will gain at least to
second place. From the date of
the first discovery of the precious
metal in Idaho in the COS. to the
present, this state has taken aud
holds an enviable position among
the mining states of the west.
True, Colorado and Montana have
forged ahead, owing to the fact
that for some reason they com
mand all the necessary capital to
develop their rich mines, while
Idaho, though wonderfully rich in
gold, silver, copper and lead, did
not attract the attention of capital
untila comparatively recent date
but now her wonderful properties
are becoming known aud she will
rapidly take the lead, as it may be
truly said, without boasting, that
Idaho has a greater wealth of min.
ing resources, agricultural and
timber lands than Colorado anc
Montana combined. Her placers
have been the wonder of the ma
ton; they have yielded near the
S50O,000, 600 mark. Her lead mines
produce over one-third of the leac
produced in the United States, ,anC
her mountains will reveal wealth
as marvellous as South Africa anC
Cripple Greek combined.
Pearl, small camp 25 miles
north of Boise, and west of tn,

A short time ago Dan Burke
and John Whalen Of Owyh,e
county were out on trip toga iher-
Whalen rode into Snake river at
Halls ferry through a mistake and
was drowned. Burke went to
Boise and reported the accident.
His actions later looked a little
suspicious and he was accused Of
foul play, the Statesman devoting
much space to him. However.
when he was taken back to Silver
City for trial the mist was cleared
away and every incident wasshown
to be just as stated by Burke
previously.

ing it to be one of the most salient,

the values of farms are enhanced

sanntor RlnelEbnrn,a WOW,

Politics which furnishes strange con-
trasts and many paradoxes has never
afforded such fine irony as does the slt-
uatlon in Kentucky. Senator Black
burn, who is now behind Goebel en-
couraging him, in fact insisting upon
his illegal contest for the governorBhip,
was not always the warm friend Of that
political degenerate he now processes
to be. Four short years ago Goebel
murdered Senator Blachburn's best
friend. At that time Blackburn stood
over the CONN OF the victim. who was
Colonel John L. Sanford, and. with all
his dramatic eloQuence, delivered this
solemn utterance: John Sanford was
to me like brother. loved him.
hope God may spare me, and shall
make 1t my lifo's mission to ayenge him
by burying his slayer in the depths Of
merited public execration."
This solemn pledge, made beside the
body OF his murdered friend, was wide
ly quoted at the time, and now is being
recalled with terrible force, in view of
Blackburn engaging in the support of
Goebel, from the fact that the man who
took the life Of Colonel Sanford, and
against whom that vow of vengeance
was made, was William Goebel, him
self.
The tragedy referred to occurred at
CovIngton. Kentucky. Colonel Sanford
and Goebel had bitter quarrel. One
day they met on the street and San
ford was shot dead. According to the
evidence OF Goebel's trial Sanford had
been the first to draw his pistol, and the
slayer was acquitted on. the ground of
self-defense. The friends Of Colonel
Sanford, however, have always held
that the provocation came from Goebel,
and that the blood -gUiltIness Is on Goe-
bells head. Among those friends was
Senator Blackburn, when he prayed
God to grant him a life long enough to
avenge Sanford by burying Goebel in
"the depths Of public execratIon."
Nor is that all that Is painful and
tragic in the situation. A few weeks
before the Kentucky election, the re-
suits Of which Goebel is now trying to
vItiate, the widow of the murdered San
ford was taken to an insane asylum,
her reason succumblnE to the awful
amlctlOn that had befallen her through
the fundamentally OF the man whom
Blackburn solemnly vowed to bury "in
the depths Of public execration." Poor
Sanford! In the impressive reflection
of Rip Van Wrinkle. how soon are we
