A DUTY.
ana no collection.

The Fire Department, which by the way, exercises the only shadow of or ganized authority of which our city can boast, has appointed a committee to go about and ferret out the unhealthy places in our town. It is to be hoped that this committee will do its work well and thoroughly. However, in order that their work may be effective, it is necessary that they meet with hearty cooperation on the part of our citizens.
 To be sure the orders of this commit tee are not backed by law, but there is law which eau be brought to bear upon people who will insist on being stubborn in matter of this kind. We hope that our people will realize the necessity of this move and anticipate the action of the committee by thor oughIy cleaning up their premises.

MINING CAMP TRICKS.

One Instance Where = Scheme work
ed the Wrong Way.
"There is a great deal that is out OF
the ordinary in mining" said Samuel
Mott of Boise City, Ida, although l
think from personal experience it liz
probably more so in the relation than
in the actual happening. In every
mining camp / have known there
have always been charges that those

the next claim In taking out the ore,
and consequently were taking out
what wasn't theirs. These claiyns 1t
was always difficult to substantiate,
for the reason that the offender, Of
course, would not allow the offended to
enter his workings, and without sur
vey it would be impossible to make out
case. Every subterfuge and excuse
possible was resorted to to get into a
suspected mine.
II remember one ease in an apex OF
vein suit, where the workings had
been temporarily shut down and a man
called Johnny Come Lately heavily
armed, was on guard. The other side
had tried again and again to get by
Johnny but had always failed, when
one man, who knew that Johnny was
an enthusiastic hunter. hired an &C.
quaintance of his to stroll by with a
gun over his arm and to engage John
ny In a conversation about bar 1t
worked to a charm, and while he was
thus engrossed they managed fe slip
in and survey the mine.
"Then there was the case Of the
Last Chance against the Tyler. In this
case the workings happened to run to-
gether, and the Last Chance people
were working the same vein from I'M
derneath that the Tyler owners were
working from on top. Knowing they
would sooner or later break through,
the Tyler people prepared smudge-
that Is, saturated cordwood that would
give forth tremendous smoke which,
they hoped, would drive the Last
Chance people out of their mine. But
when they finally set it off it went the
other way and made the Tyler work
ings absolutely untenable. Indeed three
of the miners were overcome and were
rescued only with great difficulty. ~

The mint mark collection is the lat
