County Seat Removal.

The statement of the Denver
correspondent of the "MaiP'
that the supreme court of
Idaho has decided that a
"county seat must be removed
more than six miles if moved at
all,' is erroneous. Not only has
no such decision been made, but
the matter has never been submit
ted to the court in any form. The
distance is immaterial. The cor
respondent evidently has got the
distance mixed up with the time
limit in which these contests may
be voted on. The constitution of
the state, ART. XVIII., section 2,
says: ga proposition of removal
of the county seat shall not be sub
mitted in the same county more
than once in six years" However
there is no necessity for present
discussion of the matter. The
people of growing Grangeville will
take no action looking to it's re-
moval until the advent Of the
railroad to Grangeville necessitates
it. The people Of Grangeville
have less interest have less inter-
est in the removal OF the county
seat than anybody, and apart from
the convenience of the tax payers
there is no reason why we should
desire it's removal here. We are
only three miles from Mt. Idaho
and we have ample mail and
telephone communication with the
court house and we do the busi-
ness with the jurymen and wit
nesses anyhow. The county seat
has been at Mt. Idaho for 20 years
and experience shows that it takes
something more than the possess
ion of county capital to make a
business and commercial center.
The people of Grangeville contrib
ute nearly one third of
the county revenues, and we
are unwilling TO bear the
burden of taxation required to
build new court house until the
people demand it's removal.
Grangeville has grown to its
present status almost under the
shadow of the present court house
and it's possession is no more
necessary to our existence than
it would be to Portland. When
the campaign for removal of the
county seat is inaugurated it will
be made in the interest of the peo
pie, and not in the interest Of
Grangeville.

Fire at Buffalo Hump,

fire that destroyed some of their
property on Lake creek.
The building was erected last
spring and used all summer as an
Office, but recently turned into a
bunk house for the men, was total
ly destroyed together with it's
contents. The men lost all of
their effects, and the company
lost in addition to a lot of small
tools, castings and shafting, a large
portion of the sawmill and stamp

from the Badger mine last winter
and probably lot of trimmings
belonging to the new engine and

A Wonderful Strike.

The sensation of the week is the
discovery near Elk City by Ira X.
LamOreaux, of an exceedingly
rich vein of free milling gold ore,
the richest by far that was ever
found in central Idaho, 1t has
been our good fortune to chronicle
a good many strikes of this nature
since the establishment ofthe FREE
PRESS in 1886, but the present one
eclipses them all, both in extent of
discovery and richness of the
ore.
The scene of the strike is bout
two miles northeast of Elk City
on the east side of American river
at the mouth of "Donahue Gulch"
where placer mining has been
carried on for years. Thos. Dona-
hue, an old Elk City miner, mined
this gulch for many years. The
claim lies about 1000 feet above
the Blue Dragon claim and on the
opposite side of the American
river. 1t has general east and
west strike. The vein has been
uncovered for distance of 300
feet and outside of the rich CHM
ney Of ore, shows about Is inches
of ore that will run $40 per ton.
The point of the rich discovery
shows from to IA inches OF
extremely rich ore that runs up
into the thousands per ton.
LamOreaux ran cut 30 feet in
length on this ore, and at the face
of the cut sank a shaft 6 feet in
depth, thus giving a face of solid
quartz about Is feet high, the
bottom of which shows almost az
good as the top. 1t is fact that
Lamroeaux has already pounded
out over So, 900 in dust which he
has stored in baking powder can.
and wide necked pickle bottles,
and has stored in his cabin and
cached around in the brush stver-
al tons of ore that will undoubted-
ly yield him according to most
conservative estimates S12, 600 tc
$15, 900, even if he shouldn't find
any more in his mine, but as the
bottom looks as well as any of his
specimens it is presumed he has a
fortune. This strike was made
several months ago, but not much
attention was paid to it, until he
sent out to the Bank of Grangeville
a shipment of dust, that he had
pounded out of the ore.
Thereupon intense excitement
was aroused and the story Of the
strike was heralded all over the
United States with the customary
ezaggerations and embellishments.
Many parties have gone into the
place of discovery in hope of find
ing similar deposits.
There is no question but that
this lead is one of many that has
fed the rich placer claims of Elk
City. These veins are blind and
when the prospectors get on to the
method of finding such deposits
there will be more riches come out
of Elk City than was ever dreamed
of. A comparison of the ore from
the Lamoreaux strike and the free
gold specimens found in the old
placer wash at American Hill,
Buffalo Hill and other places On
the rich channel wash, will readily
convince anyone that they are the
| same.

HOMICIDE At WHITE BIRD
Charles Burlington Shot and Killed By
Hank Ray Last Saturday
Afternoon

News was received here Monday
of the shooting and consequent
death of Charles Burlinghoff at the
hands of Henry Ray at White
Bird, on Sunday afternoon, the
1lth inst. Both men live adjacent
to Whitebird, and it seems from
the meagre details obtainablc at
present that they with some other
men were collected in u saloon
when the subject of an old law suit,
arising out of the ownership of
some hogs between Henry Ray and
one Troy Rogers was raised, and
Ray said that any man who was n
friend of Rogers was
Burlinghooff, it seems, i'm
mediately took exception to the
language Of Ray and proceeded to
knock him down with one of the
saloon chairs, and as Ray arose he
pulled 45-calibre Colts re-
volver and shot Burlinghoff
twice, one bullet lodging in the
groin and taking an upward course
and the other taking effect in the
shoulder and ranging downward.
Ray Immediately gave himself up
and a coroner's inquest was had,
with Justice of the Peace +. Y.
Taylor acting as coroner pro TEN,
which is in accordance with the
Idaho statutes when the said Off.
cial is unable to be present, and
upon the testimony adduced Ray
was discharged.
No attempt was made to com
municate with either Coroner
Nickel or County Attorney Scales
both of whom we're at Grangevill,
at the time and within easy com
munication. The verdict of tn,
coroner's jury was that "Charle
Burlington came to his death b,
pistol wounds inflicted by the hans
Of Henry Ray in self defense.
Questioned by a FREE Press rep
resentative County Attorney Scale
said: 1T is impossible at presen
to say what action will be takel
by the County Attorneys Office
but the matter will be thoroughly
investigated"

progress.
At the sixty foot level there was
a crosscut run that showed vein
Is feet in width, all of which
showed a milling value, and at the
time he left the camp the bottom
of the shaft was in good ore. In
all probability the company will
put in a large hoist and pump at
once and during the summer erect
a large milling plant.
Mr.. Thompson confirms the
strike on the Lamoreaux claim
near Elk City and brought out
specimens which put the last
summers strike at Marshall lake
completely in the background.
