THE GUERIN FARCE.
An American Describes n LudicrOus
Incident of the Excitement
In Paris.

A. j. Barton, a New York commission
merchant, who comes direct from Paris,
in conversation with some friends gave
an amusing description of the siege of
Castle Guerin. 1.-The ludicrous feature
OF the affair to American eyes" he said,
lis the extreme courtesy exhibited by
both sides. was lucky enough to have
letter to an official of some promi-
nence, and he had a lieutenant of police
detailed to accompany me to the Rue
Chabrol, where Guerin's house is locat-
ed. In that way was enabled to pass
the lines of guards, which were sta
toned at all the adjacent corners, and
took my stand directly opposite the
sPremises. While / was staring at the
closed shutters, a middle-aged man,
wearing a shiny silk hat, approached
between two policemen. One of the lat
ter knocked at the front door with The
hilt OF his short sword and then sprang
back and struck an attitude on the
curb. In moment little latticed
window in one of the panels was flung
open and mans head appeared. The
policeman bowed impressively and
pointed to his companion with the
shiny hat, who advanced, saluted and
presented a large envelope which he
held in his hand. 1 learned afterward
that 1T was a personal letter which the
authorities had permitted to be deliv-
cred. The ceremony concluded with
more bows and salutes on both sides,
and the latticed window was closed. l
roared with laughter, simply couldn't
help 1.-THE whole thing was SO incred-
IDLY absurd. The idea of man locking
himself in his house in the heart of a
great city and defying arrest is emf
nently Gallo. In our country big,
double-fisted policeman would smash
down the door with a couple Of kicks
and Guerin and his friends would be
inside patrol wagon before they could
count 40. explained this to my escort
and he was clearly shocked. On the
way back we passed man seated be-
fore cafe in the Boulevard Haussmann.
He was maudlin drunk, and every few
seconds he would bawl: Mort aux
Juifs!' at the top of his voice. Another
chap about ten feet away was doing
exactly the same thing, and they alter.

Coal on r apid River.

Tennyson Wright is Boise
visitor. Mr.. Wright is interested
in a recent discovery of hard coal
on Rapid river about mile from
Pollock, Idaho county. The dis
covery was made by 5. II. Sweet.
Mr.. Wright brought samples Of the
coal to this city. 1t has not the
weight OF the Pennsylvania anth-
racite, but resemb es it pretty
closely. An analysis of the coal
shows it is 81 per cent carbon.
The discoveries have not reached
the main body of the coal, but
they have opened up series of
stringers which Enthusiastically

Another Placer Bonanza.

The Newsome and Legget
Creeks Hydraulic Mining Co.
which was incorporated in Lewis
ton last month, own one Of the
finest bodies of placer ground yet
unworked in Idaho county. The
claims extend along the valley of
Newsome creek for a distance Of
eight miles, and in early days pro-
duced great deal Of wealth from
the rich spots where labor paid
800 per day profit. Although
much money has been made out
of this ground there still remains
a good average gravel that will pay
largely under modern methods
working on a large scale. The
company also owns 24O acres of
the old river channel that lies be-
tween Newsome and Leggett
creeks all of which is virgin ground.
Many spots on this old channel
such as American Hill, Buffalo
Hill in Elk City has been worked
for the last 81 years, and right
near are the Moose Creek "diggins'
which have been continuously
worked since 1861 and is still
paying.
AS soon as spring opens thu
company will commence the con.
struction of a ditch from Legg@t
creek to work their high deposit
and will drive a tunnel through
narrow neck of land between New
some creek and the south fork o
Clearwater SO as to get dumping
facilities to successfully work thu
bed OF NewsOme creek.

Railroad Developments.

Engineer Nutting has received
advices from headquarters to hurry
up the completion of his survey to
Grangeville and file HIS location
maps before the expiration OF the
truce on February .. lie VIII
complete his work this week and
from the best information obtain
able we learn that there is no
doubt but that the route OF his
last survey from the mouth OF Cot
tonwood creek to Three Mile and
thence to Grangevillc will be the
route to be definitely adopted.
The route comes out on j. u.
Rowton's place and thence takes
very nearly a straight shoot to
Grangeville over surprisingly
light grades.
The dispatches from New York
indicate that while great efforts
are being made to renew the truce
vet there seems no possibility OF
harmonising the conflicting inter
ests. and the railroad war is ex-
pected to proceed merrily along as
soon as it expires. It's confident
w expected that the Northern
Pacific will let the contract for the
completion OF the Prairie branch
early in February, which is pretty
conclusive evidence that the n. T..
people do not intend to renew ii
and that they intend to lose no
time in inaugurating the war.
1t is also certain that the o. X. &
N. will renew their work on the
division between Lewiston and
Riparia. and when that division il
completed we may look for them
to undertake the construction OF
.he Camas Prairie branch by way
of Big canyon, Cottonwood and
Denver and Grangeville.
As the Northern Pacific has
only Is ,miles Of road to build Il
reach the prairie we may conhd
emily look for its arrival here THU
year. The o. r. & N. road, being
only completed to Riparia, nearl.
$50 miles distant, we. shall in al
likelihood have to wait another
year before we get the benefit o
local competition, but we will no
mourn over that feature. Any
railroad which will put us in con
dition to reach outside markets 70
our products and facilitate tn
arrival of incoming freight will b
great godsend to everybod.
doing business on Camas Prairi
and in the adjacent mines. One
more we extend greeting to tn
people upon the prospect of oh
tanning speedy railroad connect

BIG BILL FOR SPORT.
Sir Thomas Lipton's Fun Will Cost
a Million Dollars.
The Yacht Races Have Cost botA
sides More Than Ever BE-
fore - The ChallenRers
Running Expenses.

Sir Thomas Lipton's decision not to
challenge again for the Americas cup
before 1901 is better understood when
the cost Of this years racing with the
Shamrock is known.
The races this season have cost more
on both sides than ever before. But the
challenger, having to cross the ocean
and race his yacht in foreign waters,
has borne the greater expense. The
Shamrock itself, in construction and
equipment. is said on pretty good au-
thority to have cost nearly 100000. Sir
Thomas has admitted that he spent
on the boat more than six times as
much as Lord Dunraven did on the
last Valkyrie, and valkyrie II. cost
$4,000. Figuring on the 100000 basis,
it is easy to show that the English bar
onet has spent about u million dollars
on his seasons sport.
While in this country Sir Thomas
has maintained fleet of six vessels.
including the Shamrock. He has had
his flagship, the Erin, come from Eng
land. 1t is n sumptuous steam yacht,
with staff of stewards, cooks and
servants to attend to his many guests.
Then there was the plymouth, q steam
tender, on which the Shamrock's crew,
the many carpenters, sailmakers, rig
gers and machirists slept and ate,
tugboat for towing purposes when the
Shamrock was becaimed, a small steam
launch and small steamboat which ran
between the Sandy Hook anchorage and
the Battery to transport Sir Thomas
,oiv tof mi fc
| the baronet entertained in royal fash
ion, more than a score of guests hav-
ing been brought from England at his
own expense and many of them being
provided by him with accommodations
at the most expensive New York hotels
Sir Thomas also brought over his pri-
vate physician to attend to the party,
and a painter, Chevalier de Martina.
who was to produce marine views in oil
of the cup races. On race days the
baronet employed band.
All this cost Sir Thomas about 81, 500
a day in running expenses, and the rae
ing this year, owing to lack of wind,
was prolonged over twice the usual
period. A million dollars, everything
taken into consideration, is not
|
Sir Thomas sport bill. And he lost the
races. Besides, the Shamrock is utter
ly worthless for any other purpose than
trying for the Americas cup. An old
sea captain, looking at the Shamrocl
and the Columbia, said: what would
poor man do with a boat like that.
He couldn't use her. He couldn't keel
her. To turn her around would cost
money. He couldn't even burn her
for there's little to burn on her, an.
she wouldn't bring much at SALE"
Sir Thomas Upton is millionaire
many times over. He is also bachelor
and has no near relatives, it is said
He can afford to spend 100000 nov
and then on some yacht races, but no
every season. 1t is not surprising tina
he should decide not to indulge in tn,
luxury of challenge again inside o
two years.-Springfield (Mass.) Repub
lican.

The Dewey Mining District.

Lewiston Teller.
Newton Hibbs returned last
week from the Dewey mining dist
riot. He reports a fine showing in
that section.
Divested of technical terms the
conditions at Dewey may he des-
cribcd as a great eruptive dyke of
mineralized porphry. This dyke
is cut by veins which have been
filed by precipitation. The val
ues revealed in the shallow
workings are not excessive; but the
whole deposit will be worked at a
profit. The volume of this low
grade ore is as great as that Of
Douglass island and far richer.
The veins in the main dyke re-
semble the eastern Oregon ore more
closely than any other in the min
ing world. 1t is IA counterpart of
the famous Bonanza ore. The
veins within the big lodges are II
distinctive Ore-a gold sulphide.
The values of this ore are equal to
a sylvanite.
The gold is chiefly in solution,
but large grains of the pure article
bristle in the primary ore before
being released by oxidation.
This free gold was precipitated from
vapor or liquid as the vein filling
was being deposited. These veins
it must be understood, are within
the eruption dykes. The eruption
carried gold values but whether
the precipitation resulted from a
surface or an interior source is moi
determined.
This dyke is now believed to ex
tend through all the gold camps il,
the Clearwater basin. The placer
gold is now believed to have result
from the erosion and decomposition
of this eruptive matter.
The Dewey district is one of tho
lowest gold quartz deposits in tn,
region. This fact will give en-
enlargement to the miners alonl
this belt. Dewey is only 100
feet above the sea. Buffalo HUM
is 5000 feet higher and within A
miles Of this Clearwater cut OF tn
same belt.
This gold sulphide in the vein
within veins is a remarkable &C
curance. The assay values hav
reached thousands of dollars to tn
ton. The ores Of high values il
the Dewey group promise to be a
extensive and as rich as the de
posits in the Independence mine Q
Cripple creek. This sulphide is
distinctive ore, as much SO as tn
! ores of Republic Or Cripple creek

Important Tax Case Decided.

The supreme court has decided
that railway roundhouses, shops,
etc, must be assessed separately
from the right of way, and that the
state board has nothing to do with
their equalization, all this being
left to the county board.
The case decided came up from
Lincoln county, where the assessor
assessed the shops and roundhouse
property of the company at Sho-
snone for $24 ,9S9.72 for 1897, the
taxes amounting to s1529.36. The
company refused to pay ia
claiming the property was includd|v
in the assessment made by thu
state board, and brought an action
to restrain Officials f.om selling the
property. The lower court found
in it's favor.
The supreme court therefore re-
verses the lower court.
