Dent & Buffers New Store.

The new brick store building OF Dent
& Buffers is nearly finished. The car
penters are nearly through with the wood
work, when it will pass into the hands
of the painters for the finishing touches.
The shelving has been placed ia position
and the other fixtures will be arranged i'll
place as soon as the painting is done.
The fixtures are of oak, handsome and
neat in design and rich i'll finish. The
prescription case will occupy the deck
built for it above the first floor. 1t is a
handsome piece of furniture, and will
tend to make the compounder more ex-
peditious in his work because pf the con-
venience in its arrangement. A neat and
well arranged private office is another
attractive feature of this model drug
store. 1t opens off from the main store

The Middle Fork District

The Middle Fork strike continues to
attract mining men from all quarters. II
is generally believed that the big ledge
discovered about month agoby Wheeler
and Gates is almost or quite equal to the
Buffalo Hump strike. The values of the
ores of the district have not been very
thoroughly tested, but the big ledge car
ries gold in quantity TO make mine, for
pan and mortar tests reveal free gold SUI
ficient to pay for milling. J. J. Bennett
of Grangeville secured an option on this
big ledge last Monday. He sampled very
carefully, and if the assay returns are sat

Vineland Waterw0rkS.

J. w. Springston, representing the pipe
company who have secured the contract
to nut in the Vineland waterworks, has
arrived and is engaged in the prelimi-
nary survey of the lines. Ten carloads
of the pipe are now on the way and will
reach Vineland some time next week.
The line will be completed in the next
six weeks.
The head of the pipe line is in the high
line ditch, some 200 feet above the lower
levels. The main where It leaves Inc
ditch is I6-inch pipe. The 10 inch pipt
will continue some 5000 feet, when il viii
reduce to I2-inch pipe, which viii rut
1000 feet. The laterals will run int
smaller and smaller pipes until the ser
vice pipes are reached which supply the
dwellings. The wafer delivered by IN
system is primarily for domestic use. IN
irrigation will still be supplied by thu
open bitches.

isfactory a payment Of $4,000 will be
made June Ist. followed by payments at
short intervals till the full amount OF the
bond, 500 900, is paid.
The extent of the deposit has not been
established. There has been a rush Of
prospectors to the camp in the past two
weeks The distinctive rock that carries
free gold has been found only in the
big Wheeler ledge. This deposit is 10
feet wide and it extends about 1900 feet
across the mountain. II has not been
traced beyond this limit.
The Wheeler ledge is porphyry-quartz
Of volcanic origin. The walls are both
Arch,eau granite. The naturalization
seems to have been the result Of slow
accumulation of vein filling aud con.
tinued filtration from heated mineral
water.
This ledge is five miles from the juno.
ton of the I.ocksaw and Selway forks Of
the Middle Fork, at an elevation OF about
6ooo feet above the sea. At present the
mine is almost inaccessible. A rugged
mountain must be climbed over new
trail blaaed through the thick brake, and
over which horses cannot pass. The Wis.
itor must carry blankets and board for
two days from the river to the mine ON
his back. The river Is very turbid
stream. II is generally impossible TO Sc
cure the service OF boat. A small hand
! raft is the only available means oil fer
riage. IT ese RATS are rocked upon the
rough water. The cold water runs over
them very often. II is necessary for
safety to sit fiat upon the logs of the raft
As the cold water creeps up the spine in
the course of one of these voyages the
sensation is not consoling to tender
spirit.
The formation cranks can find no fault
with the Middle Fork district. The
ear,h's crust is folded in an ideal manner.
The geological strata from the archaean
to the quatenary are encountered as
readily by the explorer on the mountains
and In the canyons of this district as In
any part of the globe. No expert can
disregard the possibilities Of the Middle
Fork district. While these indications
do not insure valuable ore deposits they
make an interesting field for the pros
pector. The ledges are numerous and
large. The need Of the district is the
prospector and the capitalist to revea
the values Of the ore deposits.

MOUNT IDAHO COURT NEWS
Alleged Frauds In the Recent City Election
to Be Investigated by the Grand Jury
z. S. Sweet Appointed Foreman OF the
Jury-4 Civil Cases. 2 Criminal.

MT. IDAHO, May Especial to the
Teller. THE sitting of the district court
at present being held here evinces little
of interest from a sensational point of
view There are only a couple of cases
which rise above the ordinary in inter
esiing points. 1t all rests with the grand
jury, now impanelled and in conference,
as to whether there will be any other
cases set OH the criminal side of the
docket other than the two cattle steaiing
cases now set for trial.
On Monday morning his honor Judge
Steele instructed the jury as to their du-
ties and sent them TO their private room
for their deliberations, appointing f. S.
| Sweet as foreman, which appointment is
regarded here as particularly fitting. Mr..
Sweet is a man of business integrity, ex-
ceptional honor and sound Judgment.
1t is generally conceded that the only
case charging murder which the jury will
consider, in which there is any possibility
of finding a bill, is that of the killing o.
one Charles Burlinghof by Henry Ray in
a quarrel at Whitebrd during the nigh,
of Feb 10th
1t is thought by those supposed to
know that certain alleged frauds in tn,
recent city election will be investigated
and also the cases of several physicians
who have been practicing here withou
the necessary credentials.
The iury has now been out three days
The civil docket shows "a cases so far
but none of real Importance except tn
, prabstake case of Sherman vs. Plumme
ct al. In the majority Of cases J. T. All
shie appears on one side and Count.
Attorney Scales on the other.

Mr.. Grow of Pennsylvania, the vcntra-

the homestead bill, supported the meas
ure. The scene before him, he said, re-
minded him of the occasion in the old

ovation.
BY unanimous consent it was ordered
that his original homestead speech be

Mr.. Wilson of Idaho vigorously aavo-
Gated the bill
Messrs Shafroth of Colorado, Meyers of

Jones of Washington, Burke of South

Gamble of South Dakota also spoke In
favor of the BILL
The committee amendments were
agreed to. An amendment was adopted
to extend the operation of the act 10 ag-

Gently opened to settlement"
The bill was then passed amid enthus-
iasm in the galleries.
The free homestead bill will be well

AN ENJOYABLE EVENT.
A Party Given at the Loretto Academy On
SATURDAY. Afternoon.

Last Saturday afternoon was most
enioyably spent by both boarding and
day pupils of the academy of Our Lady
OF Light. On dismissal on Friday the
externs were invited to spend the fol-
lowing afternoon at the academy, and,
wonderful to say, this announcement
did not reach the ears of the boarders,
who on Saturday afternoon were told
to be in the assembly hall by 2 o'clock
and to look their prettiest.' h last
injunction was, in general, we'll carried
out on the suspicion that our photos
are going to be TAKEN
To sweet strains of music the now
fairly anxious seventy-five pupils
marched in and around the recreation
hall till upon a given signal all were
seated and found themselves at a great
auction sale, where both valuable and
some very comical objects We're dis
posed of.
In the form of souvenirs each guest,
on entering, was presented with a dam
ty silk bag containing fifty beans C5o)
for the bidding. An hour of great mirth
was spent here, when all proceeded 10
the grounds for the game of 1.-The Mex
lean ~Cornucopia," which had been pre-
pared for the smaller girls, about thlr-
ty-five taking part.
Now, for the spider web" In the
| front door of the academy a web was
| begun and balls of string, each about
| 200 wards in length, We're given to the
young ladies, about forty in lumber,
| whose work was to weave the web
| across the front lawn. Need it be said
| that this was entered into with all the
| enthusiasm of Loretto's ~fun-loving
girls?
A handsome prize for the n who
| first completed her ball was won by
! Miss Lulu Hudgens; a BOBBY prize was
{ awarded to the one who finished last.
Again, the pupils formed the well-ac-
| customed double file and were conduct
ed to the pretty lawn on the academy
Fairgrounds, where delicious and abun-
| dant refreshments were served. After
expressing thanks for the delights OF
the afternoon the day pupils took
leave, but the remainder of the evening
was spent by the happier and more ia
vored boarding pupils in tripping the
light fantastic"
On June 4 the final examinations be-
gin. and on these depend, for the pupils,
very important results. All o look
forward to the rich treat in store for
