Work has progressed rapidly on the

report today at the railroad Office that
there will be a train here from Kendrick
tomorrow. The gaps will be all closed
today between here and the big bridge
over Bear creek.
The reconstruction work has been done
in three divisions. One force Of men
worked from Potlatch TO Juliaetta, an.
other from Juliaetta to Kendrick, and the
third IRON Kendrick to Vollmer. The
first two divisions will complete their
work today, and on the third division
nothing remains to be done excepl to
complete the work on the big bridge or
Bear creek. The contractors say thai
they can haye the bridge ready to eros:
by Monday night. Agent Hooper how
ever gives them till Thursday to have the
regular service Teinstated.
Rumors that the train service woult
begin with transfer service at the bridg,
are hardly to be credited, as the bridg,
with approaches is over 100 feet long an,
located at point where transfer is almos
impossible. But with no delays the roa,
will be operating on regular schedule b,

The Elk City Strike.

A very rich free gold quarts strike is
reported from Elk city. 1t is claimed
that Ira I.amoreaux has struck fourteen
inch ledge OIL the Depoait claim on
American river two miles from Elk city.
1t is estimated that one ton ofore now on
the dump will yield 100000 or $50 a
pound.
1t is estimated that a man with hand
mortar can extract $Iooo day from this
ore. These figures are very large. The
mining man who knows nothing Of the
conditions prevailing III this camp will
think this story is incredulous. How
ever when it is known that hundreds of
pieces of float have been found in this
locality in past years that were as rich as
the ton of assorted ore reported to be OH
this dump, this story will not appear to
be improbable. This is. just such ledge
as the prospectors in that region have
dreamed Of for quarter of a century.

whereby the order made October 10, 1897,
stopping the payment Of ihteres' on the
bonds, was revoke II was further or
dered that the treasurer of Shoshone
county should continue to forward money
to the American Exchange bank in New

said bonds as they mature. This settles
the vexed question of reputation in

Clearwater has not been frozen over since

Another pioneer Is reported to have
said snow fell to the depth Of is inches

signal service reports no snowfall ON that
date and no snowfall for the year Of over

This mythology that is dated within

is musty with age will go down with the
tenderfoot element Of our community,
but a quarter of a century even is not long
enough to supply the mold that obli,er-

should not be refuted by this fresh myth

sawmill and a 10 stamp quartz mill stored
in the houses that were destroyed, beside
other machinery, tools and supplies, and
200 pounds of giant powder, which ex-
ploded with terrific report. The fire
was caused by a defective stove setting
fire to the floor.
The loss is quite serious, occurring at

BILE to get supplies in. and it was the in

Pearley Martin, the nineteen.y .year.old
son of A. NJ. Martin Of Couse Greek on
Snake river n miles above Lewiston,
accidentally shot and killed himself
about 10 O'Clock Thursday morning.
The Martin home is near the conse
creek warehouse on the bank OF the river.
A fiock Of ducks was noticed Ia the river
near the opposite bank and Young
Martin took shot gun and went across
in skiff to try to kill some Of them.
He promised to return In a few minutes
to assist his father in some work on the
farm. The elder Martin proceeded with
work which was back from the river in
the orchard and not at point from
which the ducks could be seen. He
heard the report Of the gun In due time
and supposed the young man had fired
at the ducks. He worked on till noon
wondering why the young did not Join
him. He was surprised to learn upon
returning to the house that Pearl~y had
not returned after shooting at the ducks.
Observation revealed that the skin liz
which the young man crossed the river
was still beached at the landing on the
opposite side Of the river.
The continued absence and the cir
cunstanees Of the boat being left alone
so long caused uneasiness and The father
proceeded half mile down the river 10
a point opposite the Warren farm and
hallooed across the river. His neighbor
could afford no clue TO the whereabouts
Of the young man. A boat was secured
and search instituted.
/ At the boat landing where the skiff'
was beached the body Of young Martin
was found. He was stark In death. A full
charge Of shot had entered his breast
just to the left Of the right nipple. Death
must have been instant. He was lying
upon his back. lie had evidently pulled
the gun muzzle first in such way that

The African Situation More Serious
for the British than
ever Before.
TRAPPED FOR THE THIRD TIME.
Vaai krantI was Held for One Day in q
Hall Of Lead from Three Sides,
and then Abandoned.

General Butler crossed the Tugela river
last Monday and began a march to relieve
the beleagured garrison at Ladysmith.
He drove the Beers from different posi-,
tions just as Warren proceeded to Spion-
kop two weeks ago. He gained Vasl
krantz, an eminence which was supposed
to command the surrounding district. He
was confronted by defenses and forces
which he would not assault. The COM
mand was held to await reinforcements
and heavy artillery from the rear. The
meager reports convey the impression
that it was not practicable to convey the
guns to the new position. A retreat was
ordered, and the latest report is that
Butler is back at his old post south of the
Tugela river. The opinion is expressed
that Vaal Krantz was trap not unlike
Spionkop, in which the English soldiers
were exposed to a fire from positions that
were impregnable and out of range of the
English guns.
The British had advanced OH Other po-
sitions simultaneously with General
Butler. The general news indicates that
they have all fallen back. There is there
fore no progress to be reported. The Eng
lish are supposed to have suffered heavy
losses at Vaal Krantz. Generals Methuen
and Warren assailed from fortified posi-
tions, and they too must have suffered
some loss. No definite report of casualties
has been furnished the news gatherers
The English are reported to have been
dumbfounded when the report of this
latest repulse was made public. An at
tempt is made by the English writers al
home to outline a wise generalship il
which the late advance and retreat are {
part of wise system of war tactics
inaugurated by Butler and Roberts. bu
the English people are overwhelmed
with grief at the news of the reverses.
The English war Office gave out tn,
news of the retreat and refused TO revea
further particulars or any plans for thu
| future
