SO miles from Blackfoot. From
New Arco to Mackey it is 80
miles, and the railroad company
are under contract to have their
road completed to this point by
the 1st of next month. From
Mackey to Salisbury, on Salmon
river, it is SO miles. From Sails
bury, it is believed that one
branch of the road will be ex-
tended up Salmon river as far as
Clayton. to tap this great lead
silver belt. and the other branch
will follow down the river to
Salmon City and on to Lewiston,
or out to Blackbird over the
Morgan creek route, and thence
on to Lewiston. If the road is
ever built to northern Idaho as
proposed, this will be the main
line, without doubt.
We learn that Mr.. Hansen, the
proprietor OF the B. H. & C.
Stage company, has made ar
rangements with the railroad
people to haul the mail. pas
sengers, express and freight to
New Arco. and yesterday the
trains were to begin running
to this point under the agree
ment. This will be a great re
lief to the public, for now we
can cross this dreary desert in
a palace car in two hours or less.
instead of riding for II hours in
an old stage coach ever a rough
wagon road. As it is Mr.. Han
sen can now transfer his extra
stock and wagons used on that
end of the stage line to this end,
and thereby run a first-class line
from the railroad to Challis.

TALKS ABOUT THE MIDLAND.

Ex- Governor Steunenberg who
spent nearly three weeks in this
and Lemhi county, talks to the
Evening Capital News upon the
Midland railroad situation as fol-
lows
Everywhere | went in the
Salmon river valley" he said,
1.-The people asked about the pro-
gress made toward building the
Midland railroad. 1--WE don't
object to the Oregon Short Line
coming" they said. but we want
the Midland. 1t is undoubtedly
the road the people of Central
Idaho want, and if anybody in
Boise thinks the Salmon river
valley will not be satisfied with
the prospect of the Short Line
coming through there, and wants
to give up the Midland enter
prise, he is cherishing a mistak
en- idea. The people there are
not opposing the Short Line,
they will even welcome it, but
they throw their hats in the air
for the Midland"
Governor Steunenberg stated
that this was his first through
trip over the Salmon river val
ley, and he was surprised with
its extent, as well as its wonder
ful natural resources. From
Sawtooth to Gibbonsville it is
watered abundantly with beauti-
full rivers and smaller streams,
and there is a vast area of the
finest agricultural, hay and graz
ing land, upon which the con
struction of the Midland railroad
would put ten settlers where
there is one now, and make it all
tributary to the city of Boise
and southern Idaho. Until there
are railroad facilities, little more
development or population can
be exdected than is now there.
Only one man, a mine watchman,
now resides in the once thriving
towns of Sawtooth and Vienna.
The climate, the governor stat
ed, is apparently similar to that
of Boise and the Snake river val
ley, although the altitude is fully
1000 feet higher. Numerous hot
springs and other attractions for
tourists. would make the region
the great summer resort of this
section, were there adequate
transportation facilities. Il
cannot see," concluded tho gov
ernor, "why the Salmon river
valley. with the Idaho Midland
built through it, should not be
as thickly populated as Bear
Lake county.
1.-The governor stated that the
Clayton smelter is running full
blast, and the road was lined
with teams hauling ore to it.
This little smelter, 100 miles
from the railroad, is one of the
busiest in the west, and its out
gut for several years past has
been very large. p"

TEXAS OIL FORTUNES.
j. N. Page Paid Less Than 800 for
Land He Sold for S665 900.
From the New York Times.

Austin, Tex, May 25.-Of the many for
tunes that have been made in the Beau
mont oil fields, none IS so remarkable as
that which has come to ]. N Page, who
has lived for many years in the little
town OF Georgetown, twenty miles north
of Austin.
Mr. Page has been a hard working man
all his life. He is now of middle age,
and has a wife and several children.
About two years ago an acquaintance OF
Mr.. Page wrote to him informing him
that he owned a tract of fifteen acres of
land situated about four miles south of
Beaumont, which he desired to sell, as
he needed money. Mr.. Page had a few
hundred dollars saved, and he bought the
land. paying 'less than $500 for the whole
tract. He gave little further thought to
his purchase, having determined to hold
the land for his children.
When the great Lucas gusher was
brought in Mr.. Page began receiving Of
fers for his land. He went to Beaumont
and found that the tract was on Spindle
top Heights, in the very heart of the
proven oil district. Later developments
have proved conclusiveiy that there is
oil under every foot of the land. as It is
now almost surrounded by flowing oil
wells. Land values went up with light
ming rapidity, and still Mr.. Page declined
iii ten days ago. when he sold one acre
for $4,000. Yesterday he sold the remain
ing fourteen acres of the tract for 5000, 900,
which sum was paid to him in actual
cash.
There is probably no other instance
where an original investment of less than
$500 yielded $685., goo in less than two years
The purchaser of the fourteen acres is a
syndicate in which ex-Gov. Hogg is large
ly interested. Mr.. Hogg says that 1t is
the intention of the syndicate to put down
a number of wells on the land and TO
build and operate great system of pipe
lines. which will probably include Dallas.
Galveston, Austin, Houston. and other
cities of the state in its notifications. 1t
is also the intention of the syndicate to
pipe the oil to the new Birmingham iron
field and use 1t in the smelling of iron
ore.
MIR. Page returned to his home at
Georgetown to-day, and received a warm
welcome from his fellow-ctizens. He has
not formed his plans for the future. but
says he has gone through enough of the
hard realities of life to appreciate the good
things which money can bring, and has
no intention of throwing any of it away

TO GUST THE CENTRAL.

Macon News: According TO a resolution
adopted by the Mayor and Council last
night. the city OF Macon will not expert
ence the slightest trouble in delivering to
the Macon, Dublin and Savannah Rail-
read the property granted TO that rail-
road few weeks ago fer terminal facili-
ties. The city attorney stated to the News
when the Central Railroad filed a pro-
test against this action that the Central
Railroad had no claim IN the world on
this property and that the city Of Ma
con would not have the slightest trouble
in making the delivery to the Macon,
Dublin and Savannah Railroad. The res
olutions adopted by the Mayor and Coun-
ell last night are In harmony with the
opinion OF City Attorney Minter wimber-
~, and there seems 70 be no mistake
about the facts that are set out in these
resolutions. The opinion of the city at
torney was broad and fun, and all the
main points IN the controversy appear TO
be covered in that opinion. The property
IN dispute. and which the city has in
cluded IN it's grant OF terminals TO the
Macon. Dublin and Savannah ihcludes the
old Macon and savaDnah and Macon and
Oovington rights OF way. The resolutions
adopted by the Council declare that the
Central never had any right or title to
me Macon and Augusta right Of way,
and long since abandoned As 20 the Ma
con and Covington right OF way II is as
serted thet this company never complied
IN any particular with the conditions upon
which the right Of way was granted and
that Il has entirely abandoned the use Of
the property for railroad purposes. A
warm legal contest is IN prospe.t.

A few months ago, says La Nature, Mr..
H. Benest, an English geographer, pub
lished an interesting study of streams of
fresh water flowing beneath the surface
Of the sea.
Disaster to ocean telegraph cables first
called attention to this subject. On sew
eral occasions, about 1885, a new and
well-made cable between Cape Verde and
Brazil broke. Soundings were made to
discover whether these breakings were
due to the state of the sea bottom. and
it was found that the place in question
was near the submarine mouth of
subterranean river; the ailuvial material
transported by the fresh-water stream en-
countered the cable and finally succeeded
in breaking 1t.

FLORIDA's DIsPENsARY BILL.

Editorial Correspondence Gainesville
Sum Now for little history of this dis
pensary bill: When the Legislature first
convened 1t was whispered around that
Hon. W. X Zewadski of Marion would
introduce such a bill. He did not do so in
time, however. TO suit certain members
of the diplomatic corps" who were be-
ing pressed for overdue board bills, and
he was so constantly beseiged by this
class with inquiries as to when it would
grace the journal and calendar of the
House that he grew suspicious of their
interest in the matter and quietly placed
the unborn creature in the bottom of his
trunk, where 1t remains to this day. So
chagrined were the diplomatic corps"
and so hard-pressed were they for bills
past due, that it was really pitiful sight
to gaze upon them as they wandered up
and down the corridors of the stately old
capitol. But something had to be done,
and since Zewadski had too much respect
for himself to allow his name to be placed
over the bill he had drawn after he dis
covered that it was to be utilized a
means of pulling the legs" of the sa-
loon men, the corps" decided to get up
a bill OF their own. Accordingly they
repaired to the Supreme Court library
and copied the bill which has caused so
much talk / believe that Mr.. Wall in
troduced IL IN good talth, but those VINO
copied 1t and gave it to him never had
the slightest idea that 1t would pass be-
yond its second reading. 1t was gotten
up for no other purpose than to fleece
the saloon men, and the instigators Of
the scheme are at loss to know why
the measure failed to accomplish its pur-
pose for it is safe to say that II money
was finally spent to kill the bill the or
iginators of the measure never got their
hands upon any of it, Can any one be
blamed for refusing to support such a d.
abolical plot or rob business men, and

barn was a lot of feed stuff. improved
machinery fertilizers, six mules and be-
tween forty and sixty fine blooded mich
cows and heifers. Five of the mules were
burned. while the other one was so badly
injured that it will die. Thirty-two OF the
fine blooded cows and heifers were burn
ed. The barn and other contents was en-
tirely consumed. Insurance, $500 on barn.
Loss between 5000 and $1,000. The dairy
man and his assistant were in the barn
at and u o'clock and saw no sign of
fire. Unless it started from spontaneous
combustion. it was evidently the work of
