Mr.. G. l.. Hathaway, a prominent
mining man of Denver, has purchased
mining property at the head of
Grouse creek, a Secesh tributary, of
John Glare. The purchase price is
reported to be $25, 900. The SIGNAL
man was up that way three years
ago and had the following note of
Johns work
On the head of Grouse creek John
Clare has some interesting placer pro-
perty. There is not a sign of wash
gravel. but between granite walls 10 and
20 feet high and feet apart is bed OF
soft ruby slate, fine pieces OF quartz
which pay from grass roots to bedrock.
Above the point of operation it continues
up the mountain side and below it pitches
off deeper and wider. Water Is scarce
but Jack has been able to pipe six weeks
each spring for the last three years. This
season he took out $500 in 20 days and
last year took out $500 in % days. Some
of the small pieces of quartz sprinklec
through the mass are two thirds gold
He has two claims-''Grouse Creek" ant

weiser. Idaho.

W. HI. McGrew of Good Thunder,
Minnesota, who visited Idaho about
a month ago with Mr.. Jas. Mountain
of the same place, furnished the fol-
lowing to the local paper in regard
to Weiser and Washington County ::
Weiser is situated 30 miles west of
Parma, on the o. s. Il. Ry. and the
Pacific & Idaho Northern Ry. starts
from here and is built and operated to
Council, a distance of 60 miles. II is to
be extended this summer to the mining
camp at the Seven Devils. 1t is located
at the confluence Of the Snake and Weiser
rivers.
OThe village of Weiser has population
of 1000 and has been built up within the
past seven years, the buildings being
new and substantially constructed. A
great number of industries are located ut
this point, among which are large
fruit evaporation. creamery, ice plant
Touring mill, also brewerics and large
smelter is under way Of construction,
which will be in operation by Sept. lst.
Their facilities for education are equal to
those found in any state lin the union.
AT Weiser they employ nine teachers,
the principal receiving. n salary OF $1,000
for 8 months school, and the other
teachers receiving from $75 to $50 pei
month, nothing but Normal graduates
| are employed and they subjected to q
strict examination. A lady from Man
kato, Miss Wyatt, is one of the teachers,
and is highly spoken of. This is also the
home of DR.. E. J. Davis. formerly o.
Mankato, who with his son Edwards is en-
gagged in the drug trade and doing tint
business. The assessed valuation o
Washington county. based on an assess
ment of from % to 40 per cent OF its tru
value, is $949l, 653, on which a levy o
"a mills on the dollar is made. $3.50. OO'
of this is assessed against the city o
Weiser The total Indebtedness Of thu
county is only 1856 600, which will b
paid on Jan. lst, 1902.
Washington county also has persona
property valuation of 81, OBJ, 337
In Mr.. McGrews travels he failed t.
find IL place where the business activit.
and prospects for advancement compare
with this locality. 1t is rare chanc
for investment, with surety of larg
returns, and that some of the most er
thusiastic citizens are looking forward d
no distant day. to the location of Stat
Capitol on account of its superior raj
road advantages.
Mr.. McGrew refers to Weise
as being thirty i've miles west G
Parma, because there is colony c
Minnesotans living at Roswell an
this hamlet is their trading place.

The Punishment Of Crime il the Philippines

Considering the large number OF
troops that were. first and last en-
gagged in active service in the Philip
pines the general record for behavior
has been wonderfully good. There have
been comparatively few grave offences
committed by soldiers. and these the
authorities have dealt with promptly
and sternly.
Probably the most notorious criminal
who has yet found his way from this
country 10 the Philippines was George
A. Raymond. formerly private In
the forty-first volunteer infantry,
who was recently tried by military
commission at Manila on a triple
charge of murder assault and robbery.
and sentenced TO be hanged. The re-
cords in this case of unusual depravity
have just been received at the war de
partment.
Upon the muster out of the forty first
Raymond Went to the Province Of
Pampanga and endeavored to organize
band of outlaws among his eX-com-
rades. On May while riding along Il
road near San Jose with Henry Bonn.
who also had been private in the
forty-first infantry, Raymond treach-
erously turned on his companion and
killed him with his revolver and then
emptied the dead mans pockets. Two
