Prof. Mott, a school teacher
from Valparaiso, Ind. was in
Challis last week. We under
stand that Mr.. Mott is an appli-
can't for the principalship of the
Challis school He is an expert
enced teacher. and comes very
highly recommended.
Deputy State Organizer Corser
of the NJ. w. of A., and DR.. c. J.
Baugh, of Challis, went to Hons~
ton last week for the purpose of
organizing Camp at that place.
Mr.. Corser on his return expects
to organize Camp in Challis of at
least thirty charter members.
| From the outlook at present
the chances for the building of
the Midland road are not the
brightest. 1t appears that Bates
has asked for concessions that
the people of Boise have not seen
fit to grant. and the New York
representatives have gone home.
1t is our opinion that if the Mid
land people depend on Boise for
any assistance in launching their
enterprise the road will not be
built very sCon.-Caldwell News.
| Prof c. A. Maple, a Blackbird
gardner and mine owner. was out
from that district. AS the late
, frost killed all his garden sass.
the Professor will devote his at
tention to mining this summer
He has just found 10-foot ledge
of copper ore in his Blackbird
mine, and from samples of the
ore that be brought to this office,
they would indicate that the ores
go high in copper values, besides
a small per cent. in gold.
Work is being pushed at
the White Knob Copper Co.'S.
mines, and the company are now
grading for a new smelter, which
will be located at Supt. Darling
tons townsite across the river
from Houston. 1t seems almost
certain that Houston will be left
off the line of the new railroad a
short distance, and a town spring
up at Mr.. Darlington's place. 1t
is probably due to the untiring
work and influence of Supt. Dar-
!. lington as much as anything else
} that promoted the Short Line to
build into Custer county.
1t will be remembered that a
certain sensational article was
published in the Payette Inde-
pendent of Nov. 29th, 1900, and
copied in many of the State pap
: ers, relative to A. j. Laing and
his family being lured from their
home. in Paddock valley, by one
Carl o. Schodell, and how they
were lost in the mountains; told
i of the riches they would find in
a secluded nook far into the heart
of the mountains; and how they
left a good home TO make the
: journey. All of which Mr.. Laing,
who was in Challis last week,
denies as false and malicious.
He informs us that the article in
: question was written for 2 mali
cious intend, and that it is false
! in every particular.
Mr.. Laing and family are now
residents of Yellow Jacket. and
. appear in all respects. to be very
highly respectable people. He
) says when they left their home
in Paddock valley. they were not
''lured from home.r as the arti-
, Gle states, but went just where
: they intended going, and Mr..
, Laing says when they arrived at
their destination he was not
t found with a rope under his
! hat. The whole story. he says,
/ is fake dime. novel episode TO
bring disgrace upon him and his
! family and we take Measure in
