UNKNOWN MAN DEAD.
Body Found in Sagebrush Not Far
From Snake River.

statesman.
William Darcy, aone-armed sheep
herder working for Sanders & Bart
elson, in the southern part of the
county, arrived in the city about 80
yesterday afternoon and reported
to the police that the body of man
was found on a little knoll a few
miles this side of Snake river by
Martin Nelson, another sheepherder.
Arrangements were at once made to
send out party to bring in the re-
mains.
The location of the body is some
two and a half miles west Of the road
from Boise to Swan Falls, and about
six miles this side of the river.
There is nothing in the surround
ings to indicate how long the body
has lain in it's present position. If
there were any tracks leading to the
spot, they have been effaced. 1t is
considered possible the man may have
gone there while the snow was on the
ground and his tracks have gone with
the snow.

The Boise Statesman says that
news has been received from Thun
der Mountain of very important
discovery recently made there.
While details are lacking, the infor-
nation at hand is of the highest i'm
portance, both because of the pro-
portions of the ore body that has
been found and because of its dis
lance from the mines upon which the
work has been in progress during the
winter.
At point about ten miles from
the Dewey property mountain of
porphyry. similar tn that in the
Dewey claims, has been found, and
IL seems to carry about the same
values. This ore deposit stand up
300 feet above the surrounding
country. 1t is spoken of as a great
bluff. The porphry has fallen away
on both sides, making masses of
loose rock that are all ore.
The man sending out this news is
one of the most reliable that have
gone into the camp. He promises
details of the discovery at a later
time, his present statement psing
made on hearsav

account of a curious vine product
called the "lamb gourd," which runs
as follows: "In the neighborhood of

which closely resembles a lamb in all
its members. 1t changes place in grow

wheresoever it turns the grass withers
and dies. This change Of the gourd
plant the Muscovites call feeding
They further say that when it ripens
the stalk withers and that the out
ward rind of the gourd is then covered
with a sort Of wool. which they use
instead of fur"
Scaliger also makes mention Of the
lamb gourd and says that it grows I'm.

for want of nourishment He also says
that the wolf is the only animal that
will feed upon it.
