600 this year. That will be big
raise from 5000, 900 last year.
Chas. Haney returned last
Thursday from Thunder noun
tain and on the following day de-
parted for Mackay. He is not
entirely discouraged. but says he
intends returning to Thunder.
Attorney w. J. Lamme and
Assessor Johnson departed last
Wednesday on a business trip to
Stanley Basin. We understand
that Mr.. Lamme is a prominent
candidate on the democratic
ticket of Custer county for the
Office of County Attorney.
From all reports Stanley Basin
is the scene of much mining ac-
tivity this season. A number of
rich gold quartz discoveries have
been made within the past few
weeks, and the camp is receiving
an influx of people who have be-
come disgusted with the Thunder
mountain boom. The hills in
the vicinity of Stanley are alive
with prospectors, and many
capitalists are in the camp bond
ing and securing options on the
various mines.
A Challis lady answered an
advertisement of a New York
firm the other day, Offering, for

got
Remove the freckles with
putty knife, soak them in salt
water over night, then hang
them up in a smoke-house, in a
good strong smoke made of saw
dust and slippery-elm bark. for
about week. Freckles thus
treated never fail to be thorough
ly cured"
Governor Hunt and Attorney
General Martin are the two most
prominent candidates for the
Office of Governor of Idaho, thus
far slated on the democratic
ticket. Martin is what is known
as a Steunenberg candidate. Mr..
Hunt will undoubtedly receive
the hearty support of all labor
organizations for his action in
abolishing martial law in the
Ceur d'Alenes, while ex Cover
nor Steunenberg was the father
of martial law and the infamous
permit system" in northern
Idaho.
The Challis gymnasium and
reading room will in a few days
be in shape to receive its neces-
sary equipment, despite the fact
that the heavy wind the other
day blew great deal of the
building paper off the walls. A
new floor has been laid. and the
building now presents very fine
interior appearance, The gym
nasium appliances are to be up
to-date, as the latest ping pong
will be introduced, besides num-
erous other games, such as bask-
ct ball, floor croquet, horizontal
bars. All of which will be free
to the public, but the rules and
