Hon. John c. Fox and Henry
Sturkey and William Fl. Fellxner re-
turned from Mackay Friday where
they have been for several days in

Grabbing white fish, says the
HALEY News-Miner, is one of the
greatest of sports these days. Over a
thousand were taken by this device
last Sunday from what is known as
the "old swimming hole" just below
Boards sawmill. The game law does
not protect this branch of the 6nny
tribe, consequently the wholesale
slaughter.
The Idaho Magazine is 'he name
of new monthly magazine started
this month at Boise City. 1t is very
creditable publication, and is devoted
mostly to Idaho matters, and If kept
up to it's present high standard will be
of untold benefit to the wonderful re-
view of the resources of the State. 1t
contains about so pages of matter, and
is written by an able corps of con-
tributors.
When P. t. Barnum said that the
American people like to be humbugged
he made one exception to the general
rule-the newspaper fraternity. OF
this class he said "If you have $lo
to put to good use, spend 81 for the
article and so for advertising it. 1 can
can out-talk any man but a printer.
The man who can stick type and the
next morning talk to thousand
people while am talking to one is the
man 1 am afraid of, and 1 want to be
his friend"
The President is too strenuous as
harmonizer of party differences. He
summoned Senator Platt and Governor
Odell of New York to dine at the White
House, that they might settle theil
quarrel over the leadership in Their
state. Since the meeting, the follow
ers of the Senator and Governor have
been more bitter than ever in the dis
pute as to who received the PresidentI
support. The incident recalls the at
tempts of the President to bring abou
harmony between the republican fac
tions in Maryland, just before the las
election.

E Word was received of new an
e rich discovery of quartz made nea
e the bridge across Salmon river on thf
= side of Clayton last week, by Johuni
} Smith. Float was found five years ag
! in this vicinity that gave as high q
! 5000 per ton in silver, besides carryin
t high per cent in lead and coppe
3 values. But the float could not
e traced TO any ledge, although it ha
t been sought for at various times sine
: without success. 1t was not until las

f lieved to be the same ore body fro
