part In the development OF Idaho
These mines are 800 miles nearer
Butte and Montana common points
than any coal ana their Importance
can easily be appreciated. There arc
no difficulties TO overcome In building

coming year will probably see its com
pletion. Surveys We're completed last

the Griffith mine, Little mine and Ha-
den mine. four 20 six veins each, OF
good width, all on Horseshoe creek,
In the mountains east of Rigby, and
south OF the Teton Basin deposits, are
several known veins OF large dimen-
sions, ana Of good quality which are
undcveloped because Of lack Of trans.

extent is unknown.
Idaho is particularly short Of coal
deposits Up to within five years ago
no deposits had been discovered Since
then a small vein at Orofno I'm the

neau, Gilmore county. and another on
Rock Creek, Cassia county in addition
to the discoveries I'm Fremont county,

.Munroe rather than accede to their
terms closed the plant down for two
days, At the end Of that time most OF
the men We're glad TO return, but tho
leaders who started the dissatisfaction
were summary turned down The men
are working on the same scale Of wages
as that which obtains at all three OF
the Idaho plants, and the strike looks
to have been simply blur to force
the company into paying a higher scale.
About Is men went out, but most OF
them are now back again, and the fac
tory rs again running smoothly.
Reports say that over 10000 tons OF

1000 acres were planted TO beets here

FRAUD ENTRY FEES.
Persons fauduleutly seeking to en-
;Cr land under the timber and stone act
cannot recover the money deposited
by them il their entries be rejected
because of such fraud. This has been
definitely decided by the department
in some cases that arose i'm the land
office here. Commissioner Richards OF
the general land Office has Just az
lilmed a decision of Receiver L.. e..
Garrett ON the subject which marks a
closing chapter In a long fight made
through the local land office against a
number of timber frauds attempted in
the Boise district
Harvey II. Wells Of Centeryille,
whose timber entry was recently can
celed because OF fraud, had deposited
with Receiver Garrett the sum OF $ll0
To cover the purchase price Of the
land, and after rejection of his entry
for false swearing he applied for the
return Of such deposit. This applica-
tion for repayment was denied by the
receiver ON the ground that the money
was forfeited to the government under
the timber and stone act because the
applicant had committed fraud and
perjury.

thing about Edgley's inability to put
him out, to which the officer replied by
informing him that next time he was
caught IN there he would not ask him
TO so out, but would eject him.
The next morning (Monday) Edgley
noticed the fellow following him about.
aud upon coming out of the Pacific ho-
tel, turned suddenly and asked him
what he was following him for The
fellow replied "l'll show you" ana
reached his hand down under his vest
but the officer was too quick for him.

he dropped his man and Immediately
bounced upon him, at the same time
covering him with his gun
He then reached under the fellows

station the fellow showed fight, and IL
became necessary for the officer to use
