Bill Smith, foreman of the Bowl
ing ranch at Quinn river, and well
known pioneer of Humboldt county,
suffered a very distressing accident
at the Bowling ranch. In his fall his
leg was broken in a serious manner.
After the accident friends imme-
diately hooked up a team with the
intention of bringing the injured
man to Winnemucca, but when Will
low Point was reached the pain re-
sultant from the travelling was so
severe that the journey could not be
continue dand a telephone call was
sem to Winnemucca for a physician.

FAIRVIEW IS IN
The LIMELIGHT
GREAT ACTIVITY DISPLAYED AT
THE CAMP WITH GOOD
RESULTS
Cyclone


Phil Harnan reports a healty con-
dition of affairs at the eompany's
workings on the Cyclone. After
sinking to the 50-foot level in the
Stewart leasing shaft the vein was
crosscut and the same rich values in
gold quartz were repeatedly found.
They are new sinking in the shaft
again, and will crosscut again at the
75-foot level. The vein here is al
most vertical. A deep crosscut tun-
mel is now driving at this ledge from
the guleh, and sufficient depth will
be attained at its intersection with
the vein to explore it thoroughly.
Fairview Central
The main working tunnel of the
Fairview Central cut through two
feet of vein matter this week, and
while the values are not of import
ance the indications are good; there
is from four to six inches of tale on
each side of the quartz, which is a
very promising formation, and at a
depth may develop values. This week
400 feet of rack and a dump car were
freighted up to the works, a hercu'
lean task, when the location is con
sidered. Until the weather and the
snow will permit of surface work the
forces will be concentrated on driv'
ing the tunnel, and no prosecuting
or sinking will be attempted until thu
drifting has advanced much farther
when the work of honeycombing thu
lodges will be started in earnest.

MUNCHAUSEN IS
NOT IN HIS CLASS
A WEIRD FAIRY TALE COMES
FROM BELLINGHAM,
WASH.

The following article, clipped from
the Puget Sound American, of Bell
ington, Wash, proves to what length
a diseased mind may travel:
MINERS ARE DYING IN DROVES
AT ToNoPAH-Nevada Towns
Morgue Is Filled with Bodies of
Dead Men and Corpses Strew the
Dreary Streets-Famine Stalks in
Homes of Many-To Save Itself
from Freezing Rich Camp Uses
Partitions of Houses for Fuel
Coal Sells at $140 a Ton.
Intensely cold weather and lack
of nourishment are killing the miners
of Tonopah in droves. Every day
many bodies lie in the morgue and
corpses are strewn in the streets
which are deeply covered with
Famine stalks at the door Of every
poor man, and houses are half de-
stroyed to provide fuel.
Such is the statement of Arthur
Pence OF Bellingham, who has just
returned from the Nevada town to
this city. His was a narrowing ex-
perience and he considers himself
fortunate that he did not also fall
a victim to hunger, cold and sick
ness. Five weeks Pence remained in
the dreary place, and he says that
If he had stayed another day he
probably would have been a corpse.
when Pence arrived in Tonopah
thirty bodies filled the morgue and
continually additions to the dead
house were made. AS soon as the
men died, provided he was in a sa-
loon, he was cast unceremoniously
into the street, and if it CHANGED &c
be showing his body was covered a
foot or two before it was removed
Pence relates that one body had tt
be dug out only a few hours aftel
it had been cast away.
"In one saloon a man rushed il
and called for a drink. AS the bar
tender handed it to him he fell
Pence examined him and remarked
that he guesses he was dead.
Throw him out commanded tn,
bartender.
Not T. returned Pence.
'sWhereupon the drink mixer too

him into the street. Another ma

Club Fayors business Mem.

The Eastern Idaho Press Club is
selling a book of their own prepare
ton, and has arranged for the three
months ending March First to let
any business men but editors have
copies at a special price of $3.50
each. The book has been selling at
1--WE dollars, and many editors and
attorneys have taken them at that
price, but they have limited num-
Der left and in order to raise the ball
ance of the cost of compiling and
printing them, they make this cut for
ninety days.
The book, or pamphlet, contains
all the laws pertaining to newspaper
printing and legal publications, that
are now effective in Idaho, and is
of great value to city clerks, officers
OF canal corporations. school boards
etc. There are many laws in effect
that were made for the protection of
the public, which people are ignor-
antof, and in many cases village
clerks and clerk of school boards are
doing what they suppose to be their
who'll duty, but at the same time
are liable on their bonds proceeding
for neglecting something that has
not been brot to their attention. The
Press Club employed one of the best
attorneys in the state to compile this
work, and this affords a good oppor-
tunity to get 1t for $3.50. Orders
should be sent to j. w. Jones of
Rigby, Idaho.

sthat an effort is being made to In
duce Governor Gooding to call an ex-
ira session OF the Legislature, for the
purpose OF passing a law extending
the time for taxes TO become delin-

RESOLVED. by the members of

we are unalterably opposed to call
ling an extra session of the legisla-
ture for the purpose OF passing law
post poning the date whereby taxes
become delinquent.
We do not believe the condition
OF affairs in Idaho at this time war
rant anything OF this nature. We
know that Idaho Is la a prosperous
condition and we oppose anything
having a tendency to create a false
impression.
