The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1907-08-01

MIR. and Mrs. J. +. Boss, Of the
Junction, are registered today at the
| Sheno, House. Mr.. Boss says condi-
lions are much better at the juno
ton than 1t was a year ago, but the
backward summer has greatly re-
tarded all kinds OF work as well as
mining.
Since Mrs. Carr has disposed OF her
residence property she expects to
leave next week for Moscow, where
they expect TO make their future
home. Their object in going to Mos
COW is to give their children the ben
eiits Of higher education. The Carr
family are most desirable citizens
and have many frien1s here who very
much regret to see them leave.
Mrs. James Simms has been very
sick woman for the past ten days and
at times her life has been desparied
Of Last evening 1t was thought
that she could not live until mid.
night, but during the night she took
change fer the better, and this
morning there are some hopes for her
recovery. II Is earnestly hoped that
the improvement may be permanent
and that she may be spared to her
family.
Assessor Waters returned from pro-
fessional business In the Gilmore
country the last OF the week. He
seems to be convinced that the Gil
more mine Is surely wonderful
property. In fact he thinks 1t Is
the most valuable property In the
state OF Idaho. They have galena
ore In exhaustable quantities, and
the only trouble the management
have Is to get transportation. for
their ore to the market for all they
are running traction engines which
run night and day. The ordinary
mind can hardly comprehend the out
put from this mine when the rail-
road taps that country.
The writer made trip to Lees
burg the first of the week. We be-
lieve we are safe In saying that In
mineral wav that place will be heard
from again. The time will never
come, perhaps, when 1t will expert
ence the boom it enjoyed In the days
of the best placer mining, but there
Is bound to he lots of gold taken out
of the quartz mines; and that In the
near future. There are some splen.
did mines in the camp, which will
be large producers, all they lack is
to be developed. In the next few
weeks we will have more to say about
the Leesburg of the past and the
} possibilities of the Leeshurg Of the
future.

Most OF the readers will no doubt
be equally pleased with the editor
that the Haywood case has been de-
cided. This has been a very import.
ant case in which most Of the people
bave been greatly interested. While
The Recorder has been unable to
give all OF the evidence and all of the
proceedings of the trial, yet the gen.
eral reader was able to draw an un.
biased opinion as to the merits Of the
case, and to uphold the findings of
the jury. No one can sainsay the
fact that the jury did not give their
decision in accordance with the evil
dence. The people of Idaho are now
convinced that man can have a fair
trial in our courts. regardless OF the
prejudices which may exist against
the accused. We, as people, have
more reason than ever to feel prou
