(From The Silver State News.)
This morning j. A. and Adam Schell
came in from Goldbank, bringing the
dead bodies of ii. IL. Edwards and
o. A. Gillctt.
The two men had been camping at
Mud Springs, working mine about
five miles distant. Yesterday morning
Adam Schell, while driving in the
vicinity, discovered a morse, with
broken halter strap, which he at once
identified as belonging to the miners,
having visited their camp few days
previously to deliver a load of hay, at
which time he noticed their horses.
Mr.. Schell drove the horse back to the
spring, where he found the camp de-
serted. Mistrusting that something
might have gone wrong, he took up the
trail of the wagon, which he followed
for five miles, when he found it with
the other horse tied to one of the
wheels. From, the condition of tho
animal it was evident that he had been
standing there for some days, so Mr..
Schell at once started out to locate
the miners. Seeing a shaft near by,
he descended the ladder, and after 60
ing about forty feet, and within ten
feet of the bottom, saw the two men
lying dead. He hastily ascended and
went to Goldbanks for help. Returning 9
to the shaft, the relief party soou
brought the dead men up.
Upon the arrival of the Schell broth
ers, the bodies of the dead men were
at once removed to the undertaking
parlors of Alter & Alter. A telegram
was sent to Mrs. Gillett, at Chafey,

HOGS AND POTATOES.
Il Thirty-Two Dollar Hog Killed b!
a Ranch Owner.

1t is told of rancher who lives a
few miles from Richfieid that few
days ago fine hog weighing about
400 pounds broke out of the pen in
which he was confined and began
roofing up potatoes, when the ranch
er put him back in the pen and went
back to the house, but in a few min
utes the hog was again in the pota-
toes and the rancher becoming angry,
drove the hog once more to the pen
and told him if he got into that po-
tatoe patch again he would shoot
him The hog was very intelligent
looking animal but either could not
understand what he said or thought
he was joking and proceeded to break
out and go for that potato patch
patch again when the rancher pro-
ceeded to pick up a Winchester and
shoot, and on going out to the barn
in a short time the rancher found a
four hundred pound hog worth
cents a pourd lying under the barn
dead, with a bullet hole through his
body that you could have thrown a
hat through.

Big Opening.

w. L. Turner, manager Of the real
estate firm of R. HKipp & Co., has
just returned from two weeks trip
through southern Idaho and Montana
during which he attended the open
ing of the 5O.OOO-acre tract at sho-
shone, Idaho. under the Carey land
act.
There were 24OO people register
ed at this drawing" said Mr.. Turner,
filing on about 10000 acres of land,
people. coming from every state in
the Union. More people came from
Washington and Iowa than from any
other states, and the first choice of
land-No. SSS-was drawn by a
Washington man.
After the opening I made a trip
to the Big Wood river project. the
Richfeld tract and the Lost River
projects. The Big Wood river tract
comprises 10000 acres. The Rich
field project, on which water is now
available, presented a wonderful
change from few months ago, when
it was nothing but sagebrush. Hun
dreds of people are now living on the
land. Fruit of all kinds can be grown
in this district and the yields of al
falfa, clover and timothy, as well as
all kinds of grain, are remarkable.
I'm the Lost River project, Blaine
county, 100000 acres will soon be ir
rigated and offered for sale under
the Carey Act. This is sagebrush
land similar to that at Big Wood ri

Car of Machinery for Helean Bro.

Car of Machinery for Helean Bros.
Helean Bros. received a car of
grading machinery the first of the
week from Omaha, Nebraska, and the
same was unloaded and set up with
out delay. 1t consisted of a Stroud
machine which gathers dirt from the
plowed furrow and carries it on an
endless elevator and dumps it into re-
ceiving wagons which in turn are
self-dumping. The big machine can
be driven by steam engine but
where rock is found in the ground it
is much safer to employ teams for
the motive power. For this machine
twelve or fourteen horses or mules
will be used, one section hitched in
front to direct the course. With six
teen miles of main canal to build
during the present season, this COM
pany will need the latest and best
models of grading machinery as well
as a large force of men and teams
and they are losing no time in secur-
ing them.
