ANOTHER COAL STRIKE
Hi Henry Discovers Big Vein
of Bituminous Coal.

Word was received here last week
of the strike of a big new vein of
coal in Hi Henry's mine near Horse
shoe Bend. The new discovery is
reported TO be high grade quality
of bituminous coal, which can be
mined at very little cost.
Mr.. Henry has decided to now de-
velop his coal claims as rapidly as
possible and has engaged 20 ex-
perienced miners from the Wyoming
fields to carry on the work.
By the closing of contract with
a Salt Lake factory for 40 horse
power traction engine and four steel
cars with capacity of 10 tons each,
he is preparing to store the product
of his mine at Emmett during the
summer season. He estimates that
with this outfit he can deliver here
an average of 40 tons day during
the dry season at less expense than
the coal shipped from Wyoming.

McGreevy Case Reversed.

The supreme court on Friday re-
versed the judgment of the Canyon
county district court in sentensing
j. II. McGreevy to the penitentiary
for three years for killing Grant
Whitney. The court in reversing
the decision of Judge Bryan, orders
the case remanded to the district
court with direction to the trial
court to sustain the motion to quash
and set aside the information. This
the court states will not prevent the
prosecutor from filing an informa-
ton for manslaughter if he feels
that the evidence will justify a trial
on that charge.

R. R. ENGINEERS HERE
Refuse to Tell for Whom
They are Working.

Six railroad engineers and survey
ors came oe Wednesday afternoon s
train from Boise and have secured
rooms at the Russell for an indefi-
mite period. Rooms have also been
leased for six others who will arrive
in day or two.
Aside from admitting that they
are members of railroad survey
ing crew, they are as close mouthed
as clam. The men are all strang-
ers here. On the hotel register two
of them give their address as Mis-
soula, Montana, one is from Chicago,
one from Duluth, one from Wyom-
ing and the other from Minnesota.
They are well equipped with instru-
ments and baggage.
1t is generally believed they are
here in the interest of the Pittsburg
& Gilmore road, which is building
IN the Salmon country, For several
weeks there have been rumors that
this company would begin activities
in the Payette valley early this year.
During last summer d survey was
made by the P. & G. from Salmon
to a connection with the Dewey road
at Smiths Ferry. At that time, a
deal for the acquisition of the Idaho
Northern was being negotiated by
the P. & G. The deal fell through,
however. If the engineering crew
now here represents this road, it is
probable they intend to acquire a
right of way of their own.
