WHO FOUND GOLD?
New Eldorado in Clearwater Section
Discovered By Engineer Who Can
not Now Be Located.
DID NOT REALIZE VALUE
Somewhere in idaho County Lays Dor
mant a Gold Mine Of Vast
Richness.

Somewhere along the Clearwater
river in this county is a New Eldorado
which will. repeat the scenes of the
early sixties when gold was first dis
covered. The gentleman who is Civ
ing out the story recently made trip
to Boise and visited the land office in
the hope of being able to locate the
rich find which was discovered some
six years ago by member of an en-
ginering cxsw whose present where
abouts are unknown
His story is that while this engi-
neer was surveying in the vicinity of
the Clearwater and was waiting for
the right of way for his observations
to be made through some brush, he
absently knocked off beautiful
piece of quartz which was hanging
from high ledge of the same ma
terial The specimen, about the size
of his hand, glistened in the sun as
though filed with iron py~.tes or
hooi . SoiN' 1ic Si'cSihltI
in his pocket and thought no more
about it for somo time and then meet
ing a prospectcr.
The prospector Immediately recog
nized it as rich in real gold ard want
ed to go at once to the spot but the
engineer had other work in another
part of the state and could not leave
at that time, agreeing to go with him
later and point out the spot.
In the meantime the prospector was
where he could have the sample an
alyzed and it ran $1,000 to the ton in
gold and $4,000 in silver, the little sam
pie producing $40 worth of pure gold.
Since then the prospector has been
wild to find the engineer but has been
unable to get any track of him for a
year. He came to Boise and has sue
ceeded in finding six different surveys
the time the engineer was engaged in
that district in which he worked, but
it would take lifetime to cover the
ground of the six surveys without any
further hint as to the location. He is
still in hopes to find some trace of the
missing engineer and 60 with him to the
spot to find the hidden gold.

Says Not Solid for Taft.

In its forecast of the probable re.
suits of the Lewiston convention. the
Boise Statesman credits the Idaho
county delegation of eleven with being
in the Taft column. Some of the local
republicans with whom we have talked
deny this and say Idaho county will
send solid Roosevelt delegation. 1t
is the opinion of others that while the
delegates will be divided that Taft will
have the majority from county which
has over threefourths of its area tied
up in the forest reserve, the result of a
policy favored by Roosevelt.

Ranchers Have Trouble Over Stock
0lenwood Hunter Says Cougar
Kill Many Deer.

Lloyd McCarty, farmer living
about Ave mile from town up Lawyer .
canyon, was brought in to the justice
court Tuesday, charged with an at
tempt to kill Arthur Kitchen. 1t seems
AZ though the men got into a dispute
over stock, and from words they came
to blows, which ended by Mr.. McCarty
taking two shots at Mr.. Kitchen, but
being quite distance away the shot
scattered and did no harm. On being
brought into court by Marshal Free
man, the defendant waived examine
tion and was bound over to the district
court in the sum of five hundred dol
lars.
w. T. Clark, prominen lumber deal
er in Grangevile, was here on legal
business last Saturday. Mr.. Clark
made final proof some few months ago
on homestead in the Glenwood sec
tion and has recently sold the claim to
the Rawson- Works Lumber company.
Harry Wickham, engineer at the
Caribel sawmill, received very bad
hurt Saturday while working viii
logs. Becoming entangled with a log
on the hillside, it rolled completely over
him, almost tearing one ear of and
spraining his right arm. While the
sprain was painful, DR.. McMahan says
that the wound is not dangerous in any
manner.
1t may have been thoughtless on the
part of those who have been rolling
rocks into the TomyTa-H Ha canyon, but
they should be careful, as rocks going
down steep hill attain terrible We.
locity and may hiA some innocent per-
son, which would kill them instantly.
As near as we can learn, one day 'lsst
week p. |. Pierce came very near being
hit by one of these rocks, only escaping
by dodging into crevasse. Ii The party
so thoughtless should be punished as a
warning to others as well as them
selves.
J. G. Mathews, Of Glenwood, recent
| ly killed large female cougar, which
means saving the lives of a large num-
ber Of deer and other game, as it is es-
timated that cougar kills on an aver
age fifty-two deer each year, or one
every week. eff the animals would
stop at destroying this number, deer
would be plenty, but my experience has
been, - said Mr. Mathews, "that cou
gar is similar to a house cat after mice
and small game, killing every deer it
can get chance at, and l have found
three deer within a distance of half
mile that an old male cougar had slain;
one had been partly eaten, the other
two not touched at all. / killed this
cougar few hours after finding the
deer, it measuring 9 feet and ! inch.
] wish to say further that l have been
accused of killing deer out of season
and would like to invite an inspection
of my premises and if anything is
found that / am not entitled to, then
l am guilty.-Kamiah Progress.

sent up from Idaho county several
years ago for ten years, for pardon
was continued. Eagan, it will be re-
called, was the Swede sub-contractoi

a rancher's s daughter over near Cot
tonwod. The crime was the result OF
mad infatuation which Easan had
for the girl.

a 2O-round fight, on points. Langford
and McVeY fought in the stadium be-
fore $4,000 spectators and after a hard
contest in which honors were fairly

Langford succeeded in reversing his
defeat at McVey's hands on Dec. 20

OPPOSED USE OF THE FORK
For Many Years After its lntroduc.
ton It Was Considered IN Ab-
surd Affectation.

The Italians, with their delicate
good taste, we're responsible for the
substitution of forks for fingers, but
it is difficult to trace their use there
further back than the time CORE
spending to the reign Of Queen Eliza
beth, and then they not widely
known.
In some parts of Europe forks were
considered a useless luxury and sinful
indulgence and were for a long time
under a ban of the c%lerics, though
these latter eventually had to give
way and tolerate their use by those
who wished to keep their fingers
clean.
In Germany the ordinary people re-
garded the innovation an absurd az
fectation, while the clerics considered
them an insult to Providence. who
had given man wholesome food which
he ought not to be ashamed to touch
with his fingers. In courtly France.
however, forks were a welcome addt.
ton and speedily became popular.
The custom in England was Of very
slow growth. In the reign of James 1.
and Charles I. the fork was only par.
TALLY used, according to the writer's
of those periods. and even under the
commonwealth honors we're equally
divided between them and fingers.
Later on, at the Restoration, their
use became more general, but people
were by no means agreed on the best
method of handling them, and rules
were soon formulated for guidance, SO
that genteel persons could pride them.
selves on the nice conduct OF the fork
after the manner observed at court.
Yet 1t is difficult to overcome the
prejudices of old Customs. and the
satirists of the, day often amused
themselves describing the awkward.
ness Of their country cousins who. on
visiting town and using the tDstru.
ment for the' first time, thrust the
morsel they had transnxed over the
shoulder, while their fingers. from
force of habit, found their way into
their mouths.
