Thieo years ago a prospecting party
consisting of Georpo Bernard. Hal
Smith , Barney Meicps , Sam Roney ,
George Wlnp and Bill Camp
bell , started from Botse City , Idaho , and
disappeared in the fastnesses of the
Sawtooth range. They took with them
an expensive outfit. Including twelve
pack mules , and as Wine and Meipgs
were expert miners and mineralogists
thev expected to make f > ome great find's.
They were never beard from after
they entered the mountains , nnd their
friends felt sure they had met their fate
in the deep canyons of the forbidden
range of snacey peaks. The belief that
"
they had till "died was .strengthened
when a party of prospectors found the
skeletons of four of the pack-mules be
neath the debris which hod been swept
into a gulch by a bip snowslide.
Last wpel : the six men returne3 to
Boise City loaded with fur ? and about
12,000 in' gold , -which they washed out
of gravel buds that once formed the
bottom of n deep river. The men say
they have located many claims of
marvelous richness. Daring the entire
three years the men saw no hu
man faces save those of the members
of their own party. Neither had they
read a newspaper. So far as the affairs
of the outside world were concerned ,
their minds were complete blanks.
They lived upon bread made from corn

1 lit-.Mormon * In Itlnho.
An important decision has been ren
dered by Judge Stockslager of the
Kourlh district court of Idado involv
ing the constitutionality ol the left oath
pasf-ed by tne state legislature. A case
was brought by a Mormon whom a reg
istrar in Cassia county refused to regis
ter because he refused to subscribe to
the test oath. The constitution provides
that no one belonging loan organization
thnt teaches or encourages polygamy
shall exercise the frtinchit-e. Under
this clause the legislature at its wssion
provided a test oath , one of the features
of xvhich is that an elector must swear
tbat he has not since January , ISsS , be
longed to an organization which teaches
or encourages polygamy , etc.
Since the Mormon church renounced
polygamy its > members have been quali
fied"to subscribe to constitutional pro
visions , but they cannot take the legi-
latire test oath. Judge Stockslager
holds that this fact abridges the right
gaaranteed by the constitution : that it
is retroactive export facto , and there
fore void. A similar case will be heard
by the supreme court during the pres
ent \veelc. If that body rules as Judge
Stocks-lager has done , it will increase
the vote of Idaho some 25,000 , and intro
duce a new element into the election
the political complexion of which can
not be accurately determined.
An Old aiimKrdUri
In 1S5S A , J. Maltby , who for many
years has lived at "Woody , opened a gold
mine lyingin the ridge between White
river and Raggulch , in Kern county ,
California , and froia it extracted a great
deal of gold , says the Bakersu > ld Cali-
fornian.
When water was struck the ground
was sloped above and then work ceased.
Mr. Maltby , however , always felt con
fident that there was nn abundance of
rich rock still deeper down in the vein ,
and recently , with other parties , started
a shaft and tunnel to tap the mine be
low the old workings.
The pny chute is found to be about
sixty feet long , with a vein .from five to
twenty-four inches wide and at present
carryfnc a seam of ore about live inches
thick that will mill over 5300 a ton in
gold.The
The ground from the tunnel to the old
works has been stopped out , the Inst

Dr. Constantine Ruttgers of Ponca
has been found truilty of attempting to
shoot County Attorney McCarthy last
spring. The case attracted considerable
attention from the peculiar circum
stances surrounding it. The doctor is
well educated and at one time was in
very comfortable circumstances , but of
late years ho nas been addicted to drink
and has become a total wreck. He was
very quarrelsome at times and had a
grudge against McCarthy for some
fancied wrong. One day last spring
he procured a revolver and
started out gunning for McCarthy ,
stating that he was going to shoot him.
He hunted around town s-everal hours ,
the attorney keeping out of the way.
Finally finding McCarthy in the sheriff's
office -with several men he accused him
of swindling. The lie was passed and
the doctor tried to shoot McCarthy , but
his revolver missed fire and before he
could get a second shot he was seized
by the bystanders. He was given a pre
liminary hearing and bound over to the
district court , his trial ending as stated.
He was in such destitute circumstances
that the court had to appoint an attor
ney to defend him.

" 'ompanion nothinp is more variable

because the water , -when it lions in the
open air , is not hot enough to cook
them. Such places are cas-lly reached
by means of a balloon or by climb-

the pressure upon its surface. When

water boils much more easily. In other

quired to coapulato the albumen of the
egg to "cook' " it that portion of one's
breakfast mipht have to bo prepared in
some other manner say by baking or
frying. However , if oatmeal or some
similar tub : tance were mixed with the
water , its point of ebullition could bo
raised sufficiently to boil the eggs in
sf ito of the altitude.
Other causes besides altitude may
vary the boiling point of water. As is
shown by the barometer , atmospheric
pressure varies considerably with the
weather. Hcpcewhen the breakfast egps
are not boiled to our likinpv should
remember that the trouble may be with
the weather and not with the cook.
Perhaps some of our young readers bare

water ? To do lhi& the experimenter
may need to cut oil the finper , but no
matter. Place it in a saucer of water
beneath the bell jar of an air pump and
exhaust the air. When the pressure is
Mifliciently reduced the water will begin
to boil , and will so continue until , its
temperature beinp rapidly reduced by
the vapor piven off. it finally freeres.
In the pocket of a tailor made gown
the swell girl carries her knife. Any
body who thinks this is an ordinary
knife such as can be gotten at any shop
is mistaken ; it is invariably made of
gold , and in addition is decorated wjih
some special design. A very original
one has a heart of lapis-lazuli framed in
diamonds set in one corner of the handle
and the owner's name and a curious
cipher carved on the other. A very
general fancy exists for havinp the
name engraved upon the knife in an
exact copy of the way ono would write
one's own initials.
