PuwwU'i ! thni. mm) Iri SKXIi rttR ATAUHU R j Tlie biggest mineral strike of the sear on in the Our d'Alenea was made within ' one mile of Mullen, Idaho, by John W. Smith, a deaf and dumb prospector. He found a five foot vein of eighteen inches of solid galena at a depth of fifteen feet be low the gratis roots. A quarter interest in the proerty has been bonded for $10,000. Port Falls, a young town in Northern Idaho, was only established last spring, but it has already located or assured a raw mill, a flour mill, a woolen mill, a h and door factory, a wagon and car riage factory and a match factory. A water works system is bting put in and an electric light plant erected. A street car line Is announced to he built soon. The town bids fair to become an important manufacturing center. The discovery of a wonderful ice cave is reported from Taney. Its location is near ly three miles due east of that place and about twenty-five miles from Moscow. The cave or mine is at an elevation of altout 2,000 feet above the sea. The ice is covered with moss and boulders but a rtrong free ling current of air issuing from it indicates the eiistence of a large cave in the hillside. By some it is snposed that this is a relic of the glacial period. The election on the fifth instant to de termine the sentiment of the people of the territory regarding statehood and the new j constitution resulted in favor of the con stitution and admission by a large major tty. The election was entirely on its own merits, it beii.g free from the question of filling the otRces, and as a result the issue as clear and it carried. The delegate in ' congress will have strong support in urg ing the admimion of Idaho to the anion at the coming session of congress. 5 IRMmaHAM'8 OSS ED LOUNGES. BEST AND CHEAPEST.
