CHILDREN GET
MOLD Or WHISKY
Ou of the mothers of this town left
the house a few minutes Thursduy.aud
while away, u boy about 8 or II years
of age, Climbed and teeure I a bottle
containing whiskey. Ho drunk him
self und also gave some to his little
siiter about i yeai s old. Wheu thy
1 la ty returned she found both child
ren on the floor in a stupor, an 1 at
tiret thought both dead. A doctor
was promptly called, and soon relieved
the lad, but the little girl did not get
over the etiects I or a tiny or so. 1 lie
moral of this seems to be to pi. ice till
dangerous substances out of the reach
of chi'dreu.
A Three-Legged Colt
A freak of nature in the shape of
a three legged colt can be seen at The

that it wus killed by colic. It is per
fect in form, except that it possesses
only one leg in front, the left fore leg
is missing. City Recorder, Snider
says that he taw u eiuiilar deformity
at Altuins tumio time ago, and that
the colt was then u yearling, aud may
be alive now, us it whs active aud per
fectly healthy und of normul size.

treasury to pay for it. There will be
no dobt placed upon the county, or
heavy taxes -to meet interest charges,
as is usually the case elsewhere in

speaks volumes for a couuty so far
from a railroad, iu a section so little
known at present to the outside
world.

tal iu some claims iu wbicb be is in
terested. Tbe district is nine miles
northeast of Plush. Mr. McVay is in
dined to l conservative, but is of
the opiuioa that ttbere are aibiil-"
ties of the prospects tbere hy of
expenditure of money in order to de
termine their vortb. But little work
has yet bwen done in the camp. But
uew-comers of experience and means
have just come into the camp, and
aregoiug about development in in
telligent way that must produce re
sults. The camp was discovered about
two years ago by the Loftua brothers.
It was i von its name, from fcthe fact
trt an f.i.j cl-in lo iuin, was foct
in the ifu'eh, of which no oue here
can give a'ny accouut. But is suppos
ed to bdre been built aud occupied
by some old time prospector who was
either killed by Indians, or becaue
tired o' waiting results and left the"
country.
There ars two ; properties of good
snrfnne indications, the Butte and the
Jumbo, s;iid to be especially attract
ive. The deepest working is only 40
feet. Mum pies of the entire ore body'
exposed at this depth gave a return,
ha. says, of iroui $7 to f22 per ton in
gold. Among tbe other properties
are tbe Leo and Seattl groups, on

Some Minneapolis nud Spokane,
Boston men are interested iu the dis
trict. Tbe Examiner expects soou to be
able to give results of the work in

Fine Water In Lakeview
J. W. Tollman, the photographer,

without a single exception the best
water iu the west if not in the whole
United Stated. It is absolutely pure,
coutatniug no trace of neutrul or
organic matter, and neither acid nor
alkali nor iron. It is purer than

be a t'ii inducement for people to
locate here, to say uothiug of the
numerous other udvauiaues possessed
by this fuvored community.
