HENRICHS & SON
Joe S. Brown, Promi
nent Citizen of Fre
mont County, Shot
by Hold-ups.
The tragic death of Joseph S. Brown,
a highly respected citizen and rancher,
of Egin Bench, early Sunday morning
had the effect of a body blow upon the
people of this place, who had known
him for years as one of the most indus
trious, straightforward and fearless
men who has ever lived in our midst.
Mr. Brown left home Saturday in
company with a half brother, David
Black, to attend the funeral of his sis
ter, Mrs. Wm. F. Critchlow, at Ogden.
On his way to the depot about mid
night, at Idaho Falls, to catch the south
bound train he started down the track
accompanied by "Peg-leg" Ellis, an ex
marshal of Idaho Fails. When about a
hundred yards from the depot they were
overtaken by two men, one of whom
passed them and when but a few feet in
front he wheeled and pointing his re
volver at Brown, ordered him to hold up
his hands. This, Blown refused to do.
when the man in the rear threw his
arms about him and a scuffle ensued in
which the shot was fired. The scuffle
and the conversation attracted the at
tention of Miss Ida Elg, who lived but
a short distance from the scene. She
heard the pistol shot and heard Brown
cry out "Oh God, you have shot me.
She immediately started and was the
first to give the alarm.
The motive was undoubtedly to se
cure Brown's money, whom they were
led to believe had considerable on his
person. It was evidently the work of
novices as they were so badly scared
that they immediately made their es
cape leaving Brown's money undis
turbed, which proved to be but $50.
Ellis claims that he started on the
run immediately when ordered to "hold
up," and yelled for the police, but his
story is not generally believed.
Brown was soon discovered lying par
alyzed across the track. He was carried
to the Brooks House where he lived
but about two hours, the bullet having
penetrated his groin in a vital part.
Although extremely difficult for him to
talk, he kept saying "Peggy knows, he
an tell yon. " Ellis was arrested Sun
day afternoon as one of the parties to
the crime and on Tuesday was removed
to the county jail at Blackfoot before
having his hearing, the feeling being
so intense against him that it was feared
there might be a lynching. The belief
is very strong that two tin-horn gam
blers who have been hanging around
the town for some time are the guilty
partners, and more arrests will undoubt
edly follow.
Mr. Brown was 48 years old. having
been horn in Ogden, and hail been a
resident of this county about 15 years,
moving here from Oxford. He acquired
one of the finest stock farms on Egin
Bench, which he recently sold and was
making preparations to move to Can
ada where two of his sons are located.
He leaves a wife and ten children
and an aged mother, living in Ogden,
to mourn his untimely death, besides
a large number of relatives and hosts of
warm friends throughout this part of
the state.
The funeral will be held at the Plano
meeting house Sunday, at 2 o'clock P.
M. His two sons, Joseph and Alonzo,
are expected to arrive from Canada.

Best of the Season.
The entertainment given on last Fri
day evening by the Philharmonic Lady
Quartette of Chicago, was by far the
liest that has ever come to St. Anthony.
Could they but have repeated it tlie
opera house would have been filled to
overflowing. Each one of the quartette
possesses a voice of exceptional merit
and rendered her part beautifully.
The contralto, Miss Elizabeth Furge
soii, possesses a voice which for rich,
deep tones, is remarkable.
The entertainer, Miss Daisy Torrey,
j\vas jiar excellence, and for Irish dialect
] we believe has no superior.
Every number was repeatedly encored
and a more highly appreciative audience
has never been seen in this city

Claim Owners in Tcton j
Basin Organize the !
Grand Teton Min
ing District
Trail Creek, Wyo., Mar. 20. About
twenty-five claim owners met at this
place today, for the purpose of organiz
ing a mining district which lias become
a necessity here on account of the re
cent discoveries. Hon. Fred II. Davis
being called to the chair, and Herbert
L. James chosen secretary, the organ
ization was soon accomplished.
Grand Teton Mining District as or
anized here today, is hounded on the
north by the National Park, on the east
and south by the south fork of Snake
river, and on the west by the east line
of Idaho.
Herbert L. James was elected to the
responsible position of recorder. He is
well qualified, being a man of education
and ability, and prompt and careful in
business matters. Among those present
were such prominent men as H. H. Cole,
whose reputation as a mining expert is
well known throughout the mining
states; his associate L. E. Moody, min
ing expert with headquarters in Spo
kane; Hon. Fred H Davis, senator from
Owyhee county and Idaho state minerol
ogist for the Pan-American Exposition;
and S. F. Hunt, a geologist and miner
ologist of years of experience, being con
stantly in the service of large mining
concerns. The above men and others
not mentioned are here in the interests
of large companies whose business is
the development of mining propel ries.
Among those of local promi -nee
were; J. L Eynon, of the Victor Mer
cantile Co. ; J. R. Robinson, of Eut.ipia
Mercantile Co.; Ben Jones of Jones
Hotel; Ted Jones, dealer in livestock;
Rice Bros., experienced prospectors:and
John R. Vail, the latter being one of
Teton Basin's pioneers, well acquainted
with tlie new mining territory, and at
present in business at Victor.
The depth of snow hinders the pro
gress of work on the claims, but the
favorable returns from samples sent for
assays, are stimulating the claim owners
to activity.
From present indications Trail Creek
Canyon will be a lively camp as soon as
spring comes.
As near as can be learned at present,
tlie mineral bearing ledge extends over
a large tract of this region, and if so, a
camp of unusual dimensions will be the
result. E. A. M.
Basin.
New Strikes in
The Teton Basin in Wyoming is the
location for a vast mineralized region,
which is attracting considerable atten
tion in some quarters at the present
time. Montana prospectors and mining
men are waiting for tlie snows to re
cede so that they can get into the coun
try with supplies. Tlie new district lias
also been brought to the attention of
number of Idaho mining men.
Mr. R. R. L. Paston, of Boise, say
the Capital News, lias returned from
three week's visit to the new gold
fields of the Teton Basin, in Wyoming
12 miles from the far-famed Jackson
Hole country, tlie former rendezvous of
the festive outlaw. The trip to this
new mining section is made by rail to
St. Anthony, Fremont county, Idaho,
and thence by stage a distance of 08
miles, just crossing the Wyoming line.
Very rich strikes were made in tlie dis
trict last fall, but the snow is yet from
three to eight feet deep, which hampers
prospecting, and although convinced
that tlie district is very promising in
both quartz and placer grounds, Mr.
Paston made no locations, but expects
to again visit the district later.
There are a number of Idaho mining
men on the ground, the most active
being Hon. Fred H. Davis of Owyliee
county, who is enthusiastic over the
prospects of tlie new camp. Mr. Davis
lias located five or six claims and has
obtained some excellent samples of ore.
H. H. Cole, well known in Boise, is a
recent arrival at the camp and expects
to give it a thorougli investigation with
the intention of securing properties. J.
Eynon of Victor, Ida., and Bennett
Brothers of Idaho Falls are largely in
terested in the new fields.
On the west side of the Tetons, about
six miles from tlie gold discoveries, and
in Fremont county, are located the coal
deposits, which have been traced for a
distance of 30 miles in surface ledges,
showing from three to six feet in width.
The people in the vicinity are using the
coal, which is an excellent quality of
fuel. These coal fields will prove of
great advantage in the development of
tlie nearby gold district.—Deseret News.

State Inspector of mines, Robert Bell

Mr. Bell considers it one of the im
portant duties of his office to promote
the developeuient of new mineral bear
ing sections of the state and assist the
prospector in bringing them to the at
tention of capital. He says that the
coal bearing formations of Fremont and
Bingham counties are of cretaceous age.;
that they are very extensive; that they
abound in igneous rocks, and arc likely
to afford geological combinations that
may produce a very superior grade of
fuel, not excepting anthracite coal of
the finest quality.
"I can also readily believe" says the
visitor, "that the numerous reports of
oil evidences in this field arc authentic,
and that hydrocarbon oils will be found
in paying quantities at a number of
points and as soon as the snow goes off.
"I intend to devote considerable time
to this field and endeavor to delineate the
extent and location of its moat promising
carboniferrous horizons for the public
benefit.
':One mine which I visited' says Mr.
Bell, "is opened by a 40(1 foot tuunel
driven on the vein all the way at an
average depth of about 150 feet, that
the vein in 0 feet wid " and all clean
fuel with tlie exception of one narrow
parting of clay 2 to <1 inches wide trav
ersing the center of tl:e vein, and analy
sis of the coal helms recently had made
show as high a per cent of fixed carbon
and as low a per cent of ash and mois
ture as the liest product of Utah and
Wyoming mines.
Mr. Bell also visited the Red Mud
Hole gold district above Victor on his
trip, but found that the snow was still
so deep there that he was unable to
form any definite opinion of its merits
at this time, lie however, secured a sam
ple from the Red Mud Hole, which lie
will have tested, and recites seeing
plenty of samples of good looking copper
silver ore at Victor, and one specimen
of gold ore well sprinkled with fine
colors of native gold. Trail creek, upon
which the Mud Hole district is located,
affords ideal natural conditions in the
way of water power timber adit tunnel
facilities, for the establishment of a
gold mining district, if the values prove
to be there.
"Tlie roads' he says, "are in rather
bad condition just at present, but tlie
camp enjoys an excellent stage and
mail service (six times a week! with
good accommodations on the way. and
the 00mile trip from St. Anthony is a
picnic, even at this time of year, com
pared to Borne new districts I have vis
ited."
Mr. Bell left for Boise on Friday eve
ning's train. Ho expects to pay us
another visit about the middle of May.
