TIE Republican delegates as
sembled at Lincoln, October 1st.-
The Republican precincts we're all
fully represented. The County
Committee met at 1890 a. M
Various propositions were SUBMIT.
ed to it looking toward Il Peoples,
or Union ticket. Among them
were propositions from Democratic
sources, including SO large a pro-
portion of the Democratic strength
and wealth of the county that the
public interest seemed to demand
for them a favorable consideration.
The Republican delegates were
called to meet with the Committee
and hear the questions discussed,
and at 3 p. IN. on Wednesday,
The Chairman of the County Com
mittee submitted the question to
the Convention without recon-
mendation. The Republican Con
vention then voted to accept the
Democratic proposition.
1t elected five members of an
executive committee of nine-the
four vacancies were filled by anti
machine Democrats, %whereupon a
call was drawn up and signed,
which will be found elsewhere.
There is no question but that if
the Convention of Oct. 18TH, puts
an unobjectionable ticket in the
field, the movement means sue
cess
1t is desired that all the precincts
assemble on the 11th., in their full
strength, and send to Lincoln full
delegations of their best men IA
vorable to the movement, with a
view to the selection Of the best
possible ticket. and that thereafter
every man in the county, who is
opposed to the election of the De
mocratic machine ticket, will 60 to
work and do his best to secure the
election OF the Peoples ticket.

Ok Tuesday we hived Mr.. Z. Ii.
Chandler, and put him through
our interview mill, by which pro
cess we learned that en- route hith-
er he purchased Of Frazer IL Chal-
mers, Chicago, - stamps for the
Mill here, and they wi arrive just
as soon as they can be got out
and shipped, and the manufactur-
ers expect to have them in White
Oaks by December, and Mr.. c.
expects the Mill to be in operation
by January. The stamps will be
$50 Ii calibre, and will have auto
matte feeders. Two more concen-
traitors will also be put in, and the
water facilities will be enlarged to
accommodate the mill to its fullest
capacity. The boiler room, Which
was destroyed by fire last Saturday
morning, will be rebuilt as soon as
the insurance agent arrives here
and adjusts the loss, and he is eN
pectcd to arrive this week or early
next week, as he was written to
(Albuquerque,) on Saturday. The
pulyerilcrs will be taken out, and
the mill put in shape to receive
the stamps before they get here
Mr.. Chandler has arranged to have
Mr.. Colp put on a force Of men to
do assessment work ON all OF Ben
son, Chandler, Thomas d Cos
claims between now and January
LIST. So it will be seen that the
prospects OF the reopening and
utilizing.the important properties in
dicated-mill and mines-are in
deed hattering.

BOND IL STEWART.

ABOUT 3 O'Clock on last Saturday
morning, the cry OF "r-I-R-E'
startled cur people. The scene o.
the conhagration was at what is
known as Chambers Mill, and was
located in the boiler room. That
the fire was the work of an incen-
diary is beyond question. The
evidence is not alone founded on
suspicion, or the prolonged absence
of tire in the building, bat on the
presence OF shayings in the room,
which were traced tor some dis
lance from the mill. The weather
didn't favor the damnable enter
PRISE, and water being plenty and
convenient, the frey element was
confined in its ravages to thescene
of its origin. The damage will
scarcely scale $500, and is covered
by insurance.

LIE Republican primary, like
unto the Democratic primary the
week before, wound up with an in
dignation meeting, the difference
being that the i. m. at the Repub-
lIcan primary wasn't political, but
over the discovery that we had a
hre-buS in our midst, and thus the
primary drifted into an indigna-
ton meeting then and there, while
the Democratic i. m. was political,
and dritted to the saloons.

THE WORMS.
They are Spreading All Oyer Town.

They are Spreading All Oyer Town.
The worm pest seems to have come
to stay, as the larger ones are digging
holes and spreading in all directions.
They are now fully as many, this side
of the ditch, as on the other side. Many
of those on this side crossed the ditch
over the bridges, while others fell into
the ditch from the other side and after
floating a while landed on some con-
struction or on the opposite side from
that from which they fell.
Cool weather seems the most favor
able for the worms. In the morning
they can scarcely crawl; but as the
suns rays begin to be felt they move
about freely; by / or IL o'clock, on
warm days, the most of them are
stretched on the ground at full length,
and they remain in that conditi, II
until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
when they resume their deprcda,ions.
When in motion they never stop
eating, and go from leaf to leaf, and
bush to bush, puncturing, eating and
purging. They eat at one end, and
purge at the other, without seemingly
ever stopping either operation seper.
ately, but both at once.

THE WATER MAINS.
They are to be Extended to Pine Street

They are to be Extended to Pine Street.
The Trustees of the water company
held meeting, last Saturday evening,
and resolved to extend the water main
from the hotel, at Croy and First ave-
nue., along Croy to the alley between
Second and Third avenues, thence
along the alley to Pine street.
The proposition of extending the
mains along Main street was discussed,
but as the company's funds viii! be
exhausted and the company brought
in debt by the extension just ordered,
nothing else can be done Just at
present.
About three months ago T. r.
Jones, the banker, had PARTY who
was willing to take 1000 shares at 81
per share, on condition that the title
be perfected. The officers of the
company set about doing SO at once,
but Robert E. Strahorn, who alone
was empowered to sign for the l. &
o. Co., was away and could not be
got at until day or two ago, and,
Mr. Jones having sold out his inter-
ests here in the meantime, it is prob.
able that the 1000 shares will not be
taken at this late day. The company
will therefore be compelled to worry
along on its own resources, and by
next spring it will be in position to
cover the whole town with its mains.

THE SILVER STAR MINE.
1t Shows Body Of Rich Ore at Depth
OF 800 Feet.

The ledge was recently struck in the
Silver Star mine, Smoky District.
This mine, together with others, was
purchased last fall by Colonel Edmund
Green, for the Philadelphia Company,
and stock of winter supplies put in
at once. On the first Of December a
tunnel was begun, which has been
pushed all winter, and which recently
cut the ledge at depth of 800 feet,
and found it Of the same character as
shown on the surface. The ledge is
six feet in width, says the Ketchu,a
Keystone, and consists chiefly OF three
grades of ore that will average in value
100 ozs., per ton. The surface show
ing of the Silver Star mine is excel
ent. the ledge being traceable for
distance of 1900 feet, and with the
present attainment in depth and the
working facility developed by the large
tunnel, the mine stands as one of the
best openings for ore extracted in the
Wood River region. The ore is al
heavy in lead ard of a very free nature.
ia the breast of the lower tunnel water
is found in abundance, but it is easily
drained off through the tunnel, and it
is converted into power to run an air
blower for the mine.

THE PRIDE OF IDAHO.
1t Yielded 100 Tons OF Ore Last Year,
but will DO Better This.

j. W. Dawson, ono of the owners
of the Pride Of Idaho, on the East
Fork of Wood River. was in town to.
day. He reports u new strike on the
Pride, four-inch vein of 1,.lN-
ounce ore having been uncovered in
the grass roots, day before Yesterday
The main tunnel on the vein is in 400
feet and has attained depth of 800
feet below the groupings. 1t is in ore
nearly all the way, and slopes are
opened from it, on each side, and 10
tons per day could be extracted, if
desired.
Another tunnel has recently been
started, which will cut the ledge at
depth Of 400 feet. This is expected
to open the main ore-body, and when
that is done the Pride of Idaho will
take rank with our very best ore
producers.
Last year the Pride Of Idaho yielded
100 tons of first-class ore that netted
the owners $2l7 per ton. This year
it will do much better, as all of 100
tons are already on the dump, while
several hundred tons of second
class ore are being hauled to the
HALEY Concentrating Works at the
mouth of Indian creek.
The roads are just in passable con.
dition, and Mr.. Dawson will ship all
summer any way.

A New Mining District.

A man just in from Soldier reports
the discovery of new mining district
at point about II miles northwest
erly from Soldier. He says that ga

going. If this discovery amounts to
much it will make booming town of

$4,05O!
THAT WILL BE THE COST OF THE
INDECENT SICK NEXT YEAR.

Eleven Bids Opened To-day, and All
Lower than Last Year-The Contract
Awarded to DR.. Jones Of Bellevue.
The Board OF County C Commissioners
met to-day, the full Board being pres
ont.
The first business in order after the
reading of the minutes, was the OPEN
ing OF the bids for the care and main
tenance of the INDECENT sick of Alturas
county for the ensuing year. Eleven
sealed bids were reported by Recorder
Fox, clerk, and opened in the presence
Of the Board and all in attendance.
Following are the bids:
H. L. Hoyer, Of HALEY, offered tc
furnish drugs, medical attendance,
board, s,etc., for one year, for
$4,000.
L. N. Snow, M. d., of Bellevue,
bid, firstly, for medical attendance,
board, medicines, etc, $1.4O per pa
tient per day; secondly, same, for one
year, $4,000.
NJ. Jones, NJ. d., of Bellevue, bid,
firstly, supplying drugs, and medical
attendance, 81, 500 per year; secondly,
maintenance, without drugs or medi-
cal attendance, *3,45O; thirdly, main
tenance, including drugs and medical
attendance, S4,950.
Drs. Miller & Brown, of HALEY,
bid, firstly, medical attendance 81, 200
per year; secondly, board, medicines,
nursing. etc, sl.4O per day.
Drs. Mckay g. Higgins bid, firstly,
for care and maintenance, $3.50 per
day; secondly, for medical attend
ance, drugs and medicines, 81, 200 per
annum; thirdly, for maintenance,
medical attendance, ETC., $4,000.
The bids were read over and ex-
amined. They were all for cash or its
equivalent, and were accompanied by
acceptable bonds. The bids of Drs
Miller & Brown, not being made out
in accordance with the published ad-
vertisement, were not considered.
DR.. Jones's bid being the lowest,
the contract was unanimously awarded
him. and the clerk was instructed to
have the contract prepared.
The question "Who will take the
patients to the Hospital?" then came
up; when the Board decided that,
when an order for admission shall
have been issued, it will be incumbent
on the county to see that the patient
gets to the hospital, and to pay the
cost thereof.
DR.. Jones notified the Board that
the hospital would be IN Bellevue,
and ready within one week, if nee
essary.
The rate at which the contract is
let is about 81 SO per patient per day
for 10 patients. DR.. Jones does not
believe that the average will be as
high as 10 patients per day the first
month or so.-REP.
An advertisement calling for bids
to bury the INDECENT sick, or the re-
mains of the same who may die,
was ordered to be inserted in the
Bellevue Chronicle and WooD RIVER
TINES, until the day prior to the
opening of the bids.
