Of excellent quality and the only
question standing between Mr..
Lackey and a bonanza, is the
quantity. He claims to have struck
a three-foot vein but is unable to
tell the extent of it. Parties from
Caldwell have gone over to exam
inc the find. We will make known
the result of the investigations. II

( Mr.. IT. r. Stevenson arrived
from Denver this week and has
formed partnership with r. A.
Cowden to engage in the lumber
business in Caldwell, under the firm
name of the Caldwell Lumber
Company JMr. Stevenson comes
to Caldwell highly recommended as
thorough, practical, safe business
men who knows how to push things.
Mr.. Cowden needs no introduction
to the trade of this vicinity, having
been engaged in the lumber bust
ness here some two years ago, and
anything THE TRIBUNE might say

at work making active prepara-

the W. U. Telegraph Company,
they attempt to destroy fair COM
petition, they overtax the patience
Of even the peace loving people Of
Silver City, and they Indignantly
resent any further meddling with
their affairs. This is the way the
Silver City Avalanche talks: CATER
all the hard feelings engendered by
the action of the Boise City people
in building a telephone line to Sill
yer City, in direct opposition to a
Silver City enterprise in which they
had fair show, the people here
