Ed. Harm, who arrived here last
week representing himself as con-
nected with the Oregon Pacific sur.
veyors, says the Boise Democrat,
was a fraud and scoundrel. He
borrowed some money from those
who knew him as an honest man
in Oregon, stole articles from 9th
ers, and then jumped the town. He
was neatly dressed, of light OF
sandy complexion, slim built, above
medium hight, and of fine address
AS another proof that the lodes
in Wagontown are permanent and
carry as rich ore hundreds of feet
in depth as they do on top, asserts
the Avalanche, may be cited the
discovery of a large lode cut last
week by the tunnel of w. F. Som
mercamp. The lode has well de.
fined walls, and carries ore assay
ing $45 per ton, most Of which is
gold. In all probability Mr.. Som
mercamp will commence drifting
on the lode preparatory to extract
ing quartz. Mr.. Sommercamp is tc
be congratulated on his new find.

licious satisfaction that he know
it all.
On an examination of the recort
the Weiser school board find the,

edness they are allowed to incu
for school purposes. They intend
ed to issue bonds to the amount o
$4,000 for the purpose of building
brick school house. The limit O
Indebtedness is 4 per cent of tn
taxable property. The assessmen
roll for 1887 fixes the value of tn

He was one of two brothers raised
