FUNNY as A FARCE.

Last Night.

~ Drenry "Drnmn" Mt the Opera House
Last Might.
Custer" the so-called drama given at
the Opera House, is mi gcneris. There
is reason for rejoicing in that. An aud
itor sitting through it without descrip-
tive programme would be at loss to
know whether it was farce, n comedy
or nightmare. The audience was
small, and it was hard to tell which
seemed most ashamed Of themselves,
the actors, the auditors or the musicians,
four or five OF whom had to go on the
stage and act full brass band. The
play could not be redeemed by the best
acting, and the acting would make q
burlcsque OF the finest drama. Unfortu-
natcIy 1t is booked for this evening
again.

miitee u three. 10 include the chair
man, be appointed to try and sell the
bonds. Mr.. Jepson said he did not
think the sale could be made except by
the commission. Mr.. Maxwell stated
that lie had not thought OF usurping
the functions Of the commission, and
changed his motion so that the COM
mittee would assist the commission III
the sale.
Mr.. Reilly suggested that while that
committee was at work 1t would not lie
Tor the best to have an ordinance for
per cent bonds under discussiOnr be-
cause anyone who might be induced
ordinarily to buy the i! per cent bonds
would not touch them when there was
prospect OF getting per cent bonds in
Il lew weeks.
Mr.. Jcpson did not think there was
any use in trying further TO sell 4 per
cent bonds, and said the Bank OF the
Ohio Valley would buy the whole block
ut per cent, but Mr.. Pollock appointed
hlcssrS. Farrell and Maxwell on the
committee OF assistance with himself.
The question was asked several times
where the money was to come from to
pay the estimate about due, and it was
suggested that 1t be borrowed from one
ol the banks.
Mr.. Maxwell's pet restraining ordi-
nance came up, and stopped any. such

had thought OF borrowing from the Gas

Last April Pittsburgh jeweler re-

The Boise Meridian.

Surveyor General Petit received an
order by telegraph on Tuesday last to
make arrangements to have the Boise
meridian line extended as far north as
the British possessions. Some 100 miles
remains to be run before the work shall
be completed. 1t will cost $4,000, the
highest price the government allows
for such work.
At the same time another order was
received directing hat the ceded lands
of the Cenr d'Alene Indian reservation
be surveyed. This will cost about ST.
600 more. The surveyor general is now
making contracts to carry out his direc-
tions.
The several sums mentioned do not
come ont of the 10000 appropriation
for survey of Idaho lands, but from a
special fund at the disposal of the Inte-
rior OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

A traction engine and combined har-
vester from the foundry of Byron jack
son, at San Francisco, was received at
Modesto this morning. Two fat cars
were required to convey it to this place.
Fl. T. Hudson is in charge. From him
we learn that the engine is 70 horse
power and the machine will cut 26 feet.
The engine is wood, coal or straw burn
er. When straw is used for fuel, the
combined machine, by means of a snc-
ton pipe, will feed straw to the fire box.
Connected with the combined is an en-
gine of 20 horse power which is supplied
with steam from the traction engine.
The engine is a combined high and low
pressure. The engine and combined ex-
poets to start on the ranch Of r. F. Mill
er, near Salida, on Friday next. The
engine will travel between 81 and 4
miles of ground per hour. The engine
wheels proper are "a inches wide, but
may be widened to SO inches by connect
ing a aange wheel. This is done in
sandy soil.-Mod@ (Cal.) News.

A tribute to the cowboy is found in an
address by H. II. Campbell, late of the
Maladar Land and Cattle Co., as follows
We have already remarked everything
is characterized by change. How often
have we seen this truth verified by per-
sonal observation in this country. First
the Indian and the buffalo: then the
cowboy and the herd, and finally the
settler and civilization, The cowboy
how shall pay proper tribute to his
courage, fortitude and his kindness He
has defied the torrid heats Of summer
and the frigid blasts of winter without
shelter and at times almost without food
and clothing He has bearded the fury
OF savage beasts and still more savage
men. He has. turned, his back upon the
comforts Of home and the love Of kin
drsd to sweep across the trackless desert
in the face of dangers seen and unseen,
to pave the way for advancing civiliza-
ton. He has endured every hardship,
scorned every danger and surmounted
every obstacle that rude and untamed
nature could throw in his pathway.
Civilization owes him debt OF gratitude
greater than is conceivable and one that
will never be either fully realized or re-
noid

The North and South Railroad.

John O'Farrell passed through town
yesterday with Mr.. Bradley, one of the
Northern Pacific locating engineers.
They have gone to inspect the divide at
the head of Wolf creek, between Placer
vile and Garden valley, for route for
the North & South railroad. John says
the mineral wealth and timber supply
of Boise Basin will, ,on examination, JUS
tify the construction of North q South
railroad through Long, Round and Gar
den valleys, into Boise City and thence
south to DeLamar, Owyhee County,
where there is now scarcity of all
kinds of timber for mining purposes.
Mr.. Bradley and Mr.. O'Farrell will note
the paying and prospective mines Of the
Basin and county, and report on their
merits. The North & South road must
come. John and the engineer find, from
personal observation, that the route will
be paying one.-Idaho World.

FILTER FOR WASTE OIL.-Among the
ways for freeing oil from dirt and impu-
rites, good one is to stir it up with a
hot solution of washing soda, and settle
in warm place until the oil is quite
clear; then run off the water at the bot
tom of the vessel. If you desire to filter
it,a very simple filter is made by knock
ing out the bolton of the box and cover
ing it with gauze wire; then place a
layer of cotton wool over this, and pour
the oil through it. The former process
is much preferred, although it is more
troublesome, because it not only ex-
tracts the solid dirt, but also extracts
dirt out of solution in the oil.-Mining

pose when it has been demonstrated
clearly enough that conve rsation can be
carried on from such distance. We
understand that snund can be heard the

will be filed at The state land Office on
the 9th of July. The Indians want the
land themselves, however, and are NOV

Act of Congress throwing the reserya-

the Indians, and if one of them takes

which time the Government will give

0wyhee Diamonds.

Twenty-six years ago Caleb Lyons,
governor of Idaho, while on visit to
Owyhee County, obtained possession of
what was termed diamond that had
been discovered with others just like it
by man who was sinking a prospect
hole near Silver City. The governor ex-
hibited the stone in Boise,and whatever
its character in the catalogue of precious
stones, it certainly was gem of exqui-
site beauty. 1t was about the size of a
large gum drop, only not so fat, and of
a delicate amber or yellow color, and
transparent. Placed in your open hand,
or upon atable,th light shown through
it was of the same hue. Whether it was
ever classified the writer has forgotten,
but its discovery created DO little sensa-
tion at the time and was the cause of no
little digging for more. The finding of
opals in North Idaho has recalled the

Telegraph to DeLamar.


The Silver City Telegraph Co. has ex-

first message was received at Caldwell
Wednesday. Following is the message: ::
DELAMAR, June II, 1891
NJ. B. GwINN. Mayor, Caldwell.
DeLamar, the greatest of Idaho's
many fourishing mining camps, greets
the rustling Magic City" Caldwell with
hearty good wishes. The two towns,

will continue to develop stronger bonds
for mutual interests. E. r. MnLs.

Caldwell accepts the kind wishes Of
yourself and the good people Of Della
mar, "the greatest mining camp in the

beneficial and lasting as electricity is
powerful. MONTE b. GwINN.
