Mineral .MuI.nlIal-iuG

The prospects for Mineral look
brighter than ever. New and rich
ore bodies are discovered and opened
up every day. Lang's smelter will
be ready for operation about May
lst. The Black Maria company are
hauling ore to the mill and have de-
livered in the last two weeks about
25O tons of high grade ore. The
last lot of sixty tons delivered by the
said company averaged 81 ounces in
silver per ten. Mr.. Darby is super
intending the mine and has quite a
force of men at work. A few days
ago they struck in the lower works
four feet of rich sulphurite ore which
assayed all across the ledge 80 ounces
per ton. Mr. Duffy is pushing work
ahead on the Black Hawk. The
mine is showing very extensive de-
posts Of rich ore. The Transit com
pany are still at work on their prop
erty and their pile Of ore on the
dump is getting larger every day.
Not an idle man can be found in the
camp and it is predicted that Mineral
will be known as one Of the princi-
pal silver producing camps in the
land before long.

Our Town

"By GorrieW exclaimed stranger
the other day, Hbut this town Haas
Numbers of fine Riggs" That was
true and the town is able to Cope
with other towns and is the King of
live Little cities. A Newman can
be seen any day ready to invest.
If your girl is obstinate just Walker
down to Weiser and show her your
corner lot and she will have you.
This Sommer will be lively though
we are not putting on Ayres about it.
Some fine wheat is being put into
the Hopper at the mill. Our Hart is
warm towards newcomers and we
want Moore. A Page from our his
tory will show that we Grab at every
chance to advance our interests We
are not Lyon to you but mean what
we say. Our girls have Ivory teeth
and some of them Curl their hair and
like a Canary. In the Sommer they
depart to the mountains for a nice
Sommercamp by the banks of some
stream where they fish while the
boys smoke a Cobb pipe. Some
times prominent citizen will send
his Galloway to school, though we
have a good school here. Our far
mer Burns the sagebrush off his land
which will raise anything, owing to
the fine climate which is so healthy
that Deadman is a rarity. We
have hayfelds, Butter6elds and
Brassfelds, The fields are all quite
Green. What is Haworth? Con-
siderable, my dear sir. 1t takes a
good many Pence to buy ton. Our
town is quite Townly and dignified

Cutting .sse.l.ape.

f. 7. Page and VIM. Thompson,
both of Weiser, indulged in a ''scrap'
last Saturday. Thompson used his
knife freely, cutting Page severely
about the head and on the arm. Mr..
Page is around though somewhat
weak. Thompson came out of the
affray with both bones of his leg
broken and is now in a doubtful
condition and it will likely be
months before he will be able to get
around.

MAD AT US.
The De1nOCI.at on it's Ear
Ten Sensible Men.

The Bedrock Democrat gets out
its wheezy old bagpipe and gives us
quite q delightful serenade. AL
though it was entirely uncalled for
still we appreciate the tune.
The editors of the Democrat had
just indited the following:
''The west bound passenger last
evening had party of ten men
bound for the Seven Devils mines.
They got off at the depot and ON
being told by some thick headed in
diyidual that there was no route
from Baker to the mines continued
on their way to Weiser city We
suggest that some one be stationed
at the depot with a stuffed club and
kill off such idiots who know SO
little about the geography of the
country and its thoroughfares as to
convey such intelligence to strangers
as did the "Smart Aleck" of yester-
day. Anybody knows, fools except
ed, that there is just as good route
and better to the Seven Devils mines
as there is from Weiser
How Agonizing Ten men had
the good sense to pass by the Queen
City and go on to Weiserl No won
der the Democrat men were demoral-
lied and, upon picking up the SIGNAL
and seeing an article upon the ridic-
ulousness of far-distant towns in
Montana, Washington, Oregon and
Idaho claiming our Devils, they
jumped at the conclusion that it was
u TRADE of abuse against Baker.
| (Their being SO very easily alarmed
shows how doubtful they are OF
their chance against Weiser) They
rushed gallantly forth to do battle
for their town, and after moving the
Seven Devils ten miles nearer the
city, dumping ten feet of snow on al
other routes and making arrange
ments to have the stage line put on
at once to Snake river (from where,
presumably, they will take ladders
and scale the cliffs 5000 feet up Il
the Devils), they loaded up their ed
itorial cannon and fired their pape
wad at u.s. The article which raise,
their ire gave Huntington and Bake
considerable license, saying I'VE ca
account for Baker and Huntingto
laying claim to the Seven Devils
but that other towns displayed evi
derce of supreme gall. Don't jun
at conclusions, friend Democrat, br
N note the drift of the next article be
: coming so fierce and sarcastic. W
care not how much you have to say
: however, as long as they pass Bake

mind in regard to stopping at Boise
No small towns will now be visitsd

business with pleasure.

burgh, Hamburger Preaching it by

Dresden, Wittenberg, Liepsic, Weimar,
Erfurt, Frankfort-on-the- Main, Heidel-
berg, Strasburg, Paris, London, and
Liverpool. From Dublin he could easily
reach Goldsmith's Deserted Village.
From Liepsic he could run to Halle and
Luther's birthplace. From Strasburg
he could take two days flight within the
limits of Switzerland, and view its lofty
heights at no remote distance. From
Frankfort he could run up the Main,
and by short railway to Munich.
The round trip from Cork, back to
Liverpool, could be made in the first
class cabin on steamboats,, and the
third class on the raill Dads, for $3.50, al

True POIiteneSS.

"The modern highwayman doesn't
understand his business" said an old
traveller as he looked up from an &C
count of a man being "held up" "He's
brutal-unncessarilv So"
"Do you want him to take off his hat
when he stops you?" ne was asked.
"Do you want him to beg your
pardon? %
"Oh, no. You quite misunderstand
me. I'm not an admirer of Paul Cliff
ford. But why jar a mans nerves or
mar his beauty? Why hit him on the
head with a sandbag or scare him to
death by jumpingat him from an alley :?

trimmings, commend me to the man

Great Names End with "On.n

A gentlemen in Washington who
devotes his time to hunting up all sorts
of information. says he can prove that
the greatest men and women in the
world s history had names that ended in
"on." He gives the following list OF
famous men, to which the reader can
add at his leisure:
Samson, Solomon, Napoleon, Wash.
ington, Wellington, Newton, Bacon
Johnson, Nelson, Hamilton, Milton
Byron, Jefferson, Jackson, Emerson
Edison, Harrison, Clinton, Madison
Hudson, Gibbon, Addison, Walton,
Wilmington, Wilson, Farjeon, Morton
Audubon, Chatterton, Tennyson and
Lytton.
That is all very we'll if the greatest
men Of the world have been Englishmen
and Americans of English descent
whose names frequently end in ton
or son; but to say nothing of the fact
chat some, at least, of the names given
are not those of the greatest men who
have ever lived what mistake it was
that Abraham, Moses, David, Xerxes.
Charlemagne, Shakespeare, Dante,
Gladstone, Bismarck, Lincoln, and
some thousands Of others who might be
mentioned, had names that did not end
with "on."
Moreover, a pretty good case can be
made out for Ger" as rival termination.
Here are a few names that suggest
themselves at once: Alexander, Peter
Luther, Spenser, Hunter, Webster,
Turner, Bulwer, Wagner.
