One of the most delightful experien-
ces connected with the NUGGET Office is
the pleasant calls it receives from visit
ors to our camp. Last Saturday We had
the pleasure of receiving several calls.
A delegation of ladies and girls, among
whom were Mesdames w. S. Harley, of
Bruneau, Robert Bruce, of Castle creek
and John McCabe, of Silver City, and
Misses Ruby Peyton, of Silver, Ruth
Hyde and Ida Harley, of Bruneau, all
crowded in on the embarrassed old
bachelors who run the NUGGET, at one
time. We are always more pleased to
see such delegations than we are happy
in our manner of entertaining them,
but we may get so accustomed to such
pleasant calls in the course of time that
our difdence will wear off. These la
dies re visiting our new town learn
ing the phases of life in a mining camp
and, We hope, will carry away with them
pleasant impressions. We hope, also,
that we may again have the pleasure of
meeting them here.

The Silver City people have made up
their minds to have four-day's lot of
sport at their race track, beginning the
fun on Sept. 18th. They are raising
funds to make the affair an attractive
one; and when Silver City people are
called upon to contribute to any kind of
entertainment in their town they run
out their bullion ike double discharge
battery working on Phillips and Sulli-
van ore. They already have some eight
hundred dollars in sight to be given in
purses, and have a committee of the
best men in town appointed to COM
plete the arrangements for the grand
event. OF course, a grand ball will be
feature of the attractions.

Mr.. James Miller has been doing as
sessmeRt work on the Ohio mine. This
mine was among the earliest discoveries
and locations in this camp and for a
time, before the DeLamar property had
been developed, had produced some
very high grade ore which paid big for
mining and shipping; but the pay
streak seemed at the time, to be worked
out and but little more than assessment
work has been done for several years.
Miller now thinks he has struck rich
pay for the owners, which we hope will
prove true. He says there is an offset
in the ledge and that the pay was
missed by the owners not discovering the
fact. This mine is south of and adjoin-
ing the DeLamar property.

Mr.. Bob Mckenzie was wheeling his
baby out in her carriage Friday evening
and, when tuning one of the narrow
pointsin the road, came very near hav-
ing his child run over by one of those
drunken loafers who 30 frequently make
n1isances of themselves in town. We
wish we knew the drunken fellows
name so we could give him our opinion
straight of what we think of such fool
ours. Some child will be killed or in
jured by one of them some day and then
there will be racket in town that one
fool, at least, will be sorry for. In our
experience we have found the genuine
western cowboys to be brave, gener-
GUS, kind-hearted and very gentlemanly
lot of men. We have been with them
on the range, in camp and in town and
have found them sober, orderly, peace
able and industrious but once in a
while we meet fool galoot, posing as
a buckaroo and bad man, who, when he
gets in town. Immediately proceeds to
tank himself up, and as soon as he gets
in good sized jag, tries to show off on
horseback. Every respectable rider on
the ranges has profound contempt for
these would-be apes of their vocation.
The fool-killer ought to be little more
industrious than he is hereabouts.

MINING NUGGETS.

Two claims have recently been located
near the head of Blue gulch on Florida
mountain, which are now causing con-
siderable talk in Silver City. Blue gulch
runs into Jordan at Boonville and it was
at the mouth of this gulch, in 1868, that
the first gold was discovered in Owyhe
county, which created the grand rush to
this section. The gulch has been work.
ed for placer gold from its mouth almost
to the summit The matrix from which
these placers were fed has long been
matter of conjecture. The rich ledges
at the Black Jack, Empire State, Phillips
and Sullivan, Seventy and Boon
vile wash into Blue gulch, by way of
Niger gulch and are thought to have
fed the placers, but they being still rich
above the mouth of Niger gulcb, indi-
Gated that other ledges existed further
up. Within week past J. F. Brady
and G. r. Webster have found ledges
further up and both claim that they
have found the the real old mother
of the six millions taken out of B ue
gulch. Stories that are coming from
their finds are too vague and too big to
find place in the practical columns of
the NUGGET until they are verified by
our own expert.

After having expended a large sum of
money in running tunnels and drifts
through their ground, aggregatng 1900
feet in length, but only attaining q
depth which did not take them below
the broken up ground on the ledge, thus
neither proving or disproving it TO be
valuable, the owners of the Stoddard
property have commenced to sink
shaft almost at the point where they
commenced nearly two years ago, and
within few feet, sunk on a clay seam,
have found ore which samples quite
rich and from which two assays have
run above $500 and $500 respectively.
1t now looks as if they had at length
found the mine to be what every body
has believed it-quite rich, and have
also found that good deal of bad min
ing will have to be laid up against some
one.

The Last Chance mine at Flint, which
was purchased two years ago for Tabor
& Moffat, of Denver, had at that time a
shaft about one hundred feet deep, out
of which nearly hundred tons of rich
ore had been taken. The manager that
summer undertook to cut the vein by a
tunnel, Que hundred feet further south,
but thought. after running the tunnel
in far enough and finding only little
streak, that he had drawn a blank. A
few days since be set men at work to
follow the streak toward the shaft. The
first shot put in opened up one inch of
ore which assayed more than 81, 300 per
ton. This streak is continuing good as
they go in, and besides it, the vein has
widened out to fourteen inches of high
grade ore. AS this point is one hund-
red and thirty feet from the shaft and
about thirty feet lower than the bottom,
the indications are that the shoot of
ore will prove continuous to that point.
This ore is now being worked in the re-
modled Flint mill.

STORY OF AN ATTACHMENT.
The Gossfps Say That B1ackmail Was
af the RhffOIra

The Gossips Say That B1ackmail Was
at the Bottom.
The papers in an attachment suit were
served on a K-street shooting gallery
last evening by Constables Brissel and
Alter. The attachment is for non-pay-
ment of rent, and the suit was brought by
the landlord.
Rumor has it that the landlord did not
care so much about the rent as he did to
get rid of his tenants. And rumor fur
ther has it that clever attempt to black
mail the landlord, but which was not sue
cessful, is the cause of the trouble. The
story that the gossips are rolling about on
their palates is that the landlord was in
vited into the rear room of the shooting
gallery recently, and to his borrow found
that the wife OF the shooting-gallery man
had retired. Before he could get out the
shooting gallery man rushed in, flourish
ing a revolver and shouting something
about, Caught you at last! p, Then,
SO the gossips say, the wife told the VIC
tim that her husband could be pacified
for $500.
But the landlord said he was not paci-
flying people that week, and, inviting
the shooting gallery folks to HE them
selves to warmer cline, left.
AT a late hour last night it was stated
that the shooting gallery people had sig
nified their willingness to move i'm
mediately, if the attachment would
be released. 1t was not released, how
ever.
