mine operator and owner. paid our towr
short visit last week. He reports min.
ing operations in our neighboring towr
in fonrishing condition, particularly
at the Phillips & Sullivan.
Mrs. S. Heidelberger and Mrs. R. H
Leonard, of Silver, and Miss Anne
Brunzell, of Reynolds, accompanied by
Messrs Fred and Adel Brunzell, were in
DeLamar last week making calls and
transacting business; but am not GO
ing to say word about that garme nj
which was lost, containing two copies
of the NUGGET. | said / wouldn't, and
won't lie.
And now comes j. II. Crocheron with
apples and peaches hat vie with those
from the Bruce ranch, mentioned lasi
week but the boss peaches, so far,
were those exhibited at Knapp's drug
store last week and weighed by drug
gist Peck. One tipped the beam at ten
and another at eleven ounces. They
were grown in Boise valley. How is
that for Idaho fruit?
Now comes a well authenticated re-
port of an embryo attorney, not thou
sand miles from here, who espoused the
cause of poor, but pretty woman, re-
ceived his fee and then abandoned the
case because she wouldn't let him kiss
her while on the way to the county seat.
1 don't know who was the most to blame
the pettifogger or the client, but do
know that such conduct must be set
down on.
Among the needs of this place is a
good lodging house, and such an insti-
tuition would pay the investor hand
somely. Those now here are first class
in every respect, but ara entirely mad
equate for the accommodation of the
people, and often it is almost iInpossi-
BILE to fad even ''shak down. where
one can roll up in pair of blankets for
the night Let some one put up a good
forty or fifty room house and he will,in Il
short time, wonder where his money all
came from.
l believe the boss of this paper had
some pretty, fowery things to say last
week about the beautiful autumnal days
in the "Gem of the Mountains" Had
he remained home until last Thursday
morning he would have admitted him
self falsi6er, no-such- thing and
no good. On that morning the denizens
of this Hole in the Mountains arose
from their downy beds-many of them
'downn on the ground with only tent
to cover them-to find the face of Da-
ture covered with two inches of snow.
Lamb, you are no better than Melbourn.
Last week man by the name of John
Duncan, in the employ of Thos. Jones,
who is constructing a bridge across Jor-
dan creek at the Stone House in Pleas
ant valley, had the misfortune to nearly
sever his foot from the leg with an ak.
The cruel blow took effect near the an
kle, passing down through the instep
and severing bones, cords and sinews in
its course. Fortunately DR.. Richter was
at Baskerville, where the injured man
was taken and the wound dressed. 1t is
thought that the foot may be saved, but
it will be many days before the man can
walk.
A man named Denver Dickerson was
a short time since taken down with ty-
phold fever, and, not being able to get
other quarters, owing to the crowded
of our lodging houses and ho-
tells, had to stay in one of his wagons in
the lower part of town. News of this
reached the ears of the wife of Mr.. Mills.
of the Banking Co., who Immediately
herself in the matter, and,
with the cooperation of other ladies,
secured for him comfortable quarters,
where he was taken on stretcher and
is now, through careful nursing and the
skillfu treatment of DR.. Plumer on the
road to recovery. Such noble acts of
kindness and humanity make this
much more pleasant world to live in
than would otherwise be the case.
