been doing business in this country for
a quarter of a century, have sold their

under he skilful management of Julius

time before the articles of incorporation
will be changed to read, "the principal
place of doing business is at Namps.
Idaho" So mote it be.--Nampa Leader.

Who Was His Enemy2

Daniel T. Chrisman, night watchman
at Silver City. a man of kindly dispo-
sition, as harmless as child, honest
and industrious in his employment,
was murdered in cold blood by some
base assassin last Thursday morning.
Who did the base and cowardly deed :?
Perhaps this will never be known. He
is dead, and some fend, With load on
his conscience which he would now give
all the gold in War Eagle mountain, did
he POSSESS it, to get rid OF, is now striv-
ing to shun the evidence of his guilt.
He must have, as the situation shows,
deliberately laid in wait to take the life
OF fellow man. What could have been
the motive that prompted him 10 COM
init the dastardly deed ? God alone
will reveal it, unless some circumstances
bring it to light, which none but the
cowarly iend can now recite. Snch
deeds demand swift and awful punish
ment, but it is possible that an accusing
conscience may wresk the only ven
geance that the assassin will ever expe-
rience.
The story of the place and circum
stances of the killing are too well known
now to require repeating in detail here.
An earnest coroner's jury has mined for
facts on every small lead they could
discover, but have found none which
90 kao I,.H. .,st
clusions upon. Will the citizens allow
this matter to rest here? We hope not.
Besides the importance of dealing out
justice, the matter is a serious one, be-
canse the fair fame of the county, rich |
in mineral resources, is inviting men
and capital here. To entice men here
to invest and build up our mining in
dustries we must assure them safety for
their liyes and property. Men now
here may know that this murder is only |
an incident similar to occurrences hap
pening often in cider and more staid |
communities, but the world at large is
so accustomed to believe that the newer
states, and the mining camps in them, T
are given over to lawlessness, that when
the report of this murder is read it will
be laid up against the town, county and
state in which it occurred, as showing
an abnormally wick ed condition of af-
fairs here, which is not true. Hence it
is to the interest of every one, as well
as their duty, to show their disapproba-
ton of such deeds by assisting in ferret
ing out and furnishing the perpetrator.
LATER.-Since the foregoing was in
type the coroner's jury brought in
verdict on the strength of which consta-
BILE Albert Myers was Immediately ar
rested, and is having an examination to-
day.

Caught by a Sickle.

While working with moving ma
chine on Three Creek, Owyhee county,
Tuesday, Mr.. A. Bertschy met with an
accident which may cost him the loss of
his right hand, and which will at any
rate stiffen the wrist joint. 1t seems
that the sick became clogged and
stopped the machine, the horses backed
little and just when Mr.. Bertschy was
endeavoring 10 clear the guards he was
thrown in some way and pitching for-
ward the horses started and his right
arm was caught in the wrist joint and
the hand nearly severed. The blood
flowed freely and in consequence the in
jured man has experienced no little snf
fering. He was brought here yesterday
evening, and DR.. Smith being absent,
found it necessary to bear his misery un-
til to-day and Valley.

A Duck Story.

Sportsmen are getting in their stories
in good season. The Richm (Me.)
Democrat has the following: A hunter
got after gang of didaper ducks in the
lake. These birds are said to be
able to dodge bullet. The hunter
shot away all his cartridges without hit
ting duck. When the didapears saw
a puff of smoke from the gun they
would dive before the shot reached
them. The hunter was determined not
to be outdone, so he lit cigar and be-
gan to puff as fast as he could. In this
way he kept the ducks under water un-
til he drowned he entire flock.

Death of Moritz Oberdorfer.

On Wednesday morning the sad news
was spread around Silver City that Nor
ritz Obesdorfer, the postmaster, was
dead. The evening before he had been
compelled to work late in the postoffice
and was heard by some of his friends to
complain of queer feeling in his head.
At two O'Clock in the morning DR.. Rich
ter was called in and found him stricken
with apoplexy and beyond any hope
of recovery. At seven O'Clock the spirit
of an honest man and an esteemed citi-
zen winged its fight into the realms of
eternity. Oberdorfer was an old citizen
here who had won the respect of all
who knew him. He was generous, kind
hearted and honorable. He has met
with business reverses in his time which
have crowded him, and, never a very
strong man, they tended to undermine
his health, until he finally broke down
from being ov1rworked. His funeral,
conducted by the Masonic lodge to which
he belonged, was an evidence of the es-
TEEN in which he was held by the peo-
pie of the county. The large concourse
ofpeople who attended it, were there be-
cause they were his friends. He left a
wife and one son. lad of ten years, to
mourn the loss of one of the kindest of
men.

Mr.. Leech, owner of the Last Chance
mine at Flint, has shown us some very
rich specimens of ore from that mine.
1t is found in the tunnel run last year
and is l30 feet south of the shaft on the
property ont of which ore of the same
character, but not 80 rich, was taken.
This would indicate that they have at
least 130 feet in length of shoot of
very high grade ore. The Flint mill is
now concentrating ore from this mine
and The concentrates assay upwards of
$500 per ton.

MINING NUGGETS.

The indications are that the old time
! glory of Silver City, as mining camp.
is about to reappear. The AVALANCHE
mining man, whom we know to be a
very reliable expert, has visited the
Poorman mines and is enthusiastic over
the showing that property is making.
They have, according to his report,
struck three-f foo. ledge of ore which is
similar to that the same mine prodnced
when the batteries of the New York
! mill had to be stopped and cleaned out
because clogged with solid silver. And
now comes the news that the Trade
Dollar, new and virgin property, on
the south side of Florida mountain, has
cut into what the managers had taken
for the foot wall, in No. 2 tunnel, and
opened big ledge of very rich gold ore.
Verify the mine owners and business
msn of that camp have cause for feeling
happy.
Since the above was in type the fol-
lowing has been received: 1.-THE Poor
man tunnel No. 8 has cut the shaft.
Four feet of very rich ore passes to the
east of the shaft. This ore was not
found at the time the ehaft was sunk.
1t is now known that the northern edge
of the great bonanza has been found"

tlemen who has visited our mines be-
fore. Mr.. Chadbourne is an elder
brother of F. M. Chad dbourne, of the

visit of these gentlemen. 30 well known
by European capitalists and investors in
A American industries, is important and
significant, and we hope that they will
carry back with them correct and favor
oble impressions of the future possbili
ties of this portion of Idaho, which we
believe to be tie coming great mining
county of the country.

CorrAsE GROVE, Or, Mar. -.
EpIToR LEBANON ExPREss:
saw an extract from your paper in
the Oregonian OF Feb. 9th, stating
your views on the license question,
which says: "If liquor selling be II
good thing, let everybody sell it; il it
be bad thing, let nobody sell it." |
for one think your views are very SEN
sible. In regard TO high license | see
no sense or justice in it. SO long rs
this government allows it 60 be made,
Just 50 long will it be drank, asd no
power on earth can stop it. You may
put the license as high as YOU please,
YOU may make this q prohibition
State, and it will be drank For years
this town would not allow a saloon in
it, vet II was admitted that there was
less drunkenness I'm the town after
the saloon started than there was be-
fore. Why? Because before they
would go to the drug store and get all
and more than they needed or wanted,
by the bottle We have a druggist
here now, a naember of the church,
who is terribly down on saloons, and
wants the license high enough TO
shut them up, yet this Christian
brother is and has been for the pas,
six or seven years selling all kinds OF
liquors in any quantity you may want.
Til i the class of men who want
high license to close up saloons. Drug
stores are fighting saloons in every
tewn. Again, high license makes
men dishonest wSacn they don't want
10 be; makes man sell drinks to
men when he would rather not. Why
Because he has 10 make that license
he has to keep - poor article instead
of good. say let the license be low
the man be of good character, a bond
to keep am orderly place, and drns
stores pay license the same as saloons
/ FAIR PLAY.
