During the last four years we have
been subssting in summer time on
grashoppers and wild onions, in winter
season on snow balls and cedar bark,
clothing our family in stink weeds tied
together with angle worms. AS rule
we rustic fire wood in the night time,
when the elements war and thick gloom
covers the skies. We are liberal pat
ron of the slaughter pen, and tripe and
tails and shank bones are never per-
mitted to fatten homeless ours and hair
less coyotes we have free access to a
patch of wild currants and gooseberries;
on unsuryeyed lands; yet, notwith-
standing all our solid nourishment
comes to us as mama came to the child
rem of Israel, there are a few luxuries
that must be bought. Take salt, for in
stance. Then, in the way of raiment,
one is almost compelled to invest in
bit of hickory or blue drilling during
cold snaps. These things cost money

Jordan Valley Correspondence.

JORDAN VALLEY, OGN., July Is, 1891.
Editors Nugget:
The non-appearance of my letters for
period is due to several causes. Prom
inent among them was notice from the
landlady where / am boarding, that |
must go to work and make some effort
to reduce long-standing board bill. l
tried to stand her off, or rather the
board bill, by telling her had lots of
rich relations living who we're liable to
peg out at any time and leave me vast
amount of money. tIncredulous wom-
an" She said my people would die just
the same if l was at work, and that she
would feel so much safer. Therefore,
with the exception of couple of days
which l whiled away in DeLamar cele-
brating Americas greatest holiday, l
have formed such industrious habits
that have not had tine to give you the
births, marriages and female scrapping
matches that have taken place in this
vicinity for the last several weeks.
1t is hotter than blazes, and the mer-
curry has got lower down than Demo-
cratic politician.
John Catlow, an old veteran of Owy-
bee, was in the valley last weak.
]. R. Blackaby has charge of the Bax-
ter store.
Why don't some enterprising man
start store in Jordan Valley? Moth
ing for sale here in the stores but liver
pills and axle grease.
Injuns Injuns There are more
Injuns here than grasshoppers in Cali
fornia. Somebody between this place
and War Eagle mountain has been
selling them whisky. Now a lot of
drunken Indians is about the worst COM
binaton of ingredients on the surface
of the earth, except dried apple pies
and nitro glycerine. If white folks ex-
pect to get along peaceably with the red
men they should keep them and whis-
ky entirely separate Ifsone peaceably
white man should shoot 45-
calabre bnlletinto an Indian, ,crszed with
whisky, and the doctor couldn't find
the bullet with ifteen-inch probe,
what are you going to do about it?
The buzz and hum of the industrious
machine can be heard through
out the valley. Although the cutting
was delayed by the wet weather the
crop will be very good.
Tim Shea is cutting his crop of rye in
Splitrock Basin for hay. 1t is the heayi-
est crop your Cor. has heard of to date.
A man who came by there the other
day told me that the only evidence he
had that Shea was cutting, was the rat
tie of the mower and the commotion
among the tops of the rye as the team
was passing along. If any one doubts
tbe- story | can show the very spot
stood when the man told me.
Yours with more caution and circum-
spect than formerly. MALHEUR.

Messrs. n. Merriam, of Omaha, and J..
A. McGee, of Nampa, paid visit to De-
Lamar, Silver City and Flint last week
to get more definite ideas concerning
the much talked of project of building a
north and south railroad to connect our
mining districts with the great timber
country on the upper Payette. This was
Mr.. Merriam's first visit to any Idaho
mining regions, and, previous to COM
ing here, he and'Mr. McGee took four
hundred mile drive through Washing
ton and Idaho counties, where they saw
enough timber, they declare, to supply
all of Idaho for a generation or more.
Our mining industry here was an equal
surprise to that gentleman and he ex-
presses himself as wonderfully pleased
with our new and fourishing state, pre-
dieting for it most prosperous future.
Mr.. NJ. is engaged in the banking busi-
ness in Omaha and is proprietor of the
new bank recently opened in Nampa.
Mr.. MCGEE, before coming to Idaho,
was engaged in the lumber business on
the Susquehana, in Pennsylvania, and
competent judge of timber lands. He
says the best acre of timber he ever saw
in Pennsylvania would bear no compar-
ison with the average of the timber
lands of central Idaho.

LOCAL ITEMS.
To Appear in the Nugget in 1898

/
One sometimes can't most always tell
what may happen two years in advance,
but in 1898 it is probable that few
items like the following will interest
our home readers:
The north and south railroad is now
completed to point just this side of the
across the gulch on Louise creek is near
ly completed and the Cantilever bridge
in Boulder canyon is well under way.
The contractors are now grading up
South Mountain Creek, and the line is
expected to be fLished to the South
Mountain Sampling Works early in Oc-
tober.T big Garfield mill will turn
on steam Monday. That company's
ore houses are chock full and the miners
working in the Slopes have been laid
off, The DeLamar Co. will not run
their big water mill on Sunday for some
time to come, but will allow the water
to run in the creek channel one day in
in the week to preserve the health of the
town.-The new town of Farmer, on
Cow creek, which has been putting on
airs for the past few days, because tenn
porariy the terminus of the railroad,
can take a tumble after next Thursday /;
the trains will, after that day, run to
the Bessie Dee mill.-Ten bars of bull
-. ro;oh;no 10 XII o,roao and ,,ol,,o1
at S36, ,329, were shipped from the Stod-
dard mill on Monday, the result of two
weeks run. The South Mountain and
Flint companies are now delivering
their concentrates to the railroad at
Farmer station on Cow creek. As soon
as the platform at Scales big arastra is
completed they will unload at that
point, saving five mile haul."The
smelling company at Caldwell will COM
mence enlarging their capacity at once;
the Seven Devils and South Mountain
ores work together so perfectly that
demand is made for more capacity or

MINING NUGGETS.

Ten thousand two hundred and forty
three ounces of bullion, in six bars,
were shipped out from the DeLamar
mill on Saturday. The value ofthe ship
ment was Sl7,5o0. Only partial clean
up was made.
The mill maD, by way of experiment,
has been using a solution of blue stone
for some time which does not precipi-
tate as much copper, to be taken up by
the bullion, as the blue stone formerly
used, hence the bullion now is higher
grade than former shipments.
Notice has been received here that the
DeLamar Mining Company has declared
quarterly dividend at the rate of if
teen per cent per year. This is consid-
cred a very good starter for the first
three months possession of the proper
ty, and fully jnstiies the premium at
which the stock is now going, to say
nothing of anticipations of much larger
dividends.

Patience under adverse circumstances
will often bring about favorable results,
while complaint often ccentuates and
fixes the cause of complaint. Avoid
mention of the disagreeable things that
may come into your life. If you cannot
be patient you can at least be silent.
The secret of success lies not SO much
in knowing what to say in what to avoid
saying.
