Tribute to Miners.

| The much-abused precious metal mir
person of E. c. Wach, who, in the June
Century Magazine, thus treats of his
virtues 4 "The early miner has never
been truly painted. protest against
the fiippant style and eccentric rhetoric
of those writer's who have made him q
terror, or who, seizing upon spasmod-
ic case of extreme oddity, some brawl-
ing wretch, have given caricature to
the world as the typical miner. The so-
called literature that treats of the golden
era is too extravagant in this direction.
In all my personal experience in min
ing camps from 1S49 to 1854 there was
not case of bloodshed, robbery, theft
or actual violence. | doubt if more
orderly society was ever known. How
could it be otherwise? The pioneers
were young, ardent, uncorrupted, most
of them we'll educated and from the best
families in the east. The early miner
was ambitious, energetic and enterpris-
ing. No undertaking was too great to
daunt him. The pluck and resources
exhibited by him in attempting mighty
projects with nothing but his courage
and his brawny arms to carry them out,
was phenomenal. His generosity was
profuse and his sympathy active-know-
ing no distinction OF race. His senti-
ment that justice was sacred was never
dulled. His services were at command
to settle differences peaceably, or with
pistol in hand to right grievous wrong
to stranger. His capacity for self gov
ernment never has been surpassed. OF
a glorious epoch, he was OF glorious
race.p

The NUGGET editors have received

The NUGGET editors have received a
letter from Capt. DeLamar since his ar
rival in London, which indicates that
that gentleman is in excellent spirits
and highly pleased with the outlook for
the future value of the stock in the
great property bearing his name. He
says that the stock being already quoted
at a premium of five shillings, on a very
close money market, is an evidence of
the confidence of the public in the gen.
tlemen who are managing the affairs of
the company. The captain went over
on the royal mail steamship, City of
Paris, which made the run from New
York to Liverpool in six days and nine
hours. He closes his letter as follows ::
~ will leave here about the 25th for
Holland, Belgium, Weisbaden and Paris
and hope to return to Gods country
early in the fall"

I. C. Martin, member of the late
Idaho legislature from Moscow, has been
discovered to be fine old hypocrite
and bigamist. He came to Idaho four
years ago with woman and all went
well with him until his name, as mem
ber of the legislature, came to the no.
tice of wife No. L, living in Iowa, with
family of grown up children. Martin
has now skipped for parts unknown
with wife No. 2. Last winter Martin
tried to rent Adams foundry in Silver
City, proposing to come there to reside.
Failure to get that kept him out of Owy-
hee.

The New DeLamar Road.

CALDWELL, June 27. On Tuesday
morning last, at 6 o. clock, We left Csld-
we'll with DeLamar as our objective
point, business our motive and NJ B.
Gwinn'e sorrels as our motive power.
Deciding to try the new road we left
the old trail just south Of the Phyllis
ditch, and reached the Warm Springs
ferry by direct and easy route The
way from there to the divide is simply
the grade of Wilson creek which it fol-
lows closely over good clay road bed.
and thence over the divide to the Rey-
nolds creek valley by grade that is
neither long nor bard from either di-
rection.
The remainder of the road to where
it intersects the old one at Reynolds
creek, near that postofice, is no more OF
q problem than similar distance on
Boise Valley.
The expedition proved to be dust.free,
pleasant and breezy, terminating at De-
Lamar at about o. clock p. M, making
tli46 tDdb W no COnoidOlC Cd W DCAokhoh-
ties as impossible by the old road. All
who have passed over the new route
agree that it lacks only little additional
work to make it first class mountain
road.
We have to complain of very cour-
teous treatment at the hands of the pec-
pie there, including a two-hours trip
through the DeLamar mine, with
guide, peep at some of the famous
lodges of that mine, free ride on the
tramway, and came away with hatful
of ideas and our shoes covered with pay
dirt.
Our homeward journey was begun on
Friday at 1870 p. %. and ended at Cald-
we'll al 1870 p. ri., satisfied that new
lateral bad tapped the main ditch finan-
cial and leading directly to the Golfers
of ldwel.-Cor. Caldwell Tribune.

Arizona has desert hundred miles
west of YumaiwhichIis some seventy feet
lower than the sea level. 1t has the
distinction of being the hottest place in
America. Water has recently broken
into it from some subteraneons source,
and there is now probability that a
lake, hundred miles long, will take the
place of the desert. This may perhaps
change the character of the surround
ing country and make it not only habit
able but fruitful. General Fremont, we
believe, once suggested cutting canal
into this desert from the Pacific.

Fl. A. Partridge returned from the

take 10000 tons of ore out, and work
will commence soon.-Nampa Leader.

The Glorious Fourah.

1t was great day the people of Della
mar had on the Fourth. The weather
was fine, just little too hot in the sun
shine, but otherwise perfect. All the
programme was carried out as planned,
only things were not very orderly ar
ranged and it was sort of go-as-you-
please kind of time. The quieter peo-
pie of the town, who, like the NUGGET,
believe that it is duty as well as a
pleasure to celebrate the nations birth
day anniversary by singing patriotic
songs, listening to patriotic speech and
the reading of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, at ten O'Clock assembled at
the scboolhouse, which was splendidly
and appropriately decorated for the oc-
casion, and heard the national airs sung
by an excellent improvised choir, and
listened to a fine oratioD, delivered by
Capt. J. K. Watson. Another, and much
larger crowd, climbed up the mountain
to witness the base ball game between
the Blazing Rag and the Hungry Nine
clubs. In the lower towns things were
decidedly lively all morning, the bars
and restaurants having all they could do
to stand off their crowds.
In the afternoon the races on the
short, and by no means good, track
came off according to programme, much
credit being due to Messrs. Bruce, Byole
and Freborn for the way they managed
affairs. The sporting editor of the MUG
GET having found, to him, more inter-
esting affairs to look after, we are un-
able to give full report of the races,
but as there were no records broken and
only one or two heads hurt the omission
is not a serious matter.
The event of the day, or rather of the
night, was the grand ball for which our
elegant big school room, with all the
furniture removed, was not half large
enough to accom- modate the merry
dancers. The ball was graced by the
presence of, not only all the best people
in town, but bvnumbers of young la
dies and gentlemen from Jordan Valley,
Reynolds Creek and Silver City. The
dance was kept up until twelve o'clock,
and, following precedent long ago set
by our National Congress, to keep
twelve O'Clock from breaking up the
party too soon, the clock by which the
hours were measured was set back about
two hundred and forty minutes The
dance was, altogether, delightful
affair, Notwithstanding the crush in the
far too crowded hall, and we believe
every body left it pleased with its sue
cess. The necessity of building large
hall here, which has been urged by the
NUGGET, is now only too palpable and we
hope TO see the move started soon.
To give a detailed account of all the
interesting happenings of the day and
night would require more space than we
can spare, hence we must be content to
forego further details.
