are producing lots of good ore to be
milled this coming season.
Snowshoe-ing seems to be all the
rage here for the young peoples

There was surprise party at the
Mayilower mine last week. The
whole town of Warrens turned out
and came up on snowshoes. A very
enjoyable time was had dancing,
Playing cards, telling stories, &c.

with Mr.. - Wiley, in Missouri, who
is prosperous farmer worth some
$50, 600 or $40, 600. After my

wish it well.

New stools.

The SIGNAL bas placed several new
stools in its office in preparation for

OF flowers and crown lying on it is

Mr.. Lang has great faith in the flu
ture Of Mineral, but is not boomer.
He desires to see the camp move ahead
just as fast as merit will warrant and
feels confident that prosperous flu
ture is in store for the district. Prof.
Lang is far-seein,, mining man who
klows a good thing when he sees it
and his close adherence to Mineral
speaks volumes in favor of that camp.
If Mineral did not show both richness
and permanency in its mines Prof.
Lang would not identify himself with
the district as he has done.

Transcript: Agent D. c. Chase
last week informed us that he had
refused an offer of SO, 600 from
Boise City parties for his fine forty
acre tract of land lying just below
and adjoining town and near the
depot. This is beautiful tract of
land and is very valuable, and this
sounds like very big price for it to
us, but Mr. Chase thinks it of more
value to him and therefore refused
the offer. Who dares to have the

An exchange says; While your
home paper must of necessity be an
individual enterprise, it fills such a
peculiar channel in the business and
commercial world that it is to large
measure a protege to the people.
You must give it aid and all that you
can in order that it can the more ably
represent your interest abroad. The
editor might devote all his time and
four-ifths of his space each issue to
favorably presenting the advantages,
yet the header would naturally turn
to the advertising columns, and seeing
the dwarfted spirit of the business
men, sensibly concludes that was a
good town to keep away from.
