The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1892-07-16

Mrs. II. ID. Blatchiey started last
Wednesday evening for Chicago where
she has gone for medical treatment
In spite of the efforts of our best local
talent and Portland specialists she has
been gradually on the decline for the
past year ana she now goes to try the
most skilled treatment that money
will buy in this country. The entire
town earnestly hopes that she may soon
| find relief.
Mrs. i. G. Hill and son Stan. left last
Thursday morning for Jordan Valley,
to join the husband and father. 1t is
with deep regret that the many friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hill see them depart.
but they find consolation in the fact
that they expect to return in six
months or a year. Mr.. Hill is closing
out the Little T. Athearn store at .Jor
dan Valley, for the S. NJ Coffin Com
mercial Co. We recommend them to
the good people of Jordan Valley as
valuable citizens.
The citizens of Mountain Home
quietly told the Japs shipped in there
to take the place of white labor on the
section that they had better look for a
climate more congenial to their COM
plsxlons, as the atmosphere of Noun
tain Home was liable to become too
warm for their comfort. 1t is not
probable that the Japs thanked the
thoughtful citizens for their kind ad-
vice, but they got out of town in short
order, just the same. The railroad
company has put white labor on the
section and peace reigns supreme at
Mountain Home. Her reign is not
quite so secure at other stations where
the Japs have recently displaced
white labor, however.
1.-THE TRIBUNE acknowledges a very
pleasant call from A. DUTIES, of Nampa,
last Monday. Mr.. DUTIES is the pioneer
citizen of Nampa. having located there
before the town was known. He
always had faith in the future of the
place, and invested his money there
when people called him crazy. He is
now reaping the benefits of his nerve
and sagacity. He says the railroad
proposition from Nampa to Silver Citv,
is looking bright. and tina, while moth
ing as yet is assured, the scheme is
taking more cheerful prospect than
they had hoped for. The report
Major Wickersham was favorable to
Immediate construction, and all now
depends upon the coming survey. i
Mr.. James Fowler, of this city. a
civil engineer of acknowledged ability,
has been placed in charge of survey
to be made for the Boise and Butte
Railway Co., and will start next Tues
day for Boise City. He will take as
assistants from this place, VIM. Hesse.
Jack Anderson, W. S. Maxey, Dan Kel-
leher and Harry Mimick, and will PICK
up other help at Boise City. He has also
telegraphed for Ed Hedden, we'll known
in Caldwell, who is expected to arrive
next Monday. Mr.. Fowler informs
THE TRIBUNE that the projectors of
this railway have some $4,000 or
S0O,OOO ing in Boise City bank. to
invest in surveys. He expects the lob
to last from one to five years if prac-
tlcable route is found. This begins to
look like business.
Charlie Mitchell hands TIE TRIBUNE
the following result of the last assays
made from one of his Willow creek
mines: No. l, sl4O7 per ton gold and
silver; No. 2, ss3.57; No. 8, s52s.ls.
MIR. Mitchell has been operating in
the Willow creek country for the past
two months and has made ten locations
all showing up about the same in the
assay. In one of the locations in
which DIR. Maxey, of Caldwell, has an
interest, tunnel is being run to tap
the ledge at depth. This tunnel is in
about 30 now and is calculated to strike
the vein at % feet. 1t is thought that
this will be done by next week and it
will then be demonstrated whether or
not the Lodges in that country hold
good as they go down. We hope that
these enterpriSing gentlemen will strike
1t rich as they will immediately 90 i'm
for extensive work.
