1t is learned that the report is in
circulation in Middle valley that the
SIGNAL published derogatory item
regarding the convention at Middle
valley, mentioning something about
jack rabbits in connection with a
barbecue. The person who appears
to be most active in circulating the
report is not and never has been Il
subscriber to the SIGNAL, though he
manages to read it regularly. He
has never had any dealings with this
office in any shape and has no cause
whatever to promulgate an injurious
libel upon us. Those who read the
SIGNAL regularly know that it never
has had anything to say against the
peoples party or its adherents, and
those who do not are so informed.
Furthermore, this is the first issue
since the convention was held, and
all we have ever said regarding the
occasion can be found herein.

A proposed amendment to sect

A proposed amendment to section
Z, of the constitution has been run
ming in the SIGNAL for the past few
weeks. The section as it now reads
is given. below and by comparing it
with the proposed amendment, to be
found in another part of the paper,
you will readily see the difference:
"Sec. 7. The officers provided by
section six (6) of this article shall
receive annually as compensation for
their services as follows. Sheriff, not
more than four thousand dollars and
not less than one thousand dollars,
together with such mileage as may
be prescribed by law; clerk of the
district court, who is ex-oflicio
auditor and recorder, not more than
three thousand dollars and not less
THAI five hundred dollars probate
judge, who is ex-officio county
superintendent of public instruction,

To listen to the opinions advanced
by some people there is nothing
more at stake in this campaign than
the offices. That is, however, not
the way the party platforms strike
the average reader. Party platforms
are the official declarations of their
party's intentions, and being such it
is difficult to see how any man can
fail to see some very plain issues in
this campaign.
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1892-10-06

At last all the tickets are out and
every one ought to be able to put up
a list of officials to his taste. He can
have any of the three straight, or he
can have a mixture. Some like a
big slice of republican with peoples
party and democratic trimmings. A
sandwich Of democrat and republican
with thin slice of populist in the
middle suits the political palate Of
Others. Some prefer about equal
amounts of peoples party and
democrat, without any republican,
while others will take republican with
a democratic stick in it. There are
some good men on each of the tickets,
men whom we have known since
coming to Idaho and against whom
nothing can be said of disparaging
nature, and for some of the offices it
will be hard to make a choice when
it comes to voting. There are some
men, also, on the tickets who appear
to be strays. We have looked
through our subscription list three
times and cannot find any information
regarding them. Will somebody
please round up these strays and let
us look at them? Let us see what
they are like, so that the SIGNAL may
know what to do when it comes to
voting, and what to say when our
friends, of which we assure you we
have good many, ask us about them.
Hurry up and herd them in. Same
subscription rates offered to candi-
dates as to other persons.

1t lisa mighty poor recommendation
fora man who aspires to office, that
he is not interested enough in the
community to take his county paper.
Before voting for any man learn some
thing about his habits, character and
principles. A man who is not
interested in his county doings and
affairs is not entitled to office.

Secretary Rusk's official pro-

fully open now that the National

trouble to find Il purchaser.

Frank Crosson has decided not to
compete for the prize for drilling in the
contest at the Worlds Fair. a few days
since he visited one of the crosscut tun-
nels being driven in the DeLamar
mountain, in company with a lady of
this place, and while watching the
workmen made wager of ten dollars
with his companion that she could not
strike drill ten consecutive minutes
without resting or missing the drill.
Frank lost. The hammer used was a
44-pound one and the result of the work
a six-inch hole in pretty hard rock. The
ten-spot was yielded up and Crosson
proposed to give an exhibition of how
MEN drill, but the fates were against
him and the second lick he missed the
drill and famed his hand. If you want
cigar just ask Frank his opinion of
handbook drilling.

In the Belfast tunnel, on the Phillips
& Sullivan mine, on Florida Mountain,
the vein has been cut about 300 feet
south of the ore shoot on the upper
level and at a much greater depth.
The ore here is showing up very rich,
SURPRISING in value any former find.
Specimens seen by the NUGGET expert,
show masses of wire and coarse gold
and are very rich. Our expert did
not ascertain the width of the vein, but
judging from what he has heard it is
one of the best strikes made on that
mountain. Messrs. Phillips & Sullivan
are now hauling ore from the upper
working to the Silver City Reduction
Works for treatment and everything
about the mine indicates activity and
prosperity.

A visit to the Black Jack mine on
Florida Mountain by NUGGET expert,
found the men busy sacking and weigh
ing rich ore for shipment. They have
now drifted south on the shoot of ore 80
feet with good ore still in the face.
This shoot was cut at greater depth
than any other workings in the mount
ain, and both walls are in granite, thus
demonstrating that the lodges on this
mountain do not, as many have thought,
stop in the porphyry which caps all of
the west side of the mountain. raise
of 80 feet has been made in the drift
and the ore continues good. A Wine
