The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1892-01-04

Up at the mine on the mountain the
Cornish miners have organized a glee
club, which is now one of the most en-
tertaining institutions of the camp.
With several good voices, and flute ac-
compartment, they make up choir Of
which any town might well be proud.
On New Years afternoon the entire club
came down town and sang at the com
pany's Office, where the company's man
ager joined one of the singers in duet,
after which they sang several songs in
the hotel and then called upon and sang
for one or two families. They, of course
did not forget the NUGGET Office in their
calls and quietly filed into the sanctum
and sang for the two busy occupants one
eff their sweetest selections. The MUG
GET men are proud of them.

Gradually the signs of dull times are
gathering in cloud of gloom over the
neither end of the town of DeLamar,
sometimes satirically but unjustly called
Toughtown. The beast with the vel
vety claws, which has been won't to
lure victims TO his lair, must now be hi
bernating, for the voice of his dealer is
no longer heard saying sect your
money down, gentlemen !" and Jimmy
Hicks, the bone doctor, and the decept-

frequently seen. Twenty-one is almost
forgotten and now cometh the an
nouncement that Tim Carroll and Char
ley Dolan have both put up their shut
tiers to remain up until the festive wood
choppers and the persistent prospectors
make another stake next spring. Just
think Of it! Only three places left in
that gay and festive end of town where
the weary wanderer and the SQUAD of
miners, out on a lark, can wet their
whistles or gather the inspiration for a
hurrah time. But then, the big mill
keeps on grinding out bullion the
great mine of the camp is reported
richer than ever the NUGGET is daily
adding to its subscription list more
people in town are engaged to be mar
ried; the baby crop is growing, land pen-
pie must try and worry along until sun
shine and chinooks wipe away the

1t was dismal, cold, stormy night
when the bride and groom first stopped
in their new home. But storms have no
terrors for Toughtown buns when they
can locate claim which they think
they can work for whisky. They came
out in force and armed with tin cans.
They found couple that could stand
the noise longer than they could
stand the cold, and they had to retire
without drink But the next night
was not 80 bad, and they had enlisted
for the campaign. Like the traditional
bad penny they returned. Desperation
made them determined. Desperation or
Tonghtown tanglefoot made them nois-
Ter than ever. Their noise made the
groom hot The hotter he got the
noisier they became. 1t finally became
question of endurance, and, while en-
durance remained a virtue, it was all
right. The groom yieldedr-not grace
fully-but be yielded all the same.
Some of the language employed when
the climax came was not fit for polite
ears, but, to the everlasting credit of
their tongues did not utter
any words which Jared the nerves of
those who heard them.

shores of the Baltic andthe home of

of this camp last August for spin in

an American than ever. Pete says he
had way up time ; stopped four days
in London, three in Paris, visited Ber-
lin, Frankfort-on-the-Ma Main, Cologne and
ever so many other places /; hob-nobbed
with mobiles and boosted that he be-
longed to the nobility, which was really
true, for is he not an American work
ingman and sovereign? That's what
an American miner can do-hold his
head up anywhere. He says when he
Travelled from London to Paris, with
some English mobiles, he told them he
did not care to sail under false colors
that he was only a horDy-handed son
OF toll, and they took to him all the
more for saying so, but could not under
stand how he could afford to travel like
a lord. The NUGGET reached him every
week in Copenhagen and, bringing news
from home, WAS wonderfully welcome

The New PRINCIPAL of Shepherd College.


We take the following compliment
tary notice from the Shenandoah, Va,
Press: "Prof. A. G.. Kimler, who has
been the principal of the New Market
Graded School for the past three
years, has accepted Il call to the prin-
cipalship of Shepherd College at
Shepherdstown West Virginia. He
left this week for his new field of
labor, and will Immediately go on u
lecturing tour through Hardy and
Pendleton counties, West Virginia, in
the interest of the school. Under
Prof. Kimler's untiring efforts the
New Market Graded School was forg-
ing to the front as school where
students could thoroughly tit them
selves for entering college and the
higher schools, and that his skillfpl
management of the school will be
missed goes without the saying. Be
tween the trustees of the school and
Prof. Kimler the warlnest friendship
existed; the patrons Of the school
have the kipdliest feeling for him,
and the resignation came solely from
the fact that the salary attached to
the principalship of the Shepherds
town school was large enough to in
duce the change. Prof Kimler will
carry with him to his new field of Ia
Dor the best wishes of his large mum
Der of friends here, and he and his

The Way They Catch Fish OF Harper's Ferry.
Here is remarkable fish story. 1t
is true one, too. One day this week
Master Forrest Littleiohn went out
in a skifr with two eycursionlsts, near
Island Park. As the boat moved
along Forrest amused himself by
thrusting stick into the water and
then flirting spray into the air with
it. Finally he determined to Guido
all previous efforts and brought the
stick from the water with all the
force he could command, and lol a
silvery something wentflying into the
air and then fell into the boat. 1t
was a bass, weighing about a pound
and half, and as it began to strug-
gle for liberty Forrest threw himself
nto the bottom OF the boat and final
ycaptured the fish, which was cooked
for his breakfast next morning.-SeH-

In a carefully prepared editorial
the Ner York Sun gave the result OF
thorough investigation OF the extent
OF the wheat crop of the whole world
for 1892. The worlds wheat supply
furnished by the maturing crop Is lar
smaller than that OF 1891 in the
United States, and in other countries
the average will be about the same.
The total outturn of wheat in the
limited States will be about 4SO, 0OO,Ooo
bushels. In 1891 it was about 6l2, OoO,-
600 bushels. showing a decrease this
wear of 1872, 100000 bushels, or about
20 per cent. The country will eat
about 8. 900, 900 bushels more this year.
Tins making the exportable supply
40 600, 900 bushels less than that OF
1891. 80
India has crop about oO,OOo,OOO
bushels below that OF last year; South
Americas yield equals that OF 1891, as
will Australasia's. The harvests oil

is from 10 to 10 per cent below the
nroduct of 1891. In Great Britain
the produet will be about lO,OOO,OOo

Russia, France and Belgium will
have larger crops than last year
Americas Weld is about the average
product based upon the past twelve

Just One Of the Surplus Gone.

Will Porter, bright and energetic
eolored lad about Il years old, went
bathing in the canal opposite Shep-
herdstown last Sunday afternoon. He
jumped in the water at a place where
it was very deep, and either because
he couldn't swim or because cramps
seized him, the boy gave a few inef-
fectual struggles and then sank to the
bottom. Two other colored boys who
were with him gave an alarm, but the
only thing that could be done was to
make an effort to recover the body.
About sunset ii was found. The life
less form was placed on litter, Il
sheet spread over it, and just at dusk
pathetic little procession slowly
wendell its way to an humble home
where a weeping mother mourned for
her child and refused to be comforted
The lad was given a decent burial on
Monday, with the help OF sympathetic
white folks.

LEW Hords about the Ere Enqines.

The members OF the Shepherd Fire
Department had the steamer out on
Tuesday evening for practice. 1t re-
auired ten minutes to get up steam
sufficient to throw water. This is con
siderably better than the night OF the
big fire couple of weeks ago, when
fifteen minutes elapsed before any
water was thrown upon the burning
stables. But we believe that the boys
can do still better than ten minutes.
At the test of the engine when 1t was
first bought the engine had 80 pounds
of steam in minutes, and at the end
of minutes she was throwing
water with 81 pounds of steam. Now,
with the proper sort of fuel there Is
10 reason why our tiremen should
not get plenty of steam in or min
utes. We are sure they can do 1t,
but practice is required and expert
ments must be made with fuel. 1t Is
conceded by the firenen themselves
that they do not have the best sort OF
fuel. and right here is where imme-
date reform should be made. The
first few moments Of any fire are the
dangerous ones, and every energy
should be devoted to getting the en-
CINE to work as soon aspessible. we
hope our boys will continue their eX-
periments with the engine until they
will get up to the siX-minute gait.
In this same connection, we think
it is an imperative duty Of Council to
have the hand-engine put in proper
repair. 1t is a really tirst-class ma
chine, practically useless because it
needs some slight repairs. II 1t Is put
in good order, and put at convenient
place, it will prove TO be of great
value. We have no doubt another
fire company would be organized to
run it, and then with competition be-
tween two the very best results would
be obtained. The Council at its meet
ing on Monday night appointed u
committee 10 inquire into the cost OF
the proposed repairs, and we hope
that the engine will be put in working
order.
