Years, and who went to Wyoming early
last spring to fight for the Stock Associ-
alton against the rustlers, was captured
and subsequently reported to have been
hanged, has bobbed up again with his

from Cheyenne to the Salt Lake Tri-
bune, under date of the 18th inst. bears
witness
The sensation Of the campaign in this

Dunning, an Idaho man, who says be
hired out to go into Johnson county
with the eattlemen last 4 pril and assist
in the killing of rustlers. Dunning de-
clares that he was told by the man who
engaged him that the Governor, Judge
of the District Court, Attorney General,
United States Senator and other promi-
nent. men, all Republicans, were behind
the movement and in entire sympathy
with it, John Wesley Blake, the Judge
implicated by Dunning, has addressed a
letter to the Democratic Committee
threatening suit if the libel against him
is distributed He rebukes them for ac-
cepting and using the statement. All

their signatures any connection what
ever with it.

EDITOR NUGGET II read a commune
cation in your paper last week over the
signature of thing that srbscribes him
self "Malheur.n / will make a brief re-
ply to that scurrilous letter and in doing
SO | trust that my sentiments will be en-
dorsed by great many persons
of my sex. Mr.. editor, in your remarks
on that letter you stated that the author
was either a sour old bach or hem
pecked husband, in which, no doubt,
you were half right. That he is sour
ole bach is quite evident from his writ
ings. Because | don't believe that man
who would write such letter ever was
hen-pecked, from the fact that he could
find a woman, outside of an insane asy-
lum. foolish enough to have him.
Your correspondent says that the wo-
men are mora vain than men that they
spend portion of their time before a
looking glass; that they stuff and pad
themselves in order to deceiye their ad-
mirers and that their age was never yet
discovered by census enumerator.
Now | claim to be candid woman and
in regard to the stufing and padding
business l don't deny it; but when it
comes to my age | am going to state
right here that am just rising of forty
six and l don't care who knows it.
still enjoy single blessedness and [ as
sure you, Mr.. editor, it is an enjoyment
when | look around and see SO many
married women that are ill-treated by
what some people claim is their lord
and master. OF course there are some
good men in this world, but it has been
my i'll fortune to have never met but
very few of them and what few | have
met were married men. Sour old bach
elors are altogether too numerous in
this world, and there should be law
passed to make some disposition of
them. For instance, how would lido to
have an imbicile bachelors retreat?
Malheur objects to unattractive old
maids bringing the object of their admi-
ration to their feet and says it would
show too much servility. There is no
serviity about it. 1t is simply carrying
out time honored custom and l, for
one, am in favor of perpetuating that
custom as long as this earth revolves on
its axes.
With difdence that is characteristic
ofmy sex refrain from writing my in
nermost thoughts on this subject, and
perhaps at some future time l may give
vent to my feelings.
Trusting that you will give this an in
sertion in your paper | am yours as
ever. Miss I. B. WILLING.

AN OPAL MINE.
Another Great Owyhee Co. Discovery

|
For month past there has been talk
here of the finding of opals in this coun-
ty, which we mentioned when we saw
the first specimens brought here, and
have refrained from saying anything
more about them until we had more
facts to present. tt now looks as if q
valuable mine of these gems was real
ity and new mining industry had come
to stay in Owyhee, already so rich in
minerals. Messrs. Tim Shirley and
Fred Bochman are the discoverers OF
this new find. 1t is located about 5 miles
from the Snake river hot springs, be-
tween Squaw and Hard Trigger creeks.
The gems are found in stratum of OBJ
sidian lava, everything deposit of hot
springs tufa or scoria. The gems are in
small incrustations or cysts in both the
tufa and lava. The stratum covers a
considerable area of ground and the
gems appear to be interspersed irregu-
larly through it. We have seen num-
Der of the stones, weighing from one to
ten carats. Some of them have very
beautiful flashes of fire and blue colors,
while others are dull white. They are
very irregular in shape and until cut
and polished only experienced experts
will be able to determine their true
value. Enough has, however, been dem
onstrated to prove that the stones exist
in great numbers and development may
make this one of the most important
mines in the county. Three shovel
fulls of crushed rock is said to have
yielded seventeen stones.
Messrs Phil Host and H. G. Anchor,
of this place, have purchased an inter-
est in one of these claims and, both be-
ing first class miners, they will no doubt
develop the property Systematically.
The mine is in location where there
is but little snow falls and work can be
carried on all winter.
LATER.-Since the above was written
Mr.. Anchor has exhibited one small
stone which he had sent East and had
cut. Several sentemen have seen it
among whom was an expert in the value
of opals, who pronounced it as fine
specimen as he had ever seen of its
size. Turn it in any light one may the
fire flashes and colors are superb and
brilliant. Mr.. A. has sent number of
others to New York labidaris from whom
reports are daily looked for. Ifs fair
percentage of them prove to be as fine
as the one exhibited, opal mining will
become a prominent Owyhee industry.

Some of our friends have remonstrat-
ed with us for telling the truth about
the depressed condition of mining,
caused by the low price of silver.
"What good does it do to tell it," say
they. We don't know for certain that
it will do any good, but we are sure it
won't do any harm, Hiding the truth
won't change the situation anv,o make
times any better that much is sure.
On the contrary telling the truth may
aid in removing the evil. The biggest,
fattest, most prolific breeder and father
of curses on earth is lie. His first
cousin is strangled or hidden truth.

WOMEN IS LIBRARIANS.

An official statement has been sent
to the Pittsburg Dispatch by Mary
Salome Cutler of salaries paid to all
the women employed in twenty-fo four
of tho most prominent libraries in the
country, prominent for their size, wise
administration aud efficiency.
Three hundred aud eighty women
are employed in twen,y-four promi-
nent libraries. receiving from S240 to
$1,000, an average salary Of S57O
This includes work of all grades and
the average is greatly reduced by the
largo number required to do mechani-
cal work in comparison with the few
needed for supervisory and indcpend-
ent work.
Thirteen women of recognized
ability, trained as apprentices in large
libraries or in the school of expert
ence. receive from $3.50 to $4,000, an
average salary of $500. The 81
women trained in the Library School
which was opened in 1887 receive
from 5000 to $1,000, an average salary
of 5000. The 13 highest salaries paid
10 Library School women average
SlU90. Seven women as librarians of
State libraries receive from S625 to
$1,000, an aversge salary of $1,000.
The "a men filling similar positions
receive an average salary Of S1450.
"A woman occupying a subordinate
position In library, where faithful
ness, accuracy and fair knowl edge
of books are the only essentials, can
expect from $500 to $500. A good
cataloguer, or librarian with average
ability and training, can expect to re-
ceive from 5000 to 5000. A woman
with good natural ability and fitness
for the work, with liberal education n
and special training, can expect $1,000
at tho head of library, or of de-
partment in a large library, with q
possible increase to $1,000 or $4,000.
Women rarely receive the same pay
as men for the same work.

A CURE FOR MTLDEw.

"What is good cure for mildcw in
clothes?" writes q friend. The best
thing is to use the ounce of preven-
ton in tinc. When the evil is done,
however, there is no use in crying
over spilled milk, though it must be
admitted that any agent powerful
enough to remove mildew or blue
mold from linen is apt to injure the
fabric. A solution of the chloride Of
lime, such as may be used for bleach
ing, is perhaps the best remedy. A
tablespoonful should be dissolved in a
gallon OF cold wafer, by stirring with
wooden stick. Soak the injured
garment in this preparation, moving
it about occasionally till the stains are
no longer visible, then rinse very
thoroughly, changing the water several
times.-[New York News.

FASHION NOTES.

Caters are the correct thing.
Giace batiste Is now fabric for
gowns.
Stone-soled shoes are made for
active boys.
More trimming is observed in the
front of hats.
The broad square toe is conspicuous
by its absence.
The newest ornament is q diamond
shaped buckle.
Many puckered effects are seon in
new cotton goods.
In buying fancy silks all-over de-
signs should bc chosen.
Old-timo lawns and organdy muslins
are in delightful demand.
Drab waistcoats spotted with pink,
and flecked with white and tints of
blue and fawn, are wonderfully
effective.
Four tin,s are used in some party
dresses, as yellow, blue, pink, green !;
yellow dominating.
Flounces of graduated widths and
tiny overlapping bias ruifles will trim
many of the new skirts, If one may
Judge from the character Of the latest
modes.
Dots, checks, flowers and numerous
other devices are woven in the new
ginghams, which show such dainty
colors as canary, pea-green, heliotropc,
pale blue and pink.
Full bibs of Irish point lace attached
to standing collars formed of over
tapping folds Of null or crepe de
chine are worn by many fashionable
women. They sometimes reach
several inches below the waist-liue
and are caught to position, the fullness
being punched under narrow girdle,
a long metal clasp or a section OF
handsome passementerie.
AS pointed girdles are just now
counted the height of good style, the
shirt blouse will be very generally
chosen instead Of the vest for travel
ling, for outdoor sports, aud for more
or less ceremonious indoor wear. A
new blouse of this kind is presented
and is very effective, whether seen be
meath coat-basque or with an opei

In the oven. For this purpose, boil a
bunch Of fine asparagus for twelve

tablespoonful of fresh bread crumbs
over the top with tablespoonful Of

Some little women are heavier in
mounting than sack of mcal,' and
others of greater avoirdupois aud no

can lift woman bodily into saddle,

worst preparations for ride is the
irritation caused man by having to
exhaust his strength in mounting his
partner.
There are many methods of holding
the reins. Provided the curve and
snafllc reins are kept so distinct that
each can be quickly shortened or
heightened any method is good. The
fashion of the day is to ride with both
hands, but woman's horse should
guide by the neck or bit at will. To
be unable to ride readily with one
hand is an absurdity. In any case,
hold the hands low.
When the seat is straight and strong
the hands can be as light as the horses
mouth. The perfection of riding is to
accomplish everything with as slight
muscular effort as possible. The bit
should be such as to prevent the horse
from boring on your hands and yet
not make him restless. The adjustment

is matter requiring much Judgment
aud experience. Every horse has his
peclliarities.
In company, keep together. Moth.
ing is so annoying as TO have your
companion ahead of or behind you
half the time. Companions should
ride as they walk, side by side. One
of the charms Of equestrianism, con.
versatlon enlivened by the brisk
motion and suggestive surroundings,
is quite lost unless you keep together.
Good riders can chat at rapid trot or
an inspiriting canter as we'll as at q
walk, because, whatever their gait,
they remember that they ride for com.
panship as well as exercise. Lack OF
familiarity with saddle work is quick
ly betrayed by tho failure to keep
abreast
Dismounting Is about as easy q:
getting out of carriage. It may be
done gracefully or ungracefully. A,
active woman can slide to the ground
without assistance. BE sure youl
skirts arc clear of your horse and
your feet clear of everything. The
rest comes readily.--[New York Sun.
