LEO TO THE PILGRIMS.


The Pope Bids Courteous Farewell to His
English Visitors.
ROME, Feb 27.-The Pope made courte-
GUS farewell, to-day, to the pilgrims from
England. His Holiness said that he hoped
soon to see England once more a Catholic
country. The faithful, his Holiness said,
ought TO pray for the speedy consummation
of this hope. of which there were already
many signs. The Pope warmly commended
the lofty spirit of justice shown by the
Queen and Parliament in granting to all
Catholics of her Majesty's vast empire CON-
plete freedom of religion. At the close of
the audience his Holiness was borne
through the corridors of the Vatican. in
which the pilgrims ranged themselves.
The Pontif. as he passed, held ont his
hand. the pilgrims kissing his ring. The
Pope has appointed DR.. Laffoni his body
physician.
The Pope has invited Cardinal Vaughan
and Cardinal Togue to remain in Rome
and attend the celebration of the anni-
versary OF his coronation, which took place
ON March 8, 1873
The Rev. Jesse Albert Locke. formerly
Episcopal clergyman In New York city,
who recently announced his conversion to
the Roman Catholic Church, Is here. He
Will soon enter the service OF the Church of
Rome.
The Waldenses May Come 10 America
PARIS, Fob. 27.-The Waldenses. the. de-
scendants of the famous sect which was
cruelty prosecuted for centuries on account
of their religious opinions. and who still
inhabit the mountain tract on the Italian
side of the Cottian Alps. where their
ancestors held out against their persesecu.
tors, propose to emigrate to America. Their
staple business of oloth-making has be-
come much depressed. and. even with their
frugality, they find 1t difficult to live The
pastors of the Waldensian congregations
convened In synod to consider the question.
and resolved to send two delegates to North
Carolina to inquire regarding the prospects
of settlers in that State. The Waldenses
are hardy and thrifty people, retaining
IN q remarkable degree the virtues of their
heroic ancestors. II the reports from the
delegates should be favorable the two
thousand Waldenees will emigrate to
North Carolina In the spring.

Mr.. T. A. Bennett, one of the man.
ayers of Che Mining and Financial
Trust, of London, spent day during the
week with Capt. Plummer in DeLamar.
Mr.. B. is now on his way home after an
absence Of eighteen months on visit
to mines in southern Australia. Com
ing here directly from southern lati-
tude and arriving during an Owyhee
storm, the weather, to his and Capt.
PlummeTc extreme regret, prevented
him from visiting some of the promising
mining properties in this neighbour
hood.

The new hosting works, now com
pleted on the DeLamar company's prop
srty. are constructed for the purpose Of
sinking shaft from the surface down to
the mill tunnel level. This tunnel starts
In just above the level of the ore house
OF the present mill and, when complet-
ed, will cut the vein series 1872 feet,yer-
tically, below the VAIL tunnel and 100
feet under the summit Eventually ore
will be delivered at the mills by track
IN this tunnel, which will reach the
first of the series of veins at distance
of $500 feet. This is laying out work
which it will take years to complete, but
will make the mine development very
complete as low as the creek level. 1t
IS seldom that whole group of mines
can be worked to such a depth without
employing hosting machinery.

An important deal has been abou,
contaminated which will in very few
days start work on an extensive
and comprehensive plan on the group
of mines on DsLamar mountain, popu-
larly known asthe Lsplsy group, com-
prising the Chantauqua, Manhattan,
Howe-Manhattan, Beck and three
other claims, and fractional claims, all
located in one compact group on the
summit of the mountain, next west of
and adjoining the DeLamar mines. All
OF these properties are located just
where one travelling about the noun
tain would naturally locate the center
of the greatest mineral deposits. Con-
siderable work has been done upon
them but no depth has been reached,
and as the ground near the surface is
considerably broken and misplaced, al
though large bodies of ore have been
found the walls of the lodges have not
been defined. When depth has been
reached there is scarcsley shadow of a
doubt but what the group will prove to
be an immensely valuable property.
We are not fully informed as to the
particulars of the deal, but understand
that Wisconsin capitalists, among whom
are expert miners, have secured a
working bond upon the properties for
considerable length of time, for which
they are to begin work within very
few days and continue it with large
force Of men during the term of their
option.
Messrs. Lepley, Davies, Kent, Smith,
Howe and others, all citizens of De-
Lamar aud Silver City, are the owners
of these valuable properties.
We hope the capitalists who are now
going to exploit them have the nerve
to sink deep shaft at some favorable
point on the property. We havs seen
enough shallow tunneling done on our
grand old bullion producing mountain
70 convince the NUGGEr pxert that that
IS not good mining

opening up of rich body of ore in the

Messrs. McGerry, Wills & Miller. A
weeks further development has some
what increased the Importance of the
discovery The rich tale streak in
which are found small nuggets OF silver
has widened out, and the four feet Of
hard quartz is apparently growing
richer. This is one of string of claims
on the southwest side of the mountain
which are very promising.

Samples of Ignite coal are on exhibit
ton In Boise City, from the newly de-
veloped mines at Horseshoe Bend,
which are almost equal to Rock Springs
coal. If the quantity is there, which
from the estimates of Messrs. Schemer-
horn and Purdum, we have no reason to
doubt, this coal field will become an i'm
portant factor in securing tho building
of the Nampa and Silver City Railroad
and extending the same north to these
coal fields, and the great Idaho timber
bolt.

All of next week Julius Isay is going
to slash prices on overcoats, suits and
pantaloons. He will just shut his eyes
and never stop to consider the sacrifices
he is making. He has an immense stock
of clothing on hand and it must go. He
needs the room for other goods. There
will be no excuse for going through an
other mountain storm without warm
overcoats when you can buy them at al
most your own figures, as he will GER
tainly dispose of his surplus stock in
this line in one week. Terms strictly
cash. Look out for a slash in another

We have always had great admira-
ton for the pluck and energy Of the
business men of Caldwell. One don't
have to 90 there to get acquainted with
them, for one can find them anywhere
where business is to be hunted for. A
brief visit there last week, after an abb
sence Of two years, revealed to US evil
dences Of energy and thrift we had not
expected to see. The metropolitan
character of their business houses was
genuine surprise. The s. NJ. Coffin
Commercial Company, the NJ. B. Gwinn
Mercantile Company, Isidor Mayer,
Stiles and Dunbar, H. c. Sebree and the
First National Bank all baye quarters
which would look well in big city.
Then Caldwell supports good paper
and that counts long way in finding a
reason for the towns prosperity.

Re Christened.

Louise creek is not a very polite name
to bestow upon pure mountain stream
the waters OF which are as sweet and
palatable az any found anywhere. The
early Owyhes prospectors were not
blessed with an abundance Of politeness,
however, and to soma OF them the name
can be credited. Years ago this name
shocked the sensitive ears ofthe NuaeEr
editor, and his scientific turn of mind
suggested to him the idea OF rs-christ-
ening the stream by calling it Pedicu-
lus creek. But bad name, given even
to dog, will stick. Afterwards Capt.
Plummer, possibly remembering some
incident of his earlier mining expert
once, found the name hateful to him.
and called it Parasite creek. His effort
at bestowing a name proved no more
successful than ours Last fall NJ ssrs.
Brand and Muir. of London, visited the
great property of which the latter is
president and the former IAN M. p, is a
director, and uoon their return home
they made comprehensive and practi-
cal business report of their visit, to the
shareholders. In this report it was nee
essary to mention this beautiful noun
tain torrent and the crystal springs at
its head Of course such word it would
not do to put in report which would
be read by the elderly spinsters and
other polite people who draw regular
quarterly dividends from DeLamar
shares. The writer imagines he can see
these two gentlemen putting their
heads together to discuss plan to dodge |
the vulgar word. They did it, however
not like the fellow spelled blind pig |
with two letters by punching the eye
out of the pig, but by giving the para
site an eye. 1t is Louise creek now, and |
nothing but this name hereafter goes in
the polite columns of the NUGGET.
Thanks, gentlemen, for this exhibition
of real genius. When you. come here
again yon shall have another days shoot
ing with Bachelor to point out the fa-
vorite haunts of black-tai deer; and if

FRIEND HEFNER:--
This is one of
the most beautiful sections of the
country, you, or anyone else ever
laid eyes on, with good soil and
water, and in my opinion is des-
tined to be one of, if not the great
est farming sections Of the cOun-
try when some feasible and eX-
tensive plan of irrigation is put in
operation, which ] think will sure
ly be done in the near future. This
whole plains country is underlaid
with what is supposed TO be an
inexhaustible supply of pure fresh
water, and in this country at an
average depth Of fifty feet, and the
problem to solve is to raise the
water and irrigate the land, which
owing to its level character, could
easily be done, and is now being
done on a small scale by wind
mills. | have seen finer gardens
here, with all kinds of vegetables
than it is possible to grow in Har
din county. Everything in the
way Of vegetables or grain, as well
as fruit, that has been experiment
ed with, does well here, with the
possible exception of corn. Land
is cheap and there is room fol
thousands, come out, bring your
knitting and grow up with the
country. We are having fine
sport hunting antelope, and we are
now going to the canon "loadet
