Every time the BULLETIN makes
a truthful reference to the humilia-
ting and ratified condition of the Re-
publican party in Elmore county
and their great desire to trade
everything for q majority of the
board of Commissioners--as was
agreed upon by three of the Rep.

Mr.. Howie's imported jackass from
W-a.h-o-o and more than thrice
perured grasshopper from Nebraska
can only reply through his puny
and doomed villifying sheet by re-
sorting to low and lying personal

TIN. Truly whom the goods would
destroy they first make mad"
On the Democratic ticket appears
the names of Joe ID. Helfrich and
Z C. Helfrich, candidates respect
lively for Assessor and State Sena-
tor. Our Republican friends may
raise the hue and cry that one fam
lily desires to control the welfare of
the people. If the voter will reflect
for a moment he will see that the
election of a Senator lie State Of
fee and the emoluments for the
same are barely equal to the neces-
sary expense attached in living so
days at the capital. 1t is truly. in
this case. the office seeking the man

ination for Senator at the hands of
the county central committee.
Richard Benham of Brtneau val
ley, was in this place several days
during the past week Mr.. Benham
has spent the summer at his Lost
mine, on Quicksilver mountain.
about 10 miles southeast of Silver
City. He brings with him some
beautiful and rich gold q artz
specimens from his vein. He and
John Price own the original discov-
cry and many locations have been
made adjoining them this summer.
The vein averages three feet in
width, is we'll defined and improves
in quap.ity and quality as depth is
attained. Mr. Benham has assay
certificates proving that rock from
this ledge carries 1865 IL in gold
and $l122 in silver, and he feels
that another seasons work ON the
lost mine will put him in some
what better circumstances than he
has enjoyed for many years as
tiller of the soil of Bruneau valley.
He has made a mill site location
with plenty of water, on Bridge
creek near the mine, and requests
the BULLETIN to say that this mine
and mill-site is not for sale. His
many friends in this section rejoice
with him at his good luck.
The Boise Mail prints these
pleasant words about Mountain
Home: Perhaps no new county
seat in this part of Idaho has as
promising a future as Mountain
Home owing to the fact that il il
the supply point for the mines at
Rocky Bar, Junction Bar and Pine
Grove, also for the stock sections Of
Duck valley, Bruneau. Three Greek
and other points. Four stage lines
run from there to 0reana, Rocky
| Bar, and Bruneau and all seem TO
enjoy good trade. The town il inn
proving steadily and in time will he
one of the most inviting cities in
the west. Ii is surrounded by stock
mining and farming sections and as
soon as plenty of water is obtained
to irrigate the vast acreage now idle
the town will advance rapidly.

service for the district. He has ex-
cellent assistants and the school is
