Sommcr's New Store.

The immense stock of goods which,
undaunted by their fire losses, Messrs.
Sommer & Son Immediately ordered,
were, as we all know, delayed by the
recent floods, so that for time their
shelves were only partially filed and
their full Inauguration into business
again prevented But the goods are
here at last and the new store is now
crammed with choice fresh stock
and presents the appearance of a city
mercantile emporium. From one end
TO the other the shelves are bursting
with canned goods, staple miscellany,
remarkably fine assortment of shirts
and shirtings, choice display of
hats, sheetings, towelings, and all the
diversified list that goes to make up
a first class stock of merchandise
The dress goods department takes up
a large part of the establishment and
is pronounced by the ladies to be the
most elegant stock in that line they
have ever seen here. The stock OF
mems clothing is scarcely justified by
the locality-it is designed to serve
the needs of the everyday man and
the most fastidious; while the selec-
ton of foot wear is unparalleled ii

public is invited to drop in and see

Rich Strike at Warrens.

Geo. Reibold has been out to Lew
iston from Warrens and has been
telling the. Teller of Wonderful de-
velopments in the gold resources of
that camp. He has been sinking,
tunneling and drifting in location
on the Little Giant, with a force of
nine men, all winter. just before he
left for Lewiston they came upon
rich body of fine black ore which
yielded over 81 per pound. Two
thousand five hundred pounds of the
ore crushed out 81, 700 i'll gold. This
wonderful strike proves the theory
advanced by Mr.. Reibold, that he
could, by deep sinking, catch the
main vein below the faults drifts.
Losing the vein above by a fault he
has now discovered the ledge in place
and has prospects of fabulous wealth
at his command. Last fall Mr.. Rel
bold began work on the present pros
pect, at a point SO feet south of the
old workings, and about the center Of
the ore body. He tunneled into the
main body of the ore and then from
the tunnel sunk winze to the depth
of 39 feet. Then drift of 40 feet
was made to the east. The ore from
all this work yielded 800 to the ton.
Turning from the bottom of the
winze he then made arift to the
west of rs feet and came to a point
where the north and south fault
fauted the vein. Just ut that point
he struck the rich body of ore which
will yield 81 to the pound. He mas
now uncovered 10 Ieet of the ledge
and beginning at the west end of the
drift he will, by underhand stoping
work, back over that distance. There
is every reason to believe that IL
working back over the vein the ore
will hold up to the discovery las
made. This rich discovery will boon
the Warrens camp and attract capita
to hasten its development. Searcl
for GOLD in Warrens has been inces
SAINT since the camp was discovered
over 30 years ago Warrens was a
first placer camp, but since the dig
gings failed to yield the marvellous
returns of the earlier years quart
mining has been carried on. A few
far seeing men like Riebold and Wit
ley have have held to the faith tina
somewhere, smetime, the rich ore bed
that yielded the placer gold would b
unearthed. This discovery justiiie
the faith these men have placed in tn
camp, and it will give a wonderfu
impetus to the development of Wal
rens. 1t proves that capital and pei
severance is all that is needed
make gold camp, the richest in til
United States, and with futul
brighter than its earliest enthusiast
ever pictured.

time. President called the meeting

"Now," said the president, 81 want
explanation and some atonement for
the unjust manner in which | was
treated at the first meeting" After
a few moments of dead silence Mr.
Neer arose and said: "Mr. President,
you must never try to close meeting
of this club with that good old song
When the stirring strains of that
grand old tune sounded in my ears
the hallowed memories of those good
old days, when victory crowned our
banner and Joy filed our hearts, came
crowding on so thick and fast that
somehow or other my feet got to
moving, keeping time, and when
those familiar old soldier voices
Joined the chorus it was too much for
me. Transported as | was, in this
ecstacy of JOY, it seemed as though [
was again marching on old Georgia's
soil. And, Mr. President, if you
moved on with us as our army bands
used to do, believe we could have
marched on to Washington and given
old Cleveland a dose similar to the
dose we gave jeff Davis years ago
jeff Davis did what he believed was
right. Cleveland does what he knows
is wrong. Is this explanation salts
factory, your Honor?" The presi-
dent: "Mr. Neer, sit down. | like
your sentiment, but you give me
about as much advice and hattery as
the Weiser SIGNAL gave its Mineral
correspondent last week. "
A party with idle teams is contem-
plating the feasibility of hauling
wood from the mountains east OF
Mineral to the Snake river to supply
the ranchers and miners along the

ready made to the timber it might be
paying business.
The assayer reports some good
gold prospects being found, but as
parties never want figures or loca
tons given he cannot say more.

Mains Circus.

Walter T.. Mains circus gave two
performances in Newberry on Monday
of this week. We had the largest
crowd that has been in town in several
wears. In fact it has been so long since
we have had circus in New berry that
every one was hungry for one. They
spread their tents just beyond the
Crotwell place. 1t was q very hne
place for the show though it was
little far out of town. There must have
been 1000 or 5000 persons in town to
see the procession. though b not half OF
them went in to see the circus. Some
people object to circus on one ground
and another, but we believe the circus
is good thing and we are eglad this one
came along just at this time. 1t Will
give the people something else to talK
about besides five cent cotton and hard
times. We hope it will cheer them up,
if but for time.
This was large circus with. large
and creditable street parade. The order
on the grounds and under the tent was
the best we have ever seen. The
acting was good. Tie trapeze act was

Hamlet BY Mr.. James Yonnr

our citizens enjoyed rare treat last
evening in the presentation of Hamlet
by Mr.. James Young. This young
gentleman being young in years, and
as an actor, crudeness and rant might
have heen expected; but the tragedian
steered clear of both bad ways. His
presentation showed careful study and
thought, his work was conscientiouslv
and we'll done, of fine presence, with
clear, rich voice and graceful motion.
We predict for him bright future. and
believe that in time his Hamlet will be
an ideal cne.
The Oph+lia of Miss Jobnson was
surprisingly good. Sweet, gentle and
unaffected.
To night Richard III, will be pre-
sented, and we invite large audience.
The young actor is worthy of it, not
only because he plays we'll and care
fully, but for his pluck and daring, in
