OVyhee County.
Its Wealth and Resources.

Owyhee County is now elicitine SO
many inquiries from capitalists who are
making inquiries respecting lis mines
and from parties in search Of homes
that the following brief description of
the territory embraced within it's bonn
daries has been prepared in answer TO
The frequent letters received by our
business men.
TOPOGRAPHY.
Owyhee County occupies the, extreme
southwestern corner of the state, being
bounded on thr south by the state OF Ne
vada and on the west by the state of
Oregon. The great Snake river forms
the principal portion of its northern
boundary. The area of the county is a
little more than 5000 square miles. The
length east and west is about 100 miles,
and north and south an average of
about seventy-fve miles. The greater
portion of the southern and cas- ern
portion, is an extensive, broken lava
plateau occupied only as ranges for live
stock. The northern portion of
the county is traversed by the owyhee
mountains, from which numerous
streams run into Snake river through
narrow but Very fertile valleys, occu-
pied by prosperous ranvhers. The larg-
est of th-se is the Bruneau river. the
source of which is in the Elk mountains
shortly after crossing the line into Ida
no, where is a prosperous stock raising
community, known as Three Forks or
Big Flat. This is fine hay aud graz
ing section, but at too high an elevation
for general agriculture. After leaving
the Big Flat country the river enters

SOUTH MOUNTAIN.

This camp. located twenty miles south
of DE LamHr, contains very extensive
deposits of silver gaIena, and is prob
ably richer in these minerals than any
locality IN southern idaho, But being
such distance from railways, under
the existing prices of lead and silver
cannot be probably worked. With
the advent of a railroad into the county
This district will become one ofthe most
important ones in this section of the
state.

FLINT

This district carries principally silver
ores. and The low price of the White
metal has prevented the prosecution of
work there to any great extent for some
years. The mines have been rich pro-
dncers and should silver again regain
its legitimate position the camp will
again fosfish.

tains the following sketch of the late

farmers son, but full Of promise of a useful
career. After completing the high school

Hillsdale college, where he took a CONNER
cial course, graduating with honors. In
1879 he went west and engaged in various
mining enterprises. In August, 1865, he was
married to Miss Martha e. Porter in Chey-
enne, Wyo. They then went to Omaha,
Neb., where Mr.. Stadden was engaged with
the o. F.. Davis company as bookkeeper,
for which position he was naturally quail
fed. He was methodical, exact and quick,
and became their expert and trusted en-
ploye. He retained this position until his
health failed. He and his wife were active
members of the First Presbyterian church
of Omaha, and for six years never missed
a prayer meeting, He was in active sym
pathy with the Omaha Young Mems Chris
tian association and each week their home
was opened to them. For several years he
was an officer and teacher in the Chinese
mission, in which work he was most deeply

"The New Nabobs' will be presented by
Henshaw and Ten Brock at the Fifteenth
Street theater for one week, commencing
with matinee today. 1t is enough TO say
that William Gin is the author of the new
piece to convince people that something
worth seeing awaits them in observing the
rendition. ''The New Nabobs'' is an object
lesson which illustrates the fate which is In
store for the farce comedy OF the past. II
is not a farce comedy, it is not an extrav-
aganza, 1t is not a farce. but il is a happy
mixture OF all. Mr.. Gill has thrown into
its makeup that spirit and dash which has
made his work while with the Colville
Folly" company so famous, which COM
pany presented Babes in the Wood" Rob
inson C%rusoe,'' etc, and those who were
fortunate enough to see the above produc-
lions while under his direction retain mem
cries that are not easily forgotten. It has
been said recently that farce comedy must
go. but where II was to go to was the ques-
ton, and how TO get rid OF II. 1t would not
do TO have the transition at once to the farce
or high comedy OF the past. In THE New
Nabobs' Mr.. gill has solved the problem.
The farce comedy will go by a happy grad
uation from the skit to creations such as
Don Caesar de BRZan,' IAN that Glitters
is Not Gold" Married Life" and the like,
which were once fun producers Of the FIRST
quality.
