his family in Weiser.
A number of Weiser's good people
spent the Fourth in the hills along
our delightful fishing streams.
y Will the person who borrowed
Copps Mining Code from the SIGNL
Office please return the same.
Remember the big auction sale at
the L. Z. store, to commence on the |
28th. See notice of the court now
running in this paper.
The report came down by tele-
phone that Isaac McMahan's store at
Alpine was destroyed by fire on the
evening of the Fourth.
The crop of grass widows in Wash
ington county is very fair. There
were eight divorces granted during
the term of court Just closed.
r. L. Packard, government miner
ologist arrived IN Weiser last Friday.
He is direct from Washington and is
on his way to look at the Rapid river
country for private purposes.
Hon. Joe Huston, of Boise, deliv-
cred an eloquent address in Weser
last Thursday in the interests of the
Bi-Metallic League. At the close
every person in the house signed the
Leagues constitution.
Roads are lined with prospectors 60
ing to the mountains. Nothing could
be better. Five hundred prospectors
turned loose in the mountains of
Washington county this season would
unearth such a world of mineral wealth
as to open the channels of industry in
Il hundred ways.
Candidates are somewhat numer-
Gus IN Owyhee county and seem to be
of an entirely different breed and of a
better grade than those of Washing
ton county. The Avalanche contains
about $75 worth of announcement"
for the different county offices. Who
ever heard many Washington county
candidates doing the like and throw
ing up a small William for card in
the paper stating what they want?
They really do such things in other
places, but seldom here; they are of
a more economical class. And if one
does make little splurge of that
kind he thinks the paper is then in
duty bound to turn itself into brass
band for his benefit from that mo-
ment until the last vote is cast on E.
lection day.
The Stewert amendment to chapter

p, thereof less than 20 acres, $50 WORT
of labor shall be performed or i'm
provments made during each year I'm

prospectors at all. Go on, locat
