The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1895-08-27

1t is long time since there
has been enough motion in our
mining country TO pay for the
labor to look after them and
write what we saw. Times have,
partially, changed and we are
rejoicing at the prospect of bet
ter days, and although one may
not hope for full prosperity, it is
to be desired that Custer and
Alturas (now Blaine) and adjoin-
ing counties will never again
drop so low as they have under
the last two administrations of
our government. One thing we
feel assured of: That no other
administrations can ever be so
basely against the people as
have these two who have ever
claimed to be fighting each 9TH
er-but who still have ever work
ed to the same end. Tariff for
their party friends and free
trade for their enemies and de-
struction to the silver interest.
Yes, and they have both added
another plank to their policy OF
government. They have been
untiring in their vigilance to pro-
tect the millionaires. They, un-
doubtedly, are deeply concerned
for fear that men worth no more
than from a million dollars up,
will come to want. Poor things,
They should have some one to
look after their little affairs; and
as for the great body of the
people, why, they can work and
earn from four bits a day to two
dollars; when they can get work
and any poor devil who cannot
support himself and wife and
family of seven children for that
ought to starve or go to prison
for debt.
But, no more OF this consider
ing of the dark side, and let Us
tell you what we saw that looks
encouraging.
We took a seat in the Morrison
& Waller stage line coaches, run
ming from Challis to Custer
which makes close connections
with lines coming from Black
foot, Ketchum, Dubois and Sal
mon, Pete Golfer on the box, ant
had pleasant trip to Clayton
Bayhorse was passed for another
trip. Roads were good with the
exception of a few places where
the showers of the day before
had, in the way of cloud bursts
filed them to a depth of quite {
number of feet. Our part of the
country has been visited with
these to an uncommon extern
this season.

world These days have not,
but they will come. Never again
viii SO much money be made at
so small toll, but more money
will be produced in manner
that will benefit vastly more
people. These will, really, be
the better days. Our old friend
Wust is back again assaying for
the new company. We had an
old-time visit with him, and only
wish brother Leyison had been
there to make complete the meet
ing. The new corners and old
settlers are as the auctioneers
would put it {: Getting too
numerous to mention But we
must Withhold; but we were high
| ly elated to see such cheerful
prospects as the whole field pre-
sents. Not but that we always
thought that these coming good
times would be here in our life
time, yet when they begin to
press in upon us. it gives a little
thrill through the heart that
makes life sweeter; and we trust
that every old and new man and
woman viii do their part to make
the present hope grand realiz-
alton. This all can aid in doing
and it is simply cruelty to dc
anything to retard the good
work of progress. Surely ou1
old citizens would not make this
mistake.
CUSTER MOUNTAIN.
The third day was devoted te
looking over the activities upon
the and old Custer Mountain
from which came the millions IN

would coin the silver he could do

About fifteen men are working
at the smelter, quite number at
the Redbird and a force at the
Skylark. There are a number
of teams hauling from the Sky

ployment to considerable num-
Der of men and animals. The

This place is forging head a
little in the way of new smelt-
er. The company is rebuilding
the stack and building new
house over it and generally, re-
vising its make up. Everything
is being put in order so as to
save a great deal of hard work
and, at the same time, save the
ore from mixing with dirt. This
means vast difference in ex-
pense of running and loss in
smelling. Instead of placing
the ore on the ground or in little
pens, the new, solid plank ex-
tensive platforms are so arrang'
ed that they can be loaded with
thousands of tons of mixed ores
in a convenient manner; and
from there in an easy way run tc
the stack for the use of the man
who feeds. They are also put

Moore, a resident OF Pawtucket, was
struck by electric car No. 72 while eros
sing BullocA Point avenue, near Crescent
Park. He had come down In party
wagon and was returning to Ii when he
was struck. He waited for two cars to
pass, and either thought that he could get
across before another car came along or
else that the whole string had passed. He
started across the track and was almost
across when he was struck. The handle
struck him on the back of his head and the
footboard struck him in the left hip. He
was picked up insensible and taken to
the office of a physician. Two stitches
were taken to close the wound in his
scalp. He was then taken to his home.

There was a rather lively quarrel be-
tween two Italian residents OF Branch
avenue late Saturday. All parties were
quite drunk, IL is stated, and one OF them
had the advantage, or perhaps the disad-
vantage, of having a razor, which he
used on the face OF another individual,
not in professional way, but rather like
a butchers knife. The injured man was
taken in a team TO DIR. Blacks office, but
ss the doctor was away on professional
business, another surgeon had To De
found. The man who did the cutting
managed 10 get out OF the way SO quickly
that he was not arrested. The injured
mans wounds are not at all dangerous
ana ii Is not probable he will desire TO
prosecute the man who injured him. I'm
partial witnesses OF the ARRAY say 1T was
very hard TO tell who was more TO blame
as some blows were given by the man
who was cut and that the disturbance
was a very short one.

EAST PROVIDENCE.

There were two very exciting games OF
baseball played on the firemen's grounds
last Saturday afternoon. The first was
between the Rumfords and the Reho-
boths, which resulted in victory for the
Ruu:fords by a score OF II TO 2. The
other and more exciting one was between
the Kent-Stanleys of Providence and the
East Providences. This resulted in vic
tory for the Kent-Stanleys by score of Is
to IL. Much more interest was taken in
this game than some of the others. owing
to the fact that the Kent-Stanleys had
secured the services OF four of the best
players which the East Providences had at
the commencement of the season.

said he was in the habit OF getting drunk
on Saturday nights of late and would
beat her and IL she said anything he
would threaten TO kill her. She said
when he was sober chat he was one of the
best of husbands and she was willing to
pay his fine this time IL the judge would
make him promise to keep sober and not
threaten the lives of members of the
family. He promised and the fine was
paid.
