The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1895-06-20

the well in Moore's hollow has been
cleaned out and the water is now
fresh and pure. The work has been
done by Wild CIayborn mostly and
was necessary for the accommodation
of the travel and trade that is now
coming toWeiser from eastern oregon,
James Robinson, an old timer Of
Canyon City, Oregon, who saw that
noted mining camp in its palmiest
days, was in Weiser Monday and
Tuesday visiting his brother in law,
Albert Cordelle He is so we'll
pleased with the place that he thinks
of making a further visit next fall
and may eventually come here to
live. He met many old-day friends
here, among them A. b. Anderson,
whom Mr.. Robinson made Il Mason in
Canyon twenty seven years ago. NJ
Monday and Tuesday the auction
sale of the remaining assets of the
Idaho Commercial company took
place as per notice. Some SIG, 600
of notes and accounts brought 81 200.
The money received from this sale
cannot be divided among the credit
ors receiving dividends heretofore,
but will have to be paid principally
on the Mccullough claim, which was
put in against the insolvent concern
after the suit in the district court was
lost. This closes up the Idaho Com
mercial Company business and it only
remains for the court to discharge
Assignee Sommercamp, who has han
died the affairs very ably and salts
factorily to all concerned.
George Reibold is out from War
rens with two bars of bullion aggre-
eating IN value 81, OBJ "a This lis
the product of the last mill run OF
Little Giant ore, which averaged $73
|
from the new and deeper workings
and was dumped into the battery
without sorting, so that its real value
is much higher than the mill test
shows. In fact, Mr. Reibold says
the richest piece of rock ever taker
from the mine came from this ore
chute. Idaho Free Press.
The condition of the roads tina
lead to our northern connections il
the mines of Warrens and beyond
and intermediate points, is a county
disgrace. Ward Robertson came II
from the north yesterday morning
and reports distressing list of acct
dents. Al Alternately lost two horse
: attempting to cross the fourth ford o
the Payette. MIR. Clemens lost tw,
at the first ford and somewhere il
the skirmish Robertson lost two. Tn
cargo was finally delivered at Warren
by pack train. This is not encour
aging news for those starting out wit
average loads of over $500, and 4
draw it in the mildest possible way
the policy that is too parsimonious t
! make passable roads to connect tn
t different sections of the county wit
railroad base of supplies, is to
stupid to be of use. Nonsense of thi
kind has been endured too long a
ready and is a policy that has keI
the county back and cost it thousand
, and thousands of dollars.

E Jumped into the saddle Tuesda

future warrants the present move al
T. there is no doubt but little work W

best properties in the district al
J" these will also receive share of
attention. The development of t
