A Tribute 10 Rocky Ford's Famous
Specially.


In the dry hot days of August
which are now upon US, when the
brain sizzles and you could hardly
create a ripple Of excitement by
announcing the demise of Grover
Cleveland, the watermelons are
getting in their perfect work, and
are slowly growing as we write.
To be perfect they should be of
the Rocky Ford variety. After
having shut one away on ice for
about ten hours previous to eating
it, assemble your friends and feast
on the nectar of the gods. You
will be glad that you made an ef-
fort to live through August.
Down in Georgia, where the
watermelon season is now on, and
whore they raise melons not to be
mentioned on the same day with q
genuine r. F., the Atlanta Con-
stitution pays tribute to our Ar
kansas valley melons in the fol-
lowing lines:
The juicy watermelyon
Has been doin' of its best,
But the folks-they've kinder
cornered it
Out in the bloomin' west.
At a place called Rocky Ford,
Way up the ragin' Arknnsaw-t
Where they never cook their
melyons
Cause they'd rother eat 'em
raw.

The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1895-08-31

three thousand years which have rolled
away since have not in the least changed
even the luster of the component parts
of that metal, and have not, either,
diminished its power. Since then ma
tons have appeared, have run their
courses and have passed away. Since
then the whole face Of civilization has
been transformed. Since then ninety
generations Of men have lived and died,
and still no change has come to that
metal, and nothing has ever lessened
its value except some fool legislation
by two or three governments which pre-
tend to be enlightened, but which I'M
der the whip Of scorpions which the
creditor class forever is swinging, is ac-
complished. In this country where there
are SO many poor, where there are so
much yet to be redeemed, where the
roads are only halfbuilt wherethe land
is only half snbdued, where the mines
are only half opened, where there is
SO much need of money, the same crimes
we're perpetrated. If the wage earners
of this country and the gather
ers of this country could receive their
dues three months in silver dollars, it
would be found that notwithstanding
all the silver that piled up in the treas
ury, and which SO much plant is
made about, it does not amount to much
when tits distributed out amopgaeventy
millions of people. Perhaps by that
time a dim perception of the fear Of
spooks which the goldites have raised
would vanish away. And surely the
men who believe in gold exclusively
dare not try the experiment of paying
the expenses of the government and
the wages oflahor three months in his
country out of the silver of the treasury
and then submit the matter of restora-
ton to a vote of the people. The pres
ident of the United States, if he would
assert himself personally and through
his ambassadors in Europe, could have
this matter settled in four months. The
trouble is he does not want it settled
that way, and he has been consistent
but where was the consistency on the
part Of. the people when knowing of his
sentiments, they a second time gave
him power, as chief magistrate of this
nation, to hold the feet of the interest
gatherers on the threats of the people.

However contemplate it may look
for Secretary Morton to pay such en-
ployees as believes in bimetalism in sill

followed aud all the wage earners in
the United States could for single
month"; be paid off in silver dollars, it
would come more nearly settling the
silver question than any other plan,
and would put that much silver into
actual circulation. People would see
that it is not something which melts
away in their pockets. They would
understand that possibly some of the
silver which they received was the very
silver that Abraham paid out for a
burial place for his wife, and would not
fail to make note of the fact that the

A Woman Miner.

A correspondent Of the Mining and
Scientific Press, writing from Carson,
Nevada, says:
1 have spent the month of June in
the Humboldt Mountains, looking over
good gold prospects. The main claim
is called the ''Lost Mine.n It was
opened thirty-one years ago, prior to
the advent of the rail road A shaft
was sunk on the vein about % feet, it
averaging about $50 per ton in gold. At
that time it would not pay, owing to the
excessive cost Of mining material and
labor. During the past four years per-
sistent searches were made for the
mine, but each time were Abandoned,
until this spring. when cultured wo-
man of the new age appeared, in the
person of Mrs. Ida NJ. Stobridge, in
company with young man lately en-
ployed on her fathers ranch near Hum
boldt She is a most remarkably bright
woman, and will climb precipitous
cliff where the average man would not
venture. In addition to mining she
looks after the business of her fathers
cattle ranch, and quite a sportswoman
and would probably carry off the first
prize in shooting tournament, as she
brings down her game every time. She
wears handsome brown denim cos
tune, which she dons in climbing the
very steep and rugged cliffs of the Hum
boldt Mountains. She has located five
claims on the lode, laid out new camp
and named it after her father, "Meach-
am, and recognized the district anew
as the Humboldt" she has four men
to work and is experimenting operas
tons herself. She has also located the
water and springs flowing over the
claims, which are nine miles east ofthe
Central Pacific Railroad, at the Hum
boldt House. Such is the New Woman.
The Lost Mine can be traced dis.
lance Of 2, 200 feet along the vein, from
- to Is inches wide and crops ont from
6 to "a feet in height. 1t is white
and rose colored quartz, which, when
broken, shows the free gold quite plain
~, and assays range from $3.50 to $40
per tom the average is about $85 per
ton gold. Mrs. Strobridge is now en-
gagged in running a tunnel under the
shaft where the vein is showing up
finely, and if the present appearance is
maintained, the New Woman will in
due time be reckoned millionairess,
and all by her indomitable will and per-
severance. She is now sacking ore for
