place in Challis. At least that
is the report.
Henry Sturkey is out from
Custer. He will depart in few =
days for Stanley Basin to look
after the placer claims owned by
Mr.. Chalhs and himself. They
expect a good run this season, as
there is plenty of snow In that
locality, and plenty snow means
abundant water supply.
Miss May Hallaran arrived in
Challis last Friday morning from
New Orleans, La. Miss Hallaran
spent several weeks in this vicin-
| ity last Fall, and while here be-
came quite favorably impressed
with our people and excellent
mountain climate, and we are
pleased to learn that she has
concluded to make her future
home in the far West.

i The Kentucky legislature ad
journed without electing u. S.
Senator. A telegram from that
State says the free silver cam
paign was opened in Frankfort
on the 18th by the Blackburn
: people. Senator Blackburn made
a vigorous speech claiming that
the failure to elect a senator was
t a remarkable victory for free
: silver.
One of the richest strikes re-
ported in Custer county has just
been made in the Silver Bell
l mine on Poverty Flat, owned by
> the Clayton M. & S. Co. They
t have struck a ledge of chloride
ore which is from 10 to 16 inches
2 in thickness which goes 1000
: ounces in silver per ton 1t is
t clean ore and can be traced for
some distance
Gov. Mcconnell has appointed
2 o. E. Penwell, ]. G. Fox, t. j.
: Paul, J. ID. Wood and w. H.
, Felkner, delegates from Custer
Z county to attend the immigration
! Congress at Boise. This Con-
4 gress was supposed to be a ron-
political gathering, but it seems
to be impossible for our worthy
Governor to call a meeting to ad-
: vance immigration or anything
: else without showing his partizan
3 hand, for Mac wants to be
}, u. S. Senator from Idaho next
s time, but we are confident that
, his name is Dennis. The dele
d gates from Custer county are all
representative men, and good
: selection, but all parties should
have been represented at this
= Congress. The delegates as ap
: = pointed are four Republicans and
!, one Democrat.
