SHORT STOPS.

SHORT STOPS.
At this writing the disappearance of
Dick and Sallie Thomas is still among
the unsolved mysteries,
Scales mill is running merrily these
days, with plenty of water on the wheel
and bullion to ship frequently.
Assessor Crocheron has been nosing
around DeLamar this week, looking for
county dollars and trying to play prac-
tical jokes.
Mrs. Mile Walston, of Reynolds, has
been spending the week in DeLamar,
visiting her friends, the Misses Shea
and Connors.
Tha NUGGET has found out that about
half the men who constituted the show
troup this week, can roar louder than
they can sing.
Silver people will find lots of fun and
hear some fine singing if they go to the
minstrel show to be given by the Della
mar boys next week
Mrs. Crosson went out on this morn
ing's stage, to Boise, to visit her sister;
Mrs. Byrd, who is coming from Mon
tana to that city, on account Of her
health.
A little corterie of politicians are fix
ing slate in Silver City; but they are
very modest, as they have not put more
state officers on the slate than Owyhee
is fairly entitled to.
Bob Mclean and Tom Miller, both of
them good miners, as well as good men,
pulled out of Owyhee this week, for
Colorado. They leave here carrying
everybody's good will with them.
1t is high time the aspirants for coun-
ty and sta tie officers were lining up
and showing their colors Announce
ments in the NUGGET, always cash in
advance, but rates reasonably low.
Oh no, the NUGGET is not to be talked |
into saying anything about the discus
sion between Messrs French and Can't
well, over putting out the electric lights
in the hotel reading room at eleven |
o'clock, Notwithstanding the many re-
quests made to have it written up.
Mr. Dan Feour visited DeLamar on
Wednesday and received the congratu-
lations of many friends, who had not
seen him since the happy event of a
fortnight or more ago. The serene and
contented look on his face ought to in
spire others to try and do as he has
done.
We notice by the Malheur county
papers that Mr.. Sid Knight, of Shea
vile, is candidate for County Com
missioner in that county II Mr..
Knight will move onto the eastern end
of his ranch SO as to live in Idaho, Owy-
hee county will give him any Office he
may want.
Tom Mccain, who has been spending
the winter in California returned last
week, wearing Salvation Army cap,
but had the grace to tear the red band
off it before he RIM up against his old
mate, B. NJ. Moon, and the
pair of them began perpetrating jokes
on DeLamar female ii
Mr.. John O'Neill came home at nine
o'clock last Tuesday night to find the
parIor full of his friends, having jolly
time and to learn that Mrs. O'Neil had
fixed up surprise for him, the occa-
sion being his birthday. The evening
was spent playing progressive hearts
and partaking of refreshments and was
most enjoyably passed.
There are no signs of any change in
abor affairs here, which we have been
able to discover. The striking miners
are as quiet and sedate as the people of .
/ quaker village and there are apparent T
y no indications that any steps are be-
ng taken to settle the differences be- .
ween employees and employers. We
IL, however, heartily wish TO see all the =
