If the Republican party want a
genuine goldbug Allison will fill
the bill. What's the matter OF

Michael d. Harter, the gold
bug ex-congressman of Ohio,
committed suicide last Saturday.
Cause, supposed to be financial
trouble. A suitable inscription
for his tombstone would be, "a
martyr to the gold standard and
a victim of its relentless effect
and power"
Messrs. Stephen & Schefstad,
dentists, of Butte, Montana. ar
rived in Challis last Tuesday
evening from Salmon. They re
manned here only one day and
departed for Blackfoot. They
found this field ably represented
in this profession by our local
dentist, the old reliable, DR.. Pyle.
DIR. L. p. Jacobson has pur-
chased what is known as the
White property in eastern Chal-
lis, and it will be improved and
used as a county poor farm.
The residence will be used as a
county and private hospital. Mr..
Gottsche will be the first person
employed on this farm.
The Black property at Custer,
is running along smoothly with
out a stop, besides it is turning
out considerable gold bullion,
which helps to make the mach
inery run more smoothly. The
other day a IS, ,000gold brick was
shipped to Challis for transpor-
tation, and this was not the first
one. The mine is showing well.
Custer has a bright outlook.
! The Idaho Mining Journal is
the name of a new weekly publ
cation at Boise. This paper is
under the direction of the Idaho
Mining Exchange at that place.
1t is a neat publication and will be
eventually a great benefit to the
vast mining industry of Idaho,
but at present it is more par
ticularly devoted to the mines
and mining in the close proxim
ity of Boise City.
| The election held in Challis
last Saturday afternoon to submit
to the voters the proposition O.

The Custer mill has been clos
ed down for a few days on ac
count of running out of wood, bu
we learn that the mill will re
sumo operation again this week
The mine is looking fine and ;
great deal of good milling ore i
being taken out, so much so tha
it has been necessary to put OF
several more teams hauling orr
from tina Lucky Boy mine to tn
tramway. This property unde.
its present able management ha
a good outlook. By the amour
of gold-silver bullion-mostl,
gold-being sent out, would in
dicate that the property is no
being run on hopes.
The DeLamar Nugget says
Have you noticed how the post
mistress and her assistant hav,
been continually coughing Will
in the Office this week ? Tn,
, matter is worthy of the attention
of the Postoffice Department
Some one sent by mail, to Mex
ican residing here, a four-poun,
package of chilicapinos. and thu
} package bursted open en- route
and these little red-hot Mexican
peppers left their pungent dus
scattered all through the mai
pouch, and when it was openeC
the dust invaded the entire Office
Everything now handled in tn,
room raises a dust to invade tn
throat and nostrils, and it i.
cough, cough, cough, with the
postoffice attendants.
The greater portion of thi:
package must have been switch
ed off at the Challis Office, fol
about that time this office wa
the scene of great coughing b,
