preparing to drop another rock on it.
Finding out what they were doing, she
discovered they had a handful of the
dangerous things in their possession.
Miners, be more careful where you
leave them.
Central Lumber Co., C. r. Shaw, of
Caldwell and G4lffy, has been gathering
shells in DeLamar for a day or two.
Mr.. Shaw has not caught the Klondyke
fever badly enough to go himself but
has grub-staked and started a party
for that country.
The "Some Rambling Thoughts, by
Nemo," are getting too numerous in
our exchanges. The fellow in Wash
ington who sends out these slips for
ten cents, ought to be making about
hundred dollars day out of his poor,
weak little thoughts, judging from the
run they are having among lazy
editors.
Nearly half dozen of the very best
and quietest citizens of the upper por-
ton of town, the majority of them mar
ried men, TOO, by some mistake, strayed
into the saloon part of town, one night
in the early part Of this week and
made q night of it," some OF them
waiting for darkness to cover them on
the next night before they sneaked
home again. We dislike the task of
reading some of our best neighbors
lecture, but this must not occur again.
Ernest McAuley, who went to Telu-
ride, Colorado, to see foot race on the
Fourth of July, and was provident en-
ough to buy Il return ticket before
leaving Nampa, is back again. He went
to train his friend, Winslow, who re
sided here at one time, but the race
did not come off because the other fell
low backed out. Mr.. McAuley had the
pleasure Of meeting W. c. Freeburn
and W. II. Gillard, two o!d-time DeLa-
mar men, while in Telluride.
The NUGGET people have had the
pleasure of shaking hands with Chas.
L. Jones, one of the publishers Of the
Idaho City World. Mr.. Jones accom-
panied Mr.. G. o. Norcross upon his re-
turn from Boise county and is taking
in the sights in Owyhee, of which he
will doubtless give us picturesque &C
count, upon his return home. The |
Idaho World is the second oldest paper |
published in the state and is u favorite |
among our exchanges.
The Simpson and Edmunds Stock |
Company gave three nights entertain
ments here this week to very good |
houses. The company is composed of |
a number of very clever people and is
the best show, by far, that has visited |
this section of late years. Our people |
were very agreably disappointed in
them, for Judging by their snide print
ing and very bunny advance agent,
they were not led to expect much. The
Vitascope alone was worth the price of
admission for one night
The rumor of the biggest mining deal !
ever made in Owyhee, is now in the air.
1t has been known for months past
that the Standard Oil Company, or
parties interested in that giant corpor-
alton were attempting to make deal
Tor the Trade Dollar and Black Jack
1t is an open secret that
When these great properties we're eX-
mined by Mr.. Fred Corning, and sew
raj months later by Mr. Bradley that
he work was done for Standard Oil
men. Now the rumor is going that a
leal for the properties, together with
he holdings of the Florida Mountain
TO-, the Owyhee railroad and all Of
)ewey's property at Dewey, is about
icing closed. The total of the entire
is placed, by the same rumor
t four million dollars.
