Apparatus Piling in For the Develop
ment of Mineral Country to the
Northward.
SHELTER HAS ARRIVED.
Another Car of Machinery for Warren Placer
Mining.-Two Cars for Seven Devils.

1t is gratifying to see the machin-
cry coming in this year bound for the
country north of us. It augurs well
for the opening, at last, of our great
mineral belts, and while what has
arrived in the last three years is vir-
tually but a prospecting amount, it
is the forerunner of future trainloads,
If those mineral resources prove to
be what we claim them to be- If
they are not, then of course it will
soon be demonstrated, and the sooner
we know we have nothing, the better,
as we can then stop talking about it
but no one familiar with the district
has any fears of the demonstrated re-
suits
That the dawning is approaching,
is clear from the increased activity
each season. The THREE car loads of
dredging appliances taken IN from
Weiser in '95 was a good starter. 1t
was followed by more shipments last
year by the same company, and also
the stamp mill taken INTO the
Devils. The dredge company's freight
last year was taken in from Caldwell
and this fact, once and for all, dem
onstrated that Weiser is the only
point from which TO operate conven-
iently into the future great mining
country of the northwest Tins yeal
follows up with four more cars al.
ready of engines, boilers, stamps,
and miscellaneous machinery, Will
chances for more before the season
closes. Next year ought to see tel
or a dozen cars of the same material

SHELTER HERE.
The Long Looked for Starter for Put
ting Our Copper District on its
Feet Has Arrived.

The American Loan e Trust Co. have
actually flOated bonds for IA smelter in
the Seven Devils and the enterprise will
be reality y-WEIsER SIGNAL, April 10,
1887.
At the time the above was pub
lished railroad talk was in every
breeze around Weiser, but a smelter
was not an immediate thought until
the above appeared, which was the
first intimation the public had that a
smelter would have seat on the
platform until after yhe railroad was
under way. The SIGNAL spoke rather
positive in those few lines, but its
words proved true last Sunday when
two cars of smelling machinery were
seen standing on the sidc-track at
this place.
The SIGNAL gave no date for its
appearance, but has felt more or less
confident, at all times since, that the
season would not pass without it. AS
stated, a couple of weeks ago, the
general public, through many rea-
sons, had been led to a premature
expectancy, which being repeatedly
disappointed caused the pulse of
hope to beat very feeble and low,
but now it can fully revive. Any
and all persons whose representations
had begun to pale on the local mind
can now say 81 told you SO" with
full satisfaction.
The appearance here every season
for several years of men who repre-.
sented themselves as agents for som e
big mining company, some railroad
syndicate or some smelling corpor
alton, and who told what wonderful
things they were tue advance agents
of, all of them disappearing even
tually, some leaving behind only un-
paid bills rs reminder of the sea
sons living they had secured out o
the country, has all constituted
monotony of which the people wer
sick and disgusted, but which ha
at last been apparently broken, an'
all that, we trust, is past and gone
None but those vino have live,
through it can understand the aggra
vation the people have been put t
through this kind of visitors.

GOOD FOR WARREN.
Another Car of Iron for the Working
of Her Placer Ground Arrives.

Sunday morning when the Seven
Devils smelter was switched off at
Weiser, there was also set out
heavily loaded car containing two big
boilers, engine, steam hoist, pump,
sawmill and other material. The ma
chinery is the property of the com
pany who recently purchased the
Warren Meadows, and the four dump
cars which have been at Weiser for
some time are part of the same
outfit.
Thos. Mclean, of Bonners Ferry,
Idaho, is here rs the agent of the
company to see after transportation,
etc. He states that he is not fully
Informed as to the intended method
Of working the company's ground,
but says he does not think there is
any present intention of bedrock
hume, as has been currently reported
ever since the sale. He thinks the
company's plan, and the idea is car
ried out by the appliances now here,
is to build high aume which shall
dump over the rim of the Meadows,
pump water up into the fume and
raise the gravel with the hoist. On,
engine is for the sawmill and tho
other to run the pump and hoist.

CZIZEKS MILL.
The $4,000 Pounds of Quartz Mill for
the Idaho Consolidated Gold Min
ing Co. is Off.

The car load of mining appliances
which arrived in Weiser two weeks
ago for the Idaho Consolidated Gold
Mining Company is now on wagons
and winding its way northward
through Washington county from
Weiser to Warren 1t was safely
loaded and started out last week,
seven big teams trailing out with the
mill on board
Sam Morris, of Silver City, had
two teams, one 10 horse, taking the
boiler, and one 6-horse.
John Walker had one 6-horse and
one 4 horse team.
Bob Reavis had two g. horse.
Dave Jones had one horse team
They have twenty-four days in
which to reach Warren but, although
they travel very slow, ten days will
put them there unless accident hap
pens.

they all told the same story-hard
times, sufferency, bankruptcy.
There has never been anything
like this in Ohio before, said Mayor
Rice, of Canton. There are hun
dreds of families in Canton today
who are suffering for want of food
and lodging Things are getting
worse. In three months this year |
have spent out of my private purse
for food and clothing to give away
more than my years salary as May
or.
"The factories are cutting down
wages and reducing their forces.
Many of them are not operating more
than three days week; most of them
are running without profit Farm
land that has been worth hundred
dollars an acre cannot be sold for
thirty dollars an acre. 1t is almost
impossible to borrow money on real
estate, because prices sink and sink
and sink.
"The farmers and workmen are
deserting the republican party whole
sale. The republicans cannot hide
the evidences of distress here. They
are to be seen everywhere. | know
of scores of men who are insolvent
and who continue in business simply
because their creditors do not care to
act. And in spite of this terrible
condition of things the republican
party contents itself with the pay
ment of its private political debts IN
the form of tariff bill.
"Why, | have had half-naked
young girl come to me to ask relief
for her penniless father and family
of five children with the explanation
that her father voted for Mr.. Nc
Kinley and thought that on that ac-
count | might not feel like helping
him. OF course helped him. We
must help to relieve distress in such
time as this regardless of politics.
But cannot see how Senator Hanna
and his friends can fool the people
of Ohio at the polls this year

society requiring the annual meeting
to be held in September, and it was
decided to ash the executive ccm<
mttee to set tie date Ut this meeting
at about September Both, as there is
to be race meeting in Welser Oc-
tober 1st, and, while there is not the
slightest connection between the man-
agement of the two affairs, if they
come near together, one would tend
to increase the success Of the other,
and greater attendance of outside
people to both would probably result.
1t was agreed that the people OF
each district, community, or valley
in the county, should be written to
and asked to get local COMMITTEES
together and see to it that their Sec
ton was represented by proper
display of products in the exhibit OF
fruits and vegetables which is fea-
ture of the annual meetings, and one
Of the most valuable.
Mr.. Galloway moved that gen.
eral committee OF nine be appointed
to have charge of all necessary ar
rangements to make the Horticultu-
raj meeting success, and with full
power to appoint any and all SUBJ
committees necessary.
This was seconded and carried, and
the chair appointed the following up-
on the suggestion of those present:
S. A. Swauger, A. f. Hit, j. II.
Morrison, L. Il. Utley. L. G. Gall
loway, T. M. Jefrreys, p. H b. Moul.

There are about so, 600 pounds of
the shipment now here, and some of
the pieces will he difficult to trans
port over the present road to the
Seven Devils. Mr.. Holman informs
us that Mr.. Lock, of Huntington, will
probably have the contract for trans
portation to the copper district.
People must not expect tco much
of this enterprise, as, compared to
what the camp is, this is simply a
prospecting smelter of small capacity
calculated to demonstrate the posi-
bilites of handling the ores of the
district. Its capacity is stated, by
parties now here and connected with
the enterprise, to be seventy tons.

A Highly Important Matter Which De-
mands the Attention of Citizens.
MEETING LAST SATURDAY
Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel and Make
the Coming horticultural Society Meet
ing Il Success.

Last Saturday meeting was held
in the Office of Frank Harris to con-
slider ways and means to make
proper representation of the agricul-
tural and horticultural interests of
this county next month during the
meeting of the State Horticultural
society at this place.
There were not as many present as
there should have been, but those
who were there were quite enthusi-
astic. S A. Swauger was selected
rs chairman, and Il. e. Lockwood
secretary.
The matter in hand was talked
over at some length in its various as
poets. 1t was the wish of all to have
II regular, old style county fair here,
with all the usual features thereunto
belonging, during the period of the
Horticultural meeting, but this would
necessitate the organization Of a Fair
Association to take the matter in
hand and procure grounds and build
ings and it appeared so doubtful an
undertaking under present conditions,
that it was unanimously decided that
the best thing to do would be to bend
all efforts to making the Horticultu-
meeting q bowling success-as big,
notable and rs near approaching q
fair exhibit as possible, and after
wards 1t might be possible to organ
ize an association TO hold a fair il
this county annually hereafter
1t was the unanimous sentimen
that everybody in town and country
should pull off their coats and WORK
in harness together to make the meet
ing success. This affair will TAX,
place here in Weiser and will b,
quite notable event and the business
interests have just naturally got Il
get in and drill to see that agricult
ural interests are aided to make th
best possible showing, showing
that shall be long talked of and be 0
real benefit. Everything goes har
moniously together and nothin
should be left undone.
1t seems there is something in til
by laws of the State Horticulture

KILLING OF KIVE'TT.
How Former Weiser Man Met Death
in Texas.

The circumstances surrounding the
killing of Ben Kivett, at Waco, Tex
as, were not at hand when the matter
was reported last week. The asso-
ciated press gives the following ac-
count:
Waco, Tex. July IS This forenoon,
IN the stock brokerage office of Q. II. Trice
Il Co.. B. f. Kivett and w. w. Kivett
were shot and killed by William Lamb
den, member of the firm. Bad feeling
had existed between the Kivett brothers
and Lambden for some time. growing out
Of charges made by the relatives OF Lamb
den and a sister of the Kivetts. The shoot
ing occurred during the busiest part of the
day when the Office was crowded and it
caused intense excitement. Two more
kivett brothers armed themselves and
proceeded to the scene of the shooting,
threatening to kill Lambden. but they
were not allowed to enter. The killing Is
universally looked upon as justifiable.
About month ago, the kivejts attemp-
ted to kill Lambden, intlicling II knife
wound on him, and they had frequently
threatened to kill him since. This morn
ing they appeared in the doorway of 1,ricC
& Cos office. Lambden was informed OF
their coming. AS they appeared in The
door they drew their pistols, but Lamb'
den fired with II shotgun before they
could shoot, killing b. F. Kivett instant.
ly. w. W. Kivett rushed on Lambder
with his revolver, and rs he pulled thu
trigger, Lam bden struck the weapon up
then grabbed it. The men wrestlcd ovel
the weapon. which Kivett succeeded in
firing several times without effect Lamb
den finally succeeded in drawing his re
volver and shooting Kivett three times
Lambden was uninjured
The cause for the tragedy dates bacl
four years, when Sarah Kivett, sister o
the men killed, charged Lambden witt
the parentage of her child

PROFITABLE noFs THE MAYOR FIND HIS
 OFFICE. .raz Payer Points Out How it is Mayor Goldsmith Has Received Twice as Much of the Uity's Money as His Recent
 Predecessors.
4,,o F5itor of the GRAPHte:

sro inc Editor Of the GRAPHge:--
 I write to inform the public through the columns of your paper, oftbe various accounts allowed L. E Goldsmith while he has been Mayor of our city:
 Salary account...-.............. $2,S41.G5 Kent " ................. 440.00 supplies .........................,, 1,i20.0o |, Total. l.................-,.. $4,40l.6 .65 Now, D. c. Bell while Mayor re- eeived:

 Salary S2,0Q0 .00 Rent. ........-.... 240.60
 H. King White while Mayor receiv- cd on last two years:
 Salary .,............................ S2,000 Rent, nothing
 It will then be seen that Nr. Gold smith has cost the city government about twice as much as any other , person who has ever acted Mayor, and has actually not discharged the sauties of the office more than half the time. This only considers the money actually allowed Goldsmith, and does not take into considerat tion the large amounts that he has made tributary to his business by Yirture Of his office of Mayor by requiring all employees Of the City Government to trade at his store.
 The item of SLED appears to be for supplies furnished at various times in direct violation of the law, and without opportunity to compet- ing merchants to bid on these items.
 Now, this is not fair: Mr. Gold smith, as merchant, has no right to furnish Mr. Goldsmith, as Mayor, any supplies, or to make any con tracts with the City Government, and If our public sentiment is so ab- sssent of true spirit as to permit such things, then have your laws repealed, etc. Yours,
 TAX PAYER.

A Military Reception.

On last Monday night a military reception in honor of Maj. Benton Tunnah and Capt. ". F. Grove, of Little Rock, was tendered the mem bers of Chevalier Division, U. k. K. of P., and their lady friends, by Capt. and Mrs. George B. Moore at their residence on South Beech street.
 The spacious grounds about the residence were illumidated by loeo- motive headlights, while within the resplendent flags and banners of the order lent their beautiful colors to enhance the brilliancy of the scence.
 The Sir Knights wore the fuil dress uniforms, and their ladies evening costumes.
 The hours. occupied by cards, the supper table and a most eloquent response by Maj. Tunnah to the toast, "Pythianism," passed only too quickly.
