What is sadder. says the New York
Times. than the way in which the Poles
of Polish Russia were forced TO greet
the coming centenary of their great
poet. M:ckicwicz. They were permitted
to give money for the erection CT mon
ument which was TO keep alive the
memory of Mickiewicz, but were not al
lowed TO print or mention in any way
his name. The day the monument was
unveiled speeches were prohibited, and
no applause was heard. What the
crowd did when the monument was
seen waf to keep a dead silence, but
every head was uncovered.

The NUGGET is extremely sorry that
the accomplished gentleman who
started to make daily out of the
Nampa Leader failed to make the
proposition stick. Nampa is town
with bright prospects, but not yet big
enough to support daily paper. What
the town needs is weekly paper which
will fairly and truthfully tell of the
agricultural, horticultural and business
advantages existing there, capable of
supporting a large population. The
town has the great Owyhee mines and
hundreds of miles ofsplendid cattle and
sheep ranges south of the railroad to
support it, and on the north timber and
mining regions almost sufficient to be
developed into an empire. In the way
of railroads and proposed lines of rail
way, Nampa now has an advantage over
every aspiring town in Southern Idaho
for becoming the trade center of this
portion of the state. With the pro-
posed road completed north as far as
the Payette, Nampa can be made to
virtually control the immense lumber
industry, bound within the next few
years to be of leading Importance. The
irrigation canal systems whose main
offices are now in Nampa, will, in the
future, alone support a big town there.
Only think how brief time it has been
since the first ditch was built across
the sagebrush desert which is today
shipping agricultural products from
Nampa, and then think of the future
possibilities A good, reliable weekly
paper in Nampa should be supported
by every man owning lot or doing
business in the town and by every
person owning forty acre ranch under
the canals which have transformed the
desert, or are Transforming it, into
fruitful fields.

The snow has nearly disappeared at
the Buffalo Hump and prospectors and
miners are going into that district in
great numbers. Had the season not
been unusually late we would have now
been able to prove or disprove the great
reports regarding the wealth of that
newly discovered mineral region. All
reports, however, now coming from
there tend to confirm the most glowing
accounts given during the late fall and
early winter months. Great things are
expected from Idaho county.

The NUGGET regrets that the COM
mittee of arrangements for the Fourth
of July celebration has not yet sufii-
GENTLY matured its plans that we could
publish them in this issue. We can
only state that we are to have cele-
bration and that sufficient sum of
money has been raised to be assured
that there will be a picnic and parade
during the day and grand ball at
the hotel at night. The band has been
engaged for the day aud the orchestra
will provide good music for the ball.
Everybody has promised to work to
make the celebration a success.

The contest is now on which is to
determine whether law and order shall
prevail in the Ceur d'Alenes or whether
another seven years of mob rule shall
exist. 1t is better that every mine in
that district should remain perman-
emily closed than that the strife and
discord should continue. Both sides
of the differences are being given an
opportunity to be heard now, with a
judge of eminent ability and fairness
presiding, and able legal talent EN-
ployed to present the claims of the
opposing parties.

How true it is that real history can
not be written until the generation in
which it is made has passed away. The
history of the 9ur d'Aleue troubles
of seven years ago has never yet been
truthfully told. The history now being
rapidly made in that turbulent camp is
at the present time so intermingled
with an overwhelming amount Of false
hood that it will take a generation to
sift the facts out Of the mass. These
falsehoods start as tri1es from the
court house in Wallace and the "bull
pen" in Wardner and grow into noun
tains before the yellow journals get
through promulgating them.

1t is cheerfully argued by the Lead
vile Miner that the lockout Of the
smelter men in the state of Colorado
aud the consequent laying off of many
miners is not an unmixed evil, as many
of the men are now out in the hills and
gulches doing their annual assessment
work or work for patent. Much pros
pecting will also be done. The work
ingman is unlike the called capitalist,
who when period of depression comes
along sits down and talks "calamity"
and discusses the "intimidating of
capital" but he generally hunts up a
lease or goes out and hunts up a mine
for himself. Successful mining men
have not stopped any new development
work, and will start work in contem-
plation Notwithstanding all calamity
talk, as they appreciate the fact that
the present state of affairs has no bear
ing on new work, and that when they
get ready to ship ore there will be a
place to sell it.

NOTES ABOUT MANKIND.
Where Men Are TT Her or Heavier
Than Others-TrnveIs of
the Blood.

The average weight of a man in the
latitude of New York is 14O pounds, of
a woman 1875.
The average height of Americans has
been about five feet seven inches for
men, five feet four for women. The
average has unquestionably been low
cred by immigration of small races,
like the Italian.
In Kentucky and Vermont and in
Minnesota, where most immigrants are
Scandinavians, the average height of
man is an inch or so greater.
Lunatics are smaller than sane peo-
pie. and are seldom fat. On the other
hand. centenarians are also generally
small-boned and lean.
The blood completes its circuit
through the body in % seconds, and
in three minutes every drop passes
through the heart and lungs and is re-
vitalized.
Figure this out. A drop of blood
will travel G1,320 miles year. In "a
years blood corpuscle would travel
5,l50.soS miles.
For that matter, a reasonably active
man walks about 297,OOO miles-more
than ten times the earth's circum
ference-in "a years, just trottins
about his house and Office.
The average weight of mans brain
is three pounds eight ounces; of wom7
ans slightly less, but, of course

The two lines of railrnad are being
pushed for the Seven Devils as fast as
money and means can crowd them
along. The mines are being opened
and this year may well be counted as
the one awakeningan industry in Idaho
which will grow in time to be of vaster
proportions than any she has hereto
fore exploited. 1t has been slow start,
for twenty years or more ago, the great
deposits Of copper in those mountains

Professor Rossiter W. Raymond, of
the New York Engineering and Mining
Journal, or that journal, rather, in
which he now poses as consulting en-
gineer," continues to lay itself open to
the charge of being a black mailing
sheet, by its attacks upon prominent
mining properties. Bingham, Utah,
property owners are now showing the
journal and the professor" up. We
would like to see the history of it and
him written up in true colors from the
time the professor" received $4,000
for "experting" the little Pittsburg, at
Leadyille, more than a score of years
ago. Strange, isn't it, how long it takes
to find out some humbugs?

The Blue Bird Mining Co., have their

mer. This company is all DeLamar
miners, all good men, and the entire
community wish them success in their
enterprise.
The examination of Hardesty and
Starr, arrested on the 18th inst, upon
charge ofgrand larceny, continued from
last Friday, is in progress today in the
justices court here. Starr, who was
shot, having sufficiently recovered to
be brought before the court.
Get ready children and we will have
rousing time on the Fourth. We al
know as well as Mr.. Young, editor Of
the Iowa State Capitol, that it is our
"National Christmas" and it should be
celebrated by all, and in a spirit of
patriotism in which every one should
pay tribute to his country.
Mr.. Prater, who was injured in the
mine three weeks ago, had the bandage
removed from his shattered wrist yes
terday and appearances indicate that
il will not be stiffene1 when fully
healed. His back is also doing nicely
ami his full recovery from his injuries
anticipated. Considering the character
of his injuries the surgical skill with
which he has been treated by DR..
Plumer is worthy of the highest CON-
mendation.
The Fourth of July program has been
sufficiently matured to enable us to
report that there will be big time
an oration and parade in the morning,
followed by children's races, bicycle
races and other sports, and in the after
noon foot and bicycle races in the lower
town and at night grand ball at the
hotel The platform for the morning
exercises will be placed across the
street from the hotel. Children's re-
freshments will be spread in the school
house.

The postmaster general, nearly ten
days ago, ordered all mail addressed to
members of the idaho regiment, now in
the Philippines, to be held in San Fran
cisco until their return to that port.
This, of course, means an early return
of our gallant boys to their homes. We
may therefore expect to greet our boys
during the latter part of July or early
in August. Won't they get a rousing
reception then!
The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1899-06-30

Do not let the light of Liberty Day
dawn upon your premises until you
have brushed them up a little nicer
than some DeLamar premises are to
day. No use of putting evergreens in
front of your place and hanging out
Old Glory while there is a lot of rubbish
in front of your door. Uncle Sam will
not believe you are trying to honor
him if you do.

Prophecy About Spain and America

Among the various prophecies re-
corded in these columns, the following
seems not to have found place. II
occurs in the twelfth of Sir Thomas
Brownies Miscellany Tracts" pub
lished in 1856, folio, with short
preface by Thomas Tension:
Wher New England shall trouble New
Spain,
When Jamaica shall be Lady of the Isles
and the Main
When Spain shall be IN America hid
And Mexico shall prove a Madrid,
When Mahomet's ships on the Baltick
shall ride, s
And Turks shall labor to have Ports on
that side,
When Africa shall no more sell out their
Blacks
To make Slaves and Drudges to the
When Batavia the Old shall be contemn'd
by the New.
When new Drove Of Tartars shall China
Subdue,
When America shall cease to send out
its Treasure,
But employ it at home in American
pleasure,
When the New World shall the Old in
Nor count them their Lords but their
Fellows in Trade,
by Land.
Not in deep Water but from Sand to
Sand,
When Nova Zembla shall be no stay
Unto those who pass to or from Cathay
Then think strange things are come to
light,
Whereof but few have had foresight
These verses were sent to the knight
of Norwich by friend, with a re-
quest that he would consider the proph-
ecy, which he did in an Exposition
covering three pages. His chief prog
nostieations are these: That the New
England colony would in process OF
time invade the American Spanish
ports by depredations or assaults, and
would not improbably erect new do
minions in places not yet thought of;
that Africa would be civilized; that
America would spend its gold and sill
yer in great undertakings, magnificent
structures and wars; and that its COM
merce would invade Europe, as that OF
the Greek colonies invaded Greece.
Comparing the date of the capture OF
Jamaica with that of the death OF
Sir Thomas Browne. I should place
the prophecy not much earlier or later
than 1910 Parts of it have been Curl
ously fulfilled, and it deserves to be
made more accessible than heretofore
