The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1899-08-11

Quite a number of DeLamar miners
and friends of Theo. Buckle attended
his funeral at Silver City yesterday.
The funeral was very large one.
The railroad has been completed
from Guffey to Murphy and the freight
teams, stages and mails now run to and
from Murphy from this end of their
routes 1t shortens the distance to the
railroad about six miles.
Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. Hutch
inson drove down from Silver City last
Saturday evening to attend the Della
mar Band Social. Both Of them ex-
pressed their delight at the music
rendered. Joe told us a good one on
his father, but we will not repeat it
until we have seen the elder gentleman.
Mark Colborn requests the NUGGET
to say that if che bevy of ladies who
left the Rebekah lodge room, on We'd
nesday night, to awaken their brother
members at the butcher shop, will call
and settle for the glass they broke by
shying rocks at the roof all will be for
given. They had better throw at the
windows next time, then they may be
able to hit the roof.
The DeLamar Cornet Band Ice Cream
Social last Saturday night was such
warm entertainment that the cool
shower in the afternoon and all the ice
cream consumed did not lower the
temperature of the large audience
present little bit. 1t was an all-round
happy social party. We are pleased to
report that it was also financial sue
cess, the band realizing snug sum of
money out of the entertainment. The
evening wound up with very enjoy
able dance.
Baker, the tailor, returned yesterday
from three or four weeks trip through
the Boise Basin country. He reports
great deal of activity throughout the
Basin, many of the mines working and
the people apparently prosperous. He
met George Fall and Henry Berry and
he says they are developing rich
property and prospecting. He also met
Ola Quean, who he says is doing we'll.
He was much impressed with the work
the dredges are doing in the Basin and
thinks that when they all get to run
ming smoothly they will make "a great
showing for the old placer districts.
A delegation of business men of |
Boise visited Salt Lake upon an invita-
ton from the officers of the Short Line. |
to talk over the matter of putting Boise !
upon the main line of the road. They |
came back and reported that they were
very much encouraged as the officers |
of the road appeared very favorable TO
the proposition and promised many
for Boise, should the
change be made. All that remains for
Boise people to do now is to raise the
money to build the road, and then they
have it, and there they are. Boise will
pull herself out of the stump, yet, some
of these fine mornings.
Song Lee, of Silver City, babe his
many friends in DeLamar good bye this
