SHORT STOPS.

I
delightful little party at Mrs. Crosson's
residence on Tuesday evening, in honor
of Mr.. and Mrs. Gombrig, before their
leaye-taking for the East.
Messrs Adams, Harris, Getchell ard
York made up pleasant party of Sill
yer City people who visited DeLamar
yesterday. OF course they were all
welcome callers upon the NUGGET push.
The annual reconstruction of the
foot bridge, crossing the raging Jordan,
in the rear of Crosson's store, was COM
pleted yesterday by Messrs Grigg and
Duquette, contractors, Duquette also
being the bridge architect.
Any idle men in town now can find
work among the ranches in the valleys.
Ranchers are coming up every day
looking for hay shovelers and are not
securing many. There are few Willie
Wearys about town who seldom get a
square meal, but they would rather
boast now about saving ice next winter
than think of the danger of working in
the hot sunshine.
Mrs. Joseph Manley, who has been
very i'll for some weeks past, will be
taken over to the railroad tomorrow,
on her way to Denver, to be operated
upon for the removal of tumor in her
stomach. Mr.. Manley wishes, through
the NUt GET, to express thanks to the
many big hearted people of DeLamar
not only for their sympathy but also
for the financial aid extended to enable
Mrs. NJ to be taken away for treatment.
The DeLamar Mining com pany has
gotten the proposed mill level tunnel
"faced up" and timbered, and a culvert
constructed to carry the water from
the gulch under the dump, and is level
ing the ground for the power plant,
preparatory for work with machine
drills. The tunnel, which will be over
5000 feet in length when it reaches a
point under the first veins in the mines,
will gain depth of little more than
1000 feet in that distance.
Our gallant Idaho soldiers are now
on their way home from the Philippines
and it is high time that plans were
being matured for their welcome home
in manner fitting the honors due
them. DeLamar has three and Owyhee
a number of as game lads in the regi-
ment as any now on board the Grant
and they must get the kind Of reception
which Owyhee enthusiasm knows how
to express. Silver City, as the county
capital, should initiate the move and
all the county will be sin it," Lieut..
Gov. Hutchinson, you made the address
on their leave taking and you have an
other opportunity now more auspicious
than the former occasion.
Undertaken Upham, of Silver City,
passed through here this morning with
a burial case for the remains of the
venerable Mrs. Moss, who died at the
home of her daughter, on Succor Creek,
yesterday. For many years she and
her son Ed, we'll known here, owned the
the property now the site of the town
of Wagontown, where they kept stage
station. Some weeks ago Ed left here
for Central Idaho on a prospecting
tour, and letter received by the family
from him a few days since advised them
not to write until they heard from him
again, as he was on the move and was
uncertain about where he might stop.
The Scotch Bob road to Murphy, the
railroad terminus, will not be built at
the county's expense. The County
Commissioners, in session this week,
settled that matter. After having the
present road and the Scotch Bob route
both surveyed by County Surveyor
Hulett, and having found that the
lowest bid for construction received
was s2400, and that the distance to
Silver City would only be shortened
four miles, and to DeLamar one mile,
the project was abandoned. In addit-
ion to this the Reynolds Creek people,
who are opposed to the new road,
offered to put up more than a thousand
dollars toward improving the present
road if it should be maintained, while
the advocates of the new route did not |
back their plan with dollar.
The Payette Independent says that
the new dredge now being operated
near that place on Snake river, is a
