A FEW weeks ago the SIGNAL 8

A FEW weeks ago the SIGNAL sug-
gested that Weiser give street fair
this fall. Immediately the Boise
papers took up the matter and sew
eral special mass meetings were held,
but finally it was decided to build a
wagon road to Thunder mountain
and let the fair 90. Now, there is
nothing that catches the population
like street fair with its free amuse-
ments and attractions on the street
corners 1t draws like mustard
plaster, pleases those in attendance
mightily-snd costs very little.

Chicago Company Negotiating for
Seven Devils Property.
Lewiston Tribune.

Lewiston Tribune.
j. b. Perkins, who returned a few
days ago from the Seven Devils min
ing district, reports that a Chicago
company is negotiating for the pur-
chase of the Idaho group of claims.
The Idaho is owned by Mr.. Perkins,
VIM. Kruger and G. w. Colby, of
this city. There has been 16O feet
of tunnel work on the group, with
other openings, and on the Idaho a
16 foot ore body is exposed. The
lowest assay secured from this ore is
$15 Az, and the highest reach 800
The prospective purchasers have
made two expert examinations of the
group, both being favorable. The
Idaho is considered by mining men
to be one of the best properties in
the Seven Devils district. That region
is overrun with investors looking for
copper, said Mr. Perkins in con-
versation yesterday, 1.-The immense
belt extends along the Snake river
from a point q few miles below Hunt
ington to the Ten Mile district, a few
miles above tins city. Capital Ia
now after the copper, and it will be
but a short time when a railroad will
be built down the Snake. :"

Coal Claims.

Emmett Index.
Clark and Soule were at the Land
Office at Boise Monday to attend
the contest cases on coal claims north
of Pearl, but no one appearing
against them their contest cases were
short and altogether in their favor.
They have two quarter section claims,
upon which they have opened up a
the surface, and which they have I'M
covered for 400 feet along the hill,
into the mountain where the vein is
a little above six feet in thickness
and of very much better quality
than it was at the surface, and The
quality is still improving as they get
further back under the hill. They
have also discovered that there is a
vein beneath the one they have been
working and are now sinking down
onto this lower vein. They have
gone down eighteen inches into the
lower vein at one point, but do not
know anything about the thickness
of it, as yet, though the quality is
good. They expect soon to let the
contract for getting out coal by the
ton. The tunnel and all parts
worked are well timbered and it is in
shape to take out the coal and there
cannot be doubt but there is a
large body of coal that is excellent
fuel

The first fax marketed from the
reservation this season was raised in
the vicinity of Peck and came from
a 1OO-acre field that yielded 20
bushels an acre The fax brought
the owner 81. So per bushel, or 1886
for the entire crop. The cash return
per acre was therefore $33. sc, and
the cost of production about - per
acre, leaving him q net profit of $25, :
sc, an acre. The market value of
land IN the Peck section is about $40
an acre, and in the instance above
cited the owner secured from =
single crop the value of his farm.

Japan has just been celebrating her
forty eighth birthday. Not the old ia
pan. II Is true, for the origin Of the mi
kado's government dates away back in
the musty past. but the birthday Of the
new Japan, which, awakening from the
lethargic sleep OF ages, has within less
than half century grown to be one Of
the foremost nations Of the earth.
The birthday of this new Japan was
July IA, 1853. on which date Commo-
dore Perry. with an American man-of-
war on n peaceful mission, sailed into
the harbor Of Kurihama. The 48 years
that have passed since then have mark
ed the transformation of Japan from a
medieval and almost barbaric nation
into modern and progressive indus
trial and military power. At the time
of Perry's sailing into Japanese waters
1t looked very much like a humiliation
of Japan, and the conservative party Of
the country so regarded it. But it was
the beginning of all Japan's later glory.
and the nation now celebrates the
CNcHL Will SEdtlluut. f1ueTlCau
ence, begun in Japan with Perry's land
ing, is continued not only by the devel-
opment of trade, by the intercourse Of
travel and by the education of Japa-
nese In this country, but by the organ
lied work of the Japanese American
association" which has reared a monu-
ment to Commodore Perry, the unvell-
ing Of which was the chief feature Of
the celebration just held. The ceremo-
MES, into which the Japanese entered
with much enthusiasm, were brilliant
and impressive. -Four American war
ships under command of Rear Admiral
Rodgers formed part of the pageant
The gratifying feature of it all, howev-
er. was the exhibition on the part of
the japanese of spirit of hearty good
will and profound appreciation toward
this country. through whose influence
they have been liberated from media
val isolation and apathy and started on
the highway of national development
and civilization.

to his paper. This is something
that costs nothing yet is of value,
and the wide-awake business men of
our city should give it consideration

The Colorado Springs Gazette
gives a page to the interesting career
of Judge Goodwin, the accomplished
and far-famed editor OF the Salt
Lake Tribune. In the absence of
K. E. Lockwood, editor of the Signal,
on vacation, noreyiew-of the sketch
will be attempted ny his substitute.
Only one of his ability, coupled with
his nnbounded admiration of that
great editor, can properly handle the
subject And yet the writer must
fudge" far enough to say that,
though new to the field 10 which the
Tribune holds sway, he has decided
that it is edited by man without
an equal in the newspaper world.

Tramway Survey.
Seven Devils Standard.

Seven Devils STANDARD.
Last Wednesday the surveyors
completed the preliminary survey on
the proposed aerial tramway that will
be built by the Boston & Seven
Devils Co. from the Peacock mines
to Landore. The line will be three
and half miles long and we under
stand the route is a very practical
one. The company now has force
employed IN building more ore bins
along side of the one just completed.
Work on the DEBORAH mines is in
full blast and rapid progress is being
made. Ore from this mine is rolling
into the big bins at lively rate. The
work is confined to opening up a cut
at the old tunnel and during this
week splendid body of ore was ex-
posed.

In glancing over the special cores

BLESSED be any influence that
will secure for Weiser satisfactory
system of waterworks. The privilege
OF using water for lawn purposes
will alone be worth the price. Lives
are in jeopardy every day, for no
ono proposes to stand by and be
robbed of his water-no stree. 1t
will take years to heal the wounds
caused by Observation-Disclosures over
the use of irrigation water in Weiser,
and the sooner the system is installed
the sooner can we begin to love our
neighbor as ourselves.

SHADY streets is not often the
subject of editorial discussion, but 1T
is of far more Importance to Weiser
just now than the Chinese situation
or the great strike in progress.
Many a town is famed forts delight
fully shady avenues, and attracts
desirable class OF citizens for no
other particular reason Personal
comfort appeals strongly to most of
US, and when we strike shady
bower on a summer day we want to
take up our abode right there. Resi-
dences that are surrounded by trees,
vines and shubbery are ready sale at
good figure, even though the house
itself is quite ordinary. Our streets
are spacious, and if lined with trees
the beauty of Weiser would be in
creased an hundred fold. Visitors
looking for locations are most strong
ly impressed with a place composed
of pretty homes. Plant plenty of
trees and bushes
