The Weiser semi-weekly signal. (Weiser, Washington Co., Idaho) 1904-1911, 1904-05-28

A most successful years work in
the public schools of Weiser was
brought to a close Thursday evening.
The public school is the foundation
stone of American liberty, and the
citizens of Weiser can point with
pardonable pride to their schools.
Prof. Martin and the able corps of
teachers under him have had the
help and sympathy of the patrons in
their efforts to make the schools of
Weiser the best in the state, and, if
one is to believe the reports, they
have succeeded. Congratulations
are due the school board, the super
intendent, and the teachers for the
eminent success of the city schools
this year

.THE CLOSING EVENT

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES HELD an
THURSDAY EVENING" TEACHERS
CHOSEN FOR NEXT YEAR.

Another milestone has been
reached in the work of the WelseI

with enthusiasm by the large audi
ence present.
Miss Phelps sang beautifully "The
Life of Love is But Day." and as
usual, could not leave the platform
without another selection.
DR.. D. R. Mcdonald, of the acad-
envy, delivered one of the most elo-
quent and helpful addresses upon

ever given in Weiser.
A quartet composed of Misses
Hughes, Crowell, Limerick and
Shearer sang SIN the Starlight, F" and
responded to an encore, after which

Rich Find Near Salmon City,

A special from Butte to the Salt
Lake Tribune says: One of the min
inc sensations of the day is the
fabulously rich find made by Schu-
macher and Olson, two Butte men,
on the Butcher Boy claim at the head
of Carmen creek in Lemhi county,
Idaho. The discovery consists of a
colored streak of ore about Is inches
in width and through the rock the
gold is shot in almost countless num-
bers of small nuggets, glistening be-
fore the naked eye, and of purity
that enables the yellow metal to be
cut like so much wax. Many of the
small granules of gold are worth
several dollars.
Schumacher and Olson are poor
prospectors and their delight over
the prospect of developing one of tue
richest producers in Idaho can be
compared only to that of the school
boy on a vacation. The two miners
kept their discovery secret until
they had located about 400 acres,
large tract of placer ground, mill
sites and water rights, in fact every
thing needed in the installation of
modern gold mill.
According to Schumacher the
strike was made in tunnel driven
in on the lead a distance of about 20
feet. A mammoth dyke, about 100
feet in width, carries the rich leads
This dyke is believed to be an ex-
tension of the great Montana Ajax
ore bodies. Schumacher was COM
PEELED to snowshoe his way out of
the mountains, the scene of discov-
cry being located high in the Carmen
range. The route to the claim is by
way of trail winding throughout
the mountains, a distance of 18I
miles from Salmon City, Idaho.

PEN PICTURE OF wEIsER.

Welser is one of the most sub
stantlal towns in Idaho. 1t is the
outttting point and commercial
center of some of the most promis.
ing mining districts in the state
districts that are being rapidly de-
veloped by ample capital, which is
opening up dividend paying mines.
In the Rapid River section the
Iron Springs company employed 25
men during the winter and 100 men
will be on the pay roll all summer.
The managers live 10 Welser and
their supplies are all furnished here.
The same is true of the Salzer- Ford
company, which is in the PRODUCING
class and employs about 100 men.
The Grouse Creek country, which
gives employment to large number
OF men; the Warren properties, and
the rich Marshal Lake district must
all draw their supplies from this
city.
The great mineral wealth of the
country tributary to this is not the
only asset A fine timber belt is en-
countered only few miles beyond
the terminus of the p. 81. N. rail-
way, which is already furnishing
lumber and railroad ties to Boise and
other points. In addition to this the
Weiser valley, with plenty OF water
and rich soil, forms one of the finest
agricultural and fruit sections IN the
state.
With all these great resources, the
town has no boom, but Is enjoying a
steady substantial growth that points
70 bright future. As an evidence

Another railroad for Weiser 10

Another railroad for Weiser is an
nounced in Portland by the incor.
poratlou of the Oregon & Idaho
Short Line Railroad company. This
company proposes to build a line
from the Columbia river via the
John Day country to Weiser. When
built this road will tap one of the
most productive districts in the
northwest, being rich in coal, grain
and stock. Weiser is to be congrat-
uiated in being named as the eastern
terminus of this proposed line, and
the organizers of the company are to
be commended for their foresight in
selecting Weiser as the point of con.
nection with the Oregon Short Line.

NEXT MONDAY.

The time is not far distant when
the dawning of another Decoration
Day is to burst upon us-the day
when those who have long since an
swered the roll call on high and have
pitched their tent on the eternal
camping ground are to be so kindly
remembered. Let us run up the old
flag that its shadow may fall upon
those who were their comrades, and
who, with the dead heroes, placed
their breast as barricade between
the enemies bullets and their coun-
try's flag that this union might
stand. Let us stop for the brief
space of day and take time to dec
crate the graves of those who
poured out their life blood for our
country. Yes, let us stop and help
the old veterans who are now living
among us observe this day so dear to
their hearts, the while remembering:
ION the slope of the peaceful hillside,
Where thickest the woodland and sod.
Where the pine, the oak and the maple
Whisper the praise of God:
Mid columns of massive granite,
Mid pillar and spire and stone,
is mound with the brief inscription:
TO soldier boy unknown.

DEMERE & HAMMOND's
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.

New York, oct. 1.-THE arrival Of
TO- 900 bales OF American cotton at Liv-
erpool. and the failure of a consider
able Austrian spinner, caused the Brit
ish market for a time to lose all the
substantial advance made early in the
morning. A striking feature in Liver
pool was the decline of only points
in spots, notWithsta nding the heavy
load of cotton received. 1t was soon
discovered that practically none of this
large quantity was for sale, and that
it would leave the docks for the mills
as fast as it could be reshipped. In
the latter part of Cay. prices rail-
lied and closed about 8 higher than
last night. Our market opened
lower i'm sympathy with the rather dis
appointing Liverpool, but the cause of
weakness abroad was plainly such
local one and without any bearing upon
our prices, that a rally quickly set in
and was not checked until a gain of
10 points had been established. Tele-
grams from all the South report re-
ceipts at interior towns surprisingly
small, while demand is active and
prices everywhere higher. This is the
stimulus which caused futures to adj
canve until noon, when govern
ment weekly weather report was pub
lished. There was nothing in the re-
port of special interest, certainly moth
ing to indicate an increase in the crop,
but the bears took advantage of state
ment that the weather had been ideal
and that the great bulk of crop had
been gathered. They argued from this,
that the movement must necessarily
be extremely heavy, but they are
reckoning without their host, if we
are to judge by the strong disposition
of farmers not to sell at any prices be-
low 10 cents. 1t looks now as if
spot cotton must come up to a level
which would be equal to 10 cents in the
interior, and it is plain to everyone
that prices for futures cannot remain
as low as they are. We, therefore,
naturally expect higher market, dur
ing the balance of month as there
can be no sounder foundation for
firm future market, than steady buy
ing of actual cotton. Two Fall River
mills, the Seaconnett and the Bourne
will make an attempt in the next
day or two to break the ranks of strik-
ers by throwing open their gates to
all who are willing to go to work at
the reduction proposed eleven weeks
ago. Liverpool is due to come to
lower tomorrow morning.

No Sale of Resins Reported During
the Market HOurs-AfternOOn Re-

Demand for Spirits Practically
Nothing Doing After the Opening
and Practically All the Days Re-
ceipts Carried over.
The naval stores markets were again
unusually dull yesterday, even resins,
which have been firm without break
for many weeks feeling the want of
demand to the extend of having their
tone altered from firm to steady. The
spirits market opened firm at 52A
cents, the close of the previous day,
with sales of $50 casks, and closed firm
and unchanged without further sales
being reported. In the post market
some bids were made at So cents, but
there was scarcely any demand at all
so that practically. the entire receipts
of the day have been carried over. The
receipts were S22 casks, and the ship
ments, 1,046. The New York market
was quoted quiet at SIC, while London
was reported at SS.71a.
The rosin market opened steady at
the closing prices of the previous day.
No sales were reported either at the
opening or at the close, which was
steady and unchanged. In the after
noon there arose a fair demand and
the majority of the receipts were sold
at about quotations, the outside figures
being paid where there were split
prices. The receipts were BIAS and
the shipments, $685. The New York
market was quoted steady at $3.50.
