l.. M. johnson, who has bonded a
group of mining claims on War Eagle,
including the Neversweat and Repub-
lie, and who has had several men work
ing on them for the past two weeks,
returned here last week accompanied
by L. II. Fellows of Chicago, who is
negotiating for their purchase and will
remain here with Mr.. johnson for sew
eral days.
Van Curtis, of Vale, Ore, who has
been here for several weeks, working
assessments on couple of mining
claims owned by him near the old
Trask arastra, took out about seven
tons of high grade ore while doing The
work and is stopping here to have it
crushed. He expects to get enough
bullion out of it to pay him big wages
for the time he has been here.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. D. Evans and their
family of six girls, ranging in ages
from 6 to Is years, took their leave of
Silver, Saturday morning, to reside for
the winter, if not longer, at Nampa. OF
course Mr. Evans will spend much of
his time in Owyhee, where he owns a
fine ranch (leased for some years to
Gomez, live stock and other interests.
But this community has lost a very

ly, only for the time being it is to be
hoped.
Hunt Dye is taking down his old
house on the east side of the creek Il
is said to be one of the oldest dwelling
houses in Silver City and it was con-
structed for the most part of huge
logs. AS it is far more valuable at this
time for fuel than for the purpose to
which it was intended it will soon be
converted into cordwood. There is
legend connected with the place to the
effect that many years ago a miserly
old chap secreted large bag of gold
dust somewhere about it and died,
without disclosing the hiding place of
his treasure, but its discovery has so
far not been reported by Mr.. Dye.
The Madison Square Theatre com
pany left here Wednesday morning for
Emmett, after a six nights engage
ment. On the first three nights they
played to crowded houses, but after
that they didn't do SO we'll Sunday
night they announced that they would
put on the same play another company
had given here few weeks previous
but there was so few there they did not
give it. The last two nights the show
had small attendance This was not
attributed to bad acting, however, as
they are all over the average, but to
the fact that they we're originally billed
and advertised here for only three
nights.
A o'clock wedding occurred at De-
Lamar Wednesday morning, when Miss
Idaho Sotheren and Mr. Harvey Brown
were united in marriage, at the home
of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.
r. Sotheren. Archdeacon Jennings, of
Nampa, performed the ceremony. After
partaking of the wedding breakfast the
happy couple left by private convey
ance for Murphy, to take the train for
the groom's former home at Cleveland,
Ohio After brief honeymoon they
will return to DeLamar to make their
permanent aboue. Both are among
Owyhee's most popular young people
aud have hosts of friends who wish
them much joy.
The Owyhee Brewery was the scene
of another fire last Tuesday evening,
about O'Clock, which resulted some
what more seriously than a former
similar occurrence The fire caught
from one of the furnaces under a pan,
and was being heroically fought by the
proprietor, Mr. Fritz Schleifer, when
discovered on the outside. A line of
hose was soon connected up and the
flames quenched. but not until Fritz
had tainted from the intense smoke
and had had his feet badly blistered
from the heat. The loss in material
and apparatus is estimated at near
$1,000. The timely arrival of help is all
that saved the life of Mr.. Schleifer, the
destruction of the brewery and that
entire portion of town from eminent
danger.s
