Return of W. f. M. Delegates.

harles A. Harrison and Emmett
Morrow, delegates from the Silver City
miners union, and Fl. Hoskins from
the DeLamar miners union, to the
Denver Convention of Western Fedora
ton of Miners, returned home Wednes-
day, all reporting that they had had
most interesting meeting, very harmo-
nious, except for the wrangle over seat
ing the contested Butte delegation. A
large amount of important business was
transacted. The officers now held in
Idaho, under charge of completely in
crime were permitted to hold over for
another year as an expression of the be-
lief of the convention in their inno-
cence of the charge. But the reports of
what was done by the convention have
been SO fully published in the daily pa
pers that the delegates felt it unneces-
sary to repeat them.
AS to the conduct of these delegates
while turned loose in a big strange city,
we are compelled to accept the report
of each separate delegate that the others
were models of propriety, and even
more so in regard to Charley Harrison
who, it leaked out, professed to have
experienced change OF heart while
there and had joined religious sect
known as the Holy Rollers

They Say

That the color line was not drawn on
the crew working on the Potosi shaft
house, out of regard for the feelings of
the company's manager.
That the reason why couple of la
dies recently arrived here have not
been seen down town yet is because the
trunks containing their glad rags have
been delayed on the road between here
and Murphy.
That when the ladies bluff was called
yesterday the market price of straw
berries advanced several points.
That only for the Rathbone Sisters
there would be nothing doing here on
the Fourth.
That out of all the Boise visitors from
here last week, only one got punkey.
That If Bob Walker will consent to
run for sheriff this year no other per-
son will be in the race far enough to
have the vote counted.
That there are a number of good men
looking longingly in the direction of fthe
county assessors Office.

Mr. and Mrs. r. H. Leonard Sr.,

the present"flower of the entire family
their grand daughter, the infantile Miss
Crutcher, arrived here on Monday, to
spend the summer among their old
friends in Owyhee. All of them look as
il they had of late been following a rich
pay streak, especially the old gentle
man, to whom a winters enjoyment
and the early and delicious fruits of the
Clearwater valley have added twenty
pounds averdupois, but not another
hair to his fine looking, seventy-five
year old head. The worthy couple have
bought themselves nice home on Nor
NAL Hill, Lewiston, which everybody
here hopes they may enjoy during their
remaining years. Mr.. Leonard was the
pioneer mill man of Owyhee, aud has
doubtless milled and handled more of
the rich products of our mines in the
shape of bullion than any other person.
But always prodlgal with his earnings
and honest with what passed through
his hands none of it ever stuck to his
fingers, aud old age found him with
limited means, and it remained for his
interest in the Banner mining property
to put him and his charming elderly
helpmate in comfortable circumstances
during their travel together down life's
decline.

Castle Creek Mines.

w. D. Evans and D. B. Santry came
in from their mining properties on
Castle Creek. Wednesday, Mr.. Santry
brought with him samples taken from
across the width of the shaft now being
sunk on their Florence claim, and now
down to a depth of so feet, which he
had assayed at Dewey yesterday, the
result showing an average value OF
S3l.20 gold, for width OF nine feet from
the foot-wall, the hanging wall not being
exposed. No test was made for copper
values, but Mr.. Santry says he is conf
dent the ledge will run from to II per
cent in that metal The Florence claim
is location made in January and is at
the head OF Reservation gulch, about
two miles from Sparks ranch, on
Castle Geek, and about four miles east
of the Goodman mines now being de-
veloped by Nampa parties This prop
erty comprises three claims, favorably
located fol working, with an abundance
of timber aud water. The vein is trace
able on the surface the full length OF
the claims and extends northwest
through the Doris and Elk claims. be-

the character and with of the ledge at
that Depth This group is owned and
being developed by Owyhee men-John
c. Connors, DR.. w. r. Hamilton, W. D.
Evans and D. B. Santry. They all
visited the claims this week and feel
much elated over the prospect not only
of their own holdings, but of this new
Castle creek district in general, feeling
that it will develop into one of the most
productive districts in this portion Of
the state.
Besides this group the same parties
have other holdings near Black Butte,
five miles further up Castle Creek,
known as the Portland Group, which
they consider equally promising.
Mr.. Santry also informs us that
Messrs Foster and Williams of Nampa,
have considerable force of men devel-
oping the Goodman properties; have
built a good road from the Clyde Noble
ranch, up the creek to the Goodman
claims, over which to haul supplies and
machinery. and have stamp mill or
dered and now on the road to be placed
on their property. 1t will be run by
water power, the creek supplying ample
power for that purpose. They have put
up clearinghouse and assay office at
Goodman and are pushing work with

The outlook for this new district is
certainly very encouraging. 1t has
