The Portland Group of Mining
Claims. near Castle Creek,
Bonded.

The group OF mining claims, known
as Portland Nos. ], 2, 3 aud A, located
south of Black Butte, near Castle Greek,
this county, were bonded last Saturday
by the owners, Andrew and w. D.
Evans, DR.. w. r. Hamilton, j. G. Con-
mrs and D. B. Santry, TOD. H. Mccain.
This gentleman, representing capital
lists whose names have not been report
ed to Nugget, has spent considerable
time examining properties in thfs new
Castle Creek district, making numerous
trips thither, takiug samples aud hav-
ing assays made, and finally making an
offer for bond on The Po, tland group
which was accepted bv the owners.
Nugget is not at liberty TO publish the
amount TO be paid bur can say it runs
into six figures, the first payment Of
$4,000 to be made August 10, next and
the other payments to run through
little more than one year, but all to be
made during Lext year.
The Portland group of claims is To-
Gated about one and half miles east of
the south fork of Castle Greek, south Of
Black Butte, 3 or 4 miles west OF PIxley
Basin and the Tybo- BIuebird group of
mines, about six miles up the creek
from the Goodman group, now being
developed by Nampa parties The
ledge of ore is reported to be fully 80
feet wide, aud Mr.. McGhan has said,
since securing the bond, that his aver
age samples had assayed so surprisingly
we'll that he had doubted the accuracy
of his sampling and had made other
trips to the property only to have them
confirmed.
This group, however, is not the same
been working. The Rawhide group
north of Pixley Basin, OF which a report
was published in Nugget four weeks
ago is the one on which they place the
greater estimate of value. Everything
now points TO the Castle Greek district
as soon becoming one of the mos6 i'm
portant mining camps i'll lhis corner OF
Idaho, covering a highly mIneralized
territory of a good many miles in ex-
tent on either side of Plxley Basin, from
the Goodman mines turthest down the
creek through the RawhIde aud ada
cent claims and the Typo -Bluebird, on
south aud west past Black Suite. The
accessibility of The district from the
railroad at Murphy, good water sup
ply and timber near at hand and the
character of the minerals are all In its
favor. The Portland mines are about
% miles in a southeasterly direction
from Silver City. and the northern END
OF the district about the same distance
from Murphy with no summit to be
crossed.
The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1906-07-20

Charley Kingsley has hauled tools
and supplies up to the Gold Rock prop
erty at the head of Blue Gulch, where
he has taken a contract from DIR. San
ders of New York, to run 200 feet of
tunnel and 80 feet of crosscut. Every
thing looks favorable for the develop
ment OF big mine ON that we'll known
property.
All the cement foundations are set
and the machinery is beng put up at
the Potosi shafthouse. 1t will require
but short time to move the trans
former and dynamo down from the
Poorman and connect them with the
hoist. Only some wire and electric fix
lures are still awaited, when we. will
have a mine almost in town in full
swing, after being idle for good many
years.

There is pending in ihc Is yhui lcgis-
latuu q hi.i which & enacted into hv-
wall authorize Che commissioners of the
various counties 70 cau upon the sherias
for the labor of convicts in the prepare
tion O.. road material aud the construction
of roads
This bin meets with the hearty APP
proval of the Baltimore American. which
urges the Legislature 10 enact it. This
system, North and South. it Says "has
been thoroughly tried, and it has been
found to work admirably from every point
Of view, while the system Of convict COM
tract labor has been criticised with adj
verse severity as tending TO the profit Of
private corporations. while the public
must be responsible for the safe-keeping
and maintenance OF the offenders. Il IS
so palpably logical that the public should
get all the benefit from the labor Of these
uniortunates and that in no field Of labor
could they do as much good as upon tho
public highways, that it is remarkable
they were not so employed long ago"
And what applies 10 Maryland, in this
connection, applies also TO Delaware. Il
is true that we have not in this State, at
this day, the large number Of unemployed
convicts and other prisoners that we had
some years ago. Our admirable County
Workhouse has provided remunerative
employment for an persons who are sem
fenced to imprisonment by the courts
in New Castle county.
But the jails Of Kent and Sussex are
still filled with idle prisoners, who might
be proftably employed in the construo-
tion OF the new roads for which the people
Of those counties are constantly clamor-
ing That it would be better ior these
prisoners TO be employed as well as better
for the counties TO employ them, will not
be disputed In fact, all over the State
it would be expedient and profitable to
employ prison labor in the construction
Of new roads, wherever possible We of
New CASTLE county know what the mod
en roads cost to build And if prison
labor viii materially lessen this cost Of
construction, there is plenty Of It obtain
able. Certainly, in the work Of preparing
materials for road construction, prisoners
at our workhouse could be conveniently
and proftably employed.

niscnLAEIoUs REoohD
Inc Harmony proposltion.

The harmony proposition boy the Union
Republican State Committee, at Dover
on Saturday afternoon, will bring the
Regular Republican State Committee
back to a consideration Of first principles
The split of the Republican factions,
in 1896, was not over the apportionment
Of delegates TO State Conventions. lt
was over the rule Of Addicks-th de-
mand Of the Regulars for his complete
elimination from the contest for United
States Senator.
II is truc that since then two appor-
tionments have prevailed, the Regulars
retaining the old one, which was estab-
lished in 1865, and the Unions making
one Of their own. which gave opportuni-
ties for a more liberal representation Of
that faction in future State Conventions,
in the event Of the factions coming to-
gothor This apportionment the Union

poses TO abandon, and TO enter into COM
mon primaries for the election Of dele

The Sussex County JAN.

A pen picture Of the Sussex county iail

journal, whose office premises adioin the

of the menyiabe conditions existing in
that delectahle institution.

can doubt the necessity of radical prison
reform in lower Delaware That the
prisoners now kept in hurtiu idleness at
Georgetown would be infinitely better oil
at tho County WorShouse, whore thev

occupations goes without saying. That
they would be better Oft and the taxpayers
Of Sussex county better off also, by being

Ministors Denounoe BrIbory.


The action Of the Wilmington Metho-
dist Episcopal Conference, in session AZ
Pocomoke City, Md, on Saturday, in
relation to the subject Of bribery and cor
ruption, was most satisfactory and en-
couraging Il comprised, in effect, an
indorsemont Of the Anti-Brbory League
Of Delaware, stern denunciation OF
bribery and vote-buying at elections
and the solemn pledge Of the ministers
who compose the Conference to preach
and work and vote against bribery and
all forms Of election corruption in the
future.
Coming from such body, this declara-
tion is as significant as il is assuring. It
brings TO bear against the great evil OF
vote-buying the strength and influence
Of a powerful religious body, the MEM
bership Of which extends over the entire
Peninsula. It is, Therefore, bound to be
a potent force in advancing tho good
work of election reform in Delaware.
Coming so soon after the organization of
the Anti-Bribory League, il is great
impetus 70 the campaign for political
righteousness so effectively set in motion
by that body. It viii strengthen the
work of the League in every respect.
And what the Wilmington Methodist
Episcopal Conference has done, other
religious bodies Of the State and Penin-
sula-for the conference delivcnnce
applied to Maryland as well as to Della
ware-will do. The Episcopal Diocese
of Delaware. the New Castle presbytery
and the Maryland Annual Conference OF
the Methodist Protestant Church will be
in session before the political campaign
in this State is very old, and each body
may be expected 10 take cognizanco oI
the great issue that has been raised by
the resoluto fight against election cor
ruption now under way in this State.
supplemented by such powerful agen
cies. the work Of the Anti-Bribery Loagu,
is bound 70 be successful. Il is now saf,
TO predict that Delaware has been dis
graced for the last time by purchase,
