George Wilson left for Silver City,
Idaho, last night on an errand fraught
with Importance to himself aud those
associated with him, as it involves the
capture of mining proposition in
which 5000 silver ore has just been
uncovered, says the Sail Lake Herald.

samples of the ore shown are going to

Sir. Wilson said during the afternoon
that matters we're in just such shape

most sensational strike had evidently
been made, and that Salt Lakers, in

the coming week with full particulars
and arrangements made that will per.

the statement of mining engineer
who has been spending a great deal o.
time in Nevada lately, and particularly
in the region to the north of where
most of the excitement of the last
three years has existed.

Booming Grand Visw.

Russell G. Massey, president of the
Grand View Land aud Irrigation Com
pany, returned to the scene of his ac-
tive work this afternoon, after week
spent in Boise booming this section OF
the country. Grand lew is located
on Snake river, south of mountains

second Garden Of Eden, where fruit OF
all kinds is so abundant that eating ii
is not forbidden. The town and sur
rounding country are growing rapidly
large immigration arriving every day
A new three-story hotel has its capac-
ity taxed to afford accommodations fol
the people coming in, and the ferry
across the river has been doing bnsi-

abundance, and the low altitude, to-

fruit raisers against late spring frosts
Mr.. Massey is enthusiastic over the

bright future.-Capita News.

Mid Winter Number Capital News

A most notable stroke of enterprise
was displayed by the publishers of the
Boise Evening Capital News, Tuesday,
by getting out 81 pages in its regular
daily edition and supplementing it
with magazine of Ga pages, profusely
illustrated with half tone pictures of
Southern Idaho scenery, public enter
prises, public and private buildings,
etc. Although we have not had time
to carefully peruse the text of either
paper or magazine, it seems TO have
been prepared by persons thoroughly
familiar with the business of this por-
tion of our wonderful state, and nearly
all of it thoughtfully written or COM
piled. 1t is splendid advertisement
of the resources of this portion of the
Gem of the Mountains. Copies of il
will be mailed to any address given the
publishers, accompanied by fifteen
cents, and we would suggest that the
citizens of Idaho give il wide circula-
ton among their eastern friends.

Nugget is pleased to learn that Hon.
G. M. Hays has leased the residence
next door to the one in which he and
his family formerly resided here, with

Jack skovern.

Away down in the narrow valley of
the sometimes turbulent, but now ice
locked, Jordan reposes the little min
ing camp of De,.amar The smoke is
lazily rising from the mill and the
snug cabins of the miners. All around,
like the sides Of vast ampitheatre,
rise the grand old mountains of Owy-
bee, white beyond comparisons; and
above all sky of blue so intense as to
be indescribable. The sun has ceased
to shine in the valleys, but is gliding
the mountain tops with glory not of
earth. This was, on the first day Of
this month, the setting for one of the
most impressive scenes the writer eyer
beheld.
Away up on the mountain side, sew
eral hundred feet above the town, was
gathered almost all of its inhabitants.
In the center of the group stood the
surpliced minister of God, and before
him an open grave, into which careful
hands were tenderly lowering all that
was mortal of one of their fellow
workmen. just as the coffin reached
its last resting place the voices Of the
choir, composed of sweet-voiced suns
of old Cornwall, rose strong and clear
in that masterpiece of Charles Wesley,
''Jesus, lover of my soul,'' aud echoed
aud re- echoed through the hills aud
valleys in ever increasing pathos
Then the words, most solemn Of any
on the tongues of men, Earth to earth,
ashes to ashes, dust to dust followed
by the impressive services Of the Min
ers Union, and concluding with the
dropping Of of piece Of evergreen, tok-
en- Of Immortality, into the grave by
each of the surviving members. Then
the filing of the grave, while the choir
sang that beautifully appropriate
hymn, "Nearer, my God, to Thee"
Standing there with uncovered head
as in the presence of the Deity, look
ing around upon the wonderfully beau
tifnl winter scene, and listening to the
solemn words Of the burial service AID
the singing of hymns breathing a
strong faith il the never falling love OF
God, the writer was overcome with the
solemn grandeur of it all And as the
singers, far from their native land, laid
one of their countrymen to rest, the
thought came, ''Here is poor Jack
Skovern, only a miner, one of earth's
lowliest yet the center of scene that
never yet was equalled by funeral OF

led urn or animated bust'r For sure
ly no cathedral with its columns grand
aud steeples pointing heaveuward
could compare with that great ampi-
theatre whose builder and maker is
God; and no music that ever swelled in
pealing al them the glorious note OF
praise, within the walls of any temple
built with hands, could equal in har-
mony sublime the trembling notes Of
pleading prayer that echoed through
the snow clad hills aud valleys of Owy
bee as those toilers in the deep con
cIuded their burial service by singing
the words Nearer, my God, to Thee
nearer to Thee.p

Nugget has copied elsewhere rather
sensational mining item from the Salt
Lake Herald, abont a man coming TO
Silver City on IL great silver, lead and
copper mining proposition We have
tried to run the matter down, but have
been unable TO get head or tail to il,
and think if there is anything to it the
gentleman must have either been
steering for South Mountain or Castle
Creek. If either of these localities had
been named it would not sound SO
much like hot air. But we have nei
ther lead nor copper mines in this dis
trict.

Why Arizona and New Mexico
Should Be Two States.

1t seems to us that our qnasi-infalli-
ble president is in error in urging he
admission of Arizona and New Mexico
as one state.
Each of these territories is much
larger than any state lying east of the
Rocky mountains, and if admitted as
one State would be as large and un-
wieldy as is Texas. In time the exist
ence of two such states in the south
western region, whose Interests are
bound to be more or less antagonistic
to those Of the other states, would
prove a serious menace 10 the republic.
With Oklahoma and Indian Territory
it is different, as these two territories
would not together make state larger
than several of the traus- AIissippi
commonwealths
The hidden, the suppressed, the real
objection to admitting Arizona and
New Mexico as different states, is that
this would give the west four addition
al senators instead of two, and thus
Wedheu ohe supremacy III Lne senate OF
the Older states. And it may be that
President Roosevelt considers the con
tinuance OF that supremacy as neces
sary TO the peace and prosperity of the
country.
However this may be. the west is en-
titled to more senators than it has;
and if it does not get them in one way
it will in another craftsmanship
would, therefore, it seems to us, dictate
that ither Arizona and New Mexico be
admitted as two states, or not admitted
at all at present.-W Wood River Times.

yesterday with Mrs. Ball-Sweney-ball to
defend the replevin suit brought BY i5all
to recover certain household furniture
which he claimed as his property, he was
informed that a bench warrant for his
arrest had been issued. as the present grand
jury had returned an indictment against
him. The indictment is on the charge of
knowingly marrying the wife Of another.
Sweney's attorney arranged matters so
that his client was not arrested during the
trial of the repevin suit and at the close
sweeney furnished bond in the sum Of $500,
the amount named by the court.
sweeney was arrested some time ago on
a similar charge filed by Ball in justice

discharged, the court holding that he had
not violated the law of this state which
permits the remarriage of persons lmmedi-
ately following a decree of divorce At

the decree of divorce obtained by his wife
