She had arrived in the city quite re-
Gently from the country and had still
much TO learn. For instance, when she
was told that she could not so for a
walk alone after dark, as she had
been accustomed to do In the primi-
tive security Of her birthplace, she
smiled the superior smile of one who
knows and IS wont to follow her own
wishes. -
So she started out one evening with
the intention Of dropping in'' to see a
friend for an hours chat before bed
time. Brightly and btfthely she skip
ped along, her head In the air. She
made 8 pretty picture, and it was
scarcely astonishing that she attracted

She affected not to see him at first
and FASTENED her steps. But he kept
pace and finally tried to converse at

Then she remembered the advice she
had disdained. Watching her opportu-
nifty, she increased her walk to q run
and sought refuge In large building,

where she was going. she rushed up q

her hand on the bell. Before she could

clamation from her pursuer, who stood

Piiins It On.

A convict in a western prison had
been extremely refractory, and differ
ent means were tried without success
to break his spirit. One morning the
superintendent said to the warden:
''That scoundrel No. 213 is behaving
worse than ever. Put him on bread
and water"
'But he is already on fast diet" re-
piled the warden.
''Then keep it up and give him q
cookbook to read."-New York Times.

DE LAMAR ITEMS.

The Glorious Fourth has passed and in
DeLamar, was a great success. The par
ade started in the morning thine O. clock
and consisted of floats, horribles and cow
boys. The floats were five in number,
the first carrying the goddess of liberty
and twenty orthirty little girls, the second
load of small boys, the next contained
Teddy in the forest, the next George and
Martha Washington, and the last was

to act as agent to receive subscriptions for
stock, setting aside a considerable block
of the same to be offered at home befor he

on the market, is meeting with such sue

parture for London may be considerably
delayed or indefinitely deferred. With
only a very brief time, spent among his
fellow miners, working for the Trade Dol

posed of upwards of 30, 900 shares of the
stock allotted to him for sale, which, with
20, 900 shares placed in the hands of M.
M. Hanson, one of the directors of the
company, and taken by him to Ohio,
to be disposed of among his friends in

The sports commenced after dinner and
were not finished until nearly dark.
The dance in the school-house Friday
night added greatly to the celebration,
and was enjoyed by fairly large crowd.
On Sunday the DeLamar ball-team and
a large number Of enthusiastic rooters,
went to Silver City, to witness the ball
game, between Silver and DeLamar The
score at the close of the game was con-
siderably one-sided in Silver's favor but
we consider that the DeLamar ball-tossers
did very well for team that had not
had practice on level field, let alone on
a field like Silver City's 1t is rumored
that the Silver band has been challenged
for amatinee next Sunday, in which game
DeLamar expects to make better show

NOT ON THE MAP.

One would have to scan the Boise dailies
and the different mining journals for
long while to discover that anything is 60
ing on in the mining districts in Owyhee
While the Boise papers have good dea
to say about the Black Hornet and other
mines near their own home which are yet
in embryo or in a chaotic condition, and
the mining journals are eager to publish
long letters from Nevada camps and from
the Cour d Alenes, the building and sue
cessfull starting of new mill and the near
completion of another one in Owyhee, and
the promising opening of new properties
and the deals made on others has scarcely
received a line of comment from any of
them. Well Owyhee county is getting
along quite well Notwithstanding this ne
glect to notice her leading industry. Up
until within the past few years the lead
ing busines men Of Boise acquired the
foundation Of their fortunes in Owyhee,
and Owyhee has contributed very largely
to the city's material growth and success,
yet they seemingly overlook us, but we
are still on the map.
]. G. Talbot, staff correspondent OF the
Boise Statesman, is nowin Owyhee gather
ing data and news Of what has been going
on here within the past year or more,
during which time we have carefully
scanned the Boise newspapers without
being able to learn that they had discovered
that Owyhee county was on the map Of
the State. Mr.. Talbot appears to be an
alert young man and we expect to find
that he viii discover there is something
doing in Owyhee's mining industries as
well as from other viewpoints before he
leaves here.

The Silver City Mining and
Milling Company.

On Thursday Of last week, articles of
incorporation were filed in Boise, with ].
f. Cook, Henry M. Hank and L. S..
Honstead incorporators. 1t is under
stood here that the incorporation is form
ed for the purpose of taking over and de-
veloping the Abel Berg property, consist
ing of four claims with a millsite on
Long gulch located on the eastern side OF
Florida mountain, east and north of the
original Trade Dollar claim These claims
among which are the well known Lone
Tree and Crown Point claims which have
been owned by Mr.. Bergh and other well
known residents for more than twenty
years, but never extensively developed,
although from near the surface much
phenomenally rich ore has been taken.
We can remember when some few years
ago Mr.. Berg brought down specimens OF
ore from one Of the claims named, which
caused a sensation in the camp, and from
cigar box full of which, pulverized in a
hand mortar, he is reputed to have ex-
tracted 81 POO ing gold.
The group Of claims lie between the
Trade Dollar mines on the west and the
Metallic M. company's property north
west, occudying what is ,pectively
one of the richest portions of the noun
tain, and can be opened at great depth
by tunneling from at or near Long gulch,
where water for milling purposes can
1t has been known here that parties,
through Mr.. Honstead, with whom he
is interested had secured an option on
this group of claims from Mr.. Berg and
his co-owners several days ago, aud the
incorporation now formed of which
the board of directors when chosen, will
reveal the names of men with ample
capital to fully develope the group for
all there is 10 it.
The amount of the capital stock has
been placed at 100000 ,OO0,00C
shares at 81 90 per share.
Mr.. J. Masters, manager OF the Po-
tosi NJ. & NJ. company has been engaged
as manager for this company also. En-
gineer F. w. Hulett is now busily en-.
gagged in making survey of the group
which will be plated, when the worl
of further development viii be actively
begun

THE BANNER.

The Banner mill, started June %, and
run without stop, shut down on July g.,
to give the mill men and miners an op-
portunity to celebrate the Fourth. 1t
had been running steadily for nine days
and quite satisfactorily, but advantage
was taken of suspension of work to make
few necessary adjustment and changes.
Belts on the pulleys required tightening;
some Of the settling pans had to have
leakages stopped, and were found to be
not properly adjusted for the discharge of
amalgam into the receptacles; the track
on the lower end of the gravity tram re-
quired to be raised slightly to enable the
cars to be dumped automatically; the
Callow elassifer called for some adjust
ment in order to do its work to the best
advantage. While the mill was not run
ming between Friday and Monday after
noon these changes and adjustments were
were made. Also a cement floor was
laid in the concentrate drying room, and
further work was done toward the COM
pletion Of the retort room and assay office
The mill was started again on Monday,
and is still running as nicely as Jurgen-
son watch, we hope and believe, turning
out valuable concentrates for sacking and
shipment and bullion to the qualification
of all concerned.
1t is certain, that for new mill, it is
doing its work very perfectly, and that a
very high percentage of thevalues passing
through it are being saved.
As for the ore now being sent down
from the mine, the manager and mine
foreman do not claim it to be other than
low grade, which has accumulated in the
various drifts, but more care is now taken
to assort out the clayey stuff and tale so
that it will show better results than dur
ing the first few days run And it is also
hoped that a cleaner and higher grade Of
ore will come down.
Work has also been started on the new
mill level tunnel, starting from the tram
near the rock crusher and running west
under the mountain to the ledge and cut
ting it more than 800 feet lower thae any
present opening and much more conven-
lent to the mill than the present working.
The preliminary work now begun on this
tunnel is by hand, but a compressor anc
power drills have been ordered and the
work will be continued by power as soor
as proper opening for beginning hal
been made.
This tunnel is designed to cut the Ban
ner vein about 1900 feet south of and S1s
feet deeper than the present crosecut tun
mel through which the mine is now being
worked. Drifting north on the vein anC
making an upraise, the entire mine car
be readily woked and ventilated from th'
face of this new tunnel and all the ore car
be delivered to the mill over a level track
and the gravity tram dispersed with. Be
sides this there is a strong probability o
cutting anothervein, showing good value
on the surface, before the tunnel is NOR
than half completed.
Mrs. Steele and the two young lad,
guests now visiting her, had the honor 0
breaking the ground for the new tunnel
throwing the first shovels of dirt from i
on Wednesday.
