The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1908-07-03

has struck it rich.
John McGough, who has selected an SO
Of land under the north side Twin Falls
project, some eight miles below Miner,
having cleared and fenced 10 acres of his
ground and planted crop on it, is home
again for a short time. He says the set
tiers under the project are all apparently
happy and busy, some of them being
offered considerable bonuses for their Sc
lections, and all of them busy making
improvements.
Gibson, the erstwhile Silver City and
DeLamar tailor, and regarded here as the
best workman and filter that ever hit the
camps, but who went to Wood River
some years ago, is back here again and is
now in the employ Of Sweeney, the cloth
ing man, prepared to cut, fit and make
new suits, alter or make over misfts,
clean and repair clothes and do anything
in his line customers may require.
Sam scaddan, an old time miner and
rounder Of DeLamar, is now a guest at
Hotel de Rock, where he expects to put
in the next few days, having been sent
there by Judge PIN, after trial for beating
poor, little, old Ernest Stupe, who was
left to look after saloon while the bar
keeper was temporarily absent. Sam,
old and nearly gone, dubbed his gun and
beat the other old man over the head
with it because he refused to go behind
the counter and give him drink.
While here last week, Dr. F. L. Sutton,
of New York, and Charles G. A. Pflch,
of Chicago, secured an option on the Mar
gaset, New York and Chicago group of
mining claims, on War Eagle Mountain,
from Thilo Nette and James Iuglis, the
present owners. This group, formerly
known as the California group, is the
property formerly belonging to the Cleve-
land M. Co. but was forfeited by that
company for failing to represent the claims
last year, and relocated by Nette and In
glis. They are a southern continuation
OF the old Pauper mine, with a tunnel ex-
tending into them through that property.
Mr.. Nusbaum had considerable work
done on them two years ago and con-
siderable quantity of good grade of ore
was taken from them and shipped and
sold at that time, but Nusbaum seems to
have proven a difficult person to collect
money from and several liens were placed
on the mines, and they were finally per-
mitted to be forfeited in default of pay
ment of assessment work.
The pleasant people who were here last
week to see the Banner mill start, prin-
cipally the guests OF Mr.. and Mrs. Steele,
have nearly all departed, Messrs Dureson,
Peterson and Libby not waiting for the
mill starting, leaving for a visit to Seattle
and other Coast and Sound cities before
the event took place Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Shiek, DR.. @. Edward Booth and
daughter, Mrs. E. w. Brace, and Mr.. R.
A. McMichael, all of Minneapolis, and
Henry X. Doll, of Scranton, Pa, remain-
ed over and attended the company's
stockholders meeting, Wednesday, and
took their leave Friday. Mr.. and Mrs.
1. L. Nelson and their daughter, Anna,
and Misses Sadie Libby mad Flossie Peter
son, are still here, but Mr.. and Mrs. Nell
son and daughter expect to leave for
Boise early next week, where they will
remain for some days before returning
home. The last-named young ladies',
Misses Libby and Peterson, will remain
here few days longer, and our young
society folks have hopes of keeping them
here during the remaining pleasant sum-
mer season. Miss Peterson has promised
to favor them with song during the ex-
ercises at tomorrow's Fourth of July cele-
bration.
