The next thing is to attend the prima-

able men be nominated for local offices.
The next thing is to watch the local gov
ernment and when anything crooked
seems to have been sprung, to demand
showing, when any public duty is neg
lected to cry out against it. The same
vigilance is needed when higher officers
are to be nominated. Thus were town
or city to be conducted on this plan, its
representatives would reflect the spirit Of
that town or city, and were every town
and city in state SO conducted the re-
presentatives of that state in the higher
national offices would best reflect the
spirit of the state they hailed from, and
complaints would cease. A free people.

homes and their small local governments
that they will make it clear that they

liberties guarded by just laws, and that
they are always ready to do any needed

But when the ruling passion Of com

there are sure to be defalcations, sure to

A SONG OF THE AGES
American Version

By CHAs. IRWIN JUSKiN.
I'm just common workman,
But I've got word to say.
The country's s getting richer
But I'm poorer every day;
The Boss is storing honey,
Like the bees around the hive,
But / have got to hustle
just to keep myself aliveI
The Boss has lots Of capital,
And education, too,
The boss can do lot of things
don't know how to do,
But he works hard and / work hard
And SO | cannot see
Why he should gobble up the loaf
And leave the crumbs for mel
The Boss he runs his auto,
But the trolley does for me,
My wife she does the washing
But his lady pours the tea,
His boys are allin college
But mine are all at work,
His girl is in society,
And mine is ''iust clerk
don't intend to kill the goose
That lays the golden egg,
| dom intend 70 whimper
Or stand around and beg,
But Pm waiting and I'm working
For the day that's sure to be
That brings fair division
To the lads like you and me.
CHORUS:
Oh There's barrels, barrels, barrelsl
Full Of money
And the Boss is spiling up the
Golden Honey
And it makes me pretty sore,
For | want little more,
And there ought to be little
More for me-
For the wheels are always hummina
And the better days are coming,
When we'll get fairer share
OF the earth and Of the air,
And the barrels will be full for
You and mel

Ernest Fl. McAuley and II. d. Rich
ardson, both OF Boise, came here the lat
ter part of last week, and Sunday went
out to Flint to look over the properties in
that district, returning here Tuesday
Mr.. McAuley at one time worked here as
miner for the Trade Dollar company,
but after leaving here he went to Alaska,
where he made little stake and later
returned to Emmett, where, we are told,
he invested part of bis surplus in
power plant, which has proven to be
fortune to him.
Nugget acknowledges receipt Of the 4th
revised and enlarged edition on Idaho
Mining Rights, which is published by
Orville E jackson, Boise, Idaho, and
whose specialties are corporation, mining
law and patents. Upon looking through
it, we also find that it contains laws of
the states Of Nevada and Oregon relating
to location Of mining claims 1t is as
complete and up-to-date compilation of
the laws Of the United States, and Of the
state of Idaho, relating to mines and min
! ing, rights Of way, easements, tunnel
rights, mill sites, mining contracts, coal
laws, ETC., as we have ever seen. Every
prospector and miner in this vicinity
ought to procure one of these handy legal
guides before starting out. Price $l.00
The worst enemies many mining sec
tions have are among their own residents.
They pretend to know all about all its
mines, their history, product, probable
future and their value. Then if some en-
terprising owner succeeds in getting in
vestors interested enough to come and
look at his claims, these moss backs
get in their work Instead of bringing
out the good points Of the properties,
they bring out all the bad ones and give
a black eye" to any sale in which they
hold no interest. If cyclone or an
earthquake could be induced to select
these knockers for general destruction
great many more mines could command
capital with which to operate Even
camp with plenty Of good mines and
prospects will have uphill work to pro-
gress if it contains few men of this kind
Any deal they may be in on is all right,
but those with which they have nothing
to do are sure to get the rough side of
their tongue. A stranger will, OF course,
be very apt to listen to an old resident,
who tells him apparent facts concerning
the mines of his section, and it is for this |
reason that men of this kind can do SO
much harm. Many mining sale has
fallen through because of hints or inuen-
dos, from such people as this. Men about
to invest in mining property are timid at
best and any devised story adverse to the
mine is apt to find a ready listener. No
decent person wants to see capitalists
swindled with worthless claims, of course,
but it is usually those claims which have
some merit which are attacked by the
knockers, blackmailers, back-cappers or
hoodoos to be found in almost every min
ing camp in the mining regions OF this
western country. When a live one''
comes to town, tell him all the good points
you know about the camp and leave your
hammer at home in the cellar.

Shake Hands Time Soon Here.

Next fall will be time when the boys
will be around, shaking hands, treating,
etc. They will be, oh so glad to see you
that they will fairly wrench your arm
from its socket. Some may get pretty
badly fooled, however, and have to come
off of their perches, as this new primary
system may shake out many surprises.
The new primary law requires that the
names of all candidates must be fled with
the county auditor, if for county office,
and with the secretary Of state, if for a
state office, at least thirty days before the
primary election, which is to be held on
August 20. This means that all nonlina-
tions must be filed on or before July 50.
You may depend on it that the politi-
clan will be around pretty soon. 1t is
hardly worth while to say anything about
political liars, because every one knows
that lying is part of the politicians
trade, and win continue to be in spite of
the scriptures, as long as politicians are
human. In other words, the race of
honest politicians is a thing of the past or
rather extinct; or, if there are still living
men who will not or cannot lie into office
it is because they are not office seekers.
If you run for Office and the other candi-
date receives more votes than are cast for
you, it is sign that you are not elected.

THE BOULDER.

In pubhs ing mining news it is not
always the most prosperous camp that
can supply the most interesting items.
In new camp, where claims and pros
poets are being developed, there is some
thing to be looked for and the surprises
are frequent. Such is the case in the
Boulder district. We were shown a
piece of rock from that district by a
party who is interested in that vicinity.
and who just recently returned from
there, which certainly looked good to
our expert. Development work still
continues and the values improve as
progress is made. Nugget sincerely
hopes that these gentlemen interested
in this district, may in the near future
realize something for their untiring
efforts. Keep your eye on Boulder.
