There are plenty of beneh-warmers
around town these days ever ready to
tell you what they could do and what you
should do and what they would do. But
they always supply that little word iii"
and as matter Of fact, they are too lazy
to "do" anything else but soak up all
the booze they can get on iaw-bone or
otherwise.
Born To Mr.. and Mrs Fritz Schleifer
Tuesday, August Is, 1910, bouncing big
baby girl Mother and child are doing
nicely, and so is Fritz, who, besides treat
ing everybody in town to several gallons
of his malt product, also passed out some
champagne water to his more intimate
friends. Luckily the editor Saw none Of
this or he might have been tempted to
take a swig. Nugget, however, congra-
tulates this happy family and hope that
the little girl may live to lead long and
useful life of which her parents may be
justly proud.
The Owyhee Brewery, Of this place, be-
sides putting in 2-horse power motor
with which to run the heavy grinder, also
} now has good and complete water sys-
! tenn all of its own, having tapped the
ditch just above the sherif7s residence
and piped direct to the brewery, giving
better pressure than ever. The brewery
uses more water than any other business
house in town and by putting in sys-
tenn of its own it will mean a saving to
our town as well as to himself of many
gallons of water daily. This summer be-
ing so dry, it has caused the water in our
storage tanks TO go down considerable.
Theo. H. Philip was up here again
this week from Jordan Valley, and re-
ports that his store building has been just
about completed and will soon be ready
for business at his new stand down there.
We are sorry to lose this merchant from
this old camp where he has been in the
hardware business for 50 many wears and
where he has been such a loyal supporter
of the best interests of the town and com
munity, and, since it must be 50, we most
heartily recommend him to the people ol
Jordan Valley and vicinity and also assure
them that they will always find him hon
est and upright in all their dealings with
/, him and an Al mechanic.

: Rake, Iowa, were here this week looking
, over the different mining properties in
