VOLUME Xxx.

This Issue begins the twentieth volume
of the Nugget. II is with no small de-
gree of pride that we claim that the paper
has always faithfully represented the best
interests of Idaho and Of 0wyhee county
especially, and we believe has merited
the liberal support which has been given
it by mine owners and business men. 1t
has tried faithfully to represent their best
interests and proposes to continue TO do
SO at all times. Its accounts of the Owy-
hee mines have always been carefully
written, and what it may have lacked of
giving faithful reports from all the dis
tricts, has been due more to the want of
interest in such matters from mine and
claim owners or their neglect to give us
correct reports.
The Nugget has by its course made
some enemies, but never one intentionally.
Upon looking over our books, we find
that we have numbers of names of parties
interested in mines and properties in this
county which has been faithfully repre-
sented by the paper and for which the
owners owe much to the good we are
striving to do in the way of advertising
their properties, but who have neglected
to pay up even the small amonnt Of their
subscription. We hope, however, that
these will respond to our civil reminder
that paper cannot be run on commenda-
tions alone.

ATTEND PROGRAM TOMORROW


The program to be rendered at the
Lower Masonic hall, tomorrow, will be
the best that Silver City and vicinity have
ever witnessed. Miss S. Belle Chamber
lain, state superintendent of schools, has
assured our county school superintendent
that all who have been placed on the pro-
gram for the day will be present. Every
precaution has been taken to make this
event successful and it is earnestly. hoped
that as many of the residents of this com :
munity as can possibly be present, will
make it point to attend. The invitation
to this program is general and is the first
meeting of its kind ever held in the coun-
ty. The teachers here and other prolni-
nent residents, under the able guidance
OF Mrs. Jennie Farrer Avery, have been
extremely busy these last days decorating
the hall with the different kinds of work
from the schools of our county and one
would only have to see some of this work
to fully appreciate it. Remember that
the program will be rendered during the
day and in the evening all present will be
sociably entertained, the whole affair
winding up with banquet and ball.

tention to hold all the land which is ac
quired by the new company, although
it is possible that some small tracts may
be sold to members of the club for the
erection Of summer cottages on the lake
shore.
The company will operate boats upon
the lake, and in connection with the ho-
tel, tennis, golf and polo grounds will be
laid off, as it is the intention to make
Reelfoot Lake one of the noted resorts
of the South.
A number of capitalists from New
York have visited the property during
the past month, in company with Mr..
Wheeler and Mr.. Talbert, and all who
have done so have been impressed with
the possibilities of the lake as great re-
sort, even aside from its value as fish
and game preserve.
The gentlemen who have organized
the syndicate have also held conferences
with the residents of the section near the
lake and have received assurances that
there will never be a repetition of the
Nightrider troubles, which brought the
lake into prominence about two years
ago. Arrangements will be made with
all residents there, who claim any rights
of fishing, under leases or agreements
made with former owners, so that their
rights will be protected in every way and
their interests be given fair considera-
ton. Commercial Appeal.

Ohio Valley Exposition.

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 1.-THE South
is getting great deal Of the most valu-
able advertisement and its advantages
are being put before large numbers of
just the kind Of people it wishes to at
tract as settlers, through the magnificent
exhibit of The South and It's Re-
sources" which the railroads of the
South collected by joint action and are
displaying at the Ohio Valley Exposition
now in progress in this city.
This exhibit, said to be the most com
Iprehensive display of the agricultural,
mineral, and forest resources Of the
South ever gotten together, is seen here
at the best possible advantage. Theex-
position management gave it splendid
position and in arrangement and deco
ration it is most attractive. The exhibit
covers nearly 10000 square feet, giving
practically one foot for every mile Of
railroad in the South, the combined
mileage of the railroads joining in the
display being $4,000 miles. Every pro-
duct Of Southern farms, mines and for
ests is to be seen and the showing made
has been the occasion of the greatest
surprise to many visitors. This has
been especially true OF the display Of
corn and small grains, hundreds Of Wis
itors having for the first time learned
that the South is a great grain growing
section and that its lands can produce as
many bushels of corn, wheat, or oats
per acre as any land in the West.
The newspapers Of Cincinnati and sur
rounding cities have given great deal
OF space to the exhibit OF The South
and Its Resources" and this is one of
the first features sought by visitors on
entering the grounds. When it is con
sidered that the attendance is running
into the thousands every day, it is easily
seen how many people are being inter-
ested in the advantages Of the South In
