Everybody here now are predicting for
the company a successful outcome. The
men at work in the upper workings have
encountered some surprisingly rich ore,
which the Nugget expert declares is bet

other workings, assays Of which has been
made show it to run away up, and every
body here feel highly elated about this
rich strike. This rich strike was made

An HOnOred and Beloved PiO-
neer Answers the Call of Death.

Peter Connors, an old time resident of
this county, well and favorably known
by great majority of our citizens, who
who had been confined part of the time
to his room at the Idaho Hotel for the
past six months with lagrippe and by III
ness incident to old age, asked his son on
Sunday morning last, September 4th,

An Owyhee County Irrigation
Project Completed.
The Murphy Land and Irrigation
Company.

Mr.. Frank Mcmahon, water master for
the Murphy Land and Irrigation com
pany, was in town this week and while
here made pleasant call at the Nugget
Office, and informed us that the company
which he is working for now have as
complete water system for irrigation
purposes as there is to be found anywhere.
Although quite near our home, and to be
seen from War Eagle mountain, the work
done by the above named company has
been going on so quietly and with so
little expenditure of hot air that the peo-
pie living in this vicinity have but little
conception of what has been done to re-
claim and make fruitful an area of the
Snake river plain lying Immediately be-
tween the mountain and the river and be-
tween Murphy and Sinker creek.
There are on these plains about ten
or twelve thousand acres of as fine land
as there are to be found in the state which
have only been awaiting the magic tonch
OF moisture to transform them into the
most fruitful of fields, orchards, gardens
and pleasant homes These lands all
slope northward toward the river bluffs,
with advantages Of sunshine and protec-
ton from frost and hot southern winds.
As for the water to supply them, the
first move made was to purchase the
Bews ranch, on sinker creek, as a reser-
voir site, where a dam 100 feet high has
been built to hold back the water of the
creek, to be led onto. the lands by canal
already constructed. This canal leads
down the left or west side of the narrow
creek valley, meandering across. aroyas
and around bluffs, above the valley
ranches, until it reaches the higher plains
several miles further north toward the
river. It is eight feet wide on the bot
tom, and has sufficient capacity to water
a very large area
When one considers that the several
branches of Sinker creek drain all the
waters from the north and east sides of
quite long range of mountains, where
banks of snow pile up during
the winter, and all Of the drainage comes
together in torrents, continuing many
months, and would fill not alone one but
several immense reservoirs, he must con
clude that it is ample to supply many
thousands of acre feet OF water In fact,
all this land between the mountains and
the river has been supplied with water,
and stretch of country, which was
useless waste, can now be and is being
into fertile fields and fruitful
orchards, and the Murphy Land and Irri-
cation company may yet feel that it has
built an empire Of prosperous homes.

his eyes, "And the gates of death were
opened unto him, and he died the death
Of the righteous"
The deceased came from Ireland to the
United States in June 1915, locating in
the State of Vermont. He was married
on the 10th day of April, ls49, at the
city of New Orleans, which place he left
and arrived in California in September,
1852, where he remained until July, 1866,
about three years after the placer and
gold and silver quartz veins in and near
Silver City were discovered, he came to
Silver City, but in the following year he
went from Silver City to Virginia City,
Nevada, and returned to Silver City again
in 1868, where he has resided part Of the
time since. Prior to 1875 he followed
mining and milling, but desiring change
of occupation, he established a dairy at
South Mountain, which business he fol-
lowed until the mines were shut down in
that camp. His wife died February LIST,
1880, and this most estimable woman was
inferred at the Wagontown cemetery.
In 1882 he located ranch on Trout
Creek, this county, where he resided up
to 1897, when his daughters being mar
ried, he came to Silver City and made his
home with his son, John G. Connors, un-
til the period of his death.
The deceased was man honored and
loved by all who knew him, by reason of
being law abiding man and a good citi-
zen, and as being man of decision Of
character He was honest, truthful, and
industrious, and did not permit himself
to owe any man. He was so faithful to
any duty imposed upon him, thatemploy-
ment was always open to him at the
highest price. He was fearless in all
things, and always hopeful, never given
to despair when the clouds of trouble
came. He was a devout Catholic. and
always had faith in the future. He did
not fear death, but in his older age rather
courted it. He said to the writer one
day about year ago, ''that the Lord had
been good to him, and had allowed him
to live beyond the allotted age of man,
and that he was only waiting to be called
and taken and laid to rest in the Wagon
town cemetery where his wife and son,
Daniel, were buried"
On last Tuesday the funeral services
were held at the Catholic church, this
place, Father Ries, of Nampa, officiating.
After the services at the church, the re-
mains were followed by large number
OF the citizens of Silver City, to the grave
in the Catholic cemetery at Wagontown,
where it was laid beside that of the wife
he SO dearly loved. He leaves TO mourn
his death, a son, Mr.. John @. Connors,
of Silver City, three daughters, Mrs. Tim
othy Shea and Mrs. AL Shea, of Santa
Rosa, California, and Mrs. John Brown,
of Portland, Oregon. The sympathy of
the entire community goes out to them in
this their honr of sorrow. Peter Connors
has passed away We will know him
henceforth from memory only, Let the
shaft erected to his memory be engraved
with the following words:

needed, law officers Of the government
render opinions verbally, or in the rough,

them to appear in published form, and In
no instance IS Il ever suggested that such
documents should bear any date other

mistake in connection with the Lawler

President, as soon as il became obvious
that Brandeis was seeking TO secure them
