CASTLE CREEK

Two wagon-loads of ore have been re-
ceived this week from the Evans mine on
Castle Creek. The loads were brought
in by W. F. Cordell, Andy Evans and
John Baumgartner and have been placed
in the warehouse until a full carload is on
hand for shipment to Salt Lake. The ore
will be brought in as rapidly as possibly
this month, SO that the car may be ship
ped without unnecessary delay. 1t is re-
ported that an extremely rich vein has
been encountered in the lower tunnel,
where most Of the work has been done in
the last two months. -Mountainhome

THE SAME OLD STORY, ONLY
NOT SO BAD

The so-called power of the press"
was exemplifed by the action of the local
ball players in practicing Thursday night
and playing with DeLamar Friday after
noon. Last week the Nugget called the
nine to task for non-obseryance of regu-
lar training. The words OF this paper
were meekly received by the Miners, who
knew that they were justly scolded. They
Immediately cabled DeLamar and humbly
begged practice game. As it turned
out afterward, the game was practice
game for DeLamar, not for Silver.
The score was IL to u in favor of those
practiced upon or against those practiced
upon, just as one wishes to see it. Con-
cerning the details the players are reti-
cent, silent, mum. In hushed, though
triumphant accents, they murmur that
they were ahead once. Hardly can one
distinguish the words, II to l2, when one
of the players utters them.
The one Silver rooter didn't even yell.
Said rooter was disappointed at the show
ing, it is supposed. She said she was
afraid to shout with so many DeLamar-
ties present.
The schedule of the Mountain Valley
League lacks one game of completion so
far as Silver is concerned That is with
Jordan Valley. This aggregation is a
hard proposition, having already defeated
the boys here by the score of-oh, what
the use. to rub it in? Silver's only saliva
ton is scientific practice, and if she does
not practice consistently, Jordan Valley
tackled to their fagstaf-if they don't
spend it here.

OWYHEE CO.
no ONORED
Dew Dunnine Appointed by Gov.
wiley Delegate to Tax
Convention

In the appointment of Dow Dunning
by Governor Hawley, as special delegate
from Idaho to The Fifth International
Conference in State and Local Taxation,
to be held in Richmond, Virginia, Sep
tember 5-8, Owyhee county and the peo-
pie Of this county have been signally hon
ored.
Mr.. Dunning has been elected as Rep
resentative from this county for two
terms and has given entire satisfaction.
At the sessions of the legislature be has
shown that be is an able man, and one
who has opinions of his own and can
stand by them. Unfortunately, he has
been in the minority both terms.
He is progressive and introduced sew
eral bills tended to the Advancement OF the
peoples power Of seli-government. He
introduced direct primary bill and
bank guarantee bill. Both were defeated
by the majority party.
As an instance Of the respect in which
he was held, he was called upon by the
Senate during the last session Of the legis-
iature to address that body upon an inn
portant question. Rarely is member Of
the lower house thus honored.
Mr.. Dunning is one Of the best men in
the state for the position to which be was
appointed. He is a deep student Of tax
alton problems and is ali advocate Of the
measure known as the single-tax With
his deep knowledge Of the intricacies OF
the subject Of taxation, and his ability to
clearly and forcibly express himself, he
will reflect credit upon the state from
which he was sent.
The citizens of Owyhee county should
feel grateful that, by their clear insight
and discretion, they chose as their only
Representative man who should have
such an honor bestowed upon him.

SILVER CITY NJ. q Nj. co.

The lower cross-cut tunnel is being
driven into the hill as rapidly as it can be
done by the machine drills. This tunnel
is now in about six hundred feet and two
hundred feet more will cut the American
Eagle vein at depth Of about six hund-
red feet. -Four hundred feet beyond that
are the Crown Point and Lone Tree veins.
These will be cut at depth of six hund-
red feet. From the surface showings it is
evident that a great body of ore lies where
the cross cut will tap these veins.
Concerning a mine being newly devel-
oped there is little to be said except that
the work is progressing rapidly. In this
respect the Silver City is all right. The
work is progressing as rapidly as condi-
tions will permit.

BENEFIT DANCE
FOR CEMETERY
Cemetery Benefit Entertainment
and Dance Very
Successful

The Cemetery Benefit Entertainment
and Dance was held last night, to which
date it had been postponed. The atten-
dance was large and evidenced that the
people Of this town and surrounding
country were eager to be of assistance in
such good cause.
The program before the dance was very
entertaining and was well received. At
l0;3O, to the strains Of Ballots orchestra
the first waltz was danced. Sweeping
around the hall they danced, young and
old soothed by the slow, measured, ryth-
mic tread, the swish of skirts, the flash Of
color among the white dresses of the wo-
men and dark suits Of the men, and the
enchantment of the music.
The program, interesting and enter
timing, was as follows:

1t would have done Mormon Bishops
heart good to have seen one of our pop
ular citizens escort four partners to the
ball last night.
K. S. Halves, Jr., came in Monday
night from Boise. Dick left here about a
year ago, going to California and from
there to Boise. He has been working in
store there and is making very credit
able record. Why is it that, when one
asks people why Dick came over, they
wink and grin?

BIG STORE SOLD.

This week witnesses the consummation
of deal which has been under adyisement
for some time. By the terms of the
agreement the Bibbins- Myer Co., Ltd's.
stock is sold; G. M. Caldwell, a amerchant
of this place, is the purchaser. The two
stocks will be combined and placed in the
building now occupied by the selling com
pany.
The purchaser in this deal has been a
resident of this place for about eight years.
He started business here by first buying
a store that was having a hard struggle
for existance. By hard and consistent
labor and strict attention to business he
built up his stock and trade. His rise
has been marked with many changes of
location. He moved once, was burnt out
and moved into another building; from
there he moved into his present quarters,
and will soon move into the Big Store
building
e. j. Burrough and F. D. Hall, the
present, owners, are men who have worked
themselves up from the bottom. By
sticking to business through sunshine and
shadow they have attained to what they
are today. And tonight, when the store
closes for the last time under the old man
agement, there will be many who will re-
gret the passing Of Dad" and Frank.

Lunch was served in the banquet room
above, all evening. 1t consisted Of
sandwiches and coffee, and ice cream and
cake.
Everyone had good time. They were
quiet but enjoyed every minute they were
there. The music was especially good.
The dance was given in most wor-
thy cause. The cemetery fences are down
and in ruins. Cattle and horses roam
over the graves. Many of US have loyed
ones there and we are desirous of stop
ping such desecration. 1t is indeed diff
ficult to keep the fences up, as the deep
snow. drifting against them exerts a pres
sure unable to be resisted. However, il
they are put up solidly again they may
withstand the SHOWS Of several winters.
Miss Alice Connors and the young
ladies who assisted her are to be thanked
for their efforts in this act Of benevolence.
They labored long and hard to produce an
entertainment so interesting. The hall
was tastefully decorated, and added much
to the enjoyment Of those present. To
the ladies who so kindly donated the re-
freshments thanks are due, also.
The dawn OF a new day witnessed the
merry whirl Of the dancers and morning
came too soon. And when the endearing
strains Of Home, Sweet Home softly
died away, the pleasure Of the dancers
was increased by the realization that their
enjoyment had been for a good cause

MINING NOTES

When Governor Hawley appointed the
Idaho delegates to the American Mining
Congress to be held in Chicago the week
beginning September 25, he included in
the list two men well known in this
county. They are Frederick K. Irwin
and w. D. Evans.
Henry Stevens, accompanied by G. c.
Hedum, returned to his claims on Boul-
der creek. My. Stevens has been there
this summer, developing his property.
1t is understood that some of the claims
belonging to Hedum and Stevens are to
be further developed by outside interests.
If this report is true the Boulder may be
very lively by next spring.
A report comes in from the district
south of here, to the effect that rich
strike has recently been made on East
creek. The man, on whose ground the
strike was made, is John W. Shore He
has been working there for several years
and has cut the vein in the upper work
ing, the ore being fairly good. He then
began the lower cross-cut, the ore when
struck atgreater depth being much better.

URGES OVERTIME FERRY PAY
Dock Commissioner Points to Frequent
Emergency Conditions.

Dock Commissioner Tomkins has written
10 Thomas II. Cullen. chairman of the SEN
ate cities Committee, and 10 James
A. Foley, chairman of the Assembly
Cities Committees and also to the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment, urging
that provision be made to give overtime
pay in accordance with prevailing wages
to city employees who are compelled on
emergency TO work overtime. In his de-
partment. he said, such overtime work was
called for mainly in connection with the
ferries.
In operating plant like the municipal
ferries" he said. unexpected breakdowns
after the regular working hours constantly
occur. In my judgment such breakdowns,
unless Immediately repaired. constitute a
menace both TO the property Of the city
and also indirectly can be considered 10
constitute a menace 70 those who rely upon
the maintenance Of the schedules in connec-
ton with their business.
The present labor law requires that
there shall be 10 overtime except in case
of danger 10 life or property. There are
many who maintain that danger to life
and property under this law means only
such extreme cases as fire or collision 10
adhere strictly TO this Interpretation I'm this

Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements II is
essential not only that there be al all
times sufficient cable facilities. under
one control, but that they should be
operated INTERCHANGEABLE with each
other and in close physical connee-
ton with land lines as one system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
TO provide against the very frequent
cable interruptions.
Neither the Western Union nor any
one of the companies Of the Western
Union group has, independently OF the
others, facilities enough 10 handle
the business which a, times any one
company might be called upon TO take
care Of because OF some particular
rush Of business, or because OF som.
cable interruption. Nor could any one
company furnish all the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service. al
though the combined facilities OF
these companies are ample Il they
could be used supplementary TO each
other and INTERCHANGEABLE.
AS il is, each company operates 4"
own cables through separate and dis
tinet Offices and under separate and
distinct management. All Interchange
of business is by actual transfer OF IN.
business from one company TO the
other. with the consequent delay and
interruption OF a service in which
seconds are valuable.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1911-09-15
Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union. tine Angola
lean and the Direct U. S. companies
will bring the eigh; cables OF the three
companies under one operating con-
troll. The consequent increase in
effectiveness and economy will place
the Western Union in a position to
offer certain advantages in cable
service not now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open to enable
the Western Union TO make such i'm
provemenis and introduce such new
services as it proposes 10 do, would
be to lay new cables. This would
seem to be the height of folly.
Duplication of the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at a cost OF
many millions. when there are more
than ample facilities for all business,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdcned
business and would probably postpone
the reduction Of rates or introduction
Of new services
