IN OWYHEE COUNTY
W. H. Waldron, of Boise, arrived in
Silver the first part of the week and made
the first payment on the Stuten and On
tario property, to Sullivan and Matheson,
the former owners. The company Mr.
Waldron represents will at once put
force of 15 or 20 men. This property is
located on Florida Mountain, near the
Black Jack mine and has excellent
on a
pros
pects. This will add another good mine
to our district, as the company expects
to push the development work with much
vigor.
This is the same company that are
preparing to run a big crosscut tunnel on
War Eagle Mountain, thereby developing
numerous rich properties at a good depth.
The Weston property, Village Black
smith, Ruth, Owyhee and many other
mines on the west side of this mountain
can economically be worked through this
tunnel.
The present plàn is to extend this tun
nel as far as the Poorman property. The
company can be congratulated upon
having secured a proposition that has
such excellent prospects. Over $40,000,
000 have been taken out of the top work
ings of these mines and untold millions
are yet to be extracted. Values increase
with depth, as is shown by the Potosi,
Village Blacksmith and other properties
now being developed.

Donald McDonald, of Salt Lake City,
president of the Rich Gulch Mining Com
pany, and O. W. Chamberlin, of Good

been visiting the property, where a
directors meeting was held. Mr. Stevens
informs us that their road to the mine
has been completed and supplies are ar

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
On last Saturday the delegates from
the various precincts in Owyhee County,
assembled in convention at Silver City
and nominated a County ticket. As
there was very little opposition the
suit will give general satisfaction to the
voters of the county. The ticket is pub
lished in full on the second pages of this
paper. The candidates are all capable
and influential citizens. Much might
be said of their personal qualifications
and excellent choice the convention made
for State Senator and Representative,
both well known throught the county.
The Convention took a firm stand for
re
reform measures and the repeal of the
"Herd District" law, showing clearly
that the democratic party of Owyhee,
County is ever ready to advocate the en
actment of laws for the benefit of onr
citizens. The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted :
To the Chairman and Delegates of the
Democratic County Nominating Conven
tion:
Gentlemen :—
We, your committee on resolutions, bei?
leave to report as follows :
We, the representatives of the Dem
ocratic party of Owyhee County, Idaho,
hereby reaffirm our allegiance to the
principles of Democracy as expounded by
Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and
William J. Bryan, and hereby pledge
our support to the ticket that shall be
decided to lx; the regular Democratic
ticket of this state.
We enthusiastically endorse the candi
dacy of William J. Bryan and John W.
Kern for President and Vice President of
the United States, respectively, and point
with pride to the past records of our
national candidates, and the many re
forms first advocated by William J.
Bryan twelve years ago, and which the
majority of the citizens of the United
States, realizing that the country's wel
fare demanded that these reforms be en
acted into law, has forced the Republican
party to purloin many of the reform
measures first advocated by our Presiden
tial candidate, and we charge the Repub
lican party with advocating these reforms
only as a means to deceive the voters of
the nation, while not accomplishing or
intending to accomplish any permanent
reform.
We have practically been in control of
the county government during the past
ten years, during which jjme our tax
levy has been reduced from $3.50 to$2.05 ;
a warrant indebtedness of $88,000 wiped
out, and our bonded debt reduced from
$61,000 to $48,800, and we hereby pledge
our candidates, if successful at the polls,
to an equally wise and economical ad
ministration of county affairs.
We specifically pledge our legislative can
didates to vote for a direct primary law,
as demanded by the people of the entire
state, and as evidence of the necessity for
such a law, we point to the action of the
recent Republican State Convention, at
Boise, whereby the choice of the voters
of said party for the Congressional nomi
notion was defeated through the violation
of instructions placed upon the delegates
to said convention, as engineered by a
political combination.
The financial panic of the past year
has proven that the depositor who may
deposit his funds in bank, has no assur
ance for the safety thereof, and as mun
icipal, county and state, as well as the
National government, require security
for the safety of public funds, and be
lieving that each and every depositor is
entitled to equal protection, we pledge
our legislative candidates to work and
vote for a State hanking law similar to
the bank guaranty law at present in effect
in the State of Oklahoma.
We are heartily in favor of good roads,
and in order to secure the test roads pos
sible, recommend that the Road Laws be
so amended as to place the supervision
thereof, and the power of laying out new
roads in the various counties, directly in
the hands of the Board of County Com
misioners thereof.
We declare ourselves to be in favor of
the provisions of the law relating to the
acquistion of water rights ip so far as the
same relate to persons or corporations
appropriating the public waters of the
State for the purpose of sale, but believe
that the luw seould be so modified as to
permit of the farmer, stockraiser, miner
or prospector acquiring title to water
right without the unnecessary expense
and delay occasioned by a compliance
with said law as it now exists.
Believing that our state is not thickly
enough settled, to make the creation of
herd districts either reasonable or just,
we pledge our legislative candidates to
work for the repeal of an act providing
for the creation of herd districts, as pass
ed at the Ninth Session of the State Leg
islature.
We recommend to the next State Legis
lature the enactment of a law making it
unlawful for any person, excepting public
officials, to carry .flourish or exhibit any
deadly weapon wilhin the limits of any
city, town or village of Idaho.
Respectfully Submitted,
J. E. Masters,
Otto Peterson,
L. C. Eisenhart,
Committee.
