Mr. A. Koberle, of Oakland, Cal., is
in Silver looking over the mining situa
tion. He is very much impressed with
our beautiful climate, and as he is a
man who has visited nearly every part
of the globe, his judgement on such
matters is considered good authority.
County Commissioner Fred Brunzell
is slowly recovering from the effects of
the paralytic stroke he received about
the 10th of last month. He was affected
on the left side, but is uow able to have
some use of his limbs on that side.
Mrs. Brunzell was able to leave him for
the first time, on Wednesday morning,
when she left for a hurried trip to Mur
phy. Mr. Brunzell's many friends hope
to hear of his speedy recovery.
Chas. Forney,
Nampa, Idaho.
It is reported that Wm. Plughoff, of
the Ontario Argus, has sold his
paper plant and business, and bas re
tired from actire participation in the
struggles of this life, and intends to
lire a life of ease and luxury. A few
years ago, when we first knew "Plug,"
he was publishing a red hot democratic
paper in Vale, and was a thoroughly
dyed in the wool follower of Jefferson
and Jackson, but a turn of fortune's
wheel made him the owuer of a repub
lican paper, and so "Plug" has tried to
to appear to the world as a G. O. P.
booster and a disciple of Roosevelt.
The only reason we can think of that
caused "Plug" to quit the republican
newspaper business, is, that the imbib
ing of so much republican dope into
his system has given him the "Yaller
Janders" or perhaps his "liver is
touched." No, no, "Plug," you will
never make a good republican, although
yon were a good republican editor.
Our band is progressing nicely under
the leadership of J. E. Dickens. Sev
eral new instruments hare been secured.
The interest taken by the members in
dicates that Silver City will soon have
a b md second to none in the state. All
that is uecessary for a community to
enjoy the blessiugs of this life is to be
contented with the surroundings and
to make tire beet of the conditions as
fonnd. With our glorious mountain
climate and prosperous mines and
bright prospects for the futuie, even if
silver has gone down to 47% cents, we
will make the best of it aud laugh aud
grow fat, and let the other fellow do the
worrying. The next thing to start in
Silver is an Amateur Dramatic Club;
get up some good plays, by home talent,
and prepare to have a good time during
the winter. Get in and help stir up
something to entertain yourself and
friends, aud enjoy this short life while
you live, for when you die you will be a
long time dead.
"You have a model husband," said a
lady who was congratulating the bride.
The next day the bride bethought her
to look up the word "model" in the
dictionary, and this is what she found:

thing.—Ex
There are a good many "moiel" men

equal the Jew in the following article:
A gentleman went into the shop of a
Jewish clothing dealer and laid a five
dollar gold pieoe on the counter in pay
ment for what he wished to buy. In a
few moments the man returned and
saw the Jew's little boy in the act of
swallowing the money. The Jew de
manded another five dollars, which hie
customer declined to pay. The gentle
man finully said he would see the Jew
again, but still he thought he should
be allowed credit for the five dollars.
A week later he went into the shop
again. The Jew said : "I gave my boy
castor oil, I gave him pills, I gave him
everything I think of, an all I get vos
t'ree dollars an' eighty-five cents!"—

MINING
IN OWYHEE COUNTY
C. H. Dennison has returned to the
east in the interest of the Federal min
ing company. While absent on the
trip lie may cross the big pond and in
terview the English investors. We are
not informed as to the exact parties in
London whom he expects to interest
in the company's property, but think
he may interview both Edward and
Alexandria on the subject and succeed
in getting them interested in this flour
ishing camp. Mr. Waldron will depart
for the east to select the uecessary ma
chinery for the mine, about the middle
of the mouth. Mr. Cartwright, the
foreman of the company, is rapidly
pushing the tuunel into the mountain
with three shifts of good miners.
The Silver M. & M. Co. are having
trouble getting lumber to complete
their buildings, as the demand for
freight from Murphy to the mines ex
ceeds the capacity of the freighters, but
if this good weather holds a few days
longer, all will be supplied. The de
layed air com preesor for this company
came in a few days ago aud will be in
stalled as soon as possible.
The investor in mining property
should pay as much attention to the
management of the property as to any

shown in this camp where an Euglish
company sent one of their men over
here to manage a certain property, and
the first thing he had done was to level
a plot of grouud near their mill and fix
it up in good shape for a "tennis court."
It is needless to say that through his

who is thoroughly posted on the pecul

be made one of the best paying mining
properties in the state.
In every case where the management
was in the hands of practical mining
men and they were backed up by enough
capital to properly develop the property
it lias been a success. Therefore,
say to investors, look to the manage
