THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 30. 1909
The eyes of the mining world
are looking eagerly tonfard Owy
hee county for investments in
producing properties.
A man with a piece of sage
brush land and a good water
right in Owyhee county can justly
exclaim, "1 am monarch of all,
and hard times and panics can
not reach me now."
A good investment,?; and one
that will pan and pay 'from the
grass roots down, is to subscribe
for an extra #opy or two of the
Nugget and send it to some
friend or friends in the east.
Irrigation in Owyhee county'
means plenty of red apples for
everybody and an abundance of
other fruits, berrier and all kinds
of choice vegetable products,
with a good market for a great
deal of the same right at home.
Don Carlos Boyd, associate
editor of the Nugget, will leave
shortly on an extended business
trip to Oreano and Bruneau in
the interests of this paper.
Boyd will write up the irrigation
and other interests of that pro
lific section, and will make it a
point to meet and get acquainted
with the people residing in that
part of Owyhee county.
Mr.
The mineral resources of Owy
hee county are attracting con
siderable attention
among min
ing men on the outside and some
heavy investments are likely to
( ecur in the not distant future.
This means that the old
camp
of Silver stands in a fair way to
take on new life and energy, and
once again take its place among
the heaviest and foremost gold
and silver producing camps in
the West.
President Taft is certainly tak
ing advantage of and enjoying
experiences as they come while
he is the guest of the West. Re
cently at Butte, Montana, at
tired in an old linen duster, an
old black sloucn hat and swing
ing an electric lantern at hisside,
the president was locked in an
iron cage and dropped 1200 feet
through midnight blackness into
the depths of the famous old
Leonard copper mine, and saw
the miners at work with a giant
drill in a vein of high grade ore.
When he ascended he said
thusiastically, "I would
have missed it for the world."
en
not
Silver City business men are
truly enterprising and - progres
sive, not only in spirit but in ac
tion, and when it comes to any
thing looking to the advance
ment of the best interests of the
town and community they never
stand back and wait for the
other fellow to start the ball
rolling. An instance at hand is
in our enlargement of the size of
the Nugget. Before we had is
sued the paper in its larger form
many came to us and promised
increased advertising patronage,
realizing that a good, live paper
is not only the life, but the best j
advertising medium of its re
sources aiul business opportuni
ties any community can have.

The Owyhee Nugget $2 a year.
A prospect, be it ever so rich
on the surface, is often a difficult
and unsatisfactory thing to j
market. The public have no
confidence in it and would pre
fer to buy some old and depleted
mine -with a record. This is
hardly fair to the prospect,
which often may develop into a
rich mine, seeing that all rich
mines were once prospects. The
prospector should develop his
prospect to depth of at least 100
feet or more, and so partially
prove the vein, and inspire con
fidence and have something le
gitimate to offer. Prospectors,
on the other hand, as a rule,
prefer to just open a number of
prospects by 10-foot holes
rather than develop any one of
them. They are sometimes
afraid to go to any depth lest
the ore may give out, or not
show as well as on the surface.
A promoter comes along, gath
ers together these undeveloped
prosDects into a group, gets up
a company, capitalizes them far
beyond their prospective value
and begins to dig along crosscut
tunnel 1,000 feet below them
and to erect a mill without any
ore on the dump. He, too, hes
itates to go down to any depth
on his veins for the same reason
as the prospector, lest they
should play out or prove not so
good as that displayed in his
prospectus, consequently the
public buys a "pig in a poke,"
without knowing or without any
positive or satisfactor 3 T asurance
of what they have got, it being
only a prospect, not a blocked
out mine or a mine at all, as
they supposed.—Mining Science.
The owyhee Nugget this week
greets its many readers in an en
larged form, •which in future will
allow us to devote more space
to the mining, stockraising and
agricultural pursuits of Owyhee
county, and to better chronicle
the local happenings of Silver
City and other localities. Along
local lines we invite correspond
ence, and would greatly appre
ciate a good correspondent in
every precinct in the county.
Send us the locals. It will not
only interest you to see them in
print, but it will also interest and
please your neighbors, and will
aid us in making of the Nugget
one of the newsiest and best lit
tle papers published in Idaho.
Remember, the subscription price
is only $2 a year now.
The rich irrigated sections of
Owyhee county are fast being
developed' and the arid lands
brought into a high state of cul
tivation. The Oreano and Bru
neau localities offer rare induce
ments to the capitalist seeking
remunerative investment in
lands, and to the-homeseeker
seeking the opportunity for
building a home in a land where
he is assured of abundant crops
yearly, good educational facili
ties and the comforts and social
surroundings that make the
home life a blessing and the
abode of true happiness.
Secretary Wilson, of the de
partment of agriculture, is well
pleased with the success of dry
farming in the west, and believes
that this particular method of
cultivating crops is destined to
meet with much greater success
in the future than it has hereto
fore. On the Secretary's recent
trip of inspection of the system
in Wyoming and Idaho, he stated
that as the method of dry farm
* n & becomes better understood,
fU| d as suitable crops are intro
duced into this country, better
results are bound to foliow

The people of Jordan Valley
