LOCAL HEWS
OF THE WEEK
Peter Steele returned Saturday from a
visit to Boise.
Joseph Babington was up from Bey
nolds on business this week.
Ernest Willenegger, of Cow creek, was
< in town this week buying assaying sup
plies.
John Shea and wife of Trout creek,
returned home last week after a short vis
it here.
Frank Scott and wife were in Silver
, _ _ 1
City this week. They returned to Reyn
., „ ., !
olds Friday.
Miss Louise Hicks, who has been in
Boise for some time, returned to Silver
the first of the week. -
Tuesday the population of Silver,
was increased when a girl was born to
Mr. and Mrs. Thilo Nette.
Business in Silver is certainly flourish
ing. This week C. M. Caldwell bought a
huge safe of Mrs. J. M. Brunzell.
C. M. Hays went out to Boise Wednes
day morning. It is reported that he is go
ing to help McCleod straighten out the
legislature.
This week a Salvation Army man, J.
H. Lemon, came over from Boise. He |
was soliciting contributions with which
to carry on the goo<î work of the order.
Those who say that Fritz Schleifer
"cuts no ice," are badly mistaken. He
has a large force of men at work this
week cutting and storing the ice from his
pond above town.
Those who say that A. A. Getchell
never won a bet in his life are mistaken.
The fact has leaked out that two years
ago he bet a boy ten cents worth of candy
concerning some postal matter—and won
the bet.
The Nugget is late in publication this
week, owing to a slight difference we had
with the press, or rather, the press had
with us. Everything is now ship-shape,
however, and we'll be sure to not let it
happen again.
This morning Kenneth McLoed left for
Boise. His purpose in going, he said,
was to straighten out the Senate and
House. We understand that he is going
to have Senator Harris introduce a bill
requiring hotels to furnish night-caps—
both kinds—to those who wish them.
Joe Venable, the old stand-by waiter
of the Idaho hotel, returned Thursday
night, to take up his old position there.
Joe's friends are all glad to see him back
at his old job again, for he is an efficient,
accomodating, and courteous waiter, and
the diner need have no doubt but that he
will be well served.
Mrs. J. M. Brunzell, Jr., formerly of
this place, but now a resident of Oregon,
is here these days on a short visit, the
guest of Mrs. Henry Rood and Mrs. A.
A. Getchell. The old timers are glad to

,
see Mrs. Brunzell back again, if only for
,
a short visit. She will return to Boise,
and from there to Oregon, in a few days.
J. M. Morgan and daughter came in
Tuesday evening from Boise, where the
former has been for the past two weeks.
They left Wednesday morning for Flint,
where Mr. Morgan will work in the Iva
Grace property, recently taken over by an
English syndicate. Miss Morgan has
been in Boise since early last fall. Word
was received by Mr. Morgan that the
new 1 louse at the mine had been com
pleted and was ready for occupancy.
Jordan Valley Incorporates
At last Jordan Valley has been admit
ted to "cityzenship." The next thing will
be to elect a mayor and aldermen, form
ulate a charter, pave the streets, and lay
cement sidewalks.
Jordan Valley is the center of a large
surrounding territory. Sheep and cattle
men make that their base of supplies.
The population at present is not large,
but it will increase,
Below is the account of the incorpora
tion, taken from the Ontario Optimist:
At the meeting of the connty court
wee ^ town of Jordan Valley was
permission to incorporate, and
the boundaries for the corporation were
æt by the court on Saturda y morning,

DeL&.m&.r Singers Come Vp
Wednesday evening the Carol Singers
came up from De Lamar, and entertained
a large and appreciative audience at the
Idaho hotel. The singers were in the
parlor, but for all that, their rich voices
were heard throughout the entire build
ing. After a bit the doors between the
parlor and the office were opened, and
the voices of the visitors, in song and
laughter came to those listening.
There were about seventeen
voices in
all—four women and thirteen men ; and
when they sang, their voices all ming
ling harmoniously in the chorus, there
was a sweet, plaintive melody to it that
caused one to wish them to sing continu
ously.
Though the visit was a surprise, a good
audience gathered to hear them sing, for
it certainly was a treat. And all who
heard thorn hope they will come again.
We take this means of telling the pub
lic that Geo. R. Sweeney, of DeLamar,
has the best tailor-made ready-to-wear
clothing that can be had and at prices
that are so low that it will astonish you.
Better go and see him.
Geo. R. Sweeney has just received and
now has on display a full and complete
line of samples of the latest fall and win
ter clothing. Go and see him for a good
tailor-made ready-to-wear suit.
The Nugget shop, being well equipped
with a good line of display type of differ
ent kinds, is now more capable than
to take care of your job work.

MEDICAL INSPEC
TION FOR SCHOOLS
I
Recom
Inspection
mended For Silver
City Schools
The old adage, "An ounce of preven
tion is worth a pound of cure,"
had a more fitting application than that
afforded by the introduction of medical
inspection of school children. Every
one will agree that the care of the health
is one of the most important duties of
mortal beings. Many a person has been
doomed to life-long suffering and disap
pointment because of some inattention
to a growing physical defect, which only
a little care might have checked.
The importance of looking after the
health of sheep is so urgent that inspect
ors for these dumb creatures are provid
ed by law ; yet no public money has been
appropriated in this state, so'far as
know, for the inspection of human be
ings, except in cases of actual disorder.
In some of the city schools the medi
cal inspector is considered as essential
as the janitor teacher himself. It is be
ing more and more urgently felt. that
the systematic attention to the physical
part of one's being is as legitimate a
part of the work of the public schools
the training of the mind. Often children
seem to be dull when in fact their
ent dullness is due to defective vision,
hearing, or some other abnormal condi
tion. Dr. Gulick, President of the School
Hygienic Association of New York, has
estimated that two decayed teeth in the
mouth of a child may retard him six
months in his studies. Decay of teeth
has been found to be a germ dis
ease and one medical authority of New
York states that it should receive the
same attention from boards of health
scarlet fever, diphtheria, and tubercu
losis. New York inspectors report that
ninety per cent of the children need a
dentist. Dental decay not only inter
feres with mastication and digestion of
food and leads to ill-nourishment, but
produces in the mouth a condition favor
able to tiie growth of other disease germs,
such as those of diptheria and scarlet
fever.
While there is no appropriation of
money for any of the schools of Idaho
for medical inspection some of the schools
of the state have made a start in the
matter by enlisting the co-operation of
the local physicians. In Idaho Falls, for
example, the local physicians have
erously donated their services to this
cause and the school authorities are high
ly pleased with the results of their assist
ance.
Dr. Schuyler and Dr. Heer have
pressed their commendation of medical
inspection for schools and have gener
erously offered their services to the Silver
City school in this modern school
ment. There will be no fee attached to
to this examination and while it can not
be made compulsory, yet it is to be hoped
that all parents will be so thoroughly
convinced of its value and importance
that they will give it their hearty
tion and support.

Commissioners Adjourned
The County Commissioners adjourned
Wednesday, after a busy session. The
new commissioner is onto the ropes now
and the work will run smoothly during
the rest of the term.
This office is no
easy one to fill. Cases come up where
the members must decide concerning the
claims of two persons or faetiones. Which
ever way they decide.
At the beginning of the last term a dif
ficult matter came before them in the form
of the organization district. There was
much opposition to the proposed organ
zation. The commissioners were all new,
which made the matter doubly hard.
They decided in favor of the proposed
district. Enemies were made, but for all
that, the personnel of the Board was not
changed a great deal.
Fortunately no difficult matters came
up at the last meeting,Jand only the rou
tine had to be gone through.

I have just received my new spring
samples from New York.

MINING MATTERS
AT SILYER CITY
Ore Very Rich and
More Miners Put
to Work
Work at the Banner goes on steadily.
A number of men are at work stoping
out ore. About fifteen sacks are ex
tracted daily. The ore is very rich, run
ning way up into the thousands of dol
lars per ton. A force of men is also busy
developing the vein further.
As soon as the snow ieave3 in the spring
the mill will be started crushing the
taken out during the winter.
Mr. Steele in a recent interview in
Boise, was very optimistic about the fu
ture of this mine.
ore
The force at the Silver City has been
increased, two shifts now being at work.
A powder house has been built, and as
soon as sufficient water can be procured
machine drills will be put in. This will
be about the first of February.
It is expected that the first vein will be
encountered in abouta month. This is
not the richest nor the largest, but it
shows up well on top, and no doubt the
values will increase with depth.
Money seems to be freer now than for
some time past, and it is more than likely
that enough will be got to push the devel
opment work through to a finish. J. F.
Cook is at present in Iowa, selling stock,
and it is reported that he is having good
success.
The goods manufactured by the Silver
City Cigar Mfg. Co., are all Union Made
and guaranteed. Dealers who handle
theirgoods always have satisfied customer.
