SCHOOL ELECTION
SATURDAY THIS WEEK |
Saturday, the 15th day of April, is the
time set by law for the election of
new
trustees to fill the vacancies caused by
expired terms. The office of school trus
tee is not usually sought for owing to the
difficulty of pleasing everyone, and when
a man is found who is willing to face the
disagreeable features of the position and
who is capable of perfortning the duties
of the office, the people should give him j
their grateful support.
Dr. Schuyler, whose term as trustee of
District No. 1., Silver City, expires, is
willing' to be announced as candidate for

The Doctor has, during the
past year, proved himself to be

the affairs of the district.

the welfare of the school, his fairness and
justice to everybody, make him a most
desirable member of the school board.
MISTAKEN IDENTITY
On the arrival of the De Lamar stage
Tuesday morning, a pretty good joke a
(one too good to keep) was sprung when
our highly esteemed and respected county
commissioner, Mr. Rube Gifford, stepped
out on the veranda of our popular hostel
ry, The Idaho, and vie wed the incoming
vehicle with that interest that is known
only to devoted husband and a loving
father. It seems that two or three fatniliies
were simultaneously moving away from
DeLamar campand had all their children

BLIZZARD VICTIM
VNDERGOES OPERATION
On Tuesday one of the most successful
surgical operations ever performed on a
in the history of this camp was the
expert work done by Doctors F. A. Pet
tenger of Boise, one of the eminent and
noted surgeons of the West, and W. H.
Schuyler of Silver City, w T hen they were
compelled to remove a portion of the
right foot and four toes of the left of Hen
ry Stevens, who has been a sufferer for
many weeks. It will be remembered that
Mr. Stevens was severely frozen several
weeks ago, and Dr. Pettenger compli
mented Dr. Schuyler very highly for the
manner in which he has handled the
patient, stating, it is said, that it
wonder that Mr. Stevens had not suffered
a greater loss.

Idaho in the Front Ranks For a
Bannner Year of Justly Due
Prosperty
Judging from the news columns of the
Idahö papers, the coming year will be the
most active in the history of the develop
ment of the state. There is not a publi
cation that comes to our table that does
not contain mention of some new enter
prise or industry for the locality in which
the paper is published,
shown is in every line of human effort.
There are great irrigation schemes for
the reclamation of thousands of acres of
And the activity
sage brush lands; large saw mill plants
are being established in the timber sec
tions; magnificent orchards are being
planted; the mining industry is growing
and expanding, with the assurance that
the development of coal mining upon
an
extensive scale in Southern Idaho is only
a matter of a year or two, as new discov
eries make certain the presence of coal in
commercial bodies;
extensive railroad
building is planned for the immediate
future. And every locality is bidding for
factories and industries suitable to the
upbuilding and advancement of each par
ticular section.
With the growth and development of
the various resources of the state, Idaho
becones more and more independent of
imported capital and her citizens are
more able to carry forward the work of
upbuilding, and every successful enter
prise established and prosperous adds
materially to the coming of the day of
absolute financial independence,
why should not Idaho be independent
and carry on her own work of develop
ment from within? Why should not
state possessing within her own borders
untold wealth in mineral, timber, water
power, agricultural and stockraising
sources be independent of the panics and
money scarcity that afflicts the older and
more settled centers of population? It is
only a question of time.
But upon the other hand, the fact that

I ENTERPRISING MAN
BECOMES STOCKRAISER
! It may a startling surprise to our
; readers to learn that our popular citizen
a am1 most accomodating host of the Idaho
hotel has launched out in the stock
rais
ing business. Nevertheless it is the truth,
for last week, on learning that Jordan
Valley parties had some "blooded'' swine
for sale, Mr. O. D. Brumbaugh immedia
tely took steps and availed himself of a
pair of that most valued property. When
the team that arrived with the shoats
reached town, Dave was too busy to give
them attention, so just ordered that they
be unloaded in a box stall that he had
proided for them. The command was
obeyed and the former owner of the swine
collected his money and hied himself
back to the haunts of his duplicity. In
due time Dave went down to see his
highly praised and "blooded" stock.
But, Io, and behold, what did he find?
Two of the most pigeon-toed, funnel
snouted, cock-eyed, lop-eared, greasy
necked, razor-backed, long, lean, lanky,
and long-tailed beasts that has ever been
seen west of the Ozarks. On exhibition
in the rear of the hotel. Admission to
adults only, two-bits.

BANNER MINE
PROGRESSING
Greevt Wealth Which Will Make
the Owyhee Mining District
Foremost in Idaho
The Banner Mine is coming to the
front as fast as conditions will permit.
The mill is ready in every detail, except
fuel and supplies, which cannot as yet
be shipped in on account of road
ditions, to turn out as much or more
bullion per ton than any mine that has
ever been discovered in the Owyhee
district. There is now two hundred
tons of ore ready for the mill and more
being added every day as the property
is being developed as fast as possible.
Assays are running as high as $10.000.00
and over and the management is very
anxious to get the mill into operation.
As a matter of fact the Banner Company
does not care whether they get news
paper notoriety or not as they have no
stock for Bale.
It is almost a foregone conclusion that
Silver City will enjoy more prosperity
and better times generally this
than she has for many years. New
business enterprises springing up in
the camp and other indications seem to
con
summer
warrant the fact that this will be one
of the busiest mining camps in Idaho.
What a kind fellow the weather
man is
especially to the denizens of the bills
Within the past week we have been favor»
ed with sunshine, rain, hail, enow, sleet
and wind. Thanks.
We take this means of telling the pu b
lic that Geo. R. Sweeney, of DeLamar,
has the test 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.
The Nugget shop, being well equipped
with a good line of display type of differ
ent kinds, is now more capable than ever
to take care of your jobwork.
