TWENTY -FIRST YEAR.
WEISER. IDAHO. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 27, 1902.
THUNDER MOUNTAIN PEOPLE LOUDLY
DENOUNCE SERVICE OVER
BOISE BOULEVARD.
The Signal wept and pleaded with
tin United States postal department
use wisdom in establisihng a mail
route into Thunder Mt. and give the
people one that would be of some
utility after it was established. We
recounted the fact ibat there was al
to
ready established a servicable route
to Warren and that a short exten
sion from there at a cost of probably
$3000 a year would give the best
possibly service under present condi
tions.
But, no—a new route, twice
long, must be established over the
Boise Boulevard at $8000 a year to
satisfy political prayers regardless
as
of tbe needs of the country. The
result is just as foretold by this
and the people of Thunder
paper
Mt. are practically deprived of any
except what they get by
wsrvice
private carrier over the route from
Warren.
The Bear Valley route has long
been practically closed—no travel is
going that way and intermittently a
little mail has been taken through on
snow ghoes, but how long it will con
tinue is problematical.
One of the Signal's Roosevelt
subscribers has sent us money with
instructions to send his papers by
registered mail, as otherwise he can
not get them over the boulevard

Meadows, Dec. 24.
Durine the past few days it has seemed
that Meadows and vicinity was doomed
to meet fate by the fire fiend, On Mon
day of last week the residence on the
Bob Cochran ranch with nearly all its
contents was destroyed, and on Friday
evening last the Wagy sawmill three miles
northeast of towu was almost totally
destroyed. The building was entirely
oonsumed but a large portion of the mach
inery aDd tools were saved or slightly
damaged. How the fire orginated is only
a matter of conjecture as there had been
no tfire in the furnace for a few days
prior to the fire. The loss will fail quite
heavily on Mr. Wagy. No Insurance.
Saturday morning the residence of
Jake Wallace near town oaught fire in
the roof from the stove pipe and a large
portion of the roof was burned. Bat for
the timely discovery and assistance the
entire structure would have been doomed,
Monday afternoon the general mere
handise store of Keizur & Mitchell had a
narrow escape from total destruction,
The stovepipe had worked loose from the
saddle where it passes through the roof.
It was not noticed for some little time,
but when discovered the flames had
eaten a large place through the roof and
the interior of the roof was ablaze almost
from one end of the building to the other,
Fortunately the flames were soon squelch
ed after a lively battle. The loss will
probably not exceed $30. Had the fire
gotten beyond beyond oontrol in all pro
b&bility the entire blook would have
been destroyed.
Miss Mabel Briscoe, who has been at
tending 8t Margaret's at Boise, came
home Saturday evening to spend the
holidays with her mother.
Bob Cochran, who has been very weak
for some time past from lungs and other
troubles, was started last Thursday with

James Jewell on the 10th of De
cember registered at Roosevelt a let
ter address to Weiser. Mr. Jewell
arrived in Weiser over the Warren
route on Christmas day, but nothing
has been heard of the letter which
started out via Boise.
Sam Wilson, who is just out from
Roosevelt states that complaints are
loud and long and that mail is a
month old when it gets in, unless it
goes via Warren. To show -that
good service could be had via War
ren, he states that he left Profile
creek at 8 o'clock Friday morning,
snow shoed 10 miles and walked the
rest of the way to War. en which he
reached at suppertime. Left 'War
ren in the morning and walked to
Resort in 3£ hours; left Resort fol
lowing morning and walked to Big
Payette lake in hours; left Lake
next morning and walked to Mead
ows in 2-J- hours; left Meadows at
8 in the morning and reached
Weiser at 5 in the evening, actual
traveling time between Weiser and
Profile creek, 175 miles, 34£ hours.
Profile is in the heart of the Thun
der Mt. country, and this record
shows that it would be easy to supply
mail service from Warren.

AN OLD EVIL
TO BE REMEDIED.
At Last the City Will Estab
lish Grades.
The city council, at its meeting
last Monday night passed ordinance
No. 71, prohibiting minors from
climbing on moving trains.
It appears the city has not es
tablished proper grades during all
thiB time it has been pretending to
do proper work on the streets, inas
much as Ordinance No. 70, to "es
tablish a grade upon aud to provide
a uniform grade and system on the
several streets in the city of Weiser"
was passed to third reading.
A communication from Lack &
Schmidt accepting the city bonds
was read.
The city attorney reported that the
qounty commissioners had decided it
was unnecessary for the assessor to
give bonds to the city. Seeing lhat
the city is onable to make the aases
or collect the city taxis, this is im
portant information, but leaves one
in the air as to what the bond would

decided that the city could ask it.

A BLIND LEAD ENCOUNTERED IN THE
DUNDEE AND GLASGOW CLAIMS
THAT IS VERY RICH.
Sam Wilson, superintendent of tbe
Glasgow and Dundee claims on Pro
file creek, being operated by H. L.
Hollister, arrived in the city from
the camp Wednesday evening. Mr.
Wilson brings the first authentic
news of the recent rich strike in
those properties. He brought with
him about 40 pounds of samples of
ores from the claims.
The strike was made in the tunnel
being run on the Glasgow, very near
the Dundee line, about 45 feet from
the mouth of the tunnel. The vein,
which is of very high grade, about
eighteen inches wide, ie s blind lead,
and was not known to exist, as It
does not show on the surface. Mr.
Wilson tested it in various ways and
is of tbe opinion that it will run 1300
per ton. He says there are indica
