The Signal from Weiser Idaho reports a mix of local items, ads, and society notes. It mentions the new commissioners meeting, prices at Sommer & Corrie, and rail plans by Baker City, plus deaths, measles cases, taxes, and travel to Portland for a bar purchase.
Sam Pool and Levi Keithley visited Weiser while Mary Jonson came to attend school. Various residents including Chas Green, Olrs Nevins, Dan Ackley, N M Hawthorn, Lizzie Cope, Gus Sears, and Isidore Fuchs were mentioned with visits, schooling, or travels. Legal notes, a new safe for Sommer and Gorrie, and a push for agricultural college funding appear amid advertisements and town chatter. The piece also notes a coal car at the depot and a call for prompt debt settlements by W W Downes.
The Warren camp near Idaho and Washington counties hosts about 100 whites and 2000 Chinamen working on placer mines with high prices due to isolation. Mines named Mayflower, Grant, and others show rich ore from $100 to $28,000 per ton. A wagon road to Weiser will connect it more directly, with plans for tunnels, mills, and expanding operations next season. Also local notices from Weiser and Mineral discuss weather, sickness, stage service, and community events.
