Nb. l Citizen y
Of SilveCUy
Is I Only Citizen
SILVER CITY, I Idaho, ! Jan. 22
(flVYou would call this old min
ing village a ghost town but Wil
liam ; Hawes, 67, ; self -proclaimed
mayor, chief of police and No. ; 1
and only citizen, says "It ain't so."
Hawes still is confident that Sil
ver City - will one day make ; a
come! back, even since his last
sidekick, Carl Johnson, 71, . "cit
izen No. 2", left for warmer climes.
"The combination of cold win
ters and loneliness in Silver City
is just too damned much for me,"
said the departing Johnson; '
. Hawes wasn't ; outwardly dis
turbed at the prospect of being
alone in the city where .45 cali
ber Colts once were the law. He
has a couple pf hobbies in win
ters, he tinkers with the 16-horse
power motorcycle engine, that
runs his "bug," a little automo
bile fashioned along the lines of
a racing machine popular in 1915,
In summers he takes pick and
shovel and heads for the nearby
mountains. He has been ; digging
for silver for years.
"Some day Silver City will boom
agahv and I'm going to be all set"
he says. "I know these hills like
a book and have some likely spots
marked. There's still a lot of pos
sibilities for this country."
Rationing of food and clothing
doesn't bother Hawes. His lar
der is well stocked with canned
goods; and when he needs sup
plies 'like bacon, flour or baking
powder, he hikes over to Murphy,
the Owyhee county seat 26 miles
away, and loads up.
"Had a little trouble with those
ration books," he admits, "but ev
erything's OK now."
In his extra - spare time, Hawes
keeps : tabs on the remaining buil
dings and houses of Silver City
he gets "a big kick out of ramb
ling 'round."
In the early 1900's Silver City
was a typical western mining boom
town j and once had a population
of 10,000. Old newspapers and re
cords credit the nearby gold and
silver! mines with saving the Unit
ed States from financial collapse
after rthe civil war. Most of the
shafts now worked out were
dug in the sides of War Eagle and
Florida mountains which tower
8000 feet
Still standing on a hill in Sil
ver City are the old Idaho hotel,
the Masonic temple, the Catholic
church, and , the old Stoddard
home, once regarded as a palatial
mansion. Also remaining are the
ruins j of an old jail which was
burned down by a prisoner.
The; end of Silver City as a min
ing ; town began' about 1910 when
the mighty trade ' dollar mine
closed. Miners and hangers - on
moved; some going to Nevada or
California and new gold and sil
ver strikes; others headed for the
Yukon. J i ..
In 1934 Silver City endured its
greatest indignity when the coun
ty seat was moved to Murphy. Dur
ing the past few years, southwest
ern ' Idaho contractors have torn
down ( some of the old buildings
to salvage the lumber they con
tained, ' :
