near the Arizona line. One OF the dis

tons OF ore, which he disposed OF for

The toothpick is in him yet, and keep

bother him so long o. he stands up, but
the minute he seats himself it makes a
jab at his abdominal region which causes
him to get up and howl as il he had q

On the subject Of the Black Hills the
Gold Hill News Of the 25th Of February
says;
The Black Hills fever, mentioned BY
US has spread as far as Virginia,
at which place il is getting
to be quite the topic of conversation, al.
though as yet very few show alarming
symptoms.
In saying this 1t may be we'll to make
an exception OF young man named Ed
Dockery, who left the city last night
bound for the new Dorado, his whole
capital consisting OF twenty-one bic
Carson dollars. He expected to be able
to 'spar" his way along the line OF the
Central and Union Pacific railroads
without paying for more than an occa.
sional meal. OF course such Quixotic
idea as paying for riding on either road
never entered his mind. As he has
started out early, before a rush to the
Hills is made by others in similar cir
cumstances, It is more than likely he
can accomplish the journey withou,
difficulty. Should the fever continue e
increase for month or two, woe to the
luckless wight who then attempts e
spar" his way; he will be apt to meet
with but little favor at the hands OF the
railroad men.
