0ID SMOKY CLOSED DowN.-Ihls mill
10 now under lease to the Stafford Com
,sny of Treasure Hill, who have Tor a
number OF months past been running 1t
on their own ores, but have concluded to
close it down until next spring, when
they will have out u large amount Of ore,
and will run the mill to its full capacity
of twenty stamps. In any event they
would be compelled to stop IN a few
weeks, for when tine storms come on
they could not haul ore from their mine
TO the mill. We are informed that the
company's mine the Stafford-never
looked better than at present. and during
the winter much work will done upon it.
and as 1901 as the weather will permit in
the spring. vigorous operations will be
commenced for a long aud profitable run.
We predict for this company great sue
cess, and look upon it as one of the per-
manent mining Institutions of this dis
trict.
THANKSGIVING DAY.-The weather DUR
ing the day was beautiful, and if for no
other reason. u people should have
given thanks for this alone, as Thanks
giving days in this high altitude are usu-
ally cold and stormy. There were no re-
ligious services held in either of the
churches. as is customary in most civil
lied communities, for the reason that u
people are too poor to support
even one minister, which is a lamentable
and degrading fact. However, what was
lacking in the usual christian customs,
was fully made up in the way of good
eating by most of the families, whose
tables fairly groaned with all the luxu-
ries that could be piled upon them. In
this connection. we return thanks to one
of our neighbors for the way up din
ner we were invited to partake ola
luxury somewhat uncommon to US.
LIVELY TIMEs.-A gentleman just in
from Ward informs us that they had
lively times there last Saturday night.
There was any number OF fights. several
collar bones broken, and battered faces
and bloody noses were plentiful. One
man, Gambler Jack, was SO badly beaten
that it was thought he would die. Our
informant says hat about the time he
was leaving two men were quarreling on
the street, and had their pistols out. but
some citizens told them that if they
wished to fight they must 60 off the Main
street. and they accordingly started for
more secluded quarters to have the fight.
but were nipped'by officer Kerr before
they got fairly at it.
FrRE.NH has %been long time since
we have heard the cry of fire in Hamil-
ton, but on Thanksgiving Day the sound
came Familiarity to our ear. Postmaster
Carpenter had some cotton lining placed
on the roof of his residence for the pur-
pose of keeping out the snow. and having
a big FIRE ia the kitchen stove to cook the
Thanksgiving turkey, etc., some sparks
set fire to the new lining. which was soon
put out by the aid Of a few buckets
of water. Had the residence burned
down. it would have been a most
serious loss to those persons the Post.
master had invited to dine with him.
