 INDICATIONS OF SPRING.-Singing of rob ins and blue-birds, February 2sth thunder storms, March 3d.
 ERRATA-Some two weeks since the editor of the Enquirer requested all proper names and quotations of Scripture to be written very plainly and we suppose it was because the them. We judge so by the mistakes they made in our last communication.
 WEDDNG-The chief event of fthe past week has been the marriage of Wm. F. Kinney and Florence J. Garfield, at the residence of D. N. Garfield, on Wednesday, the 27th. A more beautiful day could not have been desired. About eighty guests were present. The mar riage ceremony was performed by Rev. W. s. Colton in his usual felicitous manner, Q sumptous dinner was prepared upon which the divine blessing was invoked by Rev. MT. Thrall. The wedding gifts were numerous and valuable, and it was a season of great social enjoyment. May the smiles of Providence, which crowned the day, remain with this hap py pair through life.
 DEATH.-In this connection we record the death of John Lobdell of dropsy, on the 26th, aged 62. Funeral attended on Thursday, Rev. Mr. Thrall officiating.
 INsTIrUTIoNs.-The County jail is and should be a matter of great interest to all the citizens of this county. Of it's exterior appearance we are not qualified to judge; of it's interior ac- commodations and it's unproitableness to the county we might say much. We are in favor of one county seat and one jail located outside the village of Litchfeld, with workshop and of land attached, where all those committed to it may have constant and profitable employ ment, thus lessening our county expenses, and at the same time, actiug as a reformatory institution. This is no visionary plan of our own. Such an institution, modelled after the Medina County, Ohio Infirmary, might be made both practical and profitable.
 -Thereis another Institution, the Litchfield Foreign Missionary Society, said to be in a waning condition of which in few numbers we wish to speak. It is not proposed to give an obituary as yet It will be soon enough for that after its next annual meeting but we would like to give it's history for the last six ty-fve years. The American Board of Com missioners for Foreign Missions, of which this Society is the first auxiliary, was organized with five corporate members in the pastorate of Dr. Porter, in Pennington, in the year 1910. s.

A Vile Practice.

1t has become a practice among a
number of street loafers to block the
main street sidewalks, and when re.
spectacle ladies pass to address in
sulting remarks to each other intended
for their hearing. Their actions are
very annoying, and have become the
subject of universal complaint among
the fair SEX, who dread to run the
gauntlet OF these tilthy-minded loung-
ers- We do not know n there is any
law h a would reach them, but a good
sized club, vigorously welded, might
have a corrective effect. 1t is a prac'
tice that no one with the faintest in
stinct of a gentleman would indulge
in, and we hope that this little notice
may come under their observation,
and induce them to abstain in the flu
tnre.

compromise.

We learn from authentic sources that
a compromise has been agreed upon
between the Ruby Consolidated Mining
Company and Messrs. Heyneman and
Platter, by which all litigation between
the parties ceases. All proceedings in
the Supreme Court have been stayed
for a period of ninety days, pending
the contamination OF the contract en-
tered upon and agreed to by the repre-
sentatives. The basis of the agreement
as reported is, that mutual receipts
shall pass between the Two parties,
covering all past transactions, includ-
ing ore extraction, etc. The property,
embracing mines and furnaces, will be
turned over to the English Company
within the next sixty days. The com
promise was effected by reason of GER
tain proceedings instituted in London
against H~eyneman's brother, relative
10 certain secret transactions and con-
veyance of stock at the time of the for
mation of the Ruby Consolidated Com
pany, which made him liable to prose-
cution for fraud, An action that had
already been instituted. We regard
the settlement as a matter of great i'm
p%ortance to Eureka. The Atlas and
Dunderberg are among the best of our
mines, and have lain idle tor a year.
1t is probable That in the event that the
compromise is accepted, that work will
be iuaugurated at once, giving employ
ment to a large force of men, and add.
ing its wealth to the output OF the dis.
trIct.

RICmMoNp CONSOLIDATED.

The following is the latest official
letter, published in the London Mining
Jou1WdL:
Telegram from the mine at Eureka,
Nevada: Weeks run, $50, 900, from L.
100 tons of ore; weeks produce of re-
finery, . 5000. No work has been
done in the 200 end since my last. We
have let a contract for drifting 100 feet,
which will begin tomorrow. The
stope in back of the 200 is very much
improved, it is much wider than we
expected, and at places it shows a
breast of 20 feet of good ore; the ore
from this stope is very high in gold
n silver, also rich in lead. There is
no change in the 400 drift; it is still in
q~nartzite. The stope above the 400 is
looking very well, but not much work
has been done in the western end since
my last. We are sinking a Wine from
this end Of the stope to the 400-foot
level to facilitate the working OF his
portion of the ore body. As soon as a
communication is made we shall begin
to stope; 1t will take 10 or 10 days to
make the communication. There is no
change either in the 500 or 600 drifts.
The Wine below the 900 is down 100
feet on the incline: it will take II feet
more sinking to get down 100 feet per-
pendicular. / am glad TO say that the
water does not increase, and it does
not make more than it did when / last
wrote. The ore we have beer smelling
for the past two weeks has been mus
ually rich, rs you will have noticed by
the extraordinary large returns cabled.
/ do not expect the returns to be so
high for the present week; the quail
ity of the ore has somewhat fallen off.
The furnaces are III good working or
der, and smelling large quantities of
ore.
The Journal makes the following
comments on the situation:
The directors have declared a divi.
dend of Is. cd. per share. 1t is an
nOunced that 20 600 ous Of ore have
been srnelted since the furnaces were
started on September 9TH, and that the
gross value OF the bullion yielded has
been 300, 000L., the profits of which,
when realized, is estimated at about
los, 000I., exclusive of The London ex.
penses. Owing to this highly favor
able condition of affairs. many of the
shareholders were of the opinion that
a dividend of los. per share ought to
have been declared. but the directors
beng unwilling to weaken the fnan
cial position of the concern, determined
upon Is. Cd, and this will, no doubt,
be to the ultimate advantage of the
company.

Sayings.

If the wave threaten to engulf you.
don't add your tears to the amount OF
water.
Individuality is everywhere to be
spared and respected as the root of
everything good.
Promises made in front of affiiction
require a better memory than people
generally possess.
History makes haste to record great
deeds, but often neglects good ones.
What is becoming is honest, and
whatever is honest must be becoming.
From the lowest depths there is a
path to the Hottest heights.
The more honesty a man has the
less he affects the air OF a saint; the
~atfectation of sanctity is a blotch on the
face of piety.
The lives of the best of us are spent
in choosing between evils.
The truly wise man should have nc
keeper of his secrets but himself.
Plate sin with gold and the strong
lance of justice hurtless breaks--arm it
in rags, a pigmy's straw doth pierce it.

a Bilk.

Notwithstanding MIR. Stenhouse's
short note to the contrary, we conclude
that he well deserves the cognomen Of
blk, applied to him by our Elko cor
respondent. We have been informed
of several questionable performances
of his while sojourning in Eureka, that
strongly point tothe truth of the char
acter given him. His excuse that be
was going to Palisade TO meet his
brother. and would shortly return, is
evidently but a fabrication, and we sur
mise that he has hi;ted Il a fresh field.
The press will do their readers a favor
by caulioning them, as he will proba-
bly, repeat his tactics all along the line
of the railroad. His directory and
agency for Salt Lake papers, are both
myths, and used only TO obtain money
from too contiding subscribers.
