May its owners amass millions; they deserve it.

They inform us that they will be prepared to sell at wholesale or retail, and take produce of the country, or greenbaclss, as best suits responsible purchasers. The acquisition to Salt River people will be good one. Look out for their advertisement soon.
 The case of the May Bean Mining Co. against the Peck Mining Co. and William Hardy, its Superintendent, and Jno.

Mr. Morgan, for the Peck Co, moved to dismiss the complaint, which mo- ton was resisted by MT. Fitch, for the May Bean Co. The Commissioner held that the complaint was good, whereupon the defend ants pleaded not guilty, and the trial, as we have said, is progressing.

 Any boy, with sense enough to appreciate an act of kindness, would thank them for it as soon as he became old enough to under stand the service they had done him. Boys, in their teens, hanging around saloons and s,amhling tables until eleven o'clock at night even if they neither drink nor play, are not ant to learn much that we'll be use full to them in after life. It is from such beginnings that vagabonds and drunkards come. Drive them home.

Tie same parties have another lot Of different grade, amounting to ever hun dred tons that will be worked as soon as this run is through with. The snow storms make fhe old Crook mill laugh until she shakes her sides, at the prospect of schawing" up mn enormous quantity of quartz this Spring. Her owner also wears pleased expression of countenance, as the big flakes come sail ing by his window.
