The Peck mill is now running and will continue to do so without cessation if notb- Ing happens. It is great benefit to tbe whole county to have this fine property aft work producing. In peace it will do well In war 1t is good for nothing.
 THEATRIcA..-The performance at the new Theater last evening was we'll attended consequently must have been a pretty good thing for the gentleman who received inc proceeds. We never were a critic, so "we'II let that pass.''
 Twelve bars of bullion from the Ida May mine which was smelted at Agua Fria smelter, recently, for Mir Chas. Rice went S4Os. The Ida May IS located between the Kit Carson and Silver Belt mines and is thought to be equal to either.
 J. l.. Hall, at his tidy meat market one door north of Raible's Brewery, keeps dried beef and venison, salmon, mackeral and all the finest kinds of steaks and choice meats for roasting and boiling.

He is dissatisfied with the Super vfc for l far above its value and almost double what it can be sold for.

 1 A letter from Hon. Abe Kiewc of Big Bug, notes times and prospecting brisk .in the district. Several lodges have been found of late and quite number of sales perfected, which is the immediate cause of lively times. We arc confident that Big Bug is first-class mining district, and will yet produce plenty of bullion. The new town to be built will be named Chicago. w. Robbins, of the Inter- Ocean, has gone to SmIthville for the purpose of re- porting upon the mines in that district, m which Chicago capitalists are interested. Mir R. has a very good idea of mines and mining enterprises, and will write them up for the Inter-0cesn. just as they are, with out fear or favor We are satisfied that his report will be a good one. New ard rich mines are being discovered every few days in the district.
 Coop NEws.-John Steamer, an honest miner and good station keeper who resides at Ash Creek, has discovered another rich mine in Cherry Creek district about three miles from Smithville. The ore is of a car bonate character, shows gold, silver and copper. Just how large the lead is, will have to be fourd out by prospecting. The quantity of float and croppings is enough however, to justify the assertion that it is big thng.
