DAY MINE. Work in this mine pro-
crosses steadily and developments con-
tinue very favorable. Ore has been en-.
countered in the drift run from the AGO.
foot level, the deepest workings in the
mine, assays from which going as high as
$500 have been obtained, but we were
unable to learn the average assay. The
extent of this ore deposit is as yet un-
known, and whether it will prove large
and valuable awaits further development.
There are about two and half tons Of ore
being shipped daily to the Hillside fur
mace, and large amount of ore lies OH
the dump awaiting shipment, but owing
to the scarcity Of teams and the large
amount of work the furnace has to do,
it is impossible to ship large quantities,
although the mine is ready to do so at any
moment. There is a gentleman largely
interested in the Day Company who is
expected to arrive here during the COM
ing week for the purpose Of inspecting
the mine, and much depends on his say
as to what the company shall do in re.
gard to matters and things.
For Assessor. - John N. Craig an.
nounces himself as a candidates for the
Assessorship of Lincoln county, subject
to the decision of the Democratic County
Convention. Mr.. Craig is an old resident
of Lincoln county and served as County
Commissioner for one term, which posi-
ton he honorably filled, proving himself
faithful guardian Of the public's inter-
| est, and we know of no better man for
the position that the Democrats could
nominate, for this gentleman stands well
with the settlers throughout the county,
and should he prove to be the winning
candidate, all who know him feel conf
dent that, if elected, he will make as
faithful and trustworthy Assessor as he
made a County Commissioner.
| For SHERIFF.--In another column will
will be found the announcement of s. D.
Smith, who is in the field for the Office Of
Sheriff of Lincoln county, subject to the
decision of the Democratic County Con.
vention. Mr.. Smith has been in the grain
business in Phoebe for several years, and
is the junior member Of the firm Of Curtis
& Smith. He is fully competent to dis
charge the duties connected with the
Sherif's Office in manner that will give
satisfaction, and he is worthy the re-
spectful consideration of the members of
the convention. &'r
FATHER MALoNEY, who has been
spending a week in Phoebe, left here Mon.
day on his return to Cherry Creek, where
he is now located and is busily engaged

Church at that place. He speaks very
favorably Of Cherry Creek, says there are
