legal business.
w. c. English returned from
Spring Creek via Gunnison a few
days. William has been spending a
short time at Moscow.
Mrs. Tom Scott has been quite un-
we'll for the past few days. As her
malady has only been an old fashioned
bad cold we believe she has fully re-
covered.
We are sorry to learn that ]. w.
Spencer has been quite ill for the past
few days. He has the prayers of the
PILOT for his speedy recovery, which

forthwith.

Mr.. w. A. McDougal, brother Of

Dame rumor has it that our grocery

That is right, John, my boy, have the
courage to say yes, and "speak for
yourself" for in that city by the lakes
they have some " awfully good-looking
girls"
Our jolly friend, Judge Carr, re-
turned from Gunnison Saturday. He
says somebody sent his wife copy Of
this paper, in which it was stated that
he had quit playing chess and become
the " boss" pugilist of the camp. We
didn't send the paper, but we can't
tell lie-Bill English did 1t.
H. S. DeVries, formerly OF the firm
Of DeVries & Kastner, left for Illinois
on Thursday Of last week. Mr., De-
Vries has large number of rich
friends in Peoria and vicinity, some
of whom he will interest with him in
the Bees-wax lode and other proper
ties. As to the value Of this lode we
can unhesitatingly say that it has
demonstrated itself to be one of the
best mines in this camp, and we desire
to say of Mr.. DeVries, that during
his stay for the past year in this camp
he has won from our people the pro-
foundest respect. May he be eminent
ly successful in his endeavor to help
the camp as we'll as himself.

Mrs. Samuel Powell gave one of the
most delightful card parties last Fri.
day evening that it has been our for
tune to participate in during our resi-
dence in camp. But then it is we'll

how to do such things. Although the
number of guests was small, they
were convivial and the time flew
pleasantly and rapidly. The supper,
which was spread about 10 O'Clock,
was the most recherche affair we have
enjoyed for 10, these many months.
Mrs. Powell tried to excel her own
unequalled effort in preparing this lit
tie feast. 1t took the combined efforts
