roof, which will soon be completed. 1t
was just about three months from the
time that Henry Raymond first started
shipping material for the construction of
his mill till the first stamps fell. Consider
able delay was caused in the transporta-
ton of material by the storms. The mill
is fve-stamper, yet was constructed SO
five additional stamps could be added at
any moment with but little trouble, and
they are now preparing to put in place
the additional stamps. This mill is stu
ated in canyon about fifteen miles from
Hike, and the townsite has recently been
christened "Cassel City, IN honor Of Jack
Cassel, the dashing superintendent of the
Green Monster mine. The mill has
supply of water sufficient to run twenty
stamp mill, which is furnished by
spring, and as the water is eighteen feet
higher than the pans, it does away with
the pumping Of water altogether. The
mine is situated one mile and half from
the mill, and the ore is all packed along
the mountains on mules from the mine to
mill. The ore which is run through
pulps from 500 to $780, The Green
Monster mine is looking splendid, there
being large quantity of ore in sight. In
the tunnel that was being run a three
foot vein was encountered, which is 80
feet below the bottom of the shaft, and
assays from $3.50 to $3.50 per ton. There
are about 45 men employed at both mine
and mill. w. M. Wilson says Henry
Raymond will probably be in Phoebe the
last of the month with load of bullion.
THE LAw.-As there is some little ill
feeling felt toward Mr.. MARITIME for refus.
ing to carry sealed letters to and fro from
Bristol unless they are stamped, we print
the postal law in regard to the same. It
says: Letters cannot be carried out Of
the mail except in postage-stamped en-
velopes. There is no objection to per-
son who is not acting as common carrier
carrying sealed letter, whether in a
stamped envelope or not; but to continue
the practice, or receive money for so do
ing, would subject the party to penalty
of one hundred and fifty dollars" An
other portion of the law states positively
that sealed envelope, with corner torn
off, is not an "open letter."
On the 18th ultimo, man named John
Lawless was killed at Candelaria by a
blow from pick.handle in the hands OF
Dennis Harrington, better known as
double Den." Ill feelings are said to
have existed between them for some time
prior to the killing, owing to the too in.
innate relations of Harrington and Mrs.
Lawless. Harrington is former resident
of Phoebe, having resided here from II
until rs, and from the first part of "a
until about eighteen months ago. He il
well-known character all over the
Coast, and is said to be of belligerent
nature.
