of that newspaper it will be seen that the
names of J. n Louder and Herbert Steele
| will fly at the masthead as the "Guard-
ian Angels" of that banner, Edward Pike
having withdrawn. Mr.. Louder is an ex-
perienced newspaper man, having edited
newspapers in Texas and New Mexico,
where he has large tracts of land utilized
as grave yards, and as he is again in the
harness he will probably locate Bonanza
| Flat and convert it into burial ground.
| Mr.. Lounder has done considerable writ
ing for the "Miner" while it was pub
lished by Mr.. Pike and is fluent writer.
Herbert Steele is young man who is
well-known to his brother craftsmen on
the Pacific Coast and is Woodworking
and steady young man, standing well
among the members of the craft. "Her-
bert" is good Mormon name and will
take well with the Silver Refers, and
then friend Steele is big-hearted boy,
and will steal all the Mormon girls he
can. The people of Silver Reef have not
of late given the "Miner" the liberal sup
port which that newspaper has justly
merited, for it has always been an ex-
cellent local paper, and now as there has
been change in the proprietors, it is to
be hoped that the Refers will bury the
the Ratchet and render the 'Miner" all
the support they possibly can, for the
paper is of great benefit to Silver Reef
and its citizens, and one good turn de-
serves another.

chloriders' ore hoisted out of the Meadow
Valley mine the past week. The greater
portion Of this ore is rich chloride and
the owners expect to make quite snug
little sum from the same. There were
two train loads of ore brought to the Dry
Valley mill the early part of the week,
but owing to repairing the track no more
could be shipped. The ore chutes and
platform at No. 3 works are filled and
covered with ore awaiting shipment, and
considerable yet in the mine to hoist.
No hosting has has been done for the
past three days, owing to there being no
room on top for any more ore until another
shipment is made.
