While attending market on Saturday
morning, an elderly gentleman named
Mayn from Chester county, was ap-
preached by man named Thompson,
who said that he was acquainted with
him at one time. Mr.. Mayne did not
recognize the man, but took it for grant
ed that perhaps he had met him. After
talking a. short time the man asked Mr..
Mayne TO accompany him to house,
where he said he had drawn somemonoy
THROUGH lottery, and wanted to get it.
Mr. Mayne accompanied him to the
house, located on French street above
Third, where table was spread with
a number of cards, ETC., thereon dis
played The stranger sat down and
commenced to draw, after trying his
luck Tor few minutes, he said he did
not have any luck and asked Mr..
Mayne to, take a chance. Mr.. NJ. at first
refused, but after some persuasion he
Tried his h. and, and drew ticket for
s5Oo, as the stranger alleged, but in
order TO get this. money, he had to pro-
daee bsS)O as a & uarantee of good faith,
SIC. Mayne, OF having the desired
amount with lin went out and Dor.

house 'was clos cd and the would. be

BETHLEHEM, a pretty little town up
amongst the Mountains of Pennsylva
MIA, is undergoing a terrible smallpox
scourge the wors: ever known in an
interior town in that State. The popu.
lation is not more than 5000 aud yet on
Saturday last in one section of the town
over two hundred cases had been re-
ported and eighteen additional deaths
had been reported since Friday. The
authorities have compelled the vacci.
nation of nearly everybody. AS tro.
ply to the effects of vaccination the
chief Burgess reports that there has
not been a single case of smallpox
where vaccination had been success
fully performed previously. The good
news goes forth that the disease has
been checked.

On SATURDAY, as our readers must
have noticed, the REPUBLICAN came to
them in an enlarged form, by the add
ton of four columns more of matter.
This enlargement is not to be perma-
nent, but only on days when we are
crowded with press of matter and
busy advertising seasons, when there is
a demand by our patrons for more room.
To accommodate this urgent demand
for more advertising space, and at the
same time for a reasonable amount OF
reading news matter, we have pur-
chased new chases and we will hereaf-
ter adjust the size of the paper to suit
the demand for space. The REpUBLI-
CAN will most probably appear every
Saturday and occasionally through the
week in al enlarged form.
Daily Republican. [volume] ([Wilmington, Del.]) 1874-1890, 1882-03-20

REPUBLICAN would have been the best
medium for the dissemiEat alton of such
knowledge, for we aver without the
fear of successful contradiction thar
more Democrats take and read the RE-
PUBLICAN than take the two Demo-
cratic dailies in the city combined. 10
our readers we can only say that II
they want to knew what the provisions
of the new Health ordinance is, they
must purchase or borrow copy OF the
Gazette, the Every Evening,the Morn
ing Free Press or the Sunday Star, ana
we give those papers this advertisement
gratuitously that the people may know
what the health laws Of the city are and
that they may be saved from the penal
ties provided for violation of them.

THE PREMIUM DISCOVERY.
Four Hundred Feet Square Of
 Solid Copper Ore.

The most important copper find yet
 made in the Territory was reported to
 the ENTERPRISE Thursday by Mr. G. w.
 Sharp, of Richmond Basin. The extent
 of the ledge in question is so great that
 we should feel doubtful as to the truth of the description given us, did we not know
 Mir. Sharp to be man of unimpeachable veracity and miner of cool and matured judgment, not liable to be deceived in a matter of this kind. The discovery was made on the first of April by MT. Sharp and Ebert Jones. It Is located in a lit tie basin on the top of the mountain which rises between the Gila river Butte. It is three miles from the river to the claim and gradual ascent, up which a good wagon road can be graded at small cost, The ledge shows on the surface for a distance of three thousand feet and averages from four to six hun dred feet in width. The whole of this surface shows ore in some form, and at one point the ledge shows without a break an ore surface four hundred feet square, in which every variety of copper ore appears. The predominant varieties at this point are black oxide, malachite, azurite, red oxide and copper glance. The lead runs northeast and southwest as near as can be determined at present. The discoverers located four parallel claims, respectively, the Orient, the Copper Belle, the Occident, and the Zephyr The lead they call the Copper Basin lead. Three parties are interested in the claims, name ly, G. W. Sharp, Ebert Johnson and Thos. C. Smith. The latter gained his interest by stalking the prospectors This camp will be tributary to Florence, there being good wagon road leading from here to the point on the river where the dis coverers located theirmill- It is about twenty-five miles from here to the claims.

SAN PEDRO, April 12, 1882.
 ED. EFTERPRIsE:-H Having been silent for some time thought perhaps an item or twofrom this quiet neighborhood would be read with pleasure byth many readers of your valuable paper. The Gila has been pretty high for some time in conse- quence of the melting snow in the msun- tai.,s on the upper Gila It is now for dable from the fact that Messrs. Finch & Bates have finished their ditch, and robbed the turbulent Gila of the waters of the San Pedro that helped to swell its angry bosom. Considerable stir is being experienced by the expectant miners in this section. Hail bros. of New York were here negotiating for some copper mines belonging to Tweed and O'Brien. Mir. Richard, the assayer and mining ex- pert of Tucson, accompanied them and sampled the mines, and I understand the assays gave entire satisfaction. A speedy sale is anticipated. A party has entered | ilUo iu dSIeeiuelI hlCu Jlle AnuerSOn bros. to extract the coal from their mines at Deer creek for the purpose of burning coke and are to pay them for their coal at the rate of 5000 per ton. They have agreed to extract certain amount believe,-I do not know the stipulated amount. They expect to sell thelr coke to the copper company that are to erec smelters at point on the Gila, about ter miles from the mouth of the San Pedro where Deer creek flows into the Gila A road can be easily constructed dow the creek from the coal beds, atamoderat cost, and the Gila can be bridged lat tha point cheaply, as it is very narrow.

 work At 90 feet they drifted 30 feet t the ledge and showed up fine body C high grade ore This mine promises
 bonanza to it's lucky owners and for tn
 quantity and quality of its ores is une1 s celled but by few
