New STRIKE. What is known as
the New York Consolidated Mining
Company, composed of Joseph
Goldswolthy and Henry Fault and
Joseph, his brother, struck a six
inch sheet of blackjack last week.
Your correspondent was there and
examined the ore when it came
to the surface, and pronounced it
first-class ore. We are glad to see
labor so Justly rewarded. They
have a lease of three years on lands
belonging to Ross Il Henry, gener-
ally known as the "west end" 1t
was struck at the depth of twenty
two feet. They have procured
ten-inch pnmp for the purpose Of
working their mines and will as soon
as ready commence sinking through
to the glass rock opening, when they
will give employment to all the men
they can possibly work.
At the Poad Il Czech mine the
other day young man of consider
able reputation as a checker player
(having acquired his knowledge of
the game by playing at Mineral
Point on Sundays came out second
best in a game with Richard Ire
dinnick. His defeat is the more
humiliating for the reason that Ire
dinnick is not accustomed to play
ing checkers. His professional
pride is severely wounded, but hopes
are entertained that he will survive,
although his reputation as a checker
player is knocked into a cooked hat
The new mirror recently purchased
by Joe Pollard for bis barber shop
on Main street, is q very fine one.
Joe has shown excellent taste in its
selection. 1t was purchased from
Mr. Samuel Francis, of Mineral
Point. Call i'll and see it; you will
find the proprietor ready to receive
you.
Mr.. John Roland of Cambourne,
England, has been spending a few
weeks at Linden, making his home
at Mrs. Migrants hotel. He is an
agreeable and well informed gen
tleman. Mr. Roland is at present
on a visit to Elizabeth, Illinois,
but intends to return soon to this
place. While at Galena, on his way
coming here, he had little expert
enee with 4 reporter for The Gazette,
which was very discreditable to the
newspaper man. The reporter was
hard up for items, and wrote very
pathetic story of which he made |
Mr.. Il. the hero. We would advise
the Gazette man not to write another
story during the lifetime of the prin-
cipal character, especially when that
person is a Camborne man who was
not born yesterday, and one who
makes it his special business to give
him away. Mr.. Roland says if that
fellow is a good sample of average
newspaper men. he does
not wish any further acquaintance
with the fraternity.
Mrs. Rickard and daughter Ada,
and Miss A. Thomas will start on
m orning for Iron Noun
tain. Michigan. Many friends at
Linden wish them prosperity and
happiness in their new home.
Mr.. Thomas James who is well |
known to Mineral Point people, has
decided to try his fortune in North
ern Michigan.
