out foundation If all, or even a part, of the reports we recieve from the mines of of that vicinity are true. If the South Pioneer Is anything like the mine it is said to be, it will be sufficient, within it. self, to build up and sustain prosperous little town, and we believe that the latter property is one of real and great worth Men we know to be competent and trust worthy, have so reported 1t to us after making personal examination of the mine.
 The Florence Social Club met at the courthouse Monday evening, and dis posed of business in the following order: Received and adopted the report of the committee on rules; granted the commit tee on furniture and quarters further time; instructed the secretary to procure a book in which to record the proceedings of the club; decided to celebrate Saint Patrick's day in the evening by sheet and pillow-case party; and appointed a committee to arrange programme for the same; appointed committee to provide refreshments for the St. Patricks dance; admitted two new members and levied special assessment No. l, to replenish the treasury.

 Mr. Linkton says he never saw so many fine and large led es in one district as he saw at Mineral Hill, and further states that they would be taken by mining cap italists and opened up if they could be Sc cured at reasonable prices. We would suggest in this connection that gentle men holding dozen good claims in that district, would do well to dispose of a few to good men at a low fl i5ure, upon the condition that said claims be developed at once The latter fact would convince the outside world that Mineral Hill has not been overratsd and would create an active demand for properties there. This would enable the gentlemen referred to above, to realize good prices for the their re- mainin. claims. Time was when unde veloped prospects, eren in undeveloped districts, with one third the surface show in to be found at Mineral Hih, would sell readily at hlgh price. But the same Is not true now. There must be some ood mines in district, proven by thorough development before it's unopened claims will command fancy prices.
 Mr. w. H. Sutherland had Mexican arrested the other day, on a charge of stealing boat and cutting it up. The defendant claimed that he took the craft out of the water to preserve 1t from the wear and tear of the weather, till Mir
 sutherland should call for it. Consider ing this kindly intention, the dispensers ut justice took the responsibility of com promising the case and took the prisoner s note for $l00, thenty-fve dollars of the amount to be paid Mir Sutherland as a consideration for the loss of his boat, and the remainder, We presume to cover the costs, etc., of the case. This makes the third criminal case compromised within the past two weeks by the payment of costs, fees, etc One of the cases was tried before jury and the latter disa- greed, standing eleven for conviction and one fer acquittal. The prisoner was dis charged upon payment of the costs. This method oi dispensing justice may not be in accordance with the statutes, but it is expeditions and saves the county the ex ' pensc of boarding prisoners.
 A gentleman at Denver, Colorado, anG representing a stroug nbination of cap ital, offers to build custom mill on the river, at or near this point, provided he can secure a guarantee of one hundred
 
 tons of ore per month. It would be easy to secure this or greater amount of ore fol custom mill fairly and honestly con ducted, but it would be difficult to procure one man could undertake to give such ; guarantee, and it would be hard ts brin ? the mine owners together in joint ar , rangement of that nature. It might b. . accomplished, however, by the miner } holding a consultation on the subject I
 would be grand thing for the count, 5 and do more toward developing its match less mineral resources than any other en terprise that could be started at present . The gentleman proposing the undertak | ing, state that he will buy ore by sample 9 and make immediate payment in cash
 This would enable every prOspector o
 miner in the county, who has merito
 rious claims, to pay the expense of devel oplng, and possibly leave him goot l profit beside. As soon as his property - developed sufficiently to show that 1t is o genuine mine, it will find ready sale at :, fair price. We would be glad to hea from the mine owners on this subject d l once If they let this opportunity pas n they may not have another one.
