will be glad to learn, that the affairs of
of the Lincoln Silver Mining Company
of Ell Dorado Canyon will soon be
Strengthened out and the company will re-
sumo work on their mines on a sound
basis. Messrs. Huntington, Baker, and
another gentleman, all of Minneapolis,
Minnesota, have agreed to put up $50, 900
for one-half of the capital stock of the
corporation. A telegram received here
states that Mr.. Huntington will arrive in
Phoebe between now and the 10th of next
month. The indebtedness of the CON-
pany will not probably exceed $500.
Andy Fife started on his return to the
Canyon on Tuesday. When work is re-
sumed by this company, its affairs are to
be under the supervision of men who
know something about mining, and not
men who thing they know.
ROLLER SKATING.-Roller skating has
been given quite an impetus the past
two weeks by ous Young men, who night
ly congregate at Armory Hall to while a
couple of hours away by gliding over
the floor on wheels, and also on the seat
of their breeches. Those who claim to be
have been experts at skating on ice, and
know all about it, astonish themselves by
hopping the dusty floor with their
clothes. A number of the performers
amuse themselves by taking a slide and
elevating their toes above their Uranium,
then coming down with great force, as
though they were endeavoring to punch a
hole through the floor of the hall with the
south end Of their spinal column. Its
such fun, you know.
.THE VERDIcT.-The virdict of the jury
in the Guiteau case, of murder in the first
degree, will not only be hailed with joy
in the United States, but throughout the
world. 1t is the general belief that Gui
teau is not altogether sound in mind; but
there is very little doubt whatever that
the prisoner knew full well what he was
doing, and the Nervousness of the crime
he was about to commit when he planned
and put into execution the assassination
of the late President Garfield. The exc
cution of Guiteau will be an excellant
warning to the numerous cranks in this
country. They will not be as plentiful
IS they were Just after the assassination.
A BooM.--They are talking of having
boom down at FL Dorado Canyon.
Great INCONVENIENCE is experienced there
in securing supply of wood for the mills,
which is brought up by boat from Cotton.

there at certain periods, according to the
stages of water in the Colorado. The
plan is to construct an anchorage about
600 yards out in the river, at bend
half mile above the Canyon, and
make strong and substantial boom, then
float the wood down the river from above.
1t is estimated that the boom can be built
at cost of $1,000.
GOLDEN DAYs.-This is the name of a
paper published in Philadelphia and is
intended especially for boys and girls
being profusely illustrated and filled with
both instructive and interesting miscel-
laneous reading matter. 1t is edited with
ability, and shows quick sympathy with
pleasures for the young people. Parents
wishing to procure an interesting paper
for their children, will secure it by sub
scribing for the "Golden Days" Price,
$3 per year. s.,a D. ,,.r
