LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
New DIAMOND FIELDs.-It is not nee
essary for Piochers to so to far-off South
Africa in search for diamonds, for we
have broad fields of the precious gems at
over very door, where the sparkling bril-.
liants can be scooped up by the shovelful,
and every pebble diamond Of the first
water. These diamond fields are in Utah,
situated at the base of the Wah Wah
Mountains, twenty miles this side of
Frisco, and about seventy miles east of
Phoebe. The people of Frisco have gone
wild with excitement over the discovery,
and s. S. Rodgers, who has just returned
from there, says the people were focking
10 the diamond fields, and the country has
been located all around. The occasion of
this excitement is one Chas. Lammerdorf,
who appeared in Frisco and calling at
Pat Molloy's saloon, he took the proprie-
tor into the back room and exhibited to
him a large collection of diamonds, en-
eralds and sapphires, and the next day
Lammerdorf and Molloy departed for
Salt Lake. and shortly after their arrival
in that city an advertisement appeared in
the Tribune notifying the public to call
and look at the brilliants from the dia-
mond fields of Southern Utah compared
with the precious stones of Brazil, and
signed by Chas. Lammerdorf, discoverer
and owner of the diamond fields. Owing
to the grea. wealth that Piochers possess,
they intend waiting till the Friscoites get
their fill of gems, when a few l8-nule
teams will be sent from here and several
loads OF the diamonds brought to town.
VOTERS, BEwARE.-The voters next
Tuesday should be careful in regard to
the tickets they vote, as C. G. Hubbard,
Independent candidate for District
Judge, has been sending tickets to the
as they do not conform in size with the
order Of the Commissioners. The tickets
of Lincoln county are 4 inches in width
and ten in length, and the names are
printed on the left hand side. The Hub
bard ticket is inches broad and 10
inches in length. and the names are
printed in the middle.
BONDED INDEBTEDNESS On the first
of January, 1883, the bonded indebted
ness Of Lincoln county falls due. The
amount of this bonded debt is $3.50, 600,
and there have accumulated an arrear-
age Of interest on this bonded debt the
sum of SOS, 900, making total indebted
ness of S275, 900 which will fall due on
the above day, and there is not a cent in
the county treasury with which to meet
this monster. Lincoln county also has a
floating debt of number of thousands Of
dollars. Why should VIC not be happy
WHITE PINE.-We learn from W. E,
Griffin that affairs up at Hamilton are or
the improve. The Smokey mill is under
going repairs preparatory to starting vi
and wood and ore are being accumulated
at the mill. The ore assays from SlO(
and upwards. 1t is believed that there
will be a sufficient amount of ore anc
supplies collected at the mill to keep i
running the entire winter. Many of tn
buildings down near the mill are beini
repaired and placed in suitable condition
for people to live in.
THE LIVELY FLEEs.-O. P. Sherwoo'
and c. F. Meyers, Republican candidate
for Sheriff and Assessor respectively
have been on the keen jump the entir
week canvassing, and it bothers their op
ponents to keep track Of them. They ar
here to-day and there tomorrow, and tn
devil only knows where they are the mex
day.
