OF tho crop In lSSO.Sl W,G00,0,0 bacs), Il was
estimated that 100000 bales were lost, owing
partly TO the weather being such as TO waste The
cotton IN the iields. and partly to the fact that in
The spring prices were so low 90 Lie In New
| York for March, April and May that the rem
nant OF the cotton remaining did not nav to

we have the winter before u.s. aud rs the picking
OF large crops extends into the sptiug in The

MULD1ON WITHOUT MAIL.
The Carrier, Receiving No Pay, Discon-
TIMES the Service.

Day before yesterday the carrier Of
the United States mail between Arco
and Muldoon attached the pony upon
which he carried the mail, and refused
to do his work unless he was paid the
arrearage of wages due him. As no
one else was found wiling to under
take the job of ca rying the mail, the
Postmasters Of Bellevue and Mulaoon
have notified the department Of the
failure of the contractors to fulfill their
contract, and await instructions from
asfington.
In the meantime Nuldoon is en-
tirely without mail communication
with the outside world, and the mail
matter is accommodating at Bellevue.
Already there is huge sackfull, al
though the service has only been sus-
pended three days.
The contractors are Campbell 4
Co., of Arco. They are insolvent.

RELIABLE NEWS FROM MULDnOy.
ne Little Wood River Company's
Mines and Shelters in Good Shane
Tor Profitable Run-Muldoon to
Have a Boom-Ete.

4 gentleman recently in from Null
doom gives very satisfactory account
OF affairs there.
The Little Wood River Mining and
smelling Company, which owns the
Muldoon and other mines there, have
their furnaces in good shape for an
early start III the spring, with the
BINS, both at the mines and smelter.
fall OF ore, and large quantity in
sight. During the. few DAYS trial run
about 100000 pounds Of base bullion
was turned out. Next year an effort
will be made to lay in supplies Of all
kinds T. continue the campaign until
well toward the spring of 1884.
An entirely new ore-body was struck
IN the lowest workings Of the Mul
doom mine, about a week ago, which,
day before yesterday, showed breast
OF five feet Of solid galena which as
says an average OF - ounces in sill
yer, and much Of which goes over 200
ounces. This is much higher grade
ore than any heretofore found in the
mine, and tends to indicate that the
ore will prove richer in depth. About
80 men are employed in and about
the mine, and will be kept all win
ter.
-Four or five strong companies and
about twice that number of smaller
ones will operate at Muldoon and Vi
entity next year, and as they have
good property to work they will doubt
less make a splendid showing, which
will undoubtedly secure the sectiou a
big and prolonged boom.

THE YIELD OF THE MAYFLOWER.
About $.SO,00O Produced In Six
Months.

The Maytlower mine, of Bullion,
retained its leading position, this year,
and yielded 500 tons of first class ore
carrying an average Of 10 ounces
silver and about 20 per cent. lead,
valued at about $lSU,000. Owing to
the lack Of transportation facilities the
yield was not half as large as it
might have been, and several hundred
tons of ore remained on the dumps.
The ore breasts are in fine shape, and
the extraction of ore can be resumed
as early as desired in the spring.
The Mayhower mine was sold to
Mr.. Farwell, the Chicago merchant
prince, and few associates, last Feb
ruary, for $4,000. If the present
owners had so desired they could have
extracted the entire purchase price
during the past six months.

MASONIC.
The Heathens Organizing a Lodge, ALE
Same White Man,


Chinatown was in turmoil of ex-
cltement Yesterday, last night and this
morning, and the men swarmcd as
bees in spring time. a few timid
residents OF town, noticing the large
congregation Of Cinnamon in groups
and crowds, and their excitement and
gesticulations, feared that a riot was
at hand, and probably q massacre Of
the whites; but the demonstration
was purely of peaceable nature.
There is large number OF Cinnamon
in HALEY who are members OF the
Masonic Order, and a meeting was
called for the purpose Of having a
masonic temple built here. A COM
mittae Of Cinnamon waited upon the
School Trustees Yesterday, and secured
the use of the Haley Public school to
hold mass meeting. a lodge will
lie organized and a Masonic Hall
built, as the Cinnamon succeeded in
perfectiny a ledge organization.
The School Trustees secured sulliti-
ent rent for the use Of the building to
pay for the saving and splitting Of the
hrewood which will be required for
the next term Of school.

claim that the wooden blocks used in
many cities for pavements have a de-
cited unhealthy influence. The
blocks being placed with their fibrous
ends upward, are saturated by rain, in
which is dissolved the filth of the

damp for long tine, and presents
large and un"holesome evaporatng
surface.
