A GENTLEMAN from Paris, Texas,
gives the particulars Of a strange and
thrilling event connected with the
recent storm which visited that place.
Whiie the cyclone was passing north
of the place the air seemed impregna-
ted with electricity. The lightning
descended like an avalanche Of de-
struction, doing great damage. Trees,
houses and persons were DESTROYED by
it. Wallace Hill. a young man, was
on his Way Ia the city in q wagon,
and when he reached the suburbs the
storm was at its height. Suddenly a
bolt of lightning fell from the clouds
above upon him. He was instantly
killed. Portions Of his clothing we're
stripped from the body. But the
strangest Phenomenon WAS the fact
that a branch Of a tree under which he
had taken shelter was photographed
across his breast i'm livid red. The
work was perfectly done, the branch
Of the tree showing distinctly, and the
and delirate veins in the leaves
plainly risible. The freak has
occasioned considerable comment in
the neighborhood.-Er.

families were more or less injured,
and several blown down entirely or

II was claimed by the advocates Of the
measure appropria,ing Sc, 3as.0O To
meet this deficiency, that il Was just,
proper and right, and that the expen-
ses e all very Legitimate. There
were those who asserted that the

people had q right TO demand the

out q bill for wine &c, used in the en-.

Parties who pass up and down over
the road between here and Crested
Butte say that it is in deplorable
condition, but could be opened up for
travel II some men were put on to
shovel out some of the worst places
1t appears that Wood & Co., the for
wa:ding firm are hauling all of the
freight up to the toll house, half way
and there storing it, and at the same
time reported 20 be making no effort
to get the road open any farther. We
understand ii.i.. NJ. s u,:! is wiling
and ready to do all he can towards
opening the road, and if these other
parties do not make some effort, some
body must take hold and attend to
this matter. This camp is too active
to have the wheels of progress entirely
blocked. At present it effects the
mail and passenger travel, as we'll

Il SUFFERER.
IRWIN, Arll ~, 1881

Nh. EDITOR: Some people when
they get what is termed "soft
thing" have no modcsty in making
the most of it. The rights and con-
venlence of an entire community are
unscrupulously sacrificed. Here is
the road between this camp and Cres-
ted Butte utterly closed by snow, and
likely to remain thus for an indefinite
period, and for DO reason in the world
unless it be to put money into the
pockets of one or two men who are
just now in the freighting business.
1t evinces considerable shrewdness on
the part of the freighters in working
their little game just as they do, and
here is the way they do 1t: At Crest
ed Butte one would suppose that the
freight is forwarded without break
to this camp, for there is no collec-
ton of goods there. it is all taken to
the toll gate and there left. A few
rea are kept shoveling a road, to
make show of getting it open, and
in the mean time all the freight is COL
Iected at the before mentioned termi-
nus. Competition is cut off, freights
are advanced and, bye and bye, when
the sun shall have cleared the snow
out, ali this freight will come forward
at an advanced rate, and those gem
tlemen will have reaped their little
harvest. Now this Is all well enough
where it Inconvenience one or half
dozen men, but when it comes to dis
tressing an entire community it is not
thing to be applauded. And how
it is men can have toll road in this
country for which they collect large
revenue most Of the year, and for two
months leave it closed and impossible
IS 4 mystery to me. 1t is all we'll
enough to pocket the profits, when it
costs nothing to keep the road in re-
pair. Now, what If the county COM
n,Jss'oners gets indignant and tells
these men that they forfeit the right
to the profits when they fail or refuse
to keep the road open. In the east,
We think, toll road forteits its ights
when it allows it to be closed over 80
days. A SUFFERER.

Here IS something TO change III.

Here is something to change the
monotony Of everyday life. Mr.. v. A.
Wilder, who is we'll known to all oi
you, will deliver a lecture on Sunday
evening in the Presbyterian church,
the subject of which will be. "The
Ultimate Of the Republic. The
admittance will only be twenty-five
cents, and the proceeds to be placed
in bank to Be used by a benevolent
association that may be formed this
summer, tor the purpose Of assisting
sick or injured miners. We trust
everybody will turn out and give Mr..
Wilder good house, as the subject is
one that he has given much thought
to, and is one that will interest every
body, and certainly the object is a
worthy one.

In view OF the fact that the School
fund is small and for the most part
unpaid, providing for no public school
Captain Shurtleff has started a sub
scription for three months school,
commencing May 1st and ending
July 31st, at which time there will
probably be school funds on hand to
continue the school. We trust every
body will take an interest in this mat
ter and subscribe all they can, for
there is nothing that speaks so we'll of
a community as to have a good
school. 1t is an lnducement fox men
who are interested here to bring their

Gunnison down all winter, came ur
last Monday for the summer.
John II. Leighton, one OF our old
time citizens called to see US TO-DAY,
on his return from spending the win
ter at his home in Glenburn Pennsyl-
varia.
Mr.. Y. A. Wilder spent few DAYS
in Crested Butte this week, his wife
having returned that far from her ex-
tended visit in Denver.
William Balden, who was in the
Windsor Hotel for long time and
who visited his home in Kansas short
time ago. has returned to camp again.
Farther Harney came up from Gun
nison yesterday 10 splice Johnny Nc
Donald aid Miss Christopher, and
will remain over Sunday 10 administer
mass.
Ed. Fields returned to camp on
Sunday after a winters visi. at Fond
du Lac Wisconsin. He says his father,
Mr.. B. +. Fields. will Be IN about six
weeks and proposes to work some of
their property in Elk Basin very ex-
,ensiyely with machinery this summer.
He has stocked the Silver Queen
lode near Gothic for 81, 900, 900, which
will also be extensively worked. Mrs.
Field is in Gunnison. and wilt be up
in camp in a short time, while Miss
Ella is visiting friends in Kansas City
for a few weeks before she returns
here for the summer. Mrs. Kelsey
has gone to Stockton, California.

of the mountain, and also a shaft up

Of the modntain, and also a shaft up
the side Of the mountain which is in
tended to connect with the .unnel.
When the work was stopped in the
shaft it was in good paying ore, but
none to speak OF was taken o.t, SO
that when the tunnel is driven far
enough to cut the shaft they will be
able to work both ways and from the
amount of ore in sight it will prove
to be bonanza. The tunnel that is
now being driven when under the apex
of the mountain will cut the vein at
depth of about 1890 feet, which We
consider pretty good depth for the
amount Of work done. MIR. Field is
one of the pioneer settlers in Ruby
camp, and we do not know anyone
that is more deserving of success than
he. 1t is through his instrumental,ty
that these St. Louis capitalists have
got into this company, and we under
stand that they propose to work the
property on purely legitimate basis,
for which purpose the company was
organized. Mr.. Chas. Bobb, the sec
retary and treasurer, will have charge
ofthe property. Mr.. Field propose,
to devote his time and energies to his
property IN and around Irwin, OF
which he has some very promising
claims.
