twelve tons of ore were extracted and
brought to the surface, the average being
over 5000 per ton. The development in
the mine is astonishing. Shipments of
ore the past ten days aggregate over 200
tons Thus far, only few teams have
been engaged in hauling but next week
several more large teams will be put to
work, and ore will be piled up at the fur
mace. In the mine everything is now in
such shape as to facilitate the stopping of
ore when extraction commences. Not
outstanding the ore that has been hauled
away lately large quantities yet remain
on the dumps. The furnace out at Bris-
tol will start up about the 10th, and the
supposition is tlatit will continue to run
ninety days.
This is the time when the festive bed
bug beginneth his depredations. Owing
to the cold weather during the past few
months he has been compelled to forego
his occupation, but now he cometh forth
after long rest eager for the fray, his eyes
bright with tiendishness while he grind
eth his long teeth together in glad anti
cipation of square meal.
The work of erecting the hosting
works on the Payday mine has been
carried on vigorously during the past
week. A building nearly sixty feet long
has been placed over the shaft and the
boiler and engine bed are in position
Everything will probably be in readiness
to resume sinking about the middle OF
the month.
We are to have school, and Sll0 has
been subscribed for that purpose. This
money, together with the receipts of a
ball to be given on or about the 18th
of the month, for the same purpose, will
probably be sufficient for maintenance
of school for three months.
A body of high grade carbonate ore,
four feet in width and of unknown length
and depth, was uncovered last Monday
in the Terror mine. Yves Williams and
John Craig have at last dropped on to
something of which they have every rea-
son to be proud.
The only mine in the northern part OF
Lincoln county, of any value or benefit
to the public, is located in Jackrabbit
District.
Mocking- birds are plentiful hereabouts;
several nests containing their eggs have
been found.
Jackrabbit District derived its name
from the early settlers, who had very
long ears, .r.
DIED OF HIS INJURIES. Joseph Vawn,
of Beaver, Utah. who has been engaged
in herding cattle at Sulphur, was recently
kicked in the groin by wild COW, and
died on Monday last from the effects
