members of the Church OF Latter
Day Saints are firm believers in the
method of curing disease by the laying
on of hands" by some OF the officials of
the Mormon Chureh, who have been en-
dowed with this power by the Supreme
Ruler, and many are the remarkable cures
that have been performed in this manner,
if what we have been told by the breth-
rem are facts, and although we have al
ways entertained grave doubts as to the
truthfulness of these statements, having
never personally witnessed any of these
cures; but now we Danish those doubts
forever, for right here at our own doors
has been performed one of these extra
ordinary cures. The other day, out at
Spring Valley, there was little Indian
child taken down with a bad case of
measles, and Mr.. Millett, Bishop of the
Stake, who is very kind and tender
hearted man, resolved to cure the little
suffering pappoose. He proceeded to the
wicliup where the child was, and kneel-
ing down by its side, placing his hands
on the sick child and with his eyes cast
heaven.w wards, the good Bishop mumbled
something to his God. A miracle had
been performed. The magic touch of the
good Bishop had accomplished the cure,
through the aid of the Deity. Shortly
after Bishop Mllett removed his hands
from the child, the little babe passed
quietly to sleep-the sweet sleep of death.
Its spirit is now on the journey to the
Grand Campoody, where it will never
more be afflicted with measles, for the
good Bishop forever cured them. Now,
after the performance of this miracle,
who dare say that the Lord is not with
the Mormon Church and people.
FASHIONABLE WEDDING There was
quite fashionable wedding at Bristol
Thursday evening, and the parties of the
first and second parts were MIR. George
D. Haggerty, member of the firm of

Tucker, the daughter of Mr.. Tucker, a
prominent rancher at White River, Nye

his best for the occasion, bound the
couple together with matrimonial band,
and one of such strength that no man
can sunder. The wedding took place at
the residence of G.. r. Barton, there

as the young bride was stranger in the

it as private as possible. The perform
ance Of the ceremony being over the bride
and groom, accompanied by few friends.

cross their way,
As it is custom Of the public in gen.
eral to hand drivers unsealed letters to
take to neighboring places, or notes with
the corners torn off the envelope, be.
lieving that note or letter in this con-
dition can be taken by stage drivers, we
will refer all laboring under such impress
sion that this is wrong, as section 263,
relating to first-class matter reads, to
wit: ''The fact that the envelope of
matter declared to be first-class by ruling
26l is left unsealed, does not permit it
TO pass at less than first-class rates"
Drivers have no right to carry letters.
DAY MINE.-At the Day mine work
preparatory to putting in a new boiler is
going on. The new boiler is expected to
arrive from the terminus either to-day or
to morrow. 1t is to be of the locomotive
pattern. While in cutting out on the
tunnel level to make room for the new
boiler, thres.foot body of high grade
ore was encountered, but as to what ex-
tent it is, remains to be proven. During
the placing of the new boiler number
of the miners will be laid off until it is
placed in position. Nothing new of i'm
psrtance to report in the lower workings
Of the mine.
Coon SHowING.-Persons in from
Comet District give good report of the
East Redemption claim, Dry Lake, and
the claim owned by Ed Prudential &
Co. There has been considerable work
done on these claims the past two weeks,
and they have improved greatly. The
chances are that good mine will be
found in Comet District, but it will re-
qure work to do it. Prospectors cannot
lay under the shade Of a tree, for mines
are not found in this manner
FOR ARlZoNA.-On Sunday Il. Lyman

Of this county and Arizona with wagons
