sixteen shots each in rapid succession, with

Owing to the light fall of snow in the
mountains during this winter, and the lit
tie that-still remains, farmers are discuss
ing the water question quite seriously. All
of them contemplate sowing larger crop
than in any previous year.
There is a matter forming topic of con-
yersation among the ranchmen, of which
we regret to speak. The facts, as we learn
them, are as follows: Mr.. w. Fl. Lathm
noticed one of his yearling cattle going by
his ranch with Mr.. Stout's herd, on which
Mr.. Stout's brand had but recently been
placed and the ears still having the fresh
blood dry upon them. The animal had been
a pet calf, and bore the old brand of Mr..
Lathim. Mr.. Stout's attention was called
to the matter, in the presence of several
neighbors, and he was asked to explain.
lnlS ne dlu Dy dlscla1mlnS any knowledge
of the affair, and said it was done by some
of his enemies who had made an imitation
of his brand. The same brand was placed
on a 2-year-old maverick, last November,
that had been reported as belonging to the
county by those who knew the animal
All the boys" employed at the char
coal ovens were discharged last Saturday,
because they informed the company they
would not leave Waggoner's hotel and
board with Jacob Udech, as the company
desired them. They were paid off Monday
night and nearly all of them left for Chicago
on Tuesday morning. In the meantime
Palmer's rot-gut played an important part
in making things lively among themselves
Twenty-Five cent ante" and free fights
with outsiders occupied their time Satur-
day night and Sunday. Calithumpian
serenaders were in order Monday. They
were a merry crew at all times, faithful
and honest in performing their work n
crew that all are really sorry to see
leave. The cause of their discharge we
will not question, it being matter of busi-
ness to their employers. Billy Ginter ex-
pressed their view of the situation in say
ing i've have all got the grand bounce, but

Titusviile Mines.

Mr.. ]. G.. Titus, who was in the city on
Thursday, informed us that the mines in
his district are beginning to be worked
with more than usual activity The
shutting down of some of the coal shafts
ut Coal Creek and Rockvale is causing
an influx of miners ut and around Ii
tusville, four families from the latter
place having located there during
the past week. These coal delivers are
searchers for precious metals as well as
"black diamonds and will prosecute work
with avidity. Mr.. Titus contemplatcs put
ting up mill at Black burn, on the Silver
Cliff branch, the Titusville railway station,
to reduce the ore produced in that mining
region. This ore does not run high-per-
haps $40 to SIS per ton--but there are
acres of it, and, when this mill shall have
been completed, Mr.. Titus thinks it may
be reduced for S. per ton, or even less than
that.
