Candelaria Notes.

The following items are from the
True FiSsore Of last Saturday:
The new smelter at Elna was started
up the other day, and worked well for
a while, but the lead well blew out
and will necessitate a stoppage until
new material can be obtained for re-
pairing it.
The hosting machinery at the
Mount Diablo mine is very much in
need of repairs. 70 give 1t ccm-
plete overhauling the mine will he
closed down for few days shortly
after the first of next month.
A testimonial party was rendered
Miss Addie Stowe at Columbus last
evening. The young lady has many
warm friends, both there and here, all
of whom will be grieved on her de-
parture from this vicinity for her home
in Bodie.
Operations have been resumed on
the Mount Potosi Consolidated prop.
erty. Indications point to something
of importance being done ON this mine.
A winze will probably be sunk to con.
meet with n tunnel to be run IN from u
point near the railroad.

The Aurora Fire.

Last Tuesday evening, about eight
o'clock, the residence of S. nj. Booker,
at Aurora, was discovered to be on
fire. Mr.. Booker was in Hawthorne
and the family had retired for the
night. The fire burned so rapidly that
it was with great difficulty that Mrs.
Booker and her daughter nude their
escape with a small portion of their
wardrobe. The house was situated too
far from the clstern for the engine to
be of any use, and it was only by SHOW
cling snow on The adjoining buildings
that they were kept from burning also.
The loss was partially covered by
insurance. The cause of the fire is
unknown.

Christmas Toys.

Van Alstiue has crowded his store
with Christmas goods. His toys, oina
ments, etc, make the children wild,
and the old folks often join in The
enthusiasm. If you have any money
go there and put it where it will do
the most good. If you have no money
don't go, for you will suffer too much
at having to leave empty handed. All
the goods are the latest Style and have
the newest Wrinkles. Take look and
satisfy Yourself.

A Sale In SyveetNvater.

1t is reported that a sale of the
Great Western mine, in Swee water,
has been effected. This will, if true,
make an interesting camp of Sweet
wafer, as it is, without question, one
of the richest districts in the mount
aims, and only needs the helping hand
of capital to give it prominent place
in the list of bullion producers.

Something About Warrants.

1t has always been the custom in
this county, and, in fact, all over the
State, for the Auditor to issue warrants
TO jurors upon the presentation Of the
Clerks certificate, and considerable
was the surprise of the members of the
Grand Jury on Thursday when County
Auditor Rice refused TO follow the
fashion. He pointed out the section
which prescribed his duties in such
cases, and the jurymen went without
their warrants until an agreed case
could be submitted to Judge Murphy.
The Court decided that under the act
of III the Clerk was authorized 20 issue
certificates and that in his opinion it
was the intention of the Legislature
that warrants should be issued
thereon.

An Ingenious Gopher Trap.

Governor Blasdell has lately been in
the agricultural regions, and while
there saw an Ingenious gopher Trap, or
ratheI, an ingenious method of taking
gophers. A gopher will always fill up
a break in his bur- ow, and the method
is simply TO dig until the hole is broken
then put two small Steel traps in the
hole on both sides of the opening.
The animal, as soon as he secs the
light, begins 10 repair the DANCE, and
no matter in which end of the burrow
he may be, will be taken in a trap
when he approaches the opening.
