pecting trip to be gone a week or ten
days.
c. II. Lougee has finished work for
the present on J. b. McPherson's claims
in the Cuchillo's, and has gone to Hills
bOrO for a few weeks.
NJ. L. Robinson, for some time in
charge. of the Occidental stamp mill,
has been superseded by Kean st.
Charles, and is consequently sojourning
in our midst.
L. c. Stickney is working two men,A.
j. Maxfeld and Chas. Russell, on his
clam in the Cuchillo's. He will sink
fifty feet and deeper if the lead shows
promising.
Burro riding seems to be a favorIte
past time among u rising generation,
and the gentle warbler of this sunny
cline knows but little of that peace
that passeth all understanding when
be makes his periodical call on the city
well.
AChinaman rejoicing in the signii-
cant title of"Oh Tomb has been weep
ing, lamenting and crashing his teeth
over his failure to procure what he
claims are due him as wages from a
neighboring ranchman. Ha Tom, thou
must keepee watchee Mclean man.
One of our merchants has got never
failing fount of Backus at which some
of the leading cornwall spirits are apt
at intervals to congregate, and happy
IS the man whose financial copditioni is
wrecked and whose alimentary canal
yearns for "a deep deep draught of the
good Rhine (rio) wine," should he
accidentally make a call on time.
An accident happened to a lady
equestrian the other evening which
fortunately was attended with no
serious consequences. While out rid
ing the horse ran away and succeeded
in leaving his fair burden in the neigh
borhood of Cloudman's new building
at a point where logs lay around so pro
fuse that it seems almost a miracle that
the lady escaped uninjured. Careless
LESS as usual was the cause. The lady
not thinking it worth while to put on
an appropriate saddle for a few min
utes ride, and knowing the horse to be
high spirited, took chances, and as is
ottimes the case in such circumstances
got left.
The repoFed strike of Hannaman x
Co. last week was visited the follow
ing day and found to be practically as
follows. The prospect is situated on
the next mountain north of the Black
Knife road and is opened by a shaft ap-
parently about ten feet deep in porphy-
rytic granite a little above the contact
and a drift of about, the same proper
tons dipping a little less than the angle
of the mountain and running under the
surface down hill. The contact had
been reached and some fine looking
quartz exposed. Mr.. Hannaman has
since informed us that on FIVE foot more
development. making in all twenty-five
feet, a body of mineral three feet thick
carrying considerable galena has been
uncovered. While not considering our
selves much of an expert we think that
the same results might have been at
tanned with less than half the amount
of work done and left the property in
much better shape.
Old Captain Squelcher who watches
with jealous care the welfare of oul
city. came into our office yesterday and
after approprlating two chairs and put
ting an elphantine quid into his mouth
expressed himself thusly: Say, hog;
are not the only nuisance we are suffer
ing with in our quiet burgh. There's q
lot of eternal mongrels Of the canine
specie running around loose that ought
to be taken care of, and for the life OF
me 1 can't see what people want tC
keep them for. We hear it mildly sug
gested that they ought to be useful fol
watching. Watching! he snorted. yes
they're good for watching, they'll
watch the pot you've cooked your din
ner in as righteously as a deacon viii
the proceeds of a church festival, ant
lust 90 outside the room for ten sec
onds and you'll find 'em watching foI
the best chance to dodge out with thu
swag. Yes. they're good for watching
Why, when l came into town the othe
day there was half a dozen watching TO
me and came around my bosses heels
barking as ifthey hadn't seen me for tW'
years and didn't want to see me again
Yes, said the old Captain, calminl
down aud soliloquizing. Seems curious
what fancies some folks have. You'll
see a big able-bodied man who doe
nothing but loaf around town iron
Sunday morning to Saturday night
that can afford to keep a dog with al
appetite that would shame a rhinos
ceros. And you see wimmin, (Go
