HAMILTON NOTES.


The present weather is great draw
back TO mining operations in this sec
ton. The Sweetwater Company is
prevented from hauling ore to their
mill owing to the bad condition ofthe
roads.
Court has adjourned and Hamilton
has again settled down to its usual
go-as-you-please style. Owing 10 the
fact that no %juries were called the
present term, our citizens did not get
as good a s'benetit" as usual.
Supt. Paul has returned from San
Francisco, having purchased all the
requisite machinery for the Smoky
mill. The mill will BIO started up
about the 1st of June, and we expect
a prosperous summers run.
An amicable agreement has, LEARN,
been made between the White Pine
Water Company and the Sweetwater
Company, by which the latter will
get all the water they need for milling
purposes.
G. NJ. Thackston has been laid up
with a sprained ankle for the past two
WINS Ddb Will NC Oi his pms again
shortly.
Our two business houses-Mathew-
son Bros. and James Reilly-seem to
be doing a nonrishing business. They
are active business men, and always
keep on hand a full stock OF every
thing.
The late heavy snow-storms have
to a great extent given Hamilton the
"go-by." More snow has fallen on
all sides of us this week than has
come to our share. This l note as
something unusual.
James Reilly will soon commence
to erect an addition 10 his dwelling
house. This is probably made neces-
sary by his increasing family. 1t
also shows that 'sJeems' has faith in
the old town yet.
County Clerk Campton has Installed
John Mckernan as his deputy, and
taken a situation as book keeper for
Mathewson Bros. These fellows who
before election tell the "dear people,
they will serve them faithfully and
devot5 their time to the public inter
~ tAaiEI AAtii III WY SOOh al
ter they get into office.
The bondsmen are elated overJudge
Rivesi decision, and our County Dads
are correspondIngly depressed. II
isn't considered manly to "hit a fel-
low when he's down." but the stu
penduous ignorance, or carelessness,
or both, Of these guardians ofthe peo-
pies interests, deserve rebuke. and
they got II square '.in the neck.n II
it teaches them some little wisdom in
the future, non will regret the sever
ity of the blow, unless it be them
selves.
The odd Fellows here gave n aleas-
ant party on the night Of the 18th ult.
There was quite a large attendance,
among which were quite n number Of
Cherry Checkers. Everything passed
of pleasantly. This has been our
first bali since January lst-the ill
fated night poor George MeConkey
was killed. There were 90 gentlemen,
and 30 ladies present, and 30 tickets
we're sold at 81 each. Mr.. Field fur
nished the music, which for an ANA
teur, was good.
The maddest men i'm White Pine
county were our Commissioners,
when they were hauled up before
Judge Bush, on the complaint OF p.
NJ. Ellison, for malfeasance in office
in falling to count the county moneys
at the times directed by law. They
we're held to answer before the Grand
Jury, which will probably be called
on the reassembling of Court, July
30th. Z. NJ. was only a cats-paw for
Sadler to vent his spleen on the Com
missioners for having brought suit
against the bondsmen. Our best cit
izens do not uphold this mode of per
secution against the Board. They
look upon it Is spitefnl, and not to the
