LETTER FROM ATLANTA.

albania, ALruhAs CouNTY, sep. 20, 1888
Ed. WoRID:-We have had fine
weather here the past month. which
still continues.
Everybody looks bright and there
seems to be a bloom of prosperity
throughout the district. Our mines
are doing well, as usual. Another
rich strike has been made in the At
lanta mine-fourth level. The COM
pany talks Of sinking 100 feet deeper
in Main shaft, which is now down to
the depth of 400 feet. A force of
twenty-five men are at work in the
Leonora mine. The machinery of the
coTpany's twenty-stamp mill is going
up. The Last Chance mine is work
ing forty men, and their stamp mill is
running constantly. The Buffalo COM
pany, which suspended operations
sometime ago, will soon sink $50 feet
from surface to connect with main
Shaft IN tunnel below. They are now
moving machinery for that purpose.
The carpenter work on the Tahoma
mill is nearly completed and the ma.
chinery is on the ground ready to be
put up. We will soon have six TWEEN
ty stamp mills running in this camp.
This looks like business. "Me thinks,
the day is not far distant when Allan
ia will surpass any other camp in the
Territory.
The salvation army is on the decline
here and rogue's army is on the in
crease. Several cases Of robbery the
past few weeks. The first victim was
one OF our store men, who woke up
one morning not long since and found
his wearing apparel scattered over the
yard-$300 gone. The next was that
OF four wood choppers, who were
camped about mile from town. On
waking up one morning they found
their clothes in the brush with peck
cts turned inside out-$46s gone. Next
was that of poor unfortunate who
lad to hold up his hands and was re-.
lieved of $43. Next was our deputy
sheriff, Hutchins, who woke up a few
mornings ago and found his pants on
the floor with pockets inside out and
S2lO and a gold watch and chain gone.
Last but not least was the robbing of
Henry Swanholm's safe, in his store
which was relieved of 1881 in cash.
Strange to say, no arrests have been
made for any of these robberies.
The Phrenologist has come and gone.
He had crowded houses for six success.
sive evenings. At his last meeting
there was vote by ballot, by the gen.
tlemen, to decide who was the hand
soonest girl i'll Atlanta. Miss Sarah
Furey proved to be the lucky one, and
took the prize.
We'had theatre in camp the last
three nights. The boys say it's a daisy.
Barnnm's what-is-it arrived in camp
few days ago, in the form of a
pugllist. Our citizens have some no.
ton of matching him in a prize fight
with John l.. sullivan. A description
of this pugilistic terror would, no
doubt, be interesting to your readers.
He is six feet four inches from the
bottom of his ttampers to the top OF
his Uranium, one foot thick and meas.
ures two yards around from pocket to
pocket. lop-sided, kinky-headed and
pigeon-toed, wears a No. Is boot and
No. 5 hat, one arm off from the con-
cusslon of blow he made at a mus
quito; but strange to say the insect
still lives. The boys here have made
up their minds that the next time he
talks fight they will haul off and let
