such things will do well here II the

Chloride thus far has been most for
tunate in her misfortunes in the shape
Of fires. In her two cases OF this kind
both CONGREGATIONS occurred in struc-
lures isolated so that no other property
WA endangered. II IL peculiar that In
both uf these instances the origin Of
the flames was only a matter Of the
most vague conjecture.
James Dalglish In whose favor
George Turner resigned his position AS
postmaster Of Chloride. has received
his appointment from Washington and
and now does business IN his own name.
No change could have been made
which would have been more satisfac-
tory to the public generally than this.

fifteen inch ore streak. assayed Satur.
day. gave returns of sS5.24. This
makes the Fairview a way up property.
Dunn and Love at a depth of ninety
feet IN the White Shield struck u rich
er streak Of ore than anything that the
mine has yet shown. The new ore Is
OF a character resembling that of
the Mountain Chief which adJoIns, and
Is undoubtedly rich. The White Shield
ore Is all high grade and the dump is Il
good sized one. The RANGE would

Last week a strike OF strange miner
al was made In the drift OF the St.
Cloud. The new ore is of a steel me.
talic appearance and ASSAYS thirty-six
ounces per ton IN silver. Frank Pitch
er thinks that the course of the drift
has taken them into the wall of the
ledge and that this mineral lies entire
ly outside Of the vein. 1t isn't bad
stuff anyhow.
Charley Ridgely is pounding away on
his Bromide claim south of tine Adj
rondack. He has opened the ledge at
various places along a length of several
hundred feet and found 1t solid and
impregnated with mineral along the
whole distance. At the bottom of a
twenty foot shaft both walls show
nicely and an excellent grade OF ore is
contained in the vein. The Bromide Is
q promising property.
Jacob Dimes Is the sole owner of the
old Shaw ranch having purchased the
interests Of Messrs. Beebe and Beeson
some time ago. This ranch is u valu-
able property, being capable of sup
