On their return to the domestic heath,
Mrs. w. declared that it was shame
for man of family, like him, and a
pillar in Zion, to firt and carry on

Lib. Oslesby in church that day.
"Flirt, be blowed!' shoutedWhelcker.
"Don't you know, you crystalized

It's all over town. If you would

The River.


During few days past Wood river
has again been rising rapidly. The
weather has been very warm, and the
great masses of snow at the sources
are melting with unprecedented rapid
ity, sending down a torrent of water
which nothing in its course could
withstand. The scene at Croy Gulch
bridge will we'll repay visit. The
river shoots under the bridge like an
arrow from bow, and if it should
reach the stringers would certainly
send it down stream. The Deer Creek
bridge is in the same condition. No
immediate danger is apprchended ex-
cept from floating logs, of which there
are at present very few. 1t has been.
until the excessive high water, good
season for log and timber drives,
though most OF the lumber men are
waiting for the stream to subside be.
fore commencing their biggest drives.
The mills at HALEY are running stead
lily on logs brought to their booms
early in the season and what are being
daily hauled in on wagons.

OF Interest to LAWYERS.

About Is civil suits have been com.
menced in the District Court here
since the last term. For as extensive
and rich mining country as this, the
amount of litigation has been phe-
nomenally small. There has been but
one underground conflict and that did
not reach trial. Contests for surface
ground have been few and unmport-
ant. In no mining district of the
United States have there been SO
many applications fol patents of
claims with SO few adverses. The
people are, to the lawyers, alarmingly
and disgustingly peaceable.

The Catholic Bell.

10 THE EDITOR OF THE TINES: In
your issue of yesterday mention was
made of the large bell just arrived for
the Catholic Church, with therstate-
ment that the bell is the present of a
few members of the congregation.
This is not exactly SO. l suppose it
was an inference from the fact that
the bell bears the names of few la.
dies and gentlemen. But these are
not tho only donors; they are the rep.
resenratlves Of all the donors by whose
joint action the bell will be presented
to the honor of God in the ceremony
OF its dedication. In the Catholic
Church bell symbolizes the voice of
prayer and worship offered by the
whole people; and as a monument of
their piety, it is inscribed with the
names of a few, who stand vouchers
for the observance Of all the rest.
They head the list of contributors,an
invite the others to follow. Hence, in
the old ritual of the "blessing of
bell" the latter is treated as embodv.
ing the action of the faithful and
made the object of symbolical unc-
tons and exorcisms, somewhat like
those used in baptism.

Proposed Industrial, Mineral and Agri.
cultural Association.

Last year, with only few days
notice, several of the ranchmen and
amateur gardeners of Wood River
held horticultural exhibition of the
products Of the fields of the Wood
River Valley in the Haley Theater.
That Fair was certainly fattering to
the agricultural features of the Wood
River country. Among the exhibits
were twelve or thirteen lots of veyeta-
blcs, consisting of fully matured po-
tatoes, corn in the ear, watermelons,
muskmelons, also wheat, oats, timo-
thy and other tame grasses, all grown
in the Wood River Valley in the vicin-
ity of HALEY and Bellevue.
This year it has been thought best
for the interests of the whole people
of Alturas county to organize an In
dustr'al, Agricultural AMI Mineral AS
ISOLATION of AltuIas county, and
through such an organization more
forcib!y call the attention of outsiders
to the inherent value Of our county.
Our miners and ranchmen are very
closely allied; in fact, the two voca-
tons are often merged in the same
persons. Attention is also called to
the social features OF the proposed
organization. The ladies, by exhibit
ton of their floral products and handi-
craft, and their presence, will materi-
ally add to the charm, beauty and
utility OF the fair. An exhibition of
our large and rich varieties of ores of
the VARIOUS districts, the numerous
kinds of vegetables, grains, ETC., the
domestic products, and the varied
handiwork Of the ladies of Alturas
county will be surprise, qualification
lnd profit to our people. 1t is, there
fore, suggested that on Saturday, June
II, at O'Clock p. ~, the people of
The various agricultural and mining
districts of Alturas county meet at the
heater building, in HALEY, and there
md then organize an Industrial, Min
era. and Agricultural Association for
he exhibition of the products of Altu-
'ss county. Let one or more from
very section of tn ecounty be sure to
attend this meeting, so that every
district may be represented, and
make this a county institution in ev
Try respect.
The Importance of such an organ
cation to the business interests of
Alturas county will be of immense
'alue.
Al! the newspapers of Alturas coun-
y are respectfully requested to pub

A Land Office Business.

The U. S. Land Office in HALEY
commenced business July 16, 1888,
since which date filings and entris IS
under the various laws have been
made, as follows:
D. $50 acres
Timhar C,,t :: .27.6SO aces
Desert 80 A''.. ''............ 20. $50 acres
Lands soId '''''''............ 1883 acres
Making total Of 1,13S acres taken
for agricultural purposes. There have
been, besides, 43S town lots in Ketcb.
um filed upon, and IA lots sold.
Most OF the mineral entries and appli.
cations for patents of Wood River
mines were made at the Land Office in
Boise City before the organization of
this office, but since July 10th of last
year there have been made here fifty
mineral entries and sixty applications
for mining patents. This is an OK.
ceedingly good showing. The ensu-
ing year the acreage of agricultural
land taken will doubtless be greatly
In excess of that of last year, while
mineral entries ought to be doubled at

Vt take me sales OF bullion on board
of the cars here at S2S per ton, the
smelter is sustaining loss equal to the
difference between tho price necessa
rl!y paid, $33 So, and that received,
amounting to 1886 per ton. 1t is ev.
ldent, from this calculation, that the
smelter cannot afford to pay more
than twenty-five cents a unit for
the lead in the ores, unless it is worth
something to the smelters as a neces-
sary tuxing material with drier silver
ores, devoid of lead, and in that in
stance the dry ores unquestionahIy
have to bear the expense incurred by
the smelters in providing Auxing ma
terials for them. The general impress.
sion is that the mines producing drv
ores do not suffer in an emergency
like the present one, but the forego-
ing line of reasoning does not lead to
this conclusion.
The above portrays condition of
things at the famous carbonate camp,
which is anything but cheering.
Other lead producing camps are badly
hurt by the condition of the lead
market, but with the mines of Wood
River the effect Is practically unim-
portant. With the high average Of
our ores, our mines could market
their silver and keep their lead-smelt-
ing and separating at home if nee
essary-and still get more money out
Of their ores per ton than other places.

The Decline In Lead.

The Leadville Herald, in reviewing
the situation, says:
"The principal cause is the ruling
low price Of lead. With lead selling
in Now York al $3.50 to So. go, this
metal in the form of base bullion on
board of the cars here does not fetch
over $2S to $50 per ton. Selling at
such prices, smelters cannot pay over
2%3 to 20 cents per unit for the lead
In the ores they receive from the
mines, and few individual! owners or
companies producing high grade lead
ores will part with the product of their
mines for such prices, hence a lack of
lead ores, and the enforced closing
down OF number of furnaces. The
cost OF production and shipping to
New York ton Of Colorado lead, at
the present prices paid the mines, viz:
81 cents per unit, is as follows:

il is questionable whether It Is ever safe to

good deal of courage, presence ot mind and
physical strength to descend from third or
fourth story by these contriyances, even for
adults and in the majority OF cases we think
children would be afraid to trust to them unless
fremen were there to assist and encourage
them But even if all children were as bold
and nimblc as monkeys, it would still be inn
prudent to put too much reliance on fire.
escapes.
The question of indcstructible staircases is
of more importance. Wooden staircases in
asylums and similar buildings ought to be
rigidly prohibited, and no exception should be
allowed to this rule. If the staircases are OF
iron or other -inflammable material build
ing will have to burn very quickly to cut oft the
escape of the inmates. This rule should be
enforced, therefore, as a prime necessity,
though it is only one of several changes which
require to be made in all such buildings. To
allow an asylum to be fitted throughout with
highly inflammabe pine lumber is almost
criminal reckessness. To permit the dividing
walls to be so thin that fire can pass through
them almost as quickly as through paper, is as
bad. The mansard roof should be tabooed as a
regular death-trap; and the hanging of the
doors so as to open outward should be insisted
upon. And not until each and all of these
changes have been made can it be said with
truth that any building of the pattern of the
Brooklyn Orphan Asylum is safe, or fit to be
the habitation of several hundred children.
We hope Mr.. EStcrbrook realizes this, and that
he does not mean to stop short at providing
tre-escapes for such buildings. Certainly one
such awful lesson as that of the asylum fire
ought to be enough for any Inspector of
BuiluinpS
