HAMBURG. This old abandoned mine,
which las not been touched for years,
with the exception of having several
wears assessment work done on it, which
is located in Highland District, and was
purchased by the Day company for $3.50,
has come to the front. Two men, after
the purchase of this mine, were placed at
work prospecting, and in running drift
from the bottom of the mine, encountered
vein of ore nine feet in width. The
assays from this ore go as high as $3.50,
but we are of the opinion that the assays
were made from the best of the ore. The
ore vein is nine feet across-strong-and
the ore will average. it is thought, fully
$40 per ton. II work was only done on
number of the old abandoned claims
along the range between Phoebe and
Bristol, there would be number of val
liable mines opened up. If the pros
pectors would do more work and less
talk, their fond anticipations might be
realized.
OK last Saturday Bob Francis left for
Frisco. He has gone to Utah again for
the purpose of consulting with the ranch.
ers there and see if they will not join
with the ranchers of Lincoln county in
putting stop to this wholesale stock
stealing that has been going on. 1t is
the intention to have all the thieves and
their confederates arrested and prose-
cuted, including several officials. Officer
Bowen, deputy sheriff of Beaver County,
may possibly have trouble. 1t was he,
\ Bowen, who took the cattle from the
i thieves, and turned them over in butcher
8 James charge, and when asked about the
cattle, denied knowing where they were.
After he and James received a reward,
q they went and brought in the cattle from
where they were cached. The best way
to deal with cattle-thieves and their con-
federates, is to shoot them first and then
arrest them. 1t is the quickest easiest,
cheapest and most effectual.
HORSES SroLKS.-There has been con.
siderable stock recently stolen from the
ranchers in this county and driven into
Utah. The old Gillian, Savior, who has
been engaged in horse raising. few days
ago had his whole band of horses stolen
out near Spring Valley. The only horse
the old man had left was the one he was
4 riding He is now in search of the
q that Savior will be much loser by the
running off of his horses, for he is an ex-
cellent hand at the business himself. If
he does not recover his own horses, he
will get hold of some that belong to other
people, and will most likely charge good
interest for those he had stolen from him.
RAILROAD Pass. We learn by letter
received in Phoebe from Salt Lake City,
that the parties who purchased the little
railroad will place the roadbed in Condor
Canyon in good condition, and to such
effect an order has been issued. The
iron and ties will remain the whole length
OF the Canyon. This is done for the pur.
pose Of holding the right of way through
the Canyon, and is to be sold to a rail-
road corporation that intends running It's
line down through the Canyon. The
late purchasers of the narrow. gauge will
receive about four times as much for the
right of way through Condor Canyon as
the whole line cost them.
THE Tempest mine of Bristol District
has been relocated. This is one of the
best, if not the best, mines in the district
There are many hundred tons of fair
paying quality of ore in sight, and it was
the principal mine in the series formerly
owned by the Gilmer & Salisbury Com.
pany, but which has recently been
changed to the Iron.Silver Company.
Two men were sent to the mine for the
purpose of doing assessment work, but
instead of working on the Tempest, they
worked on the adjoining claim, known a!
the Red Cloud. On the Cd of January
old Uncle Abe Richard relocated it, ant
he has a perfect title.
IT Was GRUB He WANTED. -Brothe
Kelly, who is employed by the Nor
mons to assist at Phoebe in tearing up tn,
railroad, went into the boarding hous
run by the Mormons for the hands, ant
asked for his dinner. Being little late
the cook told him that he could not &c

hungry, was vexed at the delay, and ex
claimed, cts not prayers want in me
but grub" Kelly would make an excel
lent Mormon Bishop, as he possesse
the generous nature OF most of his coun
trymen, and loves all the famales. "
