Local INTELLIGENCE.

DAY COMPANY MINES Inc mines
owned by this company are all looking
very fine, and, to say the least, the show
nr in them bids bright future for the
company. The Jackrabbit, or Day, is at
present yielding some very rich ore, COW
cred with horn-silver, and assays from
$500 to 81, 700. This ore is taken from
the fourth level of the Day mine. The
Indications all tend to make the miners
belieye that the rich streak is leading to
chamber of rich ore and it is being
snnk upon and will be followed to it's
termination. The It'll and Sth levels are
in soft formation, with large punches of
ore through them. The ground on the
lower levels is favorable of opening an
ore chamber at any time. The Mendha,
at Highland, has improved wonderfully
of late. In the drift being run west, the
ore grows in extent. The drift is in vir.
gin soil, and the formation is in what
might be called lime sand. In this
sand large boulders of ore are taken out.
It seems to be nest of -boulders.
The miners have drifted into these boul-
ders quite distance. Great caution is
taken in working in this ground and
much timber is being used. Notwith-
standing there has been work going on
in this boulder ground for three weeks
there has been no idea formed as to its
extent. That remains to be solved. The
ledge in the opposite part of the mine is
yielding its allotted daily amount of ore
for shipment to the furnace, but it is not
so broad. The Hamburg, the companion
of the Mendha at Highland, is developing
well. Its ledge continues IL feet in
width, and carries its two feet of rich
ore, strong. 1t is the general opinion of
those who have visited these two mines
at Highland, that the Hamburg will
eventually prove much the better mine.
The Day Company's mines are all in fine
condition and it is to be hoped that they
will always look as prosperous as they do
at present.
STAR DISTINCT. S. Severance,
agent for the Central Pacific Railroad
Company, and w. J. Townshend, man
ager of the stage lines, came in from
Utah on Wednesday. They brought
with them some very handsome speci-
Z mems from the Kimple mine, of old Star
District, the property of A. J. Dupaix.
The mine is spoken highly Of by these
/ gentlemen. There is one narrow seam of
two inches that goes into the thousands.
At one place in the mine, where the
ledge is two feet in width, the ore goes
1 lSS ounces in silver and $40 in gold.
there is also another ledge in the mine,
from to 10 inches in width, that goes
254 ounces in silver and $50. IA in gold.
ALMOND TREES IN BLooM.-The al.
mond trees are in bloom on John Kier-
F mans ranch. The almond tree very
4 much resembles the peach tree, but the
\ blossoms are white instead of pink. Mr..
Herman expects to gather large crop Of
/ almonds this year as the trees are loaded
with blossoms. He says two years after
the planting the almond tree will bear
fruit. He has about fifty good healthy
almond trees growing on his place.
THERE was an increase in our popula.
ton on the night of the 29th. Mrs. A..
j. Blair gave birth to little girl, weigh
ing ten pounds. There is one great ad-
vantage in having children born on the
29th OF February, for you need only pre-
sent them with presents once in four
n years, and in hard times every little
N helps. The mother and child, and also
the daddy, are getting along nicely.
The owners of the mill at the lower
end of town are showing work ahead as
rapidly as possible. The weather has re-
tarded work greatly, but it is thought
the mill will be in readiness to start up
IN few days, and hereafter chloriders
Will be able to have their ore crushed at
home.
IN the Emergency Fund, we see by the
last issue of the "Irish World" that
the following parties of Ell Dorado have
contributed to the Fund, Frank Muir.
phy $40, John Kennedy S., Patrick
Mccarthy 50, James Cunningham $40,
John Craven $40, J. J. Manning 81.
