UPPER PENAsCO.
Dec, 21st, 1888.

.
tiyities Of the season are under
way here the same as in other
sections less remote from railroads,
pOstofiices or other essential con
venien es, and even the matrimo-
NAL craze is assuming frightful pro-
portions. We have one girl on
this creek only, while we have
three restless and anxious widow.
ers, a dozen or more spoenev
youths. and so many cranky and
crabid old bachelors, and last but
not least, we have full-hedged
Dude. As a consequence our girl
is besieged on all sides, but she is
a trump, and it is very doubtful
about her being led to the hymen-
ial altar by any in the race.
Mr.. Frank Coe has purchased
the Miller place on the Penasco,
and we suppose he will leave us
and the beautiful home he recent
ly selected in the mountains near
here.
johnny Edwards has purchased
the Billy Matthews place, and ar
ranged for the building Of a com
modious mansion, and of course,
we suppose he will bring her back
when he returns from Texas in the
spring.
Mr.. johnson returned with his
family recently, and all are pleas
ed with the acquisition Of so ami
able and intelligent a lady in our
settlement.
There was a social gathering at
the residence of Mai. Curtis on the
24th at which all enjoyed them
selves and a general good time was
had.
AL Coe secured the only turkey
on the creek for a Christmas dinner
and your correspondent, happened
around accidentally, and his for
lorn and hungry ''fz" passed him
INTO the dining room, whence he
discovered the presence OF culli-
nary artist, q Ia mode in our settle
ment.
On Christmas night the people
from our settlements around, gath
cred at the residence of our very
popular and generous neighbor.
Elliot Keene, and with dancing.
music and good eating had a most
enjoyable time. The best of feel
ing prevailed, and the most amia-
bic and attentive hostess will long
be remembered by all who were
fortunate enough to sttend.
Our school and teacher are pro-
nounced success. The children
are decorus and punctual in at
tendance, and are making marked
progress.
Henry and Johnson have Just
erected q more cOmmodious build
ing, but whether it is for a bride
or big stock of groceries is ques-
tion that puzzels the brain of the
curious nation.
Our citizens are annoyed beyond
endurance andChristian patience by
Indians who prowl about here with
fraudulent and out of date passes
from Llewellyn, and it is earnestly
hoped the agent will keep his pets
closer to home.

SIR In reply to yours received
this morning, enquiring whether or
not if there will be session Of the
legislative assembly appointed un-
der the statutes, for the first Mon
dsy in January next, | have to in
form You that no appropriation thus
tar has been made by congress to
meet the expense OF the legislative
ASSEMBLY. In view Of this fact,
coupled with clause in Section
1886 OF the statutes at large, which
reads, 'No session Of the legisla-
turc OF a territory shall be held
until the appropriation Tor its ex-
pense has been made | should
say nothing would be gained by Il
meeting Of the members as Il lcgis-
lative capacity until an appropria.
ton to meet the expenses has first
been made. A strong effort will
no donbt be made &Iter the h3li-
days by Delegate Luna and others
to have congress make an appro-
pliation and authorize the legi,la-
ture to meet, probably in March.
Very truly,

gold with an arastra. Was that a
correct statementl"
No. We got q pounds out
of that . ton run, and since that |
have made another run on a half
ton only, and got S ounces ont of
it."
"Du you consider that fair
test of your mine p
" No, do not"
"Why1"

What is the width of the

have vot cut through it, but so far
as we have prospected, we find 80

"Do you think the entire ledge
is pay ore 2"

"Well, yes, l believe ! have

ELECTlNG SCHOOL AUTHORITIES.
A Lively Contest On in Mr.. Browns District
Quiet Elsewhere.

There is little manifestation of interest in the
result of the election of school commissioners,
which is to be held tomorrow, except in the
Sixth district. where there is a very spirited
contest between Austin H. Brown, who is a can.
didate for reelection, and A NJ Kuhn, a we'll
known German citizen, who represents the OPP
position to Mr. Browns course as member of the
school board. 1t is the first time for many years
that the district has shown any interest in the
election, and very heated canvass is being
made. Both candidates are Democrats, and no
question of politics is involved in the fight. The
course of Mr. Brown has been unsatisfactory to
many of his constituents, for the reason that he
is believed to be responsible for what is known
as'the ''oneman power in the school system,
and they are opposed to the frequent changes
in textbooks for which he has voted
Mr.. Kuhn's candidacy promises "econ-
omy and reform" in school management, and
the Germans are giving him a strong support
IL is stated that Mr.. Brown has offered to vote
for division of the district if reelected, but
the proposition has been received with no favor
by his opponents.
In the Fifth district Mr. J. J. Bingham. who
has been member of the school board for many
years, is a candidate for reelection, and there has
been no opposition to him. Yesterday. however,
there was some talk of bringing out DR..
Brennan against him
Clemens Vonnegut is candidate for re-elec-
ton in the Ninth district, and he has no oppo-
nent.
THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND voTING-PLACEs.

ton of White river and Washington street; east

west to White river. The voting-place will be

Mr., Frenzel objected to the appointment of
Elizabeth Hamilton as teacher of German in
the B branch, giving as his reason that she
was not qualified. Superintendent TarbeI
stated that she had been recommended for the
position of teacher of German in the Muncie
high-school by Prof. Emerich, the supervisor
of German, and that she had always been re-
garded as a capable teacher. Mr. Frenzel was
the only member of the board that voted for the
motion to reject her appointment. The entire
report was adopted, and the board adjourned.
