The ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.-FOr fully
an hour after the moon rose on this 10
cality, Saturday last, her face was nearly
all covered by the shadow of the earth,
aud what little was seen was crescent
shape. The sight from elevated localities
was a beautiful one. After the sun set
and before the moon became visible, the
western sky presented a soft dinused
golden and reddish hue, and with the
mellow light from the crescent moon, as
she rose above the eastern horizon in a
cloudless sky, made a beautiful scene
Afterwards the moon passed from the
the earth's shadow, and, grown round and
full again, shone out brightly. The
eclipse was only partially visible here,
though in countries east of us it was total

THE DEER CREEK CROSSING.
Another Bridge Required TO Make 1t
Practicable.

1IuCIlCaDIcs
The bridge thrown across the river
last spring at the mouth Of Deer Creek
is perfectly safe, but as the river is
cutting a new channel between it and
the bluff, a second bridge is neces-
sary. This is about to be made, as
work will be commenced tomorrow
morning. The Robertson Brothers
have given the lumber, the mining
companies of Deer Greek have con-
trihuted money and men, ana all the
residents Of Deer Creek will contrib
ute some labor. 1t is expected to
have the bridge completed in a few
days. Its length is, however, still un-
determined. The river having over
flowed the bottom, there is an expanse
OF water over two feet deep and 500
or 600 feet long to overcome. 1t is
not expected, however, that the new
bridge will be over 200 feet long,
and if that is its utmost length it
will be completed in a week.
For some days past it has been i'm
possible for teams to reach Deer Creek
from Wood River, and all travel to
and from Deer Creek has come by
way Of SMITHS Springs.

DEEDS FOR LEASE-HULDEIS.
They Will BE Ready for Issue by To-
Morrow NoOn-LOts Should be Secured
at (lnco


Marrow Noon-Lots Should be Secured
at Once.
Hon. John Haley will begin issuing
deeds to lot-holders in this city who
have leases from him, tomorrow, and
Saturday or Sunday will leave for
Boise, to bring out his family for the
summer. Mr.. HALEY says that he
will issue deeds, on demand, to every
lot-holder who can exhibit his lease,
or, in case Of transfers Of lots, to any
one who can produce a connected
title. All who can do so should there
fore apply for their deeds at once, and
have them recorded. Once spread on
the county records, titles will be safe,
BIT not till then.
There is, to be sure, no one here
who could expect to successfully con-
test title to any of the leased lots.
But, as there is nothing certain but
death and taxes, the advice OF the
TINES TO every lease holder is to get a
deed at once and have it copied into
the county records without delay. In
no other way can the property be con-
sadered safe from legal complications.

THE GALENA ROAD.
IL Is impossible for Teams. 1.-The Snow
Nearly all Gone.

Ay UVuCs
V. 5. Anderson came down from
the upper country last night, having
oeen as far as Galena. Up to Boul.
der Judge Anderson rode on his cart
but beyond Easley's he went on horse
back.
He says that the water is about as
nigh now as it ever will be, unless the
rain continues much longer. The snow
has disappeared from all but the high
est mountains, and there is therefore
very little of it left.
Eight men and two teams are work.
ing on the toll-road, and been at work
upon 1t for month past. The road
has no bottom, however, and is posi-.
lively impossible for teams. 1t will
remain in this condition for eight or
ten. days after it shall have ceased to
rain. 1t is therefore useless for
fre'ghters to start for the upper coun-
try for some time.
Judge Anderson says that, this year,
he will insist upon rigid collection
of tolls, as he cannot keep the road IN
good repair unless he gets a fair reye
nue. from it.
