The Mines.

Arrivals from the Little Rockies are
Of almost daily occurrence. In most in
stances they confirm previous reports as
to the existence OF gold in paying guam
titles in hat section. On the other hand
there are some who have been un-
able to secure claims in the gulches
already opened up, and not being dis
posed to prospect for themselves, do
not give the diggings a very good name.
All are agreed that the great drawback
to profitable mining is the present
scarcity Of water, but with the approach
OF spring, when the supply will be am
ply sufficient, we shall hear reports by
the side Of which all previous ones will
sink into insignificance. The Bear Paw
mountains will be thoroughly prospect
cd this fall for placers and quartz, and
next spring will see a great deal of work
done, Of the most substantial character.
1t was to be expected that these OPP
posing reports would find circulation,
but how is it possible for anyone not do
any work or but imperfectly prospecting
to give a reliable report as to the value
Of the discovery? We still have great
faith in the Little Rockies and the Bear
Paw mines.

Notice,

TO the Citizens Of Cboteau County:
The delegates to the Democratic County Convention
having chosen me their candidate for The office If
sheriH, it appears to me that, having accepted the
nomination, it would not be becoming in me as a
member of the party to make my position the sub
iect of bargain and sale. Neither do l think it pos
sible that any person or clique can compel me to
stepdown witho t my free will and consent. I have
offered no compromise, have signed no a0iHtdadaoaL, and
I~d6 not propose to Withdraw, any rnmors to the
contrary notwithstanding
The case stands thus: I have the nomination on
the one hand, AMI on the other a few persons who
would like TO run the political machine have made a
nomination on their own account. | leave it to the
voters to Judge the right of the matter, and would
say that the on'y cireum~tance that will c CSC my
candidacy will be the vo &c of the people in Novem-

a New Departure,

The dedicatory exercises of the st,
Vincent de Paul Hospital yesterday de.
servcdly called out great coneourse of
our best people to the charming Beaudry
Park. The transfer of this admirable
institution marks great step in the
growth of Los Angeles. For years and
years, in an orange grove OF the City of
the Angels, stood modest but tasteful
building in whose walls the sick and
helpless found haven of rest. The ad-
vent OF tho railway and the building of
the new depot OF the Southern Pacific
at once brought this peaceful retreat
into the hurly-burly of city, which has
grown with greater rapidity than any
other on the American continent since
Kansas City made its phenomenal spurt
of seven hundred per cent. increase, in
the decade between 1850 and 1870; and
which, since the taking Of the Unitsd
States census in 1850, has even sur.
passed that splendid record The clangor
of passing trains and the noises of a
large and rapidly increasing commerce
perforce compels the gentle sisters to HE
them to more secluded quarters. Their
departure forms a new era in the city's
progress, just as their selection
OF the Beaudry Park distinctly marks
another. The hill lands are settling
up with wonderful rapidity. 1t will not
