but sure. The company has erected an
air compressor for the purpose of running
fast They bored to depth of AGO feet

good result. We have doctor here
now, and consequently death. j. Van
Hagen, brother Of Bentz and father
of Ed, died here lately, leaving a wife

Pahranagat Valley keep up the ancient
custom of having an assassination at reg
ular intervals Who is next to be
killed? ?"

CALICO DIsTRICT.- were shown a
letter received in town during the week
from Calico. The letter advised men
around this vicinity not to go there in
search of employment. 1t stated that
Calico had too much of a newspaper
boom, causing men to flock there from
Arizona, California and Nevada mining
camps, till the place is fearfully overrun
with idle men, who daily go from one
mine to another in search of employment,
and the writer stated that there were
from fifteen to thirty men daily at
the mine asking for work where he was
employed. The pay is at present SO. sc
per day, but it is expected that it will
soon be reduced to SO.
WE were surprised to see several Eagle
and Spring Valley people in town last
Sunday; but we have learned the cause O
their presence was occasioned by Bishop
Lee and others of Panaca who had gone
to those valleys for the purpose of gath
ering the tithing due from those people
to the Church. Members who will MOI
pay tithing to the Mormon Church, lik
the ungodly, when they die will descend
into flame of glory.
