probably feel proud to read about ''the knot
hole brigade"

Division Uniform Rank of the Knights of
Pythias is advertised to take place at the

News reaching us from the Eureka-Tintic
district indicates great activity in the mining
business, result probably of the recent
notoriety given to the locality by the great
mining suit of the "Beck" and Eureka COM
panies. We learn that last week two we'll
known gentlemen of this city acquired a
half-interest in one of, if not the most, val
liable properties in that now historical
camp. The gentlemen referred to are rustl-
ers, and we predict benefit to the region
by the addition of their enterprise.
