TIE bonding of the King Of the
West mine BY Messrs. Haggin 4
Tevis, and its very probable sale to
those parties before another month
is but the first of q number OF
purchases of Smoky property that
will be contaminated during the
winter. The fine showing made by
several of the mines of that dis
trict during the past summer has
attracted the attention of many
persons who are seeking mining
investments, and next year the
working of several mines in Smoky
will be commenced on an extensive
scale. During the present week
another sale was effccted-that of
the MOllie Bawn mine, which lies
between the Silver Star and Carrie
Leonard properties. The purchasers
are ]. NJ. Lamb, J. H. Huntoon, A.
L. Richardson and other gentlemen
of Boise City, and it is their pur-
pose to work the mine in system
attic manner. The Mollie Bawn
was bonded some time ago to Dow
Newman, of this place, who, during
the last summer, did a great deal
of work developing the property,
which is owned by J. A. McPhad-
den and others. In addition to
this sale another is on the tapis
and will probably be consummated
in another week. Wood River
mines are to-day receiving more at
tention than ever before, both in
the east and England, while mining
properties of the adjoining districts
are not being overlooked. One
party from New York city, and an
other representing number Of
English capitalists are expected to
arrive in Ketchum very shortly for
the purpose of examining mining
with the view of purchas-
ing.
sAWTOOTH MINES.
The Bidwell- Beaver mine is be-
ing worked by fourteen men, who
will continue under employment
during the winter. The new hoist
ing works are completed and an in
cline shaft is being sunk. Super
intendent Vernum is kept busily
supervising the work,
and proposes to have the property
in fine working shape on the re-
sumption of active work in the
spring.
The Silver King mine will keep
ten men at work during the winter.
This property has given an excel
lent account of itself during the
past season, having paid all ex-
penses and a dividend to its Phila-
delphia owners. Superintendent
McHenry left for his eastern home
some time ago, but proposes to re-
turn early in the spring and resume
work on a more extensive scale
than ever.
MINING NOTES.
The Peek In mine, at the head of
Ross valley, about six miles from
Atlanta, will be worked this winter
with a force of five or six men.
John Tillman, locator and part
owner, states that the developments
last summer were 50 encouraging
as to induce the company to invest
heavily in opening up the property.
The ledge is 60 to 100 feet between
walls, and assays high, but is very
refractory, as it carries large per
cent of iron and sulphur. How
ever, the rock becomes freer as
depth is attained.

from the Matte mine, weighing

The second anniversary ball of
Neptune Hose Company No. l was
given last night at Metropolitan
Hall and was, as anticipated, not
alone a successful, but very en-
ioyable event. The fire laddies
made a fine appearance in their
new uniforms, which consisted of
dark blue shirts with q red figure
81" on the breast, caps of the
same color with silver leaf scroll
surrounding a figure a." black
leather belts, black silk neck-tie
and black trowsers. The attend
ance was large and the disposition
shown by the residents to encour-
age the members of the company
to keep up their organization is
very gratifying. The music fur
nished for the occasion was excel
lent, both in execution and selec-
ton, and as the enhancing strains
of a favorite waltz h0ated lightly
through the spacious hall it seemed
to inspire the devotees of Terp-
sichore as in graceful motion they
glided to and fro over the floor of
the crowded hall. There were also
a number of parties present from
Bellevue and other places on the
river and one and all were highly
pleased with the success attending
the nights enjoyment. During in.
Permission supper was served at

done to the midnight feast provided
by the genial host and hostess OF
that well-known house. Dancing
was continued until late in the
morning hours. and when at last
the order to stake up" was given

dancers that the pleasures of the
night we're over, there was a tired
but happy crowd that donned their

Why do we Have Eggs ut

Easter is observed among all Christ
ian people rs the anniversary If the
great event OF the. resurrection of
Christ, lie Was dead, but returned to
life. Ii IS to all appearance dead, but
We know that if placed under proper

it. The use OF eggs ut Easter was
adopted from an usage older than our
era. 1t was the custom in very early
times to celebrate the return of Spring
making presents Of eggs.
why does not Easter always fall
upon a fixed day. Christmas is al
ways on December 25lh, why should
not Easter be fixed with equal certain
tyr" Easter must always be on Sun
day. 1t is not a particular date that
is observed, but a particular Sunday.
How to. decide upon the Sunday, gave
the very early churches much trouble
and there were differences on that ac-
count, but the matter was settled at "a
council held at Nice, in the year 325
The rule WAS adopted that: Easter
day is always tbs first Sunday after
the full moon, which happens upon or
next after March 2lst. and if the full
moon happens on Il Sunday, Easter day
is the next Sunday after. THIS gives
Easter day Il wide range of dates, as it
may occur on any Sunday from March
