ARGENTA ACMITES.
Mines, Personals, and Incialentals

Not few Dillonites were in town the
past week.
J.. Geary and +. Wolf were down from
Cannon's mill Monday.
Henry Burfiend and p. ]. Kelly, were in
town Monday to see the "boom."
Al. Russell has returned after a year,
absence, and says Argenta is the best place
after all.
C.E. Robbins freight teams make tri.
weekly trips, hauling for the Tuscarora
company.
]. p. Fletcher was in town Sunday.
"Fle.ch" does not express his usual poli,i.
cal enthusiasm.
We understand the Mau!din mining prop.
erty is not for sale, as one of our ,noneyed
men failed to induce N. even to set price
on it.
Large bodies Of rich ore still continue to
be found in the Golden Era, promising a
bright future for the owners, French and
Laughlin.
Geo. f. TarbeIl spen, Sunday in town
and the boys, sadder but wiser, think it
would have beer better for them had he
stayed away.
Prot. Muller has returned from Denver.
COL, where he has been purchasing two
water.jackets and other necessary machin.
cry for the s,nelter.
There was little circus Sunday, caused
by a "bucking cayuse" throwing his rider
and escaping to the flats below town where
he enjoyed a race for an hour or two.
The latest sensation Is man with blood
In his eye, shotgun in hand, in pursuit Of
an ascending creditor, who il "Aeeing
from the wrath to come" an the "hurri.
cane deck" Of white mule.
Owing to the visit Of mink to Mark
Rray's hen.coop, he is now minus sixteen
Plymouth. Rocks, and every tine the al:
fair is referred to, Marks language is more
forcible than elegant.
Very little interest Is manifested in poll.
tics presumably because we have no can.
didates in the field, for certainly the smiling
hand.shaking candidate infuses life and
animation into community.
The repairs on the Tuscaror. smelter
still continue to advance rapidly under the
supervision Of the able mechanic, VIM.
O'Connor, who expects to have every.
thing in readiness by the time the machin-
cry arrives.
AT the Tuscarora mine they have com.

countered large body Of fine carbonate
which appears to have no wall. The ,un-
mel is now g feet in length, and all along
exposes black carbonate and crvstallized
lead. The mine will soon be in shape to
put on large force Of men.
A neat Enclosure has been placed around |
the grave Of Phil NJ. Brown, who died |
alone in his cabin over year ago. Mrs.
French has also had neat fence placed |
around her burial lot, and raised beautiful
monument to her dead, which is some
thing should be, done by all who have
friends buried hereabouts. There are
several graves on the fiat and hills near
town, that are unadorned by anything but
gopher holes and prickly pears. Be it said
to the shame Of those who SO neglect their
dead.
The Rena Co. have cut the vein at the |
100 it. level and are now taking out ore |
from three foot vein. This proves the !
theory advanced by miner Of experience,
two or three years ago, that when the |
mines were worked to any great depth,
they would prove valuable. When A. {.
Witter and VIM. Dudly came here from
Butte and commenced mining at the
Springs, little over two years ago, min.
ing in this camp was done on top of the
ground until it became "unhandy," and
then work was commenced in new place.
When Witter started the Dexter shaft, he
told an old resident Of Argenta, that they
would sink it at least 100 feet. What"
said the o. r.,"you will have to burn can.

more mining than any man in camp, and
