ANACONDA, August 1S.-ICorrespondence
Of the Miner 1.-The event OF the wees was
the social given by the ladies OF st. Marks
Guild on Tuesday evening at Evans Hall.
Il brought together hundredso OF people who
danced and ate for the good OF the cause.
The fair attendants ar the different tables
did noble work in drawing the throng there,
and dispensed ice cream and cake, likewise
sandwiches and coffee in q charming man
ner.
Our town was almost deserted on last
Sunday. Numbers drove to the lakes, and
q party OF explorers consisting OF Messrs.
Parr, Gould, Bird, Copinus, Cohen, Brook,
Keinkle, King and Winterhalter, Mesdames
Wolfe, Mills and Trisberger, Misses Irvine,
Cannovan, Cohen, and the Misses Lingo
started at the break OF day to Iron Cave,
located, it is said, about seven miles from
town. The party was full of hope and was
prepared to pass the day quietly and not
SPOIL THE PLEASURE
by tedious drive to the mountains.
Everyone knew just where tie cave was.
It was only short drive, and they went,
and still they went, and they kept going,
and when only short distance from the
fiourishing and busy city OF Cable they
concluded to turn back and camp at Silver
lake. They were cordially greeted and well
coined into camp at Arastra lake, where
F. W. Blackford and his surveying party
entertained them most royalty. Since
their return the question, where is the
cave? has been pr stty thoroughly debated
upon, every known spot has been sug-
gested-Blue Eyed Nellie, Mt. Haggin, Lost
creek and SpOoney canyon. However, the
party are determined to find the cave, and
will secure guide and wagon load OF pro-
visions and firearms, and will proceed
there on horseback in the uear future.
WILL WED ENGINEERS.
The ladies, married and single, who were
SO magnifcently entertained by the survey
ing party for several days at Arastra lake,
have all decided to wed engineers, and those
already welded will forsake their present
liege lords and pass the balance of their
days in the sylvan retreats of the Rockies,
where they can smile at society and fashion
and, above all, household cares and lead a
free and easy existence forever and ever.
70 this Col. Estes solemnly says, Amen,
J here still continues to be a dearth of un-
engaged young ladies in our town. The
boys are disc1nsolate, but are determined
to live life of single blessedness and grow
cynical rather than leave Anaconda in
search OF life companion. So the follow
ing plan has been suggested, and list
handed me, (Which is only part OF our

ACHING FOR A SENSATION.
Everyone has become SO painfully
roper and every thing 80 stupid here
hat we would actually welcome almost
ny kind OF a sensation, for instance like
he one your terrible "Tom" predicts for
lelsna society. It is rather unkind of
i'm to keep every one on the ragged edge of
lspense, but being Tom he can dare to
ak in that way, otherwise if he was, as
