On the recommendation of the Post Office
Department Congress has allowed third
class post offices for rent, fuel and lights.
That is correct. The salaries are small and
post masters generally cannot afford to
throw in q house and lot with their services.
Mr.. John Perkins, of Dempsey Greek, who
was mentioned in the Probate land case last
week, says the statement is incorrect thai he
twice tore town the fence mentioned. He
says he threw it down but once, and had pre-
viously notified Mr.. Elliott not to build the
said fence. """-.@" "@7 ""= "=".
Will Arms lost his 200 yard foot race with
Thos. Ward at the Butte track Sunday by
several feet, and Ward got the $500 stakes.
There was considerable money up on the
side. Will thinks yet he is q pretty good
runner, but gives it up that he went against
a man too fast for him.
We acknowledge from Mr.. Russell B. Har-
rison, General Recorder of Marks and
Brands, a copy of the annual report of the
Board of Stock Commissioners, the Veter-
mary Surgeon and the Recorder of Marks
| and Brands for 1888. 1t contains matter of
much interest to stock men.
We learn since last weeks ISSUE that the
Dunlap party were not the first to make the
ascent of Mt. Powell this season. Carrie
| Williams, Frank Martz, George Kelley and
| Hart Humber went to the top of the noun
tain some three weeks ago while the Hum
Der party were camping on Dempsey Creek.
MI. Thos. Strang this week made a sample
assay from the Z feet 8 inches of ore cross-cut
in the Champion shaft on the Lily at $50 feet
and obtained As ozs. of silver and SO 80 in
/ gold. This is a splendid result of a sample
assay from so large a body Of ore. The vein
having been cut across to both walls, work
has been resumed in sinking the shaft to 200
feet.
The weather was abominable for several
days-rainy, raw and cold. 1t caught grass
cut in this valley for thousands of tons of
hay and the hearts of the ranchmen were on
the ground. But Tuesday brought fairer
weather and set the mowers going again.
| We had been in hopes the hay harvests
would be we'll up by Monday, but the rain
has prolonged the harvests.
S. E. Larabie has sold to j. T. Milroy, OF
New Chicago, q fine bay stallion, 3 years old,
! sired by Tom Sawyer, son of Magic, sire of
| Clemmie G, 2:15t, ETC.; dam by Dixie, by
| Moore's Highlander, second dam by Dren-
nan. This colt was bred in Kentucky and
imported by Mr.. Larabie at 2 yearling. He
took two premiums in Kentucky as wean-
ling, and one at q yearling.
During the thunder storm three weeks ago
to-day, when the three bolts struck near the
reservoir, it seemed as though bolts must
have fallen nearer than that, but although
| the SHOCK WAY ~ SIIOu6 Y ~ "a ;
| Peter Walton, it was not until several days
after it was discovered the bolt had struck
near che house. The leaves on one of the
lawn trees whitening. 1t was examined and
found to have been struck in the trunk, run
| ming thence to the roots, where it tore up the
earth considerably. The remarkable feature
| of it is in the bolt not having struck the top,
but entering the body Of the tree.
