snow fakes flutter all around u.s.
Deep the SNOWY mantle lies,
W infer'> Icy breath surrounds us,
Frosty winds and cherries skies:
And our hearts remember sadly,
sunny da,s 30 warm and fair,
When the fiower> boomed in splendor.
And sweet fragrance filed the air
And the cold seems much more bitter,
A We think Of summer da,s.
And the ic. pendant. glitter
Saucly. before our gaze
Aud We SIGH 10 think that Winter
Holds Us in his chilly hand.
Ana ihat warmth. blue skies and flowers
HaNe been swept from of our band
Aud we never think with gladne>..
That tho cold and frost surround.
Tho the ice kinc i, in power.
And hI> subjects rule the ground.
That beneath the snow, covering.

 J. .. Stephens has recently le. a con- tract to ru2 ioo-foot crosscut on his Gladstone mine tn Eureka district. The claim k on the same ledge as the Hillside, lying between that property and the Psrnell claim, owned by the Dillon brothers. The Gladstone is slcok- ing well, there being fine showing oi ore.
 Shipments from the Hillside this year have only aggregated So tons. owing to the difficulty in securing freight teams to transport 1t to the railroad. A contract for hauling 200 tons was let >ome time since, but only 50 tons were delivered, on account of bad roads, when the teams were pulled of. The mine, however, stlll main tsins it's reputation for producing good ore. Only about eight or ten men are at work at prese nt-sll work ing by contract.
 Mir. Johu E. Hart arrived Sunday from Flagstaff, where he h as been h.. the last six months. He says that mining in Yavapai is booming. A large amount of machinery is going into the mining camps.

Grand Jury Report on tho snerl.rs
 Office

So much has been said about the collection of poll taxes and licenses by the Sheriff, and insinuations of all kinds derogaiory to that official having been thrown out, both prior and suhse- queni to the meeting of the Grand Jury, that it is proper to state that sn expert was employed to investigate his books, and, acting on the result of his examination. the committee submitted not only a favorable bu, compliment ary report, which will he found below: To the Hon. Foreman of the Grand
 Jury of Yayapsi County:
 We. your committee on Sheriff's Office and County buildings, beg leave to report as follows:
 As authorized by the Grand Jury, ws have hired an expert and have made careful examination of the books in the sheriirs office. and we have found them to he correct in every particular. In regard to the collection oi licenses by the Sheriff, we believe that they are collected by him wherever practicable, and that none are allowed to escape payment of the same. We are indebt- sd to Sheriff o'Neill for his courtesy in showing us the books of his office and assisting us in every way possible in xamining his accounts.
 We have inspected the County Jail, and have eonversed at length with the prisoners and they all express them- selves as perfectly satisfied with their treatment, and have no cause for con- piaint whatever.
 We have inspected the Probate Judges office and find everything in good condition.
 We recommend:
 That an iron floor be placed in the vault of the County Recorders office. That the floor of the County Jail be repaired, and also shat the ceiling be in some way protected AS to make 1t safe place in which te confine prisoners. That thorough examination be made of the ceiling of the Court House and also of the foundation, and ot the jail yard wall, and if they are found to be in an unsafe condition that they be at once attended to.
 That the Sheriif's office be furnished with new safe or that the one at pres ent used by him be repaired so as to be a safe depository for the monies and papers of his office.
 That some provision be made for the safe keeping oi the records, books, papers, etc., belh of the Board of Stu pervisors and of the clerk of the County Court.
 That new carpet be placed in the Grand Jury room.
 That the TIoasufer's office be fur nished with burglar-prooi safe or vault, or in some way or other that his office be made a safe receptacle for the funds of tho county, so that he will not be compelled. as he is now, to place them in some bank for safe keeping.
 Respectfully, SIXTEEN Ross,
