and Herman Buchner at Potosi, Nov
8, 1865.
About fifty invited guests were pres
ent and enjoyed the evening, which was
spent in pleasant chat, delightful music
now and then adding to the pleasure.
A number of valuable presents were re-
ceived, Prof. c. r. Showalter making
the presentation address. Mr. BuchneI
responded in few we'll chosen words
assuring them that the occasion would
long be remembered.

Everything pleased my neighbor Jim,

But said wet weather suited him.
There's never too much rain for me,
And this Is something like,n said he.

He did not sigh
Because IL was dry,
But said If he could have his will
It would be his chief, supreme delight
To live where the sun ehone day and night
When winter came, with it's snow and ice,
He did not scold
Because 1t was cold,
But said, Now this is real nice,

And his body bent,
And his strength all spent,
And jim was very weak and old;

Democracy Celebrates.

Ahe democrats celebrated their vic
tony in this city Tuesday evening. The
local committee had spared neither time
nor pains to make the affair a grand
success. and to great degree realized
their anticipations. The city was
brilliantly illuminated and the stars and
stripes waved from large number of
business places. A huge torch light
procession formed at the City Hall
consisting of about rs calvalcade and
several floats with the little red school
house" and Mary's lamb (Which was so
exceedingly alive it had to be bound)
and many banners bearing political
jokes. Bobby in the Soup" "McKin-
ley do. =, The people have spoken"
"Cleveland 1892 .'Our Peck is Full
Measure" Peck and all the Schools,
Jersey Bull Run" and other similar
take-otfs. Oyer one hundred footmen
also took part in the parade, all of
which was led by the Montfort band on
foot with L. j. Davis, color bearer. and
the Lancaster band in band wagon
bringing up the rear. The procession
extending about three blocks, entered
Maple street at the Lancaster House
corner, proceeded TO the postoffice,
thence around the public square, back
to the Wright House. thea moth on
Madison street to Green's livery when
they took westerly direction returning
by way of the postoffice. After passing
over the ground twice they finally
brought up in front of the Court House
where w. j. Mccoy made few open
ing remarks in which he said that owing
to the very large crowd present their
meeting would be held in open air in
order that no one should be sighted.
he then introduced District Attorney
elect, Thos. l.. CIeary, of Platteville,
who spoke in congratulating terms of
the way they had spoken in Tuesdays
election, and especially for their vote on
the office to which he was elected. The
Sheriff-elect, NJ. V. BHrris, was pre-
sented to the people, and Mr.. Cleary
assured them that if any one got into
mischief during the next two years, he
and Mr.. Burris would be ready to take
care of them. Yells of applause were
sent up at the conclusion of his remarks,
and during the entire evening the
speakers were interrupted by outbursts
of enthusiasm. Hon. A. X. Bushnell
concluded with few brief remarks and
thanked the people for the honor be-
slowed upon him, in that they had
given him their suffrages in the halls of
Congress.
Enthusiasm ran high and was kept
up until the small houls
Besides the Montfort delegation,
Platteville was well represented, as well
as many othes surrounding places.
Excellent music was characteristic of
the occasion.

Murdered by Apaches.

A special to the Star from Globe, dated July 15, says: "A courier has just reached here bringing the news of finding the dead body of Edward Baker on the 14th instant, at Bakers ranch, in the Sierra Ancha mountains, about 40 miles north of this place. The house was robbed and some of his horses stolen. Baker was alone at his cabin at the time, and from evil dences obtained it is believed that the crime was committed by Apaches The neck and body had been badly gashed with an ax, and there was bullet wound through the Joins.

Their Natural Home.

Especial remark is made by visitors to this valley upon the superior class of the honey produced. Unlike the Eastern article, sickness never follows It's hearty consumption. Clear, deli cious, cheap and healthful, it is held in high esteem by all. There are sey- eral grades of honey produced, how ever. The best is that obtained by the bees from the flowers of the mes- quite, for which, when in bloom. they leave all other food. The mesquite honey Is pure and white in color. and or exquisite flavor. The bees also ex- tract sweetness from flowers that bloom in the spring, "from the blos- soms of the sage, the fruit and flowers of the cactus and a hundred other sources. Late in the season the main dependence is on the bloom of alfalfa. which gives to honey a darker color and stronger flavor than the earlier product possesses. It is all good, and the local society of bee men are tax. ing steps toward shipping it abroad in large quantities.

Repairing the Arid Wrong.

The Senate Appropriation commit tee seems to he trying to right the wrong due to arid land districts by the act of October 2, 1888.
 A recent Washington dispatch says {:
 The most important feature of the work in the Senate committee on this sundry civil appropriation bill is the elimination of the appropriation of $720,000 for irrigation survey. This provision was vigorously attacked by a number of western Senators, and they succeeded in defeating it in commit tee. Their opposition was based upon the ground that its effect would be to reserve from the public domain an amount of public land which would otherwise be open to settlement. The appropriation for topographic services by the geological survey, however, is increased from $200,O00 to $3O0,O0O. It is provided that half of this sum shall be expended west of the 10lst meridian, and so much of the act of October ?, 1888, as provides for the selection and location of reservoirs and canals on the public lands and reservation of irrigable lands is re- pealed. It is provided that reservoirs and canals heretofore located or select ed, shall remain segregated and re- served from entry or settlement until otherwise provided by law.

IThe Virginia Group.

BOWIE STATION, July l5, 1890,
 EDITOR EPITAPH As requested by you to give the news from outside mining camps, have given in this letter what is being done by Capt. John A. Duncan of Kansas City, and J. H. Tevis, in the Tevis mining dis trict, upon the Virginia Group of mines.
 This group of mines, consisting of the Virginia, State of Missouri, Silver Chief and State of Iowa mining claims, is situated near the northwest end of the Chiricahua mountains, upon the northeasterly slope of the range, in the Teyis mining district. The most di rect way to reach this property is from Bowie Station, upon the Southern Pa ciic railroad, about seven miles dis tant, over good wagon road reaching the reduction works, which are situ- ated in Tevis Canon. Here the com pany is erecting reduction works and connecting the mines, with the latest improved plant of the Huson wire rope tramway, extending a mile to the top of the mountain, with the main shaft and hoisting works of the Virginia mine. The ores from the different shafts upon the Virginia, Silver Chief and State of Missouri mines are car ried in cars which dump the ores into a large receiving ore bin near the main hoist upon the Virginia mine, from which the ore is through chutes trans ferred into buckets that deliver the ore at the reduction works, mile be- low This line or tramway crosses Lewis Canon at point nearly 200 feet from the bottom, but the engin- ger in charge has constructed it with great care and it is the shortest way for the men to reach the mine by sit ting in one of these buckets and riding to the hoist upon the mountains above. All the supplies for the mine are car ried in these buckets, which is a great saving in the expense of transporta ton. The company have at present two crushers and one ore separator and contemplate others very soon. The capacity of the present plant is from eighteen to twenty-four tons for every twentyfour hours. The build ings are nearly completed and the machinery is being set in place and 1t is intended by the superintendent in charge to start up the works on the 1st of August. The company has about forty men at work in the mines taking out ore, and the first of the month the number will be increased.
 The little town springing up around the reduction works and the company's warehouses has not been christened yet. but will be in the near future, when l hope to give you full particu- lars of the ore returns and profits de- rived from this method of treating ores. In haste,
 GILBERT.
