A Marrow Escape.

J. H. Hepworth had narrow escape from
drowning last Monday afternoon. He was
at work on the dredge, and his duties re-
quired him to use the small Aat.bottomed
skiff, owned by the company. The current
in the river is now very swift and the water
is very high. The current caught the small
boat, and before Hepworth could jump out
onto the dredge, he was whirled out into the
center Of river and started down stream at a
rate of about seven miles an hour. 7. II.
Rae and J. A. Huntoon, who were on the
shore, saw what had happened, and grabbing
rope they ran to the railroad bridge, un-
der which Hepworth would have to pass.
They reached this point just as the boat
crashed broadside against one Of the spiles
that support the bridge. Hepworth had
presence Of mind enough to catch hold Of
the bridge timbers, and with the assistance
Of his friends climbed up onto the bridge.
One side OF the boat was crushed in when it
struck the bridge. A rope was attached to
the wreck and it was hauled to shore.

Poor Humanity!

The common lot is one Of sorrow say-at
least-the pessimists, they who look at the
worst side. Certainly what would otherwise
be bright existence, is often Swallowed by
some ailment that overhangs it like pail,
obscuring peTpetually the radience that else
would light the path. Such an ailment, and
very common one, is nervousness, or in
other words, weakness of the nervous sys-
tenn, condition only irremediable where in
efficient or improper means are taken to re-
lieve it. The concurrent experience Of ner-
vous people, who have perss,ently used Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is, that it conquors
entirely supersensitiveness of the nerves, as
well as diseases--so called-which are in
vited and sustained by their chronic weak
ness. As the nerves gain stamina from the
great tonic the trouble disappears. Use the
Bitters for malaria, rheumatism, biliousness,
and kidney troubles. 3.

The temperance work organized here sew
eral months ago is still progressing. We
have about seventy-6ve members, active and
honorary. Over las names have been en-
rolled on our pledge list. and as yet not one
tenth have been untrue to their pledge. The
plan Of the w. C. T. U. workers is to meet
monthly, or semi-monthly; the interest so
far, however, has been such that we have
held meetings every Thursday evening at
the Methodist Episcopal church. The peo-
pie all over the valley have attended re-.
markably well, and, notwithstanding the
disagreeable weather the past few weeks,
we have had large congregations. Each
evening there is literary programme pre-
pared. consisting of recitations, essays, Sc
lect reading. and debate, interspersed with
music and songs. Questions for miscella-
neous debate arc also given, some Of which
questions have excited considerable interest
and been very profitable. Among the many
questions discussed are the following: Why
did we sign the pledge? How much liquor
does the average drinker use in a day?
What kind of liquor is most injurious to the
mental powersl Why will men continue to
drink when they are convinced that it is To-
furious to them9
The ladies of the w. c. T. U. have es-
tablished public reading room for all who
wish to find = clean, comfortable place to
sit, get warm, and read during their leisure
hours. We have q small selection Of books,
papers, magazines, etc.. and expect to in
crease the number as soon as possible. The
Chautauqua Circle meets in the room each
Monday evening. and visitors are always
welcome. On Thursday evening. February
I3lh, the ladies expect to give literary and
musical entertainment, including a supper.

arranged and general good time is expect.

A strike In silver.

Murphy and DeShaw, who have a lease
of the Cliff House claim. in Silver City,
made quite valuable discovery in the mine
about two weeks ago. The Cliff House is
what was formerly known as the Pioneer
Tunnel, and is the property Of X. Heating
and others. 1t is located just this side Of
the DEVILS Gate. The boys are not telling
anybody exactly how rich strike they have
made. but they intend to have the rock
worked at Pollard's mill as soon as the
weather will permit. 1t will then probably
be ascertained how rich and how extensive
the strike is.

Last Monday and Tuesday the river was
booming and the water reached within
about two feet of the sills Of the road bridge
at the foot Of Main street. Two bents under
the bridge were washed away, but the struc-
ture was not otherwise damaged. Had the
river raised another foot it would have back
ed up onto the Italian ranches across the
river and done much damage. The water in
tina Gold Canyon creek washed away por-
ton Of the C. Il c. switch running to the
Rock Point mill and repairs had to be made
before the ore train could get to the mill
Monday morning. The river has fallen three
feet or more since Tuesday and there is no
more danger from the creek now.
