Tombstone Epitaph: The Bonanza
Mining Company is doing well with its
property. They have made connection
with two shafts at the 100 level, and
have commenced sinking in their lower
works. They are down about 200 feet
and have the ledge in contact between
slate and quartz. The vein is about six
feet wide, and consists of decomposed
quartz very rich in gold.
There are several good-looking mines
in the neighborhood. The Golden Eagle
with shaft 40 feet deep. has taken out
from four-foot vein nearly 5000.
Different companies claim this property,
and work has been stopped upon it for the
present. However, the claims upon the
property will soon be settled and it is
expected that this property will naturally
assist in bringing Harqua Hala to the
front.
The Golden Crown, another valuable
property, situated between the two pro.
perties above mentioned, is simply i'm
mense. A 75.foot crosscut at the 50-foot
level has been run, and no walls have
been found yet, The ore is low grade
but free milling. The facilities for mill.
ing are good.
The future of Harqua Hala is good.
The people are ever sanguine that boom
is coming, and they have reasonable
grounds for such expectations.

Under the heading of "People Who
Sponge" the Homer Index says: There
are more people who sponge from news
papers than any other class. When a
man comes into the world he receives
free "ad., and when he dies his wicked
ness is overlooked by the charitable edi-
tor. All during his life he receives ia.
vors from the newspaper, in one way or
another. If he is spoken well of, the
fiattering notice is received in silence.
II his acts are criticised, he talks of o
suit for damages. If he is a candidate
for local Office, he must be designated
as the only man in the county who is
qualified for the position; he desires ia.
vorable mention, and he desires it often
and it must be in the superlative every
time, or the editor is SLOUGH and is
"down on him." In fact, some men seem
to have an idea that newspaper is run
expressly to keep them before the public
and that, too, without money and with.
out price.

also took two coats from the car

thirty to forty members of the

The biggest fraud of the year is
Belmont's circus, advertised to be
here on the 4th, but failed, and its
promise to be here on the 5th was
likewise broken. There was some
disappointment oceasioned by its
not coming on the 4th, but our peo-
pie are drawing large doses of con.
ISOLATION from the fact that they did
not miss much. 1t is worthless
affair, genuine humbug, and every

refuse It the privilege. Money

coming. The Captains physical
condition was such that during the

back, and the journey which is
fatigueing to we'll person proved
almost uncomfortable to him. At the
depot in this city a very large crowd
was awaiting his arrival eager to
render any assistance in escorting
their loved neighbor and citizen to
his home. Though recovering from
the fatigue of travelling he is still
in critical condition, and the whole
community is imbued with a keen
desire and watchfulness for i'm
