Ready for Treat

a reward IS offered Tor any OLD
prophet who will dare to back his
judgement TO the extent of fifty
cents upon tomoirow's weather. All
the old cranks have crawled into
their holes and can't be found, but it
is to be presumed that spring will be
here after awhile.
Business has been quite lively
around Judge Goodloe's court the
past week. The unsettled state of
the weather supposed to be the
cause.
The health of the camp is much
improved at present.
Mr.. Herm's family have had the
measles but are all improving.
The superintendent of the Porphy
rite S & NJ. Co. is expected on to-
morrow's stage. A lot of the
new machinery this company in
tends adding to their plant has al.
ready arrived at Huntington and in 6
few weeks we may expect to see the
smelter running to its fullest ca
pacity
The Black Maria has about 60'
tons of ore out ready for treatment
The Black Hawk has large quan
tity on hand and the Transit is film;

different sections of the countr
Representatives of San Francis
company are expected in few day

All Mineral lacks to make hel t
largest silver producing camp
Idaho is more capital; and from t
I present outlook the needed capi
will be forthcoming. We do 1
envy the Seven Devils, our sis
camp, or take anything from |
that is justly hers; but we do exp'

e be no rivalry between Mineral a
the Seven Devils. The Devils fl

'e bio devils here but of a differ,
character.
It The steamer Norma will be loaC

chinery for Mineral and on ret'
