A complimentary ban, was given last
Saturday night IN the dining hall Of
the U. S.. Hotel in honor OF Miss Lilie
Arbuckle who left for her home, Los
Angeles, last Monday. The affair was
an occasion so far as enjoyment wis
concerned one to be remembered
The mountains were represented by
Mr. and Mrs. VIM Wright, Arthur
Wight, Arthur Gemenuel, j. d. A..
Smith and Miss Florehce York. Prof,
Smith With a bull fiddle reserve sup
piled the melody, TO the time Of which
"the longand short Of it'executed ina
manner to attract every eye, the poe
try, of motion. 10 tell who were
there it would be necessary to call the
roll OF the town. Miss Arcuckle
though her genial nature is missed
and has left a void in the hearts OF sew
eral Of our young men.
Prof. Jas. A. Jmith and f. w.
Becker are going to open a dancing
Acadamy. They secured last Monday
night sixteen subscribers. They In
tend to practise two nights each week
and as both gentlemen thoroughly un-
derstand the BUSINESS there is no
doubt but the venture win be d sue
cess.
Your correspondent visited both
the Longfellow and Metralf mines
last week. Marked Improvements
we're noted at both places. At the
Longfcllow an immense open cut is
well driven In to the mountain. The
object apart from taking ores en-
countered is to literally move the sur
face covering the spot where the
"cave in" occurred several years ago,
which had made it unsafe TO do under
ground work. Besides that a self
dumping skip has been placed an in
cline shaft $50 feet, 3S degreesl from
which the mine will be worked The
arrangement as excellent in that ores
will be taken aud raised to bins at top
of the shaft and waste will be carried
by way Of an adit that runs on a level
with the bottom to the waste dump.
Evidence OF economical management
is apparent. Supt. Colquhoun GER
tainly is the right man in the right
place for the Arizona Copper company.
He has already uncovered an immese
ore reserve and being Il thorough met
allurgist he understands exactly how
to blend the sanie in the furnace bins
to facilitate smelling. Three fur
naces are in blast and as the ores that
are being treated are above the
average in per cent there can be no
question as to an exceedingly large
output this year: At the Humming
Bird mine the prospecting with the
diamond drill goes on and are down
close on TO 500 feet.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shcnnon, DR.. and Mrs;
Lacey, Mrs. Julia Shoies, Mary and
Sarah Collins will move to the Met
calf and reside there, during the hot
weather. 1t is delightful place as
the altitude is just right to make it
salubrious. Geo. Green says he has
the weather clerk fixed so that the
patty will have nc room TO kick on ac-
count of the climate. In fact George
is confident that his stock Of climate
is inexsaustIble.
Cy Ruggles came in last Monday
from Beat Valley n. NJ. lie states
that a settler on Clear Creek to Alma
had been murdered and another man
seriously wounded. That eleven In
dians had been seen. He stated that
the parties killed and wounded were
shot before the killing OF Whittum
four days. lie has abandoned his
ranch until it is certain that his life is
not in constant jeopardy. 1t lisa ter
Fible wrong; in the opinion OF some, to
record such news, because Indians are
charged with the murder. But the
fellows that have lost their lifes in
trying to attain a home by peaceful
and industrious pursuits should, in
the opinion OF such, be left unwept
unsung in their lonely graves. How
long is this thing going TO last? is il
never to end? Is there a parallel in
the history of the world where a PEG
pie pampered and nurtured a veri-
table viper, red handed hends, cruel
internal ungratesl like our govern
ment is doing.
