The repeal OF the Sherman bill threw
something Of a damper on our us
ually noisy camp, Whot the out
come will be is not easy 10 guess as yet.
Silver seems to be stepping down, slow
ly, it is true, but surely. Whether II is
wise legislation to drive thousands ofpeo-
pie out Of employment, is not for us TO
say. When people become hungry, they
become dangerous. Nine tenths OF the
revolutions in the history Of the world
we're i%naugurated by hungry men. How.
ever, itis best now for Us as working men,
to face the situation boldly and do the
best we can. The picture OF Henry NJ.
Teller, making his last impossioned
for silver, breaking down and sobbing
like a child, when realizing it's useless
ness, has become deeply engfaven in the
hearts Of the people OF the west.
Every mine in this camp will work on
its full capacity right along If silver does
not go below sixty centsi which, God
forbid.
Work on the main shaft of the Maud
S. Will DO resumed within ten days.
A 100 foot contract is to be let on the
Little Fannie new shaft. This is TO be
the main working shaft when finished,
as 1t is more fstorably situated than the
one now in use.
Elmer Young, foreman Of the LATHE
Fannie, is doing splendid work for that
famous property, which has been under
a cloud heretofore through want Of iu-
dicious management.
The Deep Down Mining Company
made the last payment on that property
on the first inst. promptly.
A larger dividend than ever, will be
paid by the Maud S. for last month.
The Montero, a prospect owned by
Messrs. Kilt and Gurdon Bradley, is rap
idly developing into a paying property
1t is located below the Confidence, and
is a strong, vigorous looking ledge.
Mr.. r.. X. Wade has purchased th'
large saloon owned by the Meadero. He

possible.
Mrs. Ross Thomas, who has been YER.

strong as fast as would be desired. He

Q to Phoenix, A. T., for the winter, wher
8 the health-laden desert breezes will sool

A great deal of sickness, which i
o most cases assumes a form of typhus fe
yer, is prevalent throughout the CAM

The new two story hotel erected
