A very pleasant party was given by
Harry Herman on Friday last, celobrat.
ing his Hltieth birthday. Col. Bennett
and wife, Miller ana wife, Miss Dud,
John Fry ana numerous others we're
the participants 10 a bouuteous repast,

TO serve. May your birthdays be many
more, Harry, and may fortune shower

Another birthday party wal given by
Miss Katie Duff, at the residence OF
her aunt, Mrs. Patterson, on Monday
last, The elite Of the city were present,
and the amount OF ice cream and cake
devoured was something prodigious;
iollity reigned supreme. BY the way,
MI. Editor, l could tell you something
else regarding the charming hostess, but
1 think I'D better bide a vice."
Mr.. A. A. Harrison, Of the Confidence,
took last Tuesdays stage for Silver. He
will make quite an extensive trip east,
stopping at Denver, and then proceed to
Iowa, his native state, and will in all
probability visit the city Of the fair. He
expects to be gone about two months.
There is no further news regarding
the "Conidence" trouble. However
for part, although we can only con-
lecture or surmise, we have the fullest,
fFmost faith that it win be settled soon
and believe that Mr.. Leavick will soon
perfect all arrangements for the full re-
sumption Of all work. Reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
Visitors from the metropolis have been
plentiful during the past week. Among
others we noticed Judge Bell and Joe
Sheridan. The boys are out for a REQ
reation and pleasure trip, and many are
the specified beauties that have fallen
victims to their skillful angling.
"what is silver quoted at 10 dayS" is
the query o~ttenest heard on the streets
on mail days.
The steady humping Of the stamps
at the Maud S. mill is becoming almost
monotonous with is u~nceasing regular
ity.
New bodies Of high grade ore are con
stantly opened up in the Maud S. mine.
This mine is rapidly assuming the pro-
portions of a bonanza, much of which is
due to the sterling abilities of Mr.. Jno.
7. Mitchell, the efficient superintendent,
who with unerring judgment has opened
this mine until it became one ofthe best
prod ucing properties in the west.
Some very high grade ore has been
discovered in the "Little Fannie" II
will run way up in the hundreds as it is
thoroughly impregnated with native sill
YER.
The Sheridan mill at Cooney started
up last Thursday on Little Fannie ore
This is welcome music to the inhabit.
ants OF that camp who have waited for
two weary years for something to turn
up. Cooney will make a good camp yet
mind what / tell you.
Messrs. Kramis and Cooney have the
contract for putting up the mill for
Capt. Mike Cooney. Immediately upon
completion it will start on ore from the
famous "Old Cooney" mine, a large sup.
ply of which is on hand.
The Deep Down mill commences op-
erations on or about the LIST. They have
a very complete little plant and the gen.
tlemen in charge are able and expert
enced mill men.
Judging by the output Of the Maud
s. to which will soon be added that Of
Little Fannie and Deep Down, Mr.. Lee,
our stage manager, viii soon have to
add a treasure wagon to run between
here and your city. The stage alone
viii not be sufficient.
In spite Of depressing times our bust.
ness men report business fairly good. Nc
kick coming.
Judging by reports the outlook for
silver is not as dark as it was two months
ago. New converts are daily hocking To
the standard of the white metal until il
has become almost a ~foregone conclu.
sion that sooner or later it will resume
It's rightful position among the money
marts OF the world. 1t is this assurance
that fills our hearts with peace. May
God speed the day.
1t begins TO look as though this town
was on the verge Of a building boom
judging by the number of lots being
graded.
Messrs. Golden & Fry are grading Out
a 100 foot lot upon which two elegant
residences will be erected. Can't bt
that Johnnie left some one behind him
at Cooks Peak or Lake ValleyY
The discovery made by Dan Lannor
and John Lambert on the south fork Of
Dry Greek Is proving a valuable proper,
ty. The ore is rich IN gold and Is Of &
very peculiar character, resembling tel.
luTium.
Almost daily reports Of new discover.
les reach the camp clear from Copper
to Mogollon Creek. The hills are alive
with ~prospectors, and where there is &c
much smoke there must be a little fire.
The yard in front Of Col. BENEFITS
house looks very beautiful clad in semi.
tropical verdure as it is Almost every
thing grows in our soil, and there is
nothing so identifying as a yard IN front
OF ones house clothed With flowers,
shrubs and trees.
Well, Mr.. Editor, as you were here
yourself last week, you probably picked
up a lot Of news, so / will let this suffice
