ATLANTA, Nov. 20, 1898.
My DEAR oLD BULLETIN: Pre-
Stunning that your whilom CORE
spondent at this place has crawled
into his hole for the winter and
pulled the hole in after him, and
trusting that / am not intruding,
herewith send you few items fol
publication.
When 1t comes TO fun and enjoy
ment, Atlanta Is sure to be in the
front every time. We are to have
masquerade ball on Thanksgiving
eve, which will be a grand affair
beyond doubt. Foley Abbott will
come over from Rocky Bar to fur.
nish the music, and you can bet il
will be good. I'll be there. too. II
It is possible for me to get through
the doorway. At IL o'clock all will
unmask and partake of palatable
supper which will be furnished free
by good and generous ladies Of our
camp.
Miss Ella Gaetz was welcomed
back last week. after a couple OF
months absence from our midst,
visiting with many friends at Boise
City and Mountain Home, and there
can be no doubt as to the young
lady being well treated in the lower
country, judging from her good
humor and increased weight. A
dance was gotten up the same even
ing she arrived, and her many
friends participated and had good
time.
Law suits have been the rage
here for some time past between g.
w. Elliott. q. Lester and K. John
son, plaintiffs, and r. b. Browne
and Chas. Motion, the defendants.
There was not much fun in ii for a
for a few people. Two special con-
stables were appointed here by JUS
tees Barnhart and Butler, and after
serving several weeks (poor suck
ers) found out by the aid of the
editor of the BULLETIN that there
was no law for the appointment of
such officers to perform the work in
question. Special constables had
been appointed here by Justices for
the past twenty years and no one
had any doubt but that everything
was all right. We are expecting
every day, though, that the parties
who SO kindly sent six miles for a
special" to serve will try to force
him to take silver for his services,
which will be accepted for a limited
time, but any services in future will
require genuine money in advance.
Browne has compromised with all
parties.
We have had stormy weather for
several days and up to date the
snow has piled up to depth of IS
inches and still coming.
Rufe Turner made a trip with
sleigh TO Rocky Bar few days ago
and came near not getting his load
through, as it took him two days on
his return trip. He reports about
three feet of snow now ON the sum-
init between this place and the Bar.
Judge Heath is working force
of men on his Washington mine,
and says he is within five feet of a
rich and large body of gold ore.
r. B. Browne is still extracting
plenty of rich gold ore from the
Last Chance mine that assays from
$50 TO 5000 per ton, and no doubt
will have splendid mill run next
spring.
The Tahoma Company will work
a small force of men all winter and
open up the mine in good working
order for next spring, when it is
thought they will work the mine in
earnest.
As our mines predominant in gold
it is hoped that Atlanta will see
larger boom, at no distant day,
than ever before. L. n. F.
