The next sketch is equally pretty, one of
its most attractive features being the velvet
collar. This should be very high and slash
ed in the manner indicated; after which
each point must be wired and lined with
some color becoming to the wearer and con =
trasting to the velvet. The collar and yoke
are made in one piece, the latter coming
down on the front and back in sharp points
with straight ribbon-like pieces extending
over the shoulder seams. The belt is also
of velvet. and closely confines the silken
body. which ends in a full square ruffie at
the back. producing a basque effect and
long sash ends in front. The bretelles are
very full lace rufties, made the entire width
of the lace on the shoulders and narrowing
sharply to the belt. From under each of
these falls wide double ruftie of silk and
under these and reaching a trife below are
placed two others Of lace. one on each
shoulder.

Cheaper 20 PAY for the Paper

A newspaper in Ohio recently
brought suit against forty-three men
who would not pay their subscrip
tions, and obtained judgement in
each case for the amount of each
claim. Of these twenty-eight made
affidavit that they owned no more
than the law allowed, thus prevent
ing attachment. Then under the
decision of the Supreme Court they
were arrested for petit larceny and
bound over in the sum of $500 each.
All but six gave bond, which six
went to Jail. The new postal law
makes it larceny to take paper
and refuse to pay for it.

The rearrest of Mrs. Strickland
for the arrest of Mrs. Eggleston has
caused considerable excitement. 1t
will be remembered that after the
murder of Mrs. Eggleston, Mr.. and
Mrs. Strickland were arrested. The
trial brought out no definite evil
dence, and they were discharged.
Now two men claim to have passed
the Strickland house one night last
week and heard the sound of blows
and screams within A mans voice
was heard to say: "You murdered
old Mrs. Eggleston, but you can't
murder me-" And a woman ans
wered: "You were just as much to
blame as I was, and III have you
hung before night" On the report
of these men th. authorities have
had Mrs. Strickland again arrested.
1t will depend considerably upon
who the me are, and what they
were doing in that neighborhood,
as to whether their testimony will
amount to much, or not.

The case of J. NJ. Douglas vs. J.
D. Byrns has been closed by the
attorneys, and the Court has taken
it under advisement. The argu-

Jim Lothrop is in from Silver Star
District, this week, and from him
we learn the following in regard to
the mines of that section;
Douglass & Co, will shortly erect
Il five stamp mill in the camp to
work custom ore. Mr.. Douglass is
now at Grantsville, Nye county, ne
gotiating for the mill. He is accom-
panied on his trip by Bichloride
Horton, who will see that he does
not buy threshing machine in
stead of quartz mill.
A very rich strike was made Tues
day in the ONEIDA claim, owned by
Thorn and George. The ore runs
up into the thousands.
In the Deluvia claim, owned by
Pedrazzi and Grassi, they have 81
inches of $35 ore.
John Harrington's Gem" looks
better than ever, and he has about
a foot OF ore that will go 800 per
sack.
The Orphan Boy claim, owned by
Douglass d Co., has about Is inch
es of $45 rock
Hardscrabble Browns mine is
looking well. He is down about so
feet and has a hundred tons or
more OF ore on the dump that will
average $50 ton. He is taking
out about two tons aday. His mine
is not for sale at any figure below
100000
A Denver expert by the name of
Askeu, has been taking in the camp
for the past two weeks. He is rep
resenting Wells & Co, of Denver,
and is highly pleased with the looks
of things.
The Midwinter and another claim
adjoining, which were bonded some
two months ago for $4,000 each,
are looking WELL The first payment
on the bond is to be made at the
end of three months-$5, 000-and
the balance of the payment to he
made at the end of six months.
Brigadier Cutting says the two
best mines in the camp are Har-
rington's boarding house and Tom
Peppers wagon. He knows because
he has had experience that way.
The Bounce claim, owned by
Davis, Lothrop and Pepper, has two
and half feet Of ore at depth of
II feet, in a cut, and the ore goes
about $50 a ton. The boys struck
break this week and lost the ledge,
but will pick it up again beyond, as
it can be traced for quite distance.
Badger Bill has leased the Snow
ball from the Douglass Co., and has
10 inches of ore that goes $35 per ton.
The Mary mine, also owned by
Douglass & Co., has 10 inches OF
$50 ore.
This camp is a poor place at
present for men to go to get work
at wages, but there is plenty of
ground that can be leased on very
liberal terms.

Dredge Operations

Nearly all the carpenter work
is completed on the new dredge
plant and the machinery is now
arriving and being put in place.
The concentrators yet remain to be
constructed and the water pipe to
he laid The concentrators, which
will be homemade, are considered
the best that have ever been invent
ed. A test was being made with
one yesterday. 1t will handle from
Is to Is tons of material a day and
save 95 per cent. of the sulphurets
which pass over it. A few more
weeks and it will be known to a
certainty whether the enterprise
will be a failure or a success. 1t
looks now as if there could be but
one result of all the the tests and
experiments that have been made,
and that is success.
