A Paradise.

A. III. Viele, general freight and

reporter, Mr.. Viele vouchsafed the
opinion that Ely would be much
sought i'm the future, as place to
spend the summer. and that the travel
of outside visitors TO this city out
numbered any other place on the line.
His opinion of the summer advan-
tages we possessed was expressed very
forcibly in the following language:
1T is simply the most beautiful
country to spend the warm months in,
it has been my fortune TO see. Burnt

and excellent camping grounds. -
He thought that another summer

Frost retards the steam shovel at
the Chandler. This seems very
strange but it is nevertheless fact
that the inside of No. stock pile is
almost frozen solid, and the steam
shovel has considerable hard work in

No actual reduction in the working
force of the Chandler has as yet taken
place although all who wish TO leave
can go Immediately and no new men
are being hired.
During the heavy galeof Friday the
smoke stack on old No. engine house
of the Chandler, was blown over. No
serious damage was done.
The balance of No. stock pile. is
being loaded by hand, under the
supervision of Capt. Thos. Champion.
A crew of about 20 men is being EN-

the bullet lodging in the horses groin
causing a wound which viii be hard
to heal and which in all probability
will necessitate the killing of the

hard to convict the fend.

shots missed but the third took
effect.

the deed was done through spite, as
the firm had had some trouble with
the inhabitants of the east end of the
city the previous day. 1t is certainly
a dirty way of getting revenge and

get even with its owners, deserves
nothing better than dose of tar and

should get what he deserves.
