DE LAMAR DOTS.

Good reports continue to come of develop.
ments in tho April Fool mine.
The postofiice is in charge of the new boss
and Miss Tillie Roeder is installed as
assistant.
The DeLamar Company's bullion coach
made another trip with lot of the pure
stuff last Thursday.
Ralph Nichols has been appointed men,
Der of the Board of School Trustees of this
district to fill the vacancy created by the
resignation of James Gibson.
The new stage line to Phoebe is regarded
as a blessing by those who find it necessary
to pass over the road, and they are many.
1t should be literally patronized.
The second story being added to the
Vietta building is rapidly nearing compile
ton. 1t will be used for lodge purposes and
is understood to be already sold for that
purpose to the Odd Fellows.
The Flagstaff owners want to give con-
trac. lease for several hundred feet of work
on their claims Parties are entertaining
the offer and examined the property with
some of the owners on Friday.
Claim owners are getting out for assess
ment work, and while assessment work is
said never to amount to anything yet with
it going on there is always a chance of a
strike. We hope to hear of more than one
within the next sixty days.
The work of regularly opening an Odd
Fellows Lodge here was begun yesterday
wednesday, evening. 1t is thought the
work will be completed tonight There are
already some forty members in and about
the town and hourishng lodge is expected
to result.
Town lots are not scarce. Regardless of
mineral monuments, dumps or anything
else, parties have staked off lots for long
distance up the canyon across the Gold Cup
ground Four rock corners and five line
notice are supposed to be sufficient to hold
these claims.
Nesbitt & Bro. have their pipe line com.
pleted to their store on Main street. The
delivery will be at the rear of the building.
Blasting was necessary to cut the pipe ditch
through town, endangering persons and pro.
perty to some degree. The pipe will be
laid within day or two also.
The Jail building is completed as to rock :.
work and furnishes good resting place for
the obstreperous drunk. Our local officers
will not be required hereafter to constitute
themselves pugilists and subdue clamorous
ontbursts by main force. With the addi-
ton of the steel cell now enroute, the struc.
ture will answer all purposes required of it.
To clear Main street of accumulated rocks
is the next work in hand. This, on account
OF the formation of the ground hereabouts is
no small task and two weeks hard work
with mon and teams will not more than
suffice. Once thoroughly leveled and
cleared off it will be passable thorough
fare for some time but will very likely need
attention every month or two for some time
to come
As soon as the DeLamar Company secures
its new dynamo, arrangements will be made
to light the town by electricity. This is an
advantage which those who have not ex.
perienced it fail to appreciate. The cost is
not expected to exceed that of coal oil and
II it does not, there is no coed reason why
an ordinance should not be added to those
already existing here, excluding coal oil
lights in all business houses and public
buildings. The safety of thetown from fire
may depend on such move.
The surveys Of the Maid Queen and the
Gold Cup claims for U. S. patent are com.
plete. The southwest corner of the Gold
Cup stands in the rear of Wertheimer's
store and the south line runs easterly across
the gulch thus taking in the easterly part
OF town. The Maid Queen joins the Gold
Cup and from its southwest corner runs six
hundred feet down mill canyon at an angle
considerably below the mill and takes in the
town from Mill street up. What the appli.
cants for patent have in mind concerning
the town trespassers can only be oonjectur.
ed, whether to eject them or not. 1t is re.
ported that they will give twenty year
leases to present occupants.
Our public schools opened here Monday
with good attendance. There are two de-
partments, R. N. Higgins being in charge
OF the grammar department and Mrs. M.
Kelly in the primary. Some disappoint
ment exists that the apportionments of thi,
district are not larger, but the apparent de.
ticiency is explained by the fact that the
first apportionment of funds under the
census of last May will not occur until some
time next month, and this being new dis
trict and having spent more than its share
OF funds last winter, starts off with an
empty treasury. Considerable interest il
manifested by parents in having . long, term
and no doubt means will be secured to effec,
this.
