DE LAMAR DOTS.

L. ii. DeVlln and wife returned Saturday
from Eagle Valley
Since the faro games have been knocked
out, our town is unusually quiet.
An addition of room 2Ox22 feet is being
put on to the refinery room at the DeLamar
Cos mill
Geo, Warren is erecting residence in the
lower end Of town, formerly the property of
VIM. Perry.
Owing to the increase in business, J. w.
Palmer is compelled to build an addition to
his lodging house.
We are pleased to note that N. P. Dooley
has entirely recovered fran his recent i'll.
ness and is able to be around again.
Deputy Sheriff johnson went to Phoebe
Tuesday, having in his charge law.breaker
to be placed in the cooler to await the action
Of the grand jury.
VIM. Perry has the contract to carry the
DeLamar bullion from Panaca to Milford,
and Geo. Warren is to carry the precious
metal from here to Panaca.
The electric light fixtures are all put up
in and around the mill, Office and other
buildings of the DeLamar Co., and every
thing is in readiness to start the electric
lights as soon as the dynamo arrives and is
put in place.
The building occupied for school purposes
is far too small for the accommodation of the
pupils attending, With the opening of the
next term, four times the present number of
children are expected to be enrolled and
suitable quarters are to be provided. This
is matter of public interest and we should
all take pride in seeing to it that school
house such as the town promises to demand,
goes up in the first instance.
Founders and toughs are coming in on us
to such degree that the Jail question must
be disposed of at once 1t is unreasonable
to ask any officer to personally stand guard
over the DRINKS and others whom it is
necessary at each pay day to run in The
pay day just passed is good example of
this. Captain j. R. DeLamar offers to con-
tribute one half of any amount which the
citizens may expend in constructing Jail.
This is generous on his part and we suggest
that petition be circulated at once among
our citizens to see what they can stand,
secure as much from the county funds as
possible, and put up good room furnished
with two good steel cages. These will
answer every purpose and will not be overly
expensive. Strike while the iron is hot and
let thirty days hence see the building COM
pleted
Capt. J. R. DeLamar left by private con-
veyance Tuesday morning, for New York
having been summoned there on very i'm.
portant business. 1t was his intention
when he arrived here a week ago to remain
until the mill should start, estimated at
three weeks or so. but some of the machinery
being still on the road, the weather bad and
other claims pressing on his time, he re-
turned and will not be back here until along
toward the fall of the year, The Captain
was evidently well pleased with the outlook,
since more improvements are to 60 in at
once. A good sized electric light plant and
additions to the mill through which to ex-
pertinent on ores for the extraction of both
gold and silver, will be among the first
The boiler, crushing and drying capacity
of the mill is on a scale of 100 tons day,
while the colonization and teaching tanks
provided will work but so tons day. This
latter is owing to an anticipated scarcity of
water. Pending solution of this problem
a portion of the surplus crushing capacity,
ETC., will be utilized for experimental pur.
poses on other ores so that in the end
model plant, capable of handling any class
of ore found in the district, will result.
