DE LAMAR DOTS.

School was re-opened on Monday with a
good attendance, Mrs. NJ. Kelly being in
charge.
Miss Maggie Clinton came down on
Mondays stage and will open school on the
Helene side.
VIM. Culverwell was taken with relapse
again on Monday but is once more mending,
this time permanently we hope.
The last run of assays from the Flagstaff
mine sent up ON Tuesday ran quite high and
all interested are confident of soon being in
clover.
Monday was pay day with the DeLamar
Company. We hope business will respond
briskly as since election it has been un.
commonly quiet.
A new school district having been formed
for this town we should be able to draw
funds enough on the first apportionment to
run us for several months,
Joe Delmue is preparing to enter the milk
business here, He will prepare place in
Helene or Cedar Canyons and expects to be
delivering milk in thirty days.
The body of Mrs. Geo. B. Warren was
taken by private conveyance to Phoebe on
Wednesday, at which place the funeral will
take place, all the members of the family
having gathered there.
One cent gallon, or forty cents barrel
is the price of water. VIM. DeFriez has
charge of the delivery hydrant and it is
comforting to think that we don't have to
go whisky straight now unless we want to.
New Years eve we enjoyed ourselves
again tipping the light fantastic at the
house of Mrs. Samuel Reed. The affair was
as pleasant as all such usually are here, and
resulted in good time to every body in at.
tendance.
Grassy Springs station will now be run by
the owners. Dan Bertosh has gone over to
the Wash since his lease expired. The
Springs make a good stopping place for
teams of all kinds and with the utmost
care there is hardly water enough to 90
round
The telephone was out of working order
from Monday until this morning, due to a
break in the wire and two bad grounds, as
was discovered yesterday afternoon. To be
without the use of this convenient means OF
communication for even two days serves to
impress more firmly on our minds the ne.
cessity Of it.
The DeLamar Company moved yesterday
into their new office building near the mill
and are preparing to thoroughly enjoy Their
sumptuous new quarters. The building il
practically three stories in height, warmed
by hot air, hot and cold water throughout
combines both office and living rooms is de
cidedly modern in appearance, and alto.
gether is the incest building ever erected il
this section of the country.
Money of small denomination being yer,
scarce here, the DeLamar Company has pu
in circulation aluminium pieces having tn,
appearance of quarters, halves, ETC., AM
good for those amounts at the company
office when presented for redemption. The,
are quite convenience but not so much 81
as the U. S. coins would be for the same de
nominations, and since the Government
sends out its silver free Of expense of trans

The DeLamar Company tramway will b
finished and in running order in few days
The working of the tramway is very simpl,
and is not an endless rope as at first sup
posed. There are two large cables, one ant
