Good miners, out of work, are scarce in
Delamar. Those already employed can get
work by asking for it. Idle men of any de
scription are not numerous either, but the
unemployed are those who may be classed
as general laborers, and have no special line
of work
Beginning with the first of next month
the DeLamar company will employ two regu-
ar physicians Each employee of the Co.,
will be taxed to support the doctors, but
may employ either one he pleases. DR..
Bjornson and DIR. Mayo will be the physi.
clans under the new arrangement.
John NJ. Pulsipher is rustling in his saw
mill in order to get to work before the worst
weather sets in. This, with the Vietti mill
should easily supply all lumber demands
hereabouts. The timber supply is scarce
however, and less than years good saving
will about exhaust it.
Charley Culverwell. having leased the
Helene mill. will open lumber yard on the
lots adjoining his premises on Main st.
This is something we feel the need of more
and more every day, There is no reason
why well appointed lnmber yard should
not be good paying investment.

ported from the Millionair claim Four
men have been working here for some time
past in the employ of the DeLamar Co.
The claim runs westward from the north
end of the Jim Crow mine at about the top
of the mountain. It has always been favor
ably regarded by its owners and its output
may shortly justify its name.
The departure of VIM. Houtz leaves
vacancy on our board of school trustees
The appointse will only have to serve until
July next, ~ . school election should take
place in May, the newly elected officers
taking up their duties in July following.
With our district newly formed, and build
ings and other necessaries to be provided, a
good active business man should be ap.
pointed to the present vacancy.
Our Mail.
The irregular arrival of the mail of late
has caused much complaint here. 1t is
found however that the carriers is always
within his schedule time. He is allowed IS
hours time from Panaca here. This is where
the trouble lies; instead Of two separate
routes from Milford here, there should be
but one and that one should run via the
county seat and the through time should be
limited to about SO hours. The time actually
covered would be only about 30 hours, in all
but the Winter season. Our population
and increasing business justifes the Postal
Department in making this change and if all
concerned would join in the asking, it would
probably be granted.
DIR. Hudgens' dental parlors will be closed
for ten days or two weeks during his stay
