A Letter TO the Enterprise From the
Booming Camp.
A very interesting letter concern
ing the booming town of DeLamar
was received from an Enterprise cor
respondent recently. It is as follows:
DELAMAR, New, March IL, 1896.
Editor Enterprise: In response to
your inquiry concerning this flourish

of your readers who have never visited
this portion of the country that in or
der to reach DeLamar it is necessary
from Salt Lake City to go by rail to
Milford, distance of 258 miles bv
rail At Milford the journey is con-
tinued t y stage distance of 100 miles
to DeLamar. The stage trip occupies
48 hours and is rough travelling over q
barren desert of alkali w tn water 40
miles apart. The first sight of De
Lamar is welcome one and after the
rigors of ths journey the camp has
the appearance of a luxurious city.
The camp o; DeLamar has q popula-
ton of 1000; 10 months ago there
eere only bakers dozen. One is at
once Impressed by tho amount Of haul
ing going on. The bnlllon wagon e es
weekly to Milford, accompanied by
four guards. The water for the camp
is delivered by wagon. Tho water
rates are one cent per gallon at the

are great number Of freight wagons
running from Milford and j. cents
per pound is the rate for freight and
it takos from IA to II days to make
tho trip. Teamst, RS are charged so
cents per barrel for water while on
the road. Tho prices of commodities
is not so exhorbitant as might be ex-
pected from these conditions. Board

per month and room costs $12 per
month. The mines are the DeLamar
and the April Fool. The former has
now finely equipped mill and is max
ing additions to it. The April Fool
is now grading for millsite. Miners
are paid So at the DeLamar and 50. so
at the April Fool and everybody gems
to be prosperous. Ralph Nichols,
who was formerly Superintendent of
the Sutro tunnel, is superintendent of
the DeLamar properties. James Me-
han is located here and is doing con-
tract work. The weather in DeLamar
is delightful and everyone is going
about in his shirt sleeves. The ore
in the mines is nearly all gold.

Anti Railroad Decision.

The chief justice of the United
States Supreme G urt recently handed
down the decision in the cases of tho
people OF California against the Cen
trail Pacific and Southern Pacific rail
way companies, involving the right of
the state to tax the franchises of these
roads. Tho railroad company resisted
taxation on the ground that their
franchises were derived from the ma
tional government as we'll as t, ON the
state authorities, and were insep,r-
able. The court decided against this
view, holding that tue railroad com
panics owe their existence as cor

A Rsa utsfal Black Diamond.

Henri Moisson recently exhibited
at the French academy of science a
black diamond as large as mans
fist, which is valued at about $40, 900.
It is said to be the largest black dia-
mond ever found, and was picked up
in Brazil by miner working in pri-
vate grounds. It weighed 5000 car
ats or about twice a. much as the
largest stone of tho kind hitherto DIS
covered. Within short time after
its discovery. about FIVE months ago,
1t lost nineteen grammes of it's weight,
evidently by the evaporation of water
contained in it, but this loss has not
ceased. It's crystalline form is nearly
perfect, resembling that of the artif-
cial diamonds formed by the crystal
ization of carbon and silver crucibles.

gambling passion was too strong within
him to be resisted. He told his Sunday
school teacher that he had given up
many bad habits, but that from this
one he did not feel able to escape.
