FROM DELAMAR.

Phoebe, has been in town for a few days on
business.
Charley Bosko is making one of his regu-
lar trips and interviewing old friends and
customers, of which he has many.
As predicted in our last letter, The april
Fool has footed her whistle" and will be
running full blast in a couple of days turn
ing out the bricks that will make the own
ers happy. They deserve them for their
push and energy.
The contract let by the county commits
sioners to clean the Main street of the town,
was completed on the 10Th inst. Messrs.
Boggs and Co. have given good satisfaction,
and though what was thought to be cheap
job, they have done good work and made
good wages.
The work on the Magnolia tunnel is pro.
crossing finely, three shifts are working
pushing it to completion, and we hope soon
to chronicle that the old pioneer mine of
the district will produce the rich ore from
the lower levels as she used to in the early
days of the camp.
Domestic trouble came near depopulating
DeLamar a few evenings ago. A young
benedict thinking that home matters were
not o. X, concluded to exit by the right
flank, and forthwith swallowed a dose OF
pizen, but the doctors went him one better,
and pumped the sump dry. As far as known
all is O. X.
| Mr.. John II. Cook of Phoebe, chairman OF
| the Board of County Commissioners, was
visiting our burg for few days the for,
part of this week on business, and meeting
old friends, which are legion. Mr. Cool
has experienced our change of climate anC
complained of feeling the symptoms that ar,
so prevalent at the present time.
Reports are in circulation that severa
mining experts arrived on the bullion coaci
last Monday to examine the DeLama
property in the interest of English capital
The DeLamar mines are known to be tn
greatest in Nevada, but Capt. DeLamar ha
no objection to big bank account, provid
ing it is big enough, and the parties tina
purchase the bonanza we predict will neve
regret it.
Mr.. Jas. Person Iof Pahranagat vale,
was in town a few days ago, and report
that about week ago, that some one VIII
had evidently more nerve than judgment
stole some fourteen head of horses out of hi
pasture, taking the best. We think tina
anybody that will resort to stealing horse
at these times, when they can be bought TO
a song, is a fit subject for the insane asylum
and if caught should get the full penalty
An epidemic seems to be prevailing Il
DeLamar; a number of our citizens are CON
planning and large number are confined t
their beds with what seems to be the
grippe. The changes of weather that ha
been experienced the past two or thre
weeks is attributed tobe the cause, and som
think that the water is impure and cause
the sickness. The weather has changed f
the better, and it is sincerely hoped that
will be beneficial to the general health of I'll
people.
