ihr non. -. . sahytE - Visiting Ne
Lamar for few days on business.
The April Fool mill is is running along
fine, crushing about one ton an hour to the
ten stamps, and will be shipping the yellow
bricks from this time on. The more the
merrier.
Our old and esteemed friend, Jack Ryson,
formerly constable Of DeLsmar, returned
from the south on the ODD inst, and says
they can have all the Arizona they want,
but he is satisfied with the banner town Of
Lincoln Co.
The magnolia tunnel is progressing finely,
and it will be no surprise to the town to
hear that the ledge of the old pioneer mine
of the district had been struck, and if she
proves as rich at depth as she was near the
surface all the old timers will say Il told
you so.
DeLamar is enjoying some fine weather at
the present time, the sickness that has pre-
vailed for the past month is on the decline.
and it is sincerely hoped that the present
weather will prove beneficial to so many
that are now the victims of the prevailing
epidemic
The visiting experts that are now investi-
eating the vast treasures of the DeLamar
mines are not letting the grass grow under
their feet, but can be seen every morning
on the road to the mines, and they do not
wait for the whistle either, bat believe in
the old motto that "the early bird catches
the worm.
Frank Fletcher, an old resident of De-
Lamar and fine mechanic, a carpenter
who could have contracted the construction
Of half the town, has so far fallen from
grace from the habitual use of liquor that
he was arrested for purloining from Nesbtt
Bros, bottle of whisky, and was fined by
Judge DeFriez fifty dollars Or twenty-five
days in the county Jail The chances are
that he viii be a county border for the next
month
The election for school trustees, DeLamar
district, came off on the 25th inst. and re.
suited in the election of Ralph Nichols.
John Wheatey and Brick Pomeroy for the
next year. This is the old board and il
would be hard to select three men that
would take more interest in school matters
than those elected. Now let the citizens of
DeLamar get together and sustain the
efforts Of the new board in erecting a school
house that will be credit to the county.
The population OF our town demands it, and
it should be the desire of the head of every
family to see that it is accomplished.
Our local justice court has been busy of
late; one case which has created consider.
able interest was that of the County vs..
Hans Morgursen for selling goods without
license. The case was decided in favor of
the county but it will be appealed to the
district court
The next case in the justice court was that
of Mike Ahearn and Jas Shea. they had
some trouble over a cabin, and Ahearn feel.
ing agrieved took the bit in his mouth and
fred two shots at Shea, and finished by cut
ting him twice with large knife. but since
they have cooled off Shea has refused to
prosecute him, and the case was dismissed
Ahearn agreeing to seek other fields.
An affecting scene occurred near DeLamar
a few days ago. Mrs. George Jones. the
wife of one Of our best citizens THAT reside
between town and the saw mill, was visited
by Mr., Royal, resident of Tintic.
Utah, who proved to be her brother. They
had not seen each other for forty-one years
and the meeting can be better imagined
than described Mr., Royal is an old min.
ing operator and well known to your cor.
respondent, having resided for years in
Silver Reef, at present be is one of the
wealthy mine owners of Finite They
parted in their youth and met to see each
other in their old age. 1t was happy
meeting for both.
