FROM pELAMAR.

Mr.. Cnas. OxnAm, FOREMAN ~ tue De-
Lamar mine, returned home on Fridays
stage.
Harry Lawry was removed from bis
cabin to the hospital last Sunday quite low
from the fever.
The DeLamar company is erecting two
brick dwellings south of it's mill for the use
of two of its employees.
Dan Roeder i reported to have a good
showing 10 his Dunderburg claim on the
south side of Flagstaff mountain.
Schaefer nov has San Francisco kez beer
on draught, something which was thought
impossible until short time ago on account
of distance and heat.
A proposition is on foot to resume work
on the Flagstaff property under lease. The
work this time will be done on the north
end Of the claim where the surface showing
is among the best Of any claim in the camp.
Our brass band will give ball at the V.
& P. Hall on Oct 9th. The best Of music
is promised and good turnout is expected.
The band should be encouraged and sup
ported as it enlivens many an occasion and
affords frequent pleasure to our inhabitants.
The DeLamar mill shut down its crushers
on Monday, having enough pulp ahead to
last several days and permit an overhauling.
The work outlined for September was
reached in p days, and shows that the reg
ular output can be made with ease aud sew
eral days to spare.
Two miners who jumped town last Thurs
day leaving unpaid bills behind, were
brought back by their creditors and given a
hearing in the Justices Court on Monday.
Three creditors were interested, and the
victims, being unable to pay, now lauguish
in Jail, ia Mrs. Flood where they will re-
main time at least.
What is known as Sally Ann Flat, at the
upper end of town, promises to become the
residence portion of town. The owners of
the ground there will endeavor to retain
some regularity to the streets which will
avoid one Of the main objections to Mob
Hill, where everything seems to have been
built without regard to future developments.
Messrs. G. II. Patchen, Mark Church,
James Giles, James Nesbitt and T. J.
Osborne, came down from the county seat
last Saturday to take part in the Masonic
lodge meeting held that evening. This, the
oldest and most respected of all the so.
called secret orders, is well on its feet here
and promises soon to have a large and
strong membership.
County politics form good part of gen
eral talk. There has been some talk of
cliques and rings, but this seems to be dy-
ing out, as it properly should. since an ex-
animation shows that no cliques or rings
exist, except those which may have been
formed for the immediate purpose of this
campaign, and as to these, matters are
somewhat mixed, and the final result is
hard to foretel
The last issue Of the Lode contains gen
eral review of each OF the candidates nom
mated at the recent Fusion convention
Only good things are said of them of course.
The candidate who can't afford in this
campaign to advertise his virtues through
the columns Of his local paper will be obliged
to take the stump for that purpose for all
his good qualities must be pushed to the
front within the next three weeks
Dave Wertheimer, while on a trip East
recently, brought back with him Pasteur
water filter 1t operates perfectly and
shows that all the water in town contains
vegetable or other foreign matter to such an
extent as to be positively injurious. These
filters come in different sizes and at various
prices, and should be generally adopted,
Much of the prevailing sickness could un-
doubtedly be avoided by their use.
The board Of school trustees met recently
and determined not to open school here un.
til the new school house was ready for &C.
cupancy. The public hall used last year is
not thought well of for this purpose, and
the new building, barring accidents, will be
ready for occupancy in months time.
Superintendent Ralph Nichols of the De-
Lamar company says he wants to complete
the work as soon as possible, but it is unde-
cided whether to build of brick or wood.
In either case the building will be the finest
of its kind in the county and will be of
size sufficient to comfortably school all who
are likely to attend
The general.apathy existing with regard
to our fire apparatus is matter of surprise
For more than month now the hose, bell
and other appliances, arranged for over
three months ago, have lain here, aud not in
a condition to be used even if occasion re-.
quired. We have been fortunate indeed
with regard to fire in this town, but scare
occurred last Saturday night, when a large
pile of chips and bark south OF the comp
any's mill was seen to be on fire, and the
wind blowing almost gale at the time.
About ten o'clock also, the same night. a
fire was discovered in the ash pile in the
rear Of one OF the Main street restaurants,
! and an alarm was sounded. A few buckets
of water sufiiced to quench it, but we may
not always be so fortunate.
