FROM peLAMAR.
Culverwells building on Main st.
is rapidly nearing completion.

Dan Mandich who has been under
the weather fora week or more, is
getting around all right again.
I. J Osborne was down from
Phoebe on Saturday looking over the
Flagstaff property. 1t is likely that
work viii resumed on the group
shortly.
The Gold Eagle property above
the Flagstaff group is showing nice
seam Of good ore in the new shaft.
The ledge has the same dip and
strike as the main lodges of the camp.
1t Looks quite promising.
The main streets of the town are
being cleaned, for the 4th. princi-
pally. This crop of rocks is as large
as any heretofore harvested and as
pile after pile shows up and only a
few feet apart, the wonder is where
they all come from.
The Company's woodyards are now
practically full and a number of adj
ditional teams have been laid off.
About one thousand cords a month
viii be received hereafter which re-
presents the average consumption.
A notice of'fCounty Scrip Bought"
is posted at the postoffice. This en-
braces jury certificates and claims
against the General Fund. They
are bringing 80 to 40 cents. 1t is
many years since this class of GER
tifcates passed current in open mar
ket.
A proposition is on foot to fit out
the upper story of the Bishop Block
on Mill st. for general Lodge pur-
poses. Six of the so called secret
societies exist here now and all are
confined to the use of one hall room,
that of the Odd Fellows over Vietti's
soloon. A second hall at least for
such purposes seems almost neces-
sity.
Among the thieves, that appear to
be growing holder in their depreda-
tons the honest miner is not blame
less. The Flagstaff tunnel was re-
Gently broken into and large guam
tity of tools and supplies, useful only
for mining and prospecting were
taken. Ordinary locks and keys
form no great protection to unused
property.
Rev. Thos Bell who has been
officiating as pastor Of the Episcopal
church here for six months past, ac-
companied by his son Robert, left
for his home in New York State yes
terday, called home by the fatal ill
ness of one of his daughters, aged
about IT. He has been in the mis-
sionary field of the western states
for nearly three years and will not
again return.
Church matters in DeLamar are
not in altogeather a Aourishing con-
dition The departure ofRev. Thos.
Bell creates vacancy in the Episco-
pal church which our people should
see is soon filed The debt on the
church building can easily be lifted
The building is neither too large nor
too good for the purposes in
tended and it should be made
good use of.
DR.. H. N. Mayo last week receiv-
ed an X ray apparatus for use in the
general practice of his profession. 1t
promises to be of great benefit in
many ways. The ability to prac-
tically see with it through portions of
the body enabled the Doctor to max g
good use of it within few hours
after getting it to work in examin-
ing an injured ankle where the
question Of whether sprain or break
called for attention. The ankle was
badly swollen and an examination
under the old methods would have
been both painful and unsatisfactory
Under the penetrating X ray how
ever, the bones We're seen to be intact
and treatment for sprain was i'm
mediately adopted,
Sometime last Saturday night the
store of Geo. G. Fetterman was for
chilly entered and number of re-
yolvers, razors, cutlery and ammu-
milton taken, estimated to be worth
upwards of $125.00 The burglars
forced the rear door of the shop. II
was kept locked, with an iron ban
against it, resting on the floor. The
door was forced with a crowbar OIL
some similar instrument and the iron
brace against the door was forced
through the flooring. Five colts revol
yers, several boxes ofpenknives, a doz
en- or two razors were scooped fromtht
show cases; and quantity of ammu
ntion taken, how much Fettermar
could not determine. The electric
lights are left buring all highland the
robbery was evidently hurridly per
formed. The missing goods repre-
sent about as much as one maj
could conveniently carry.
