The Summit Mill.

Messrs. Lloyd and Cook, lessees
of the Yuba, began the reduction
of ore from the mine few days ago.
Until that time the mill had been
working altogether on screening and
leached tailings from the old mine
dump hereabouts. There was a
slight margin in these tailings and
late drop in silver forced their ADAM
donment.
The mill is now working second
grade ore from the Pacific tunnel.
The amount of soft stuff in this ore
makes it difficult to handle and the
actual working result will not be
known for some days yet. The
price of silver connot fall much low
err without crippling seriously, this,
our main working.
1t was expected that number of
additional men would be put on at
the mine soon, but matters are now
so uncertain that several parties who
have been waiting around, in the
hope of obtaining employment, took
their departure this week, some go
ing to Ely, others to Statelire and
Deerlodge.

Rich Silver Ore.

Silver is lower than it ever was be-
fore and apparently still going down,
but that don't stop the average
prospector from throwing location
stakes up when he finds an apparent
ly good deposit of it.
Dan Mcdonald writes to G. o..
Newell here, from Ely, under recent
date that he and Walt Rynearson
have made a good silver strike about
ten miles north of Patterson on the
east side. The ore runs from 80 ozs
to $50 ozs. in silver to the ton, with
a shipping average from 23O to $50
ozs. The ledge, he says is about
three and half feet wide and is a
contact between quartsite and shale.
The ledge shows up for 5000 feet on
the surface and number of locations
have been made along it. We hope
the discovery holds out. 1t takes
ore of about that grade to pay now-a
days.

COMMITTED AS INSANE.
John Bingham and Geo. v. Combs
Commitedto the Reno Hospital.


Commitedto the Reno Hospital.
The individual who strayed into
town last week from the Milford
route and was reported to be insane,
was given a hearing last Saturday.
From his rambling talk he is
Judged to be native of Kansas, and
says he was in the Stockton, Cal.
asylum in 1888 but did not know
what for nor how he got out. APP
pears lately to have been tramping
through Colorado. He imagines
himself to be under some supreme
influence and connected with gov
eminent buildings in some way or
other. Says that his present name
is Combs, but that his name is
changed for him every few years.
Does not know what his last name
was nor when it will be changed
again. Claims to be upwards of
four million and half years old.
John Bingham was given a hear
ing on charge of insanity pre-
ferred by Wilkes j. Campbell, on
matters of recent occurrence which
tended to show Bigham to be of
unsound mind with on hallucination
regarding women, and dangerous
to be at large.
Bingham himself refused to speak
beyond denying the right of the
District Attorney, Clerk and phys
ician to examine him; and neither
admitted nor denied the acts charg
ed against him. Some of these re-
lated to strange actions of the man
in the past and the promiscuous
discharge of giant powder in the
neighborhood where he lives, and
he was committed as dangerous to be
at large.
Sheriff Prudential departed last
evening for Reno with both the men
in charge.

Milford Matters.

The Tribune's Milford correspon-
dent in late letter says;
Another fast freight line is being
established between Milford and De-
Lamar. This improvement in trans
portation is being made by the stage
line now in operation between these
two points. This makes it a bust
ness matter to ship tropical fruits to
DeIamar, and the Dixie country
will now have a competitor in the
fruit business. There is now talk
of a fast mail line being established
between Milford and the Nevada
town, the same carrying the mail
from here to DeLamar in 16 hours.
1t now takes 36 hours. Thus it will
practically bring the two points q
hours closer together, from bust
ness standpoint.
Milford is to have a newspaper
Its politics, religion or name has
not been announced. 1t will nc
doubt have some kind of principles
when it gets started. The first issu,
will be floated on the last of Aug
ust. and thereafter each week unit

A Nation of Growers.

A few days ago gentleman re-
marked" az am more and more con-
WINGED every day of my life that we
are becoming a nation of GROWERS.
Indeed, there is more truth than
poetry is the saying, for we growl
at the weather if it is too cold. we
growl if it is wet and we growl if it
is dry. We complain of our preach
ers and we grumble at our school
teachers. We curse our law makers
if they enact certain measures and
we denounee them if they don't.
We complain of our business and
we fret when we are pushed. We
denounce the newspapers when they
print all the bad news about us and
we bring railing accusations against
them when they don't print some
thing sensational about somebody
else, and so ON through the whole
category. The world however,
would be much better, in
dividuals and families happier and
there would often times be sun
shine where there is shadow if we
would all stop this nonsensical grow
ing.-Exchange.

FROM DeLAMAR.

A midsummer quietness is upon
us.
The Hood gave the miners a "a
hour lay off last Sunday.
Our market is plentifully supplied
with fruits and vegetable products.
The Milford fast freight continues
to arrive loaded with passengers and
freight.
The shaft on the Fraction claim,
sunk by the Nesbitt Bros, is now
down $50 feet.
A nice shower of rain fell about
three o'clock this morning and cool
ed the atmosphere off considerably.
Gene Goodrich, of the Lode is
among the ailing ones this week.
Too much celebrating atzion recent
ly is supposed to be the cause.
Dan Mandich' soda fountain is run
ming full blast these hot days. One
drink of his deliciously favored soda
and you are bound to call again.
Hans Marquardson, Joe Carroll
and Mike Cohn and wife formed a
party which left this morning for
Ely. They go on business and pleas
ure.
DeLamar is overrun with boarding
houses. The dining room of the
Culverwell house made an attempt
at re-opening last Sunday morning
but closed the same day.
Our population continues to thin
out. Some leave for good while
others get out to the surrounding
valleys to avoid the heat, which has
been unusually severe for the past
few weeks.
The school trustees are arranging
for three teachers for the coming
term and are changing the school
building accordingly. The walls of
the present building are said to I'M
safe, but what remedy will be applied
we have not heard. The building
was put up only last year and is
erectedon a good foundation.
At about the time of the rain show
Ell this morning the DeLamar mill
whistle sounded an alarm of fire.
Some scaffolding above the boilers
was ablaze A few seconds after the
hose was applied the fire was out with
no damage beyond slightly char
red timber or two. The fire equip
ment is about as complete at the mill
as it we'll can be, and owing to the
drill exercises which take place oc-
casionally, the mill alarms do moi
create as much excitement among
the town residents as formerly.
A cloudburst occurred in thu
mountains near the head of Cedar
Wash last Saturday. The water
reached depth of seven feet, ant
rushing down in torrent tore GU
the pipe lines of both the DeLama
and April Fool Companies and caus
ed shutdown of both mills for near
ly two days. Besides replacing tn
pipe washed out, the lines had to b
dug up for some distance to remov
the sand and rubbish, with which the,
were washed fnll. Both mills start
ed up on Monday.

Novel Educational Project.

A novel proposition was made not
long ago to the receivers of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad. The b. & o. has
q branch running from what is known
as Alexandria Junction, near Washing
ton, to Shepherds on the Potomac river,
where car ferry is operated in connec-
ton with the lines leading south from
the capitol. A professor of an eastern
college desired TO lease this short
stretch of track for the purpose of ed
ucating young men in practical railroad
work. In his letter he explained that
he thought there was a wide field for
right and energetic boys who could be
thoroughly we'll grounded in the prac-
teal side of railroading providing they
could be educated on regular line Of
road. He believed that by the employ
ment of veteran railroad men as teach
ers, the boys could proftably spend
two or three years working as train
men, firemen, engineers, switchmen,
station agents, and in other capacities
required in the railroad service. As
this branch of the B. & o., is of consid-
cradle value the receivers were COM
PEELED to decline the offer.

November 18th, and starting with
that issue will hereafter appear with
enlarged pages, having q fourteen
inch column instead of thirteen as
heretofore.
Farm, Stock & Home, by the use of
minion type, has always given more
reading matter for the money than
any other Minnesota Agricultural pa
per and this move will place it still
further to the fore. While an inch
on column does not seem great
deal, little figuring will quickly
prove that it is nearly equal to Civ
ing twenty-six papers of the old size
in year, instead of twenty four. The
subscription price and frequency of
issue will remain the same, viz: list
and 10Th of each month and SO cents
per year. The PLAIN DEALER has an
arrangement with the publishers by
which Farm, Stock & Home can be
had in connection with it for 81. 25 for
the two papers.

The Chicago Tribune reports that
Joaquin Miller says there are only 1000
men and $50 women in the Klondike
region locked up by snow and cold to
pass nine months together. But the
railroad companies dispute the poets
figures, and assert that nearly 5000
persons have gone thither since July II,
which meansthatthe number of people,
male and female, in the gold fields is
much greater than Miller's estimate.
The railroad companies also say that
between $4,000 and 100000 persons will
rush to Alaska when navigation opens
in the spring. How many of these for
tune-seekerswill Dissatisfied? N t many,
that is pretty certain. And before the
craze is finished it is safe to say more
money will have been spent in getting
to the Klondike than will have been
taken out of that fabulously rich region.
