M. A. Brown returned from
Salt Lake City and Custer last
Thursday evening where he has
been on business pertaining to
the pending sale of the Black
mine.
Col. Nick Treweek and Mrs.
Norman, of Custer, departed for
Salt Lake City one day last
week. Mrs. Norman goes on
account of the severe sickness of
her mother at that place.
Patrick Lynch, foreman of the
Custer mill, was very badly
burned about the face and limbs
one day last week at the Yankee
Fork mill by an explosion of an
acid of some kind, by an accident.
An ice cream social will be

evening, Oct. End, 1897, for the
purpose of purchasing an organ
for Clayton. A good program
will be rendered, after which re-
freshments will be served. All
are cordially invited to attend.
1t is generally supposed that
our mines are little against
good health; that is to say,
against any animal life; but if
the extreme fat hogs and pigs at
the Lark and Horn are any indi-
cation of good atmosphere for a
healthy growth, there must be a
mistake in the theory.
We are told of an amusing lit
tie incident that happened in an
Idaho mining camp not long ago.
Some of the ladies of that place
had formed a Sabbath School for
the welfare of the wayward
youth, and the temperance cause
was the subject on this occasion
we refer to. One of the ladies
were speaking upon this subject,
and to impress it deeply upon
the minds of her youthful listn-
ers, she asked bright, young
lad this question
What would you say, Henry,
if man should offer you a glass
of whiskey ?"
Henry, (very politely replied.
Il should say, thank you, sir. "
While at Bayhorse Sunday
last, on looking south, up to the
top of the highest peak of lime
some thousands of feet above the
creek, there was to be seen two
flags; and after viewing their
waving for a while there was to
be seen two young ladies, who
had climbed this high mountain,
and then gone out on this stately
peak of rock and placed them
there. AS night came on flor
the distance was so great and
this extreme point so high they
were belated, the citizens of
town could hear the voice of
women as they were winding
their toilsome way down the
rocky sides of the mountain. AT
last they reached their homes.
The adventurers proved to be
Miss l.. Treloar, sister to Billy,
and Miss Clara Coulter. There
was less fun, on their part, the
next day than on-the day of their
ljourney-too tired and lame.
Again we visited the Sullivan
Hot Springs and bathed in their
purifying waters. Every time
we indulge in this way, it seems
as if we were 10 or Is years
younger than on the day before
the bath. And, yet, if we Were
really that much younger we
would soon go back to childhood
Instead, however, we suppose in
spite of the waters we will &C
forward to childhood-second
childhood. Con. and Mrs. Sui.
livan seem quite lonely since
their oldest daughter has gone
to Boise City to attend school,
and the oldest son is away, work,
ing at the Redbird mine. Jerry
is all right, however, just taking
care of the farm and things
about the place. He comes
pretty near being boss now-till
young Con and Sadie come back
and especially Sadie, he will
have to take a back seat. The
