A Big Contract.

The company which purchased the
Adelaide copper mines has let a con-
tract to haul 100 tons of ore per day
from the mine to the concentrating
plant at Golconda. The contract was
secured by Oscar Hardy of Salt Lake
who is now on the ground With so
head of horses and Is large quartz
wagons and be will begin ore hauling
very soon. The contract price is to
be 81 30 per ton.
The distance which the ore will
have to be hauled is fourteen miles
and the delivery of one hundred tons
daily at the concentration involves a
large undertaking. To take out that
amount of ore large force of miners
will have to be put to work in the
mines, and that very soon. 1t is not
thought that the concentration will
start up before December 1st. Aus

Andrew Johnson left his home in
North Carolina by reason of trouble
with his employer, and went TO the

incident to obtaining recognition by a

SILVER PEAK.

ED. BULLETIN: We are in good
spirits down this way. The internal
hot wave has rolled off south, the
mill runs steadily, the ore pays and
the people who want anything more
are too greedy. The mill has lust
finished a 100 ton run on ore from
Leidys mine and the returns are sat
isfactory
There is a large pile of ore on the
Mary dump, which is increasing rap
idly, The late strike of rich ore holds
out, is five feet wide, and bids fair to
keep on. The slopes are looking well,
and everything is favorable for John
Chlateyich to make his pile and in
the meantime scatter lot of money
for labor and material.
There is a nice pile of ore on the
Homestake dump to be worked in the
near future.
The little mill is working at Aida
valley on ore from the silver mines,
but if that metal goes much lower
do not see how even the rich rock of
that camp can be made to pay. When
Spain had the silver mines she ruled
the world, and although she lost them
it has taken Ter more than one hun
dfed years to get down to the level
of the United States financially.
Both these great governments have
to borrow money to run the govern
ment, and it's toss up" which one
will go broke first. AN ounce of
gunpowder, good Mr.. Apothecary, to
sweeten the imagination" burned
under the noses of the goldbugs,
would have a wonderful effect on the
political outlook and have tendency
to make the Secretary of the Treas
ury pay out few dollars in silver,
and thereby bring gold, silver, wheat,
corn and other precious things up to
par or premium.
The Klondyke fever has not struck
US yet, and if it should attack any
one here it will be only in mild
form.
l saw some fine gold ore from the
Armagossa to-day, and it looks as if
there would be a mine down there.
There is nothing known here in re-
gard to the Blair mines. They have
been hoodoo to the camp, and since
they are patented ought to be taxed
or sold to some one who will work
them. They were originally held at
three quarters of a million, now at
half million, and they are worth it.
The county should have collected
taxes on them for 20 years. Some of
the owners should at least pay a poll
tax like the rest of US to help pay the
officers of the county who protect
their property. VOLCANO.

a NeGf Gown.

a simple gown, yet handsome, is of
fawn canvas, made up on the founda-

work of narrow silver braid The body
shows open work squares, worked in
gold to match. A high bodice, in the
fashionable deep rose lace shot with
white, has a series of waved, converg-
ing lines of narrow, white insertion,
starting from the shoulders and form
ing points down the front only few
inches apart, embroidered at each end
with black and pink sill-certainly a
most original bodice. The coloring of
this is rather newer than the old pink,
for it has dash of flame color in it,

There Is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gcther, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure vito local
treatment, pronounced il incurable. Now
science has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tntional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. j. Cheney Co;
Toledo,l Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly on the blood and mucous sub

hundred dollars for any case it fails TO
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

Our New Mining Law.

Under the provisions of our new
mining law, locators are given ninety
days in which to perfect their loea-
tionS, subject to the following re
qulrements: The diseoverer Of any
vein or lode shall immediately upon
making a discovery put up at the
point of discovery a monument Of
rocks, and post a preliminary notice
upon it setting forth, first-The name
of the claim. Second-the name of
the loeators. Third-the date of dis
coyery. Fourth-the number of feet
IN length and the number of feet ON
each side the center of the ledge. 5
the general course of the ledge as
near as may be.
Within 80 days after the posting of
such notice, the locator must sink =
discovery shaft to a depth of at least
ten feet from the lowest part of the
rim of such shaft at the surface. or
deeper if necessary to show a ledge
of mineral in place. a cut, erosscut
or tunnel which cuts the ledge at a
depth of ten feet, or an open cut of
at least ten feet in length along the
lode is equivalent to a discovery
shaft. The boundaries must be de-
fined by marking "a tree or rock in
place, or by setting post or stone
at the center and each corner of the
claim. When post is used it must
be at least four inches square, by
four feet six inches in length, set one
foot in the ground, with mound of
stone or earth four feet in diameter
by two feet in hight around the post.
Wheu it is impossible on account OF
bed rock or rough ground to sink the
posts they may be placed in piles of
stone, and if it is dangerous to place
the posts or monuments in the prop
er places they may be placed at the
nearest safe point, properly marked.
When a stone is used instead of rock
in place, it must be exc and Is inches
long, set two-thirds of its length in
the ground
Within 80 days the after locating
the locator shall record his claim with
the mining district recorder and the
county recorder, by q certificate con
tanning: |. The name of the claim.
2. The name of the locators. Sd.
The date of the location and such de-
scription with reference to natural
objects as will identify the claim. 1.
The number of feet in length each
way from the location point, and the
width on each side of the center of
the vein, and the general course of
the ledge. 5, The size and place of
the discovery work. 6. The place and
description of each corner, with the
marks thereon. All these things
must be set forth in the second mo-
tce and the notice must be recorded.
This law does not affect claims locat-
ed prior to March 16, 1897. In case
of the relocation of Abandoned mines
the locator must comply with this
law. This law will prevent the in
discriminate holding of large tracts
of mining ground by people who will
not develop it, but it will prove
hardship to the poor prospector, on
account of its complicated require
ments and the expense incident to it's
correct observance. We believe it's
bad points outweigh the good ones,
but the Legislature says it is the law
and we've got to stand it.

The Item Called Down.

On several occasions the N. o. Daily
Item has made infamous accusations
against parties for political effect, and.
although reasonable and temperate de-
NAL has been made to it's accusations, it
has failed to correct its errors when
pointed out. This sort of journalism
may be considered Contemplating" by
some, but very few fair-minded people
on account Of it's peculiar sensatioEs
give any weight to the Items nt.erances
this represensible line. The st. Landry
Clarion punctures the Items wind-bay
thusly:
"vINDIcATED."
When the City Item circulated broad
cast over the lard the report that Isaac
Broussard, sheriff of Lafayette parish,
was a defaulter, the Clarion promptly
pronounced the statement lie. We
felt that it was but thinly disguised
scheme Of the Item to murder politically
this gallant and beloved Democratic
leader, schemes that that paper has
been known to resort to on several oc-
casiops. Therefore, we are glad to be
able to give below the result of an in
vestiRation into the matter by the La
fayette Grand Jury, which completely
exonerates, if such was needed, the be-
loved young sheriff OF our sister parish !:
I'VE took special occasion to make q
minute investigation of the sherif's ac-
counts both with the parish and with
the State, and we are proud to say to
the people of the parish that the scurril-
GUS article that appeared in the Daily
City Item some time since. charging
the sheriff with defalcation of State
funds, was and 10 absolutely false and IL
holous. Sheriff thousands accounts
not only show that he is 10 good account
