an able and practical mining man, but
is thoroughly acquainted with the
workings of the mine a. it now stands,
having supervised its development
from the start, and it is eminently
fitting and proper that he should con.
tinue in charge. This appointment
was not unlocked for and his friends
are pleased to know that he has been
secured.

Munro's Hall which heretofore has
been used for dances and other pub
lie uses, is being partioned into sleep

without Hall, and makes room for
some enterprising person or persons

A good Hall put up in suitable

FRUIT CROP DAMAGED.

The Frost Gets in Its Deadly Work on
Currant Creek Orchards.
1t is reported that the fruit ON Cur
rant Creek was killed by the recent
frosts. This is unwslcoms inferma-
ton to the people in this vicinity.
Currant Creek is one of the sources
from which Ely, as rule, gets her
first supply of carly fruit. Last year
the Currant Greek fruit was almost
totally destroyed by the late frosts,
and it is discouraging to know that
this years crop has met the same fate.
