SILVER PEAK.

ED. BrLIErIN-Promptly at six
O'Clock July 5, the stamps in CHAT
ovichs mill dropped on ore, and from
this time on there will be no stop
page except for necessary repairs.
The long weary wait made the faint
hearted weaken long ago, but the
grit and staying powers of this man
has made the Peak genuine mining
camp and demonstrated its perma-
nency.
know thst l have wearied your
readers by repeating the fact that
the mill was about to start and that
the ledge was large and of high grade
but the faith was in me- | visited
the mine once or twice week, horned
the rock, saw the assays and had
right to predict great things in the
future. A thousand and one things
interfered with the progress of the
work-hard rock, bad air. lack of
supplies (all OF which have to be
hauled fifty miles overland), AMI the
opposition of people here whose only
ambition seemed to be to make trou-
BILE for others, without advantage to
themselves, interfered, until it did
seem as though we would never get
out of the wilderness. Now all is
changed. The ore going through the
mill is from the Homestake and be-
longs to Sam Case, who has been
working on the Hill for the past
six months. Tomorrow the mill will
start on Chiatovich's Gre aud from
that time on, his mill will crush only
his own rock. The county will then
get it's just dues, the men will get
their pay, the long wait will be over
and | look for Prosperous times.
There is enough ore on the Mary
dump to run the mill for q month.
and as much more already broken in
side the mine, aud the ground opened
up so as to make it easy for the boys
to keep the mill going indefinitely.
We spent our Fourth very quietly,
flew odd Glory" from the flagstaff,
had big eat and kept sober in
order to get to work on the morning
of the 9Th and begin the new era.
Next year there will be a circus
down here and somebody will make u
fortune out of fire crackers and flags
We propose to burn fires on every
peak, paint the saltmarsh red and
shoot giant enough to make the
gold bugs fall out of bed in 1898. We
have been quiet long enough, have
got our second wind and propose to
make as much noise as possible to
show the world that we are still alive.
The only thing of local Importance
here is the discovery by Il scientist
from Guaymas of the wonderful prop
critics of little plant which grows
on the marsh here. 1t will make hair
grow on the baldest head in o few
weeks if applied according to to di-
rections. Miss All Fow. the tea mer-
chants daughter, has tried i: and
found its action wonderful. The only
objection she has is that the color is
deep dark red like the hair on a bay
horse, but the man from Guaym Is
thinks that by having an assay made
to determine the percentage of hair
and the kind of color it is likely to
produce, he can regulate it so that
one can be blonde or brunette ac-
cording to taste. Anyhow it will
grow hair and that is some comfort
to the bald.
don't know what is going on at
Aida or Tule Canyon and don't care.
1t takes all our time to attend to our
own business without interfering
with our neighbors. If they know
anything or are doing anything, let
them do like the rest of US and let
the world know it.
