SILVER PEAK.

I'd. BULLETIN The mill started
on ore from the Leidy mine this
morning, and when that IS through,
the ore from the Mary tunnel will be
put through. This will be the long
est run made here in many years, for
there IS a large lot OF ore on the
dump. The mine is looking well and
there are enough men at work now
to I'LL all the vacant places aud keep
the mill going.
Fred Vollmer is running the little
mill at Aida. The silver miners
there are awaiting an order from the
government for their silver to shoot
Spanards with. We ought to make
iron legal tender now to give Han
IA aud the rest a chance to make a
few dollars.
/ hear that the Montgomery Com.
pany has paid all its bills and is do
ing well.
Louis Chiatovich is working his
mines down in the Chuakwalla coun-
try He has lot of ore out, which
he intends to work in few DAYS He
has good mill and the ore is good
grade.
This country is flower garden.
As far as the eye can reach it is a
field of living green. The late rains
have transformed the desert Every
plant we have here bears a flower
Everything from the black sage to
the quinine bush has bright blossoms
some star shaped, Others like the
lily or daisy, aud all of the most
beautiful colors, They range from
the most delicate pink or blue to the
| fiery crimson of the cactus or the
royal purple of the silver-leaf sage
Why the fellows who run the State
University don't get specimens of
the flora Of this country beats me
There is q quinine plant which is
beautiful with its yellow blossoms
and green leaves, and would stink
dog out OF tan yard" Another
plaat grows on the salt marsh which
resembles the branches of the cedar
and bears seeds which the Indians
gather for food There is also a plant
which grows here under the rocks
that resembles garlic-that is, it
gives a delicate garlic flavor to beans
when cooked with them. while wild
cabbage, onions, parsnips aud celery
grow as if they liked the country,
The crops in Fish Lake valley are
the heaviest ever known; but all
these things don t seem to make any
difference; it's as dull as rainy day.

And there was Charley Marchon, too,
Dressed in his Levi Strousses,
The rain and snow came pouring down
And then he cussed the cowses.

+" And brou ght my over coat "
Said young Marchon to Billie Mill:
Lets take little ramble,
And leave Tom Peppers COWS and calves
Here by themselves to gambol."
They wandered round the hills till noon.
Their bed it caught on fi-er.
Marchon said twas Billie Mills
Mills said You are liar"
Grandma said 'twould surely rain
She always gGesses right;
II I had only needed her
I'd not be here tonight.
And Pepper Tom came in just then
AS hungry as black bear.
The meat had just begun to boil
And therefore quite rare.
