at. Patrickss Hall.

To say that the ball given on st.
Patrick's night, at Garlock's opera
house, under the auspices of the ladies
Of the order Of tie Royal Neighbors
was the greatest. grandest, and most
enjoyable social event Of the season,
would be in strict harmony with the
facts, as all in attendance will most
readily admit. While it is true that
numerous seccessful events Of this char
acter have been presented here in the
past, il remained for the Royal Neigh
bors to eclipse them all with what will
be universally conceded 10 have been
the browning social event Of the season.
The attendance was exceptionally
large, exceeding the most sanguine ex-
pectations Of the fair promoters, the
music was superb, the management
faultless, the supper par excellence, and
the enjoyment perfect and unbroken to
the close. 1t is bit just to say that the
ladies' having charge Of its management
are entitled to the fullest measure Of
credit for the rare success which they
achieved upon this, their initial effort
in the role Of social entertainers.

A Outlook.

The outlook for enlarged mining oper-
atoms in this district are much more
flattering at this writing than it has
ever been in the past. During the pres
ent winter a number Of new mining
companies, with ample capital at their
disposal, have been organized with a
view to the thorough development and
operation of mining properties, upon a
number of which work has already
been commenced.
In addition to the number of COM
panies previously in operation, the
Willow Creek company has recently
been added, upon which a force OF men
were placed early i'm the week for the
purpose Of determining the value Of its
holdings by sinking a shaft that will
expose the ore body at a depth o. about
200 feet.
With the five or six companies now
engaged in the development of our gold
propesties IN the various outlying dis
~tricts, the important mining problem
that has long remained an undetsrmin-
ed proposition, will doubtless, in the not
remote hence, be favorably and salts
factorily solved.

Ruling Suspended Until July First.

News Of special interest to mine
owners, says the Deadwood Pioneer
Times Of last Tuesday, WAS received
yesterday by the Hon. Edwin Van Cise,
whose recent trip to Washington, ID. c.,
has borne fruit in the following letter:
Department of the Interior, Office of the
Assistant Attorney General.
Washington, March IL, 1897.
Mr.. Edwin Van Cise, Deadwood, S. ID.
Dear Sir:-Your letter Of the 9TH in
slant With enclosed brief, is received.
Today | have prepared, and the secre-
tary has approved, a communication
directing in substance, that Rule 80, of
the rules adopted December 10, 1897, DO
continued except that all applications
for patent passed to entry before July
!, 1898, or prevented from passing to
entry before that time by reason Of
protests or adverse claims, shall be ad-
Judged and determined according to the
rules heretofore prevailing. This will
protect existing applications, and will
also give those who are now about to
present new applications an oppOrtuni-
" to do so before the new rule goes into
effect. Very respectfully,
WILLIS VAN DEVANTER.
Rule So, above referred to, is the re-
cent ruling Of the secretary requiring
that where a number Of mining claims
are patented upon work performed up.
on one claim, that the amount of work
done shall be equivalent to 5000 worth
Of work upon each claim patented.

Three Women, High in WASH

Because They Believed Health

"Opening his mouth wide, he ~brusquely
thrust the pistol barrel into the very bottom
of his throat and pressed upon the trigger"
OF course the shot killed him. lie had
been challenged to q duel, n the fear OF
death drove him to suicide, Guy de Maui
PEASANT, the great French writer, tells the
story. This is no mere fancy of q novelist.
It's q dreadful, eternal truth. Men and wo-
men, living under the shadow of Deaths
black wing, fling themselves into the arm of
the very enemy they dread. See the proofs
of this in the matter-of-fact newspaper re-
ports. Note that in a great city half-a-dozen
persons will, in a single day, take their own
lives. Why? Various motives are assigned,
such as disappointed love, financial ruin,
actual or impending disgrace and thwarted
ambition. The most prevalent reason is not
dwelt upon, except in rare cases, because to
the unthinking reader it is less impressive
than the Others. Yet the fact that sufferers
from real or imaginary disease, despairing
of cure, take their own lives, is the most
appalling of all the doleful facts connected
with suicide. Within a few weeks three wo-
men, moving in the Enthusiastically in Wash
ington, killed themselves because they saw
no hope of overcoming disease. They had
struggled and hoped until struggle seemed
vain and hope a hooking delusion. One
day the shadow of the black wing was so
near that ii blotted out all the Joy and sum
shine of the world. The next days papers
told of a historic family's awful affection.
Ailments leading to self-murder are
roughly divisible into two classes: those that
are mostly fanciful and proceed from ill-reg-
ulated nerves, and those of which the symp-

William Tarrant, a well known pros
pector and miner Of this place, who has
had extensive experience in western
mining camps, returned on Tuesday
from a three weeks s%ojourn in the much
doomed Grand Encampment district Of
Wyoming. Mr.. Tarrant made a thor.
ough investigation Of the region while
there, and returns fully convinced that
the booming articles appearing in GER
tain papers purporting TO give the facts
in relation to the present outlook OF that
camp are wholly unwarranted by the
existing situation. Mr.. Tarrant admits
the possibility Of there being good
mines developed in that region in the
future, but he regards the chances Of
finding a good paying mine in that
country far less favorable than they are
in this locality, Notwithstanding the fact
that hundreds Of people, lured on 10y
glowing newspaper accountc, are rush
ing in there. Mr.. Tarrant does not
express a desire to duplicate his visit to
the new camp.
