The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
NJ. Olson died last monday and was
buried on Tuesday. Her age was ten
months.
Mrs. George II. Handy, of Silver
City, has been delighting her many
DeLamar friends by visit here, the
guest of Mrs. Crosson.
Because Of the grand ball on Mon
day night, the Dancing School man.
ayers will not have their usual social
dance tonight.
Mrs. Hugger, of Iowa, who recently
obtained divorce from her husband,
did not ask to have her maiden name
restored by the court. She had an eye
to future conquests.
Hon. George H. Handy, accompanied
by Mrs. Weston, paid DeLamar a visit
on Tuesday. The Judge had become
lonesome and came down after his wife
who was visiting here.
Mr.. W. b. Banks, who has, since be-
fore Christmas, been over in himmett,
renewing his acquaintance with his
family. returned this week and has
gone to work at the mines once more.
A large party of the friends Of Mr..
and Mrs. RUDE Clifford broke in ON
them on Tuesday night and had fine
old party. They brought musicians
with them and dancing was the order
of the evening.
Mr.. S. Villeti, gentleman interested
in the Pelatin- Clerici ore reduction
process, dropped in here this week just
in time to find the plant here temper
arily closed down. He went from here
to Silver City to complete the install
ment of the plant at the Poorman mill.
Superintendent Mitchell, Of the Big
I, is now cutting out station at the 2C0
foot level, and will commence a perpen-
dicular upraise from the 800 foot level
to that point. This will make the
Strengthened shaft at the 300 foot level
40 feet from the present incline shaft.
Several miners from here went over
to Flint, this week. Superintendent
Martincourt is putting on more men
since the strike was made in the Rising
Star. The reports coming here concern
ing that strike vary considerably but
the most conservative of them are
quite favorable.
Postmaster Stoddard has purchased
from the Plummer estate the building
now occupied by Mat Halls store and
will, in a few days, remove the post
office to that place. This is most
convenient location for the office and
very much better room than the
cramped quarters now occupied.
The total output of the DeLamar
mines since in the hands of the present
company has been something in excess
of six million dollars. To this may be
added the million or more taken out
by captain DeLamar. More than
eighty per cent. of this amount hls
been disbursed in labor an supplies.
Stripping the adjacent country of
scant fuel supply and curtailing the
area of the sheep and cattle ranges Of
the county to small extent is all the
-loss that can properly be charged
against this vast disbursement Of mon
ey amongst laborers and producers. |
Who would not welcome the discovery |
of a new mining district anywhere?
Two of the leeching tanks in the new
plant being put in The Dei.amar mill
were filed with ore on Monday and |
have had the cyanide solution turned
through them long enough to demon
strate that the liquid runs through the
ore satisfactorily and that the process
will work upon the ores of the camp.
At the present time the work is going

the present time the outlook is very
bright. A strong force of mechanics
