Philipsburg Citizens anticipate a Season
of Activity Over There.

lowed by sunshine that was i'm turn

Rock creek i'm which he and other An
acondans are interested work is being
prosecuted to an encouraging extent. A
test run was very recently made in
the new mill with satisfactory results.
A tramway will be built from the mine
to the mill to facilitate the handling Of
ores. This Improvement will be COM
pleted soon. Other necessary inn
provements will follow. after which II
is proposed to start the mill and keep
ii running continually.
Mr.. Corcoran was in Philipsburg SOW
eral times during his stay i'm Granite
county, and says that the people there
are hopeful Of the early resumption of
the mines there, and are looking for
ward TO a comparatively busy season.
There are at present about 100 men
working in the Bi-Metallic shaft and
under ground. A force of men has
been engaged in making repairs to the
mill. There is little or nothing being
done at Rumsey. although IL is prob
able that the mill there will be running
before fall.

The Land of the Lazy.

From the Washington Post.

said l.. u. Giyens, Il came to the con-
clusion that IL was a paradise for lazy
men. Everything grows Iuxuriantly
with but little labor on the part Of
the natives. and many crops do not
need replanting more han once in
eight or ten years. The country offers
fine Inducements to enterprising men.
but 1t is hard on a white man used 10
civilized ways to go down there and
dwell among an ignorant lot Of natives
who arr 100 years behind the times.

Charlie" the Chinaman. the we'll

is in deep trouble. In connection with
his wash house he has been conduct
ing. evidently. a profitable opium joint.
where men and women go to inhale the
seductive drug that sends them away
into a state of happy bliss. there to
remain until they again find them
selves back into this common old vul-
gar world.
Early yesterday morning, abou 4
o'clock, Charlie and three white men
awoke from a stupor to find themselves
surrounded by four of the biggest cops
on the Pacific slope. The invasion by
the police into the fictitious realm of
a and grandeur was a surprise
that knocked the smokers into an awk-
ward sense of realization. and all that
they could do was to open their eyes
and say: 'Hully gee, what 'tis?"
Complaints have frequently been
made to the police that an opium den
was in operation in Charles house, but
the police waited until everything was
ripe for a most successful raid before
making arrests. Last evening IL was
whispered into the ear of the night
force hat a gang was about to take
n n few smokes In the Chinaman s
den.
Captain O'Brien marshaled his forces
and attacked the place just before 4
O'Clock yesterday morning. Besides
O'Brien there were on the squad Off
GERS Stebbins, Powers and ingalls,. The
smokers were the Chinaman, George

full of hop" and the Chinaman was
desperate in his fury to annihilate the
entire tribe of c~ockroaches in his cell
at the Jail. Many of the unsuspecting
reaches were killed. The other smok-
ers ~complacently accepted conditions
as they found them and reclined on the
cell couches and slept while the cock
reaches drilled over their semi-inani-
mate forms.
Yesterday Perry put up a $40 cash
bond and was released. The hearing
of the case will be had this afternoon
in the police court.
In addition to the four men, the Off
GERS also seized a full and complete
layout consisting of pipe, furnace.
