ana Uhe thermometer has since been

We need a little axle grease with which
to lubrieate our cylinder press and also
the wheels of the editors mental ma
chinery. Paper ink, wood and the
wherewithal to keep our stomach from
shrinking till it ceases to be part of
our anatomy, all cost money. So don't
take offense when we present you with
bill covering numerous delinquent
subscriptions, but pay up eheerfully

The Ladies' Social Club was enter
tained by Mrs. Weber in a most enjoy
able manner last Saturday afternoon.
Instead OF the customary progressive
card party, progressive guessing con-
test furnished the amusement for the
afternoon and all who were present
pronounced 1t most unique and de-
lightful innovation. The prizes we're
won by Miss Alice Carothers and Mrs.
Stearns.
DIR. Davis has good reason to con-
gratulate himself upon the success of
his operation on the leg of Robt. Stead.
The latter still continues to improve
and the chances OF a secondary hemor-
rhage are daily growing less. The limb
was amputated just above the knee
joint, an operation which generally
produces such shock to the system
that IA man as old as Mr.. Stead seldom
RECEIVERS. We hope 10 see him able to
be around within a short time.
The San Francisco Chronicle Of the
sth inst. contains a dispatch from Oak
land announcing the engagement OF
Miss Matte Knowles, daughter Of Cap
tain J. n. Knowles, to Charles Z. Bliss
Of Glenbrook, Nevada. The bride has
been prominent socially in Oakland
and Is highly educated and an extern
sive traveller. Mr.. Bliss is the brother
Of w. 5. Bliss, OF the Chairman Mining
Co., and paid us a visit only few
weeks ago. He has large lumber inter-
ssts at Lake Tahoe.
J. p. Simpson went out with a four
horse team last Thursday to meet Thos.
Lane and party at Mrs. Shekels' station.
They are expected to arrive here to-
lay. We are informed that Mr.. Lane
is accompanied by a representative Of
the Edward p. Allis Company, who /
built the air compressor which was put |
in at the Chairman mill and failed to
work satisfactorily. An effort will no
doubt be made to rectify the trouble I
md utilize the electric power plant
which has been lying practically idle t
since the starting OF the mill.
Mr. Bliss informs us that the work Is I
progressing smoothly at the mine aud T
mill. The cold weather has caused /
some trouble with the water pipes and /
filter tanks, but this was more of an /
annoyance than serious impediment I
TO the work. A break in one of the I
pumps caused a little delay in sinking
the shaft this week, but the damage I
has been repaired and sinking is again
progressing with 3 shifts a day at work.
At the teachers examination which
took place here this week, Sidney a.
Bush OF Steptoe, was the only appli
cant for certificate. The examin
tions, as now conducted. are much more
rigid than formerly. The questions are
Superiutendents by the State Board of
Education and 1t requires three days to
complete the examination. We are in
formed that Mr.. Bush passed very
rftulIHplt tAhlnludltOu anu We tunpEuh- /
ulate him upon his success. He has
been teaching for the past two months
in the Butte district, and was accom-
panied to town by Peter Bennett, who I
is one OF the trustees OF the district |
md incidentally furnishes goodly |
proportion of the children in the school. /
Peter says that he is as good raiser of
kids as he is of vegetables and believes |
in hiring none but the best teachers to
instruct them.
We learn from County Recorder,
Garaghan, that there have been fewer
location notices filed with him since the
first of January than for years past.
This is the result of the new mining
law which requires that ten feet of work
shall be done on the claim before the
notice shall be fled This law is aimed
against the professional claim jumper
who never does his assessment work
but lics.out all night on the lst of jan
uary and relocates his own claims and all
that he can of his neigh Dors' upon which
