wELLMAN NOTES.
BY sAwprsr.


Prof. Byrne was called away on the
18th inst. on account of the death of
his sister.
Some of the main whisky drinkers
say they are not going to order a jug
until after Christmas.
Mr.. Scutt brought in Jersey cows
last week for which he paid about s135.
Others would do well to pattern after
him.
We are told there we're ten negroes
lying out in the rain Sunday evening
on the mill plant. AS no one, not even
negro, wants drunk man in his
house they were left without shelter.
Messrs. Converse, Scutt and NJ. l..
Ryals and their families went, accord
ing invitation, to Mr.. A. M. Summers
birthday That's right, Chellus; we
are glad to know you are born again.
Last Sunday Dick Boutwell, and va
rious others got in possession of some
whisky which ended in the whipping of
Judge Boyer. We don't know whether
it was blind tiger whisky or not. What
a pity it is that men will order whisky
and give to their children. Stop and
think. The money that you pay for
one gallon of whisky will put good lit
erature in reach of your children for a
whole year. Let us leave off the whis-
ky and spend the money for good
books and papers. Good reading mat
ter will not make your children drunk
but will lead them to higher and bet
ter life.
Died.-On the 14th inst, Mrs. Brister
wife of James Brister, residing about
one and one-half miles south of this
place. She was faithful member OF
Pleasant Hill church. Our Heavenly
Father called her from her labors to
rest. She was a wonderful woman
| We never knew a woman of greater
energy. Her hands were constantly
full of work and her long life was q
busy one. Her decided character
entered into her Christian and
church life. A faithful companion
a devoted mother and good woman
has gone away from us. But we shall
know where to find her. Long has she
faithfully toiled as companion and
mother, and now she rests. Peace be
to her memory.

extinct oceans. The great Colorado desert was cuee an inland sea, cut of centuries and re,haps ages ago from the maiu ocean, leav- isg it's waters to eyaporate in this intense heat. Throughout all the country border ing the desert. including this section, rich mines arc being constantly discovered, and some Of recent location are already produc ing immense profits. h the neighbo.hood of Yuma, claims exceedingly rich on the surface are daily being located, and all signs portend great mining boom for this county which will culminate as early as the coming fall in an ihroad Of much capital. Experts are arriving every week and mines are being bonded at more than heavy prices. It seems wonderful to believe that all this min i eral wealth has been lying at cur very doors for so many years without 2 taker, but the tendency of prospectors is to go long dis tance eff into strange lands rather than to seek fer mines in a county as old as Yuma County and so accessible. The greater the distance, the hardship, and the danger, the greater the fascination for the prospector. Distance seems, indeed, to lend enchant- ment to the view.
 So'it is that this county is almost virgin i field for the mine hunter, and now with the few hundreds searching ln its mountains its mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, for thousands upon thousands might be wander ing through the rock-ribbed fastnesses of our mountain ranges and their presence be almost unknown, so vast is the extent of country
 Recent rich discoveries of gold deposits, particularly in lodges, have given great impetus to mining throughout the county.
 New locations are being constantly made, and all show well upon the surface. The La Fortuna mine, recently put in operation, has 2)-stamp mill running night and day, and the production of gold averages $75, ,000 per month This mine is situated about 30 miles southwest of the village of Yuma.
 Rich gold discoveries have also been made in Castle Dome, Harqua Hala. Centennial, Palomas, Pot Holes, and other mining dis. tricts, and, although the mining outlook in the county was never better, still most ol the silver and lead mines are idle, owing to the low value of these metals.
