The cleanup in the DeLamar mill,
following the tearing out of the old pans
and settlers and gathering up the waste
and losses of so many years run prom
ises to go long way toward paying the
cost of making the change. A number
Of men have been kept busy for some
time past chipping amalgam from old,
worn out shoes, dies, mullers and pan
bottoms, while lighter castings are be-
ing broken up and run through u re-
voiving polisher and the bullion rub
bed from them is being cleaned up.
All the Old pan and settler slaves will
be burned in one boiler furnace and
the ashes saved and w;nhel and
all waste and dirt in and about the
mill will be placered. 1t is estimated
that the cleanup will yield the com
pany not less than $4,000.

The principal topic OF discussion in
Silver City since Tuesday night was
whether Il man with a ku-klux disguise
and a mask, who walked into the Idsho
hotel Office, was josher,a crazy man or
just q plain, everyday robber. About
s o'clock that evening the aforesaid
man walked into the office while Mark
Leonard, Dan F'eour, B b. Lower and
others were setting there, walked up to
| Thompson, the clerk, and without say
ing word held Il gun on him. Feour
su denly remembered some business
that required h is attention over at
Brunzeli's; Lower ran over to Knapp's
drug store 10 tell Arthur to put out the
lights because there was crazy man
loose ana Leonard uuaccourtably dis
appeared; Thompson grabbed a chair
and showed fight, dropped the Chair
and ran fora gun. Crippled and old
as he is he had sand enough to stand
the enemy off. The fellow could not
stand the bluff and took to his heels
before tho alarm reached the bar-room
and the last seen of him was when two
la lies met him as he crossed the foot
bridge at Chinatown. The ladies were
nearly as badly frightened at meeting
him as We're the men who saw him III
tlfo hotel. His back must have been
more Gange rcu5 looking than front
view, for the Only men who hal bust
ness elsewhere were those on whom he
turnel his la;1. Thompson was the
hero Of the lc;asinn.

The high spirits II the soldiers Monday
morning gave way 70 feeling Of gloom.
when at an early hour dispatch was re-
ceived from Pittsburg announcing the
death Of private Wilson +. Enos, who
expired Sunday afternoon in Mercy
Hospital, at about the hour his
happy comrades were passing through
that city on their return to S0Inerset.
Poor Enos was the first member OF Com
pany / to be mustered out. and the
knowledge that they would not see him
again brought tears 10 the eyes Of the
brave boys who had learned to know and
love him at Camp Thomas. EuOs was
one of the first members of the Company
to contract typhoid fever. He was taken
to the division hospital. and when the
State hospital train carried home the

But instead of getting better he grew
worse, and Sunday sank rapidly. He
knew he was going to die. Just before
the time came, as he lay on his cot in the
ward, he feebly smiled at one Of the Sis
ters, and said: "I have resigned myself
to Christ. and If He wishes to take me
am not afraid to die.~ Then he closed
his eyes and little later Private Enos
went TO meet the Great Commander at
headquarters.

A forger was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary in Pittsburg on Thursday fora term
of twelve years under the name Of J. c.
Boyd. There were in ali ten indictments
against him, 10 three Of which he pleaded
guilty. Had he not he must have been
convicted on these and the others as well,
and that would have meant life-term,
As the sentence is ten years for each count.
In consideration Of the fact that the ex-
penss Of trial was saved the county. the
sentence was reduced as noted above.
The peculiar feature about the case is that
Boyd is not the mans name. He refused
10 tell his real name 70 the Court though
he oonfded it to his lawyers, who say
that he is member OF very prominent
family Ia the L 1st.
