A SUNDAY VISIT.

L. S. Bridges. E. r. Dodge, A. F.
Sisson. J. F. Crosby, c. w. Kinney
DR.. Kistler and N. A. Hummel visited
Olinghouse Sunday and took a look at
w. C. Williams gold quarry. 1t is all
there and life sized. Water is scarce
and the Slip mill can only be run about
one third Of the time. The mill Is
piled high with ore and will not be idle
again for a long time. Jeff Poole and
Charlie MacEchren are kept busy min
ing and milling. There is considerable
ore exposed in the different workings of
the Slip and the boys have a years
work mapped out ahead Of them. They
say they do not propose to come to
town until turkey time late in Novem-
Der. The cook Of the establishment
is all right and some enterprising young
lady who does not like to do the cook
ing could make a hitch there by en-
tering into a life contract with Charlie.
The boys are comfortably fixed and
have many visitors. Owing to scarcity
Of water there is no placer mining
done. The stage carries the mail
twice a week and doubtless travel will
be brisk again when there is water in
the hills. There is a flock of mountain
quail in the canyon well cared for by
the boys. They are quite tame and
make beautiful pets. Williams quarry
opens up new facts in regard to the ore
In the district and will aus more
work and prospecting to be done this
winter than ever before.

THE BICYCLE TRACK.

The amount subscribed towards the
bicycle track is a fair showing consid-
erinp that there has been little interest
taken in the matter with the exception
Of one or two individuals. All bicycle
riders should take as muck interest as
does some who are not riders. at least
in encouraging the project and seeing
that everybody has an opportunity to
subscribe toward the fund within the
next few days. If this is done at once
we will have the track otherwise what
funds are already raised will be re-
turned 10 the doners. If the cyclists
of Wadsworth have any enterprise
about themselves let them now show it
or forever keep still about the "poor
roads for cycling" Cyclists what are
you going to do about the matter9
The subscription list is awaiting yon
at the Post Office, and at present
shows as follows.
