January has passed and vet the
weather is dry and sprlng-like and
there is but little snowlin the noun
tains. 1t is now feared that the
water supply for irfigating purposes

confidently expects to throw open

hotel by the middle of April. The
postoffice is to be removed to the

pleasant dry weather is very favor
able for plastering and the work has
progressed rapidly.
We have it from what we consider
very reliable source that a big
sale of Atlanta mining properties
has been recently made-the pur-
chasers being a wealthy syndicate
composed of Denver and Chicago
parties. The properties transferred
are the Petit claims Nos. 1 and 2,
the Monarch mine, mill and mill
sites, the Last Chance, Pomeroy
and millsite. The consideration,
we are told, is about 100000.

A. J. Griffin & Co., last week
closed the deal with FL. B. Thomp-
son & Co., for the sale of the con-
dictionary store and the latter now
have charge of the same. The
Thompson boys are well and favor
ably known here and their friends
predict for them a successful bust
ness career. They take hold like
old veterans at the business and
their industrious habits and cour-
teous treatment of the public will
insure them continuation of the
large business the house has en-
| joyed in the past.
