]. S. Acker came down from
Louis creek Tuesday, where he left
Mrs. Acker and children who, in
company with other campers are
enjoying themselves hugely. Mr..
Acker came down on the deck of a
"broncho," intending to return to-
day, but as it was the first time he
had mounted a horse for many
years he is now inclined to think
he will probably walk back to camp
when conditions are so that he can
do SO with comfort.

Capt. Berry, while serving milk
at the Jap restaurant one morning
last week and during his short alb
sence from his wagon, 5-gallon
can of milk mysteriously disap-
peared. Several days passed with
out suspicion of the thief and Cap
tain Berry had arranged for a no.
fice in today's BULLETIN asking the
thief to return the can and no
questions would be asked. How
ever, the empty can was placed in
the road that the Captain daily
traverses and he recovered it but
is still in ignorance of the identity
of the thief.
Mrs. Frank Boyd's pretty resi-
dence came near destruction by fire
Monday morning about 8 O'Clock.
The fire department was promptly
on hand and suppressed the flames
before much damage was done.
The origin of the blaze is mystery.
Mrs. Boyd and children were alb.
sent in the mountains and Mr..
Boyd was taking his meals at the
Commercial hotel, hence no fire
had been lighted in the house for
two days, and he had not been in
the house since early that morning
A washstand stood near the back
door of the kitchen, and in the wall
paper just above the stand was
WHCIO bilC uIO COIlulouCtu, running
up the wall and finally reaching
the ceiling and roof before it was
extinguished. The damage sus-
tanned will amount to about 800
we are informed.
We are informed that aluminium
clay Of very great richness has been
discovered in Lincoln county, along
Snake river, for distance of ten
miles, from Thousand Springs to
Bliss. Some of this clay has been
assayed and said to contain from
so to SO per cent silicate of alumni
mum and this means about zoe
pounds pure aluminium to the ton
This at 30 cents per pound would
mean $210 to the ton or, better thar
a mine in Klondyke: There is q
world of clay banks from % to 10C
feet high, so that no one can have
monopoly on it. The only mon.
opoly is in the power, as the meta
requires 600 degrees Fahrenheit tc
reduce it. and this means 1000 tc
400 electric horse power. Thous
and Springs afford an ideal mower
