johnson City people are making
great preparations for their fair, to open

Indications point to very successful
exhibition. The time was when Greene
vile held county fair and offered
premiums sufficient to stimulate spir-
il of rivalry for superiority among our
farmers and every branch of home IN
dustry. The people got together once
year, saw what their neighbors were
doing and stimulated those who deem
ell themselves deficient to exercise
greater energy in their work, especial
ly if il happened to be in the agricul-
tural or stock raising lines, Aside from
the benefits thus derived, it gave the
people an opportunity to get together,
become better acquainted and have q
good social time, The family who rails
cd the best looking baby came in for
their share of the proceeds along with
the family who raised the biggest pump
kin. The business men of the town
were kept busy waiting on customers
and every body was in a good humor II
they were going in a run. As it is now
the circus comes along, gets the crowd
and their money and takes the latter
out of the country. The business men
Of Johnson City are shrewd and enter

GOLD HILL ITEMS.

Roy Peterson is visiting in Boulder
this week.
Superintendent Daily Of the Lucky
Star mine has located his family in Boul-
der for the winter.
Not much is heard of politics these
days among the busy miners, but Bryan
distances all other candidates in this
district.
Friends of Howard Harris, who lately
returned from Oregon, will be pleased to
learn he has again made rich strike in
the Slide mine where he recently took a
lease.
During the past summer citizens have
reconstructed and put, the old county
wagon road between Gold Hill and Wall
Street camp in good passable condition.
On this road between the two camps
there is great deal of travel and more
turn outs and improvements are needed
and as the road tillbelongs to the county
it might be we'll to call the attention Of
the Hon. Board of County Commissioners
to the condition of things.
The new ten stamp Fraser & Chalmers
mill on the Gold Nugget mine is just
being completed and will, start up al
once on the large ore reserves blocked
out in the mine. The mill is modern anc
we'll constructed for convenience through
out and fine saving in amalgamatior

The Gold Nugget mines bear the dis
tinction of producing ores Of the highes
qualities for amalgamation and only
ignorant, egotistical. and reckless man

have held it back as a regular producer
The present menager, Mr.. L. H. Deni

man and much good may be epxpectel
from the Gold Nugget IN the future.
