Inc toilet articles.
We hear a rumor of a case of small
pox at Battle Lake. Such things
should be taken with a grain of allow
ance and no one need be afraid of
c%ontagion, as such cases are taken in
hand and rigidly quarantined from
the start.

Der of the medical profession will ar

Mrs. MAY ROBERTS.
Deputy Road Supervisor, C.. M.
Wilcox, is covering the west approach
to the iron bridge, over the Platte
here, with 4x4 timber. The rest of
the bridge will be covered in like
manner at a later period. The wear
and tear of the heavy ore teams and
freight teams is very hard on the
bridge and the flooring has to be look

w. R. Wilcox was in from Elk
Mountain this week with some very
fine specimens of copper glance taken

it will be the center of one of the
greatest mining camps in the west.

came I'VE from Rawlins Sunday.
He holds an option on the Pilson

he will, in the near future, become a
citizen of Saratoga, a fact which will
be a matter for congratulation among
our people.

clerks in that establishment claim to
be expert tonsorial artists. You can
get a shave, whether you want it or
