City MARSHAL Wing recently received
a communication from Mrs. Catherine
Burns Of Augusta, asking him to as
certain for her whether her husband 8
first wife died in Lewiston. Mrs. Burns
said she married William Burns of
Lewiston in 1852. Her husband inform
ed her that a former wife had passed
away in 1858. She is endeaVOring TO
secure a pension but cannot prove her
husbands first wife is dead. She has
written the city clerk, who cannot find
u record of her death on tine books.
City Marshal Wing says he does not
doubt that Mrs. Burns number one is
dead, but says the only way that it
could be proven would probably be by
the Catholic church record. 1t was not
customary in those days to Keep a rec
ord of each birth and death, the same
as it is now-Lewiston Journal.

The Delta Newcastle group Of claims,

The Delta Newcastle group OF claims,
near old Parrot City, are showing up in
manner that justifies Mr.. anDerenter
in the belief that he can soon vie with
Tom Walsh in size OF diamonds and
swallowing oysters with kings. He has
but 50-foot shaft and 35-foot drift to
show up as development. but in that T.
foot vein he has 7inch pay streak, the
lowest grade OF which is worth, in car
load lots ST1S6 and the highest e204l5
gold per ton. or course there is much
higher grade OF ore in the mine-some
samples running 62 ozs gold per ton
but mill returns are more satisfactory.
The workings are probably 75o feet
above the river bed, hne timber sur
rounding perfectly lsvel wagon road

The Leborer of last week reads a
lecture to the board OF trustees Of the
town for failure to provide new water
works and a better supply of water.
To the innocent lockers on it seems to
be little cheeky for an individual who
does not own dollars worth Of property
in the town, who has never paid dollar
in taxes in the town, to dictate to the
citizens what must be done and done
quickly or suffer the consequences.
Perhaps long residence IN the
metropolitan city of La Jara, in the
great San Luis valley, an intimate
association with goats, greasers and
sheep for years past gives one an insight
into the mysteries OF waterworks mana
cement. But we do not know, for it has
not been the privilege of everyone to
have these earlier advantages. We are
sorry for the residents of this place for
their ignorance, but presume they will
throw the blame on providence for their
misfortune.

that the orchards are in fret class con

next season. The condition OF the

quarters in fine shape. The supply OF
water for next season promises now to
be abundant, heavy SHOWS having fallen
of late on the high ranges. Reservoirs
are being built as fast as money and
muscle will do the work and on many
of these the work will be pushed all
winter. Enough water goes by every
spring. il only held until midsummer, TO
supply an abundance for all the tiliao
land in the county and the ranchmen
and fruit raisers are now realizing this
fact. and further that the early spring
flow must be stored or else farming in
