and the result is the stockmen are tue

meat for himself and family, that he
will do the sneaking after some ones
fat calf something that he knows don t

personal property and are just as much
one mans as another. They belong 10

makers of this territory don't want me

! gather up all the deer and take them
out of the country. for they are liable
to get some of them hurt.
Jack McAlister has decided to sink
deeper in his well is he has two men
at work at it though there IS no use in
that for Mr. b. f. Biliingslsy says
that he will bet so that it rains in
Duncan on the 10Th of this month SO
there is sure TO be plenty of water As
Mr.. b. never goes around the truth be
walks right oyer it aud some times
when you hear him tell what his goods
cost him and how ne sells them you
would think he forgot to pick it up.
Stick Kelly, little Jim Kelly and
Bert True passed through the city Il
few days ago on their way to Duncan
where Mr.. True will take the train FOR
old Mexico. Mr.. True says, that he
don't think that he will ever
see this neck OF the woods again.
He says that when ever it gets so that
he cant stay at home nor go any where
else he's going to climb a tree. Mr.
7. is what the shoemaker throwed a.
his wife the last OF Clear Lake.
Mr.. Keesee has struck some very fine
ore out of which he pans out gold, the
pay streak is about ten-inches wide.
We were over the Phillips and Hill
property the other day and they are
taking out some very fine copper ore,
it being perfectly full OF glance and
black copper and my opinion is that
they have got the biggest copper
propositio in the Tit -rict. They have
four well defined white ledges which
carry Il large per cent. of lime all
showing copper. The ledges are from
ten to thirty feet wide. These lodges
are in the low hills and show that the
top Gaping has passed awayycars ago,
which shows that the rich ore is rot
far off and everything goes to prove
that there is a large body of Ii and
from the way they talk they think 50
too. Mr.. Phillips is talking of taking
u prospecting trip down south, he says
that he believes that he's Just fool
enough to strike it rich. That is gen
orally the kind that find it. and il |
was going to pay Il man wages To pros
pect that's the kind of a man | would
get. Not one that thinks what he
don't know was never put in the book.
They 90 out. spit their jaw brakers
about the different kinds of mineral.
When the old fool goes out he looks at
everything and il he finds anything
that looks like it had anything in it
he sends it of to have an assay made
therefore he know whether he has any
thing or not but the other man he
knows all ready. If he was to send of
Il rock to be assayed and il the assayer
told him 1t was no good he would call
him liar fOr he knew it was rich, that
its the same thing they were taking
out at Cripple Creek. If Mr.. Parks
does shut off the gass that Is passing
from his we'll, we would thank him
very much if he viii give us about ten
days notice before hand so that we will
have plenty OF time to get away Think
he would have made more money by
striking cold air rather than hot for
we have plenty of that everywhere.
There was quite an excitement in jus
tice RObinson's court yesterday at
Carlisle, New Mex leo, b. L. Billingsley
having entered suit against Clear Lake
Mining company for an account made
while they Were working their proper
". The court saw proper to give Mr..
Billingsiey Judgment, but Mr.. Ned
Hinkley coulSI,t, see it that way. He
claims that the property all belongs to
him. The court having ask Mr.. II.
how he came by these Improvements. if
had ever paid anything for them;when
Mr.. II. answered that he had come by
peaceable possession the court doubt
ing the statement stopped Mr.. Hinkley
from saying anything more which
caused him to lose his temper. He Jump
ed up and struck at the court but as
he's some on a strike himself, the lick
went astray and If other parties has
not interfered some body would have
rot hurt. Mr.. II. was fined SO for con-
tempt of court. Mr.. Hinkley says that
it was good thing that be didn't have
his gun. which | suppose ii was for if
he had he would have lost that too, as
we'll as the SO. You have no donbt
heard of these bad men" who live on
Bitter creek. Mr.. Hinklcy lives right
on head waters. Mr.. j. +. Holder,
the goat man who lives on the same
creek says that things are getting too
warm for him and he is going to move
to Sacramento mountains, New Mex
leo. Mr.. Holder came to this country
in December last with 400 head of fine
goats and now he has something over
600 head after selling off some. Good
business, eh J.?
Mr.. James Kelley killed two bear
few days ago over on the Apache and
says that he shot another one three
timos and thinks that be killed it. He
was out yesterday with his dogs trying
to find it. Mr.. Kelley is an old bear hunt
er from Texas and il they knew him as
