Muriel will depart for Colorado college to
resume her studies. Mrs. Hill will first
visit three months with her husband, who
is located at the Bruce mines, in Canada, and
is doing very nicely.
County Treasurer Charles Nicholas was
a visitor here last Monday He states that
it is true that the receipts for taxes this
year have been below normal and that the
list, in consequence, will be longer than
usual.and more profitable to the printer.
Last year he held the books open till late
to give everybody chance, but he said it
did little good. So this year he will have
the publication made early and trusts that
all who can will liquidate. This is a
straight tip.
While coming down Chicago creek last
Saturday evening Charles Miller was at
tackled by dog at the Elliott fish pond J,
with the result of badly mangled hand
Mr.. Miller secured some turpentine and
saturated the wound. The animal belongs
to Mr.. Olson, who has charge of the fish
pond, and this is the first complaint that
we have heard of his being vicious. Mr.
Miller is unable to account for the attack |
as he was quietly walking along the road
with two companions.
M. M. Sullivan, ST., is now operating in
quiet way in this district, and we look for
him to open up something good before long
He is man of wide mining experience,
having perfect familiarity with all the
prominent districts in the vast mining reg
ions of the United States He is we'll
known by the older residents here and in
Gilpin county. He was heavy operator
in Leadville when first discovered, and his
son who is here with him, was the first
white male child born in that camp.
D. J. Hooley was among the visitors
here Tuesday night. He reports that
Lawson is quite active and the prospects,
good for the future. Mr.. Hooley and
family are saddened at present by the,
condition of a niece, whose mind has,
been so affected by recent illness that,
she has been taken toa private sanitarium
near Denver. Strong hopes are enter,
tanned that the affliction will not be per-
manent Childbirth was the cause, and
the infant will be cared for by Mr. Hooley !
The Denver Post of Wednesday even-I
ing had an excellent picture of the mem

terest tagged. The mem bers are: Miss

Williamson and Bess Mallalieu.
w H. Johns came in from British
Columb bia Thursday, after an absence of
ten months. He reports that Mrs.
Johns, who has been i'll at Denver hos,
pital for some time, is recovering rapidly,
and will come to Idaho next week. His,
stay in the northwest was not as pro-
ductive as he would have wished it, the
mining possibilities not coming up to-
his expectations, but as farming coun-
try it cannot be excelled. He is now ap-,
parently satisfied to set his stakes in this
camp.
R. A. Hall, of the Denver, Yankee Hill
& Western, came in from the north
Wednesday afternoon, having made a,
horseback trip from Denver to American
City over the proposed line. He reports
everything moving along nicely with his
project, and that beyond question active
