Buck" Bates to Wed.

A number of invitations were
received by residents of our city
Monday announcing the marriage
at Los Angeles, CAL, on Wednes-
day, August 22nd, of Mrs. Cassie
May Reed to Mr.. George Syl-
vester Bates, better known to old
timers here as Buck" Bates.
To say the news of the wedding
was a surprise is putting it mild
ly and many puzzled faces were
to be seen trying to figure out
who George Sylvester was but
when it finally filtered into their
craniums that it was just plain
old Buck" their amazement
knew no end. But who would
have thought that Buck" was
burdened with such euphoneOus
cognomen as George Sylvester.
After getting over their surprise
several begun to make prepara-
tions to go down and see Buck"
jump the broom stick but thought
in time about "Joe, the Barber"
coming to town that night with
his show and much to their re-
gret, had to postpone the trip.
However, they all feel for
Buck" and wish him a mighty
happy married life and were
they able to attend the festivities
would make him realize it to the
fullest extent.

Another Rich Strike at Florence

Another rich gold strike has
been made at Florence in the
old 'Hiyu" tunnel where a ledge
assaying $4,000 to the ton has
been discovered. A rich strike
was made there a couple weeks
ago on the "Old Residenter"
claim and the new strike is in
about the same charac-
ter of ore. The old 'Hiyu" tun-
mel was driven in 1876 and
abandoned a few years later.
About 8 feet beyond where the
tunnel stopped the new owners
uncovered the rich ledge last
week while doing assessment
work and it is thought the ore
will prove much richer at a low
er depth. Owing to the two. dis
coveries many miners are flock
ing into the Florence section.
Mrs. A. L. Creelman is report
