Nome year ago last May, arrived
home Wednesday His wife and chill
dren, who have been living with her
mother Mrs. Phoebe Spencer, we're
not expecting him, and she had started
that morning for their ranch on Mead

from Brunean. and beef buyer, TO
dispose of some cattle, and is not home
yet or apprized of her husbands arri-
val If she could see the many rare
and beautiful presents aud Alaskan
curiosities her husband has brought

VIM. II. Maher of Soldier creek aud
Pleasant Valley was up here during the
early part of the week getting acquaint-
ed with his youngest granddaughter,
the little Miss Eewis, born last week,
and Incidentally to take Mrs. Maher
back home. 1t was interesting to get
him into discussion with other old
timers as to which of them came to
Silver City first, aud who built the first
house in Silver City. There is VIM.
Humphrey, William Gabriel, George
Gilmore, w. H townsend, w. I'll. Ma
her and the venerable Peter Corners
and the two Mesdames Crete, and per-
haps several others still in the county
who came here as early as '65, and all
of them have excellent memories OF
early events, but will not agree as to
who built the f1rst house here. What an
interesting subject it would be to have
one Of them write out the early history
of Silver City.

all except seven or eight dollars. I'll
nally, the day before, he had gone int
the saloon and played seven-up will
Olson at SO game until he was ahea'
nine gam s, no money being put up be
cause they we're in the barroom an,
some one might come in and see tn
money on the table. Then he wen
into the back room and played stu,
poker at Baltazor's table until he los

and asked Olson for the amount b
