VIRGIN DISTRICT BUSY.

Fonopah is we'll represented wher-
ever there is anything in the way of
mining, and It does not necessarily
follow that It is gold or silver mining
either. There Is a colony over in
The Virgin oil fields, and reports from
there indicate that some Of them are
doing very well. r. e. Tilden, Unit
ed States deputy mineral surveyor,
returned from the oil fields on Sun
day and says that the district is i
very busy one. He says that there
are at least sixteen wells going down
TO get the lower oil strata, and that
there will be many more as soon as
the tools car he got in.
III. II. Clark Is there with his
usual enterprise said Mr.. Tildel,
and he Is now in the East to buy
the best string of tools that is TO be
mad In Pittsburg. He is going to
SINK about twenty miles from Virgin
city. The Dave Martin well is down
about $50 feet, and has the first
strata of oil. The Bush brothers

Rosebud has been quiet like lear

Springfield and Durango Girl. and
separations are being made for the

eided not to do so on account OF
shelter conditions. They have made
a strike on the Durango Girl, which
is near the old Nevada Sulphur Com

But with the better classes in France there
is little opportunity for courship. In Paris
young unmarried girls go out occasionally
into society; in the provinces this is not al
lowed. When young man resolves on matri-
mony, and hears of young lady whose family
and circumstances are in every way suitable,
he makes informal Inquiries through a priest
some lady of her circle, about the girls do
mestic qualities-and amount Of dowry. This
last particular is of the highest Importance.
1t is rare for doweress girl to marry in
France, though the portions which wives. even
of the comfortable mdde-class, bring their
husbands only consist of a sum of three or
four figures. On receiving satisfactory infor-
nation the suitor who wishes to do the thing
in a decorous manner commits the affair to
some elderly woman, perhaps his mother or
aunt. This good lady hastens to acquaint the
girls family with the offer, and in her turn
informs them of the suitors unimpeachable
character and good circumstances.
Marriage is more difficult of accomplishment
in England from the fact that there is go
much red-tape attached to it. Most of our
customs have come from England though
born of earlier times. The best man. dates
back to the days of marriage by capture as
he helped the bridegroom to catch his bride.
Nor is this the only relic of the most ancient
of human institutions; for what was the hon

row. but rapid and hurried fight of bride and
bridegroom, rendered necessary by the anger
of an outraged father.
