JEROME.

The Ostrander-Reed Lumber com
pany Of Jerome and Wendell is bring
ing in large quantities of material. All
the stuff is shipped through Shoshone
by wagon.
jerome will try once more to defeat
Shoshone on the base ball diamond, the
second game occurring Sunday, May 3.
Jerome came close enough the first
game to give the county seat team
cold shivers up and down the back. and
the Sagebrushers believe that they
can defeat them at the next meeting.
Quite . number of Jeromeites viii
attend
CA. Pratt, lately of Ontario, Oregon,
has come to Jerome and is improving
his fine 100 acre farm near town. He is
hauling lumber for the Ostrander-
company part of his spare time.
Major Reed and Governor Gooding
were Jerome visitors the first of the
week, starting from Gooding Sunday.
The Governor was agreeably surprised
at the growth of the town since the
October opening.
Major Reed has let the contract for
the building of so foot front store in
Wendell, for Roy Keefe, of Chicago.
Mr.. Keefe will have the place ready
for occupancy early in the season.
Several of the claim owners near
town, among them being c. A. Pratt,
the Ostrander- Reed colony and others,
have been getting together on the
question of putting down well in their
locality that will serve for a domestic
supply for the whole community. Mr..
Pratt. who years ago hauled water in
Colorado for seven or eight miles for
house use, says that it would be pic
mic to have to haul it only a mile or two.
Two new store buildings are to be
built in jerome in the near future, one
of them being already in course of con-
struction. There is large buying
population tributary to Jerome, and the
need of stores is becoming more and
more urgent.
Jerome is becoming justly noted for
the excellent water furnished by the
city well. No mountain spring that
ever flowed produces finer water than
that from the Jerome well. Coming
through miles of COOL subterranean
channels, free from surface con-
tamination. unvarying in temperature,
il is the greatest boon town ever had.
It's almost worth tramp clear across
the sage brush desert to get one drink
of the jerome water.

ake Lay on
 Midnight Sun

J. Fred Struthers and J. John Dwyer have taken lay on $50 feet of the Mid night Sun association, Sullivan creek, and will immediately take steps to work the ground on an extensive scale.
 They will place small plant on the ground to prospect, after which, if the outlook justifes, the large plant which they have here will be installed, and a big dump taken out before spring.
 The. ground upon which the lay is taken adjoins that part of this claim where the exceedingly rich pay was struck last week, and if these gentle men can hit the same streak they will have an opportunity to clean up large sum of money for their winters work.

SLU|CE BOX
 ROBBERY ON
 ESTERCREEK

Although the matter had peen kept quiet in hopes of apprehending the thieves, it was yesterday learned that d sluice box robbery had occurred on the Erickson fraction, Alb. Ester creek, on the night of the 18th, the thieves having utilized the sno o~storm to hide their tracks and cover their movements. The matter affects more than the own- CTS of the ground itself, for the crew were engaged in taking out their own wages-Carlson, the layman, having recently turned over the workings to the foreman and the men in order that they might take out enough to pay themselves, as the operations of the summer had not proved profitable.
 How much the robbers secured can not be exactly determined, but judging from the way the ground has been run ming, it was in the neighborhood of 200 ounces-a weeks run for eight men. The robbers began work in thorough manner, taking up the two first rifles in the dump box, and cleaning this sec tion up thoroughly. These two rifles catch practically all the gold dumped into the box. The crew is still at work in an effort to catch up with their wages. So far no arrests have followed the robbery, although it is claimed that the supposed thieves are being closely Aatched.-Tanana Tribune.

After Others
 WoodpiIes

There are number of the residents in this city who make it 8 regular rule never to buy wood but to get most Of their fuel from their neighbors' wood piles.
 This practice has grown so general lately, that those who are in the habit of buying wood are growing tired of it, and someone is going to be arrested sooner or later. This week a South side resident came out of his house in time to see one of these persons walk ing off with an armful of his wood. For reasons of his own he said nothing but is now waiting to catch him again in which case the Commissioner will have some work to do.

Anxious About

The people of Sullivan creek are commencing to grow anxious about the postoffice at Tofty which was promised them last summer.
 Everything necessary to the estab- lishment of an office, even to the sign ing and approval of the postmaster's bonds was attended to last fall and they feel that it is nearly time some action was taken regarding the office at that place.
 There is certainly growing neces- sity for an office on Sullivan and it's speedy. establishment would prove of great convenience to the miners on the creek.
