party Of emigrants from Colorado
passed through DeLamar last week, on
their way to Oregon. There we're three
or four wagons altogether, and they
camped a short distance below town, in
order that boy, who had become sick
with typhoid fever, might be under the
doctors care for day or SO.
Mrs. A. r. sothern leaves Thursday,
for Goldfeld, Nevada to pay her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Harvey Brown, visit. Mr.
sothern left DeLamar some time ago for
his claim on Quicksilver Mountain.
All is in readiness for the ball-game
with Silver City, next Sunday. The De-
Lamar team worked hard until they had
finished the backgrounds, and now a
little snappy practice every evening isput-
ting them in fine trim for the oncoming
fray. Silver will learn that DeLamar is
still on the map and the nine cantos of
baseball will probably be as exciting as
either the Silver or the DeLamar fans
have witnessed for some time.
