 Arranging for Fair.-A conference of several leading merchants was held one day last week, and considerable spirit was aroused toward putting on a fair in Birmingham this fall. The meeting took definite form, and it was given out that within a few days active steps would be, taken to absolutely ac- eomplish the end.

 Serious Cutting Afray.-Mack Hozier and Will Wells. two white men, be- came involved in quite a serious cut ting affray on the southside yesterday afternoon.

Wells Is not fatally cut Hozier is being held at the city jail on a charge of assault with intent to murder. Wells is being detained on a charge of affray.
 Working on Wires.-The heavy wind storm of Friday, which broke several telephone and electric light poles in First alley at Seventh street, wrought great havoc among the wires. Ever since a half hour after the poles were broken a large force of men has been working day and night to repair the damage and 1t will probably be several days before it Is finally completed. The poles broken carried an exceptionally large number of wires and cables many of which were snapped in two when the poles broke.

Teller county, Colorado, for several
years, and was one of the most pop

ago he received the Democratic NOM

had been too brief a time in the

the campaign made against him
which was in strong contrast to the
clean and gentlemanly manner in
which Mr.. Mannix made his canvass

The county of Nye is fortunate in

The question no longer is heard:
Is there gold in Manhattan" but
what is now being asked is: "How
much gold is there in Manhattan"
1t appears to be hard question to
answer and only estimates are given.
Mining men of experience who have
been over the ground are backward
in stating that there is an unlimited
amount of gold there, and perhaps
then some. An easterner rode down
the gulch recently, past scores of
the 'diggins," where nuggets were
being washed out, and he eXcitedly
exclaimed that there was million
dollars to every mile. AS the gulch
is over thirteen miles long 1t c
readily be seen that the easterner's
estimate of the placer possibilities
was indeed a big one. 1t is a known
fact, however, that everywhere a
shaft has reached bedrock gold has
been found, and only time will tell

During my absence | had many
inquiries regarding the camp, which
in a measure, tends to show that the
outside world is keeping its eyes on
us, and that it is realized that we are
to have a great district, with proper
development. When we have the val
ues to show, it is an easy matter to
attract the attention of capital, as
has been evinced by the many inter
ests lately acquired in the placers;
and as we now have the values. see
no reason why conditions should not
improve very rapidly.
THE recent development on Union
8 is very important, and should it de-
velop with depth, as we hope, and
the operations on the other end of
the claim, under the management OF
Mr.. Lamb, which will begin during
the current month, open up the ex-
pected ore bodies below the water

On the lease being operated by
Jack Sherman, on the Fairview
claim, the shaft lis down fifty feet,
where gravel was encountered. AS
the pay dirt was just broken into, no
estimate can be made as yet to it's
value
A button worth $1.40 was made
from five paintings from gravel from
the Memo Extension ground, owned
by the Smith brothers, which shows
that the pay dirt is worth close to
$50 per yard, and is one of the big
gest propositions in the gulch.
At the Stanley Clifford-Swendsen
mine the work of putting in bins and
additional sluices and pumps has
been completed and hosting and
washing the gravel is again in opera

gravel in the west drift is in pro.

A.. G. Raycraft, president and gem
eral manager of the Manhattan Dex-
ter Mining company, returned to
camp last week, after an extended
stay at VALLEY Springs, where he
went for relief from rheumatism.
Mr.. Raycraft was found at the Of
fee of the company, busily engaged
in the installation of set of wireless
telegraph instruments, which are to
be used between this point and Ton
opah, where he has similar set of
Instruments.
Mr.. Raycraft's wireless stations
will, it is believed, be the pioneer in
stallation of this new industry in the
state of Nevada, but will not be used
commercially.
When asked his opinion in regard
to the camp, he said:
1T is, indeed, pleasant surprise
to return and see the renewed activ-
ity that is prevalent. To one inter
ested in the camp it is decided ton
ic; and while had read the glowing
