new work will probably Keep hlm rom around the mill entirely.
 Frank Steel who has been here some time. employed by the Copper company. has resigned to accept bet ter position with the Hercules Mer- cantile company. Mir. Steel will sue ceer Mir. Johnson as bookkeeper. the latter gentlemen having resigned. to take effeect early in May. Mir. John son seems to have made an exception ably large number of friends in camp during his few months stay here. Be- sides his business ability. he has been always a booster for anything the young people put on foot. and will be greatly missed. [
 The Easter Monday ball at Fay, which we think was intended as a squelcher to our famous St. Patrick hop. was a most decided success, and from reports given by bunch of Kelvin's best dancers who attended, we had a close call. Had Ray pos sessed our hall and piano. to be used in accompanying their stringed or chestra, why, our young folks tune may have been different, but we still claim the function of the season. We are surely quaking in our boots though. over that Masonic ball on the 22nd inst, which seems to be the set tied date. but our Irish say they will have to go some. Mentioning the Easter Monday ball. though. prior to the very great excitement Of the day is a little fast. The excitement. such as has not been experienced in our camp since it opened up. and the aero battle stunts of both man and beast, was all on the Hercules company. to whom We wish due credit given. Duke and Major. the handsome pair of de- livery horses owned by the above mentioned company. were directly re- sponsible for the blood-curdling stunts put up, but the Hercules put up the dough in the end. We are surprised, as such behavior among their nobility and gentlemen of rank. but it seems that the Duke has a sneaky feeling for his stall, and no matter how heav- fly loaded, when or where. he returns to the same without apparently the least provocation On Monday morn ing the Hercules driver left his team standing in front of the Kelvin Lum- Der company's office. with the small son of Mir. Edwards in the seat, hold ing the lines. Duke saw his chance we don't know what else-but, any how, he left the Major holding his own fairly well, but not being able to keep the pace. was considerably bang ed-up and is still out of commission. The miraculous comes in here. for
 
 per company's new lavatory building. one corner of which was badly splint- cred and dislocated. but he planted the wagon and his partner up against it so hard that the wagon was broken in the center of the running gear. The horses made a fresh and much speed fer start from this point, but the rear of the wagon, with the entire wagon bed. turned a complete upside down wards, catching the Edwards child. who had been bounced out of the seat into the wagon bed, under it The wagon Seat being d stationary one. elevated the bed at end where the child was. and prevented his being crushed. He only received one slight scratch, to the intense relief of many who were looking at him in his state of great danger, and fearing his cer- tain death
 We congratulate MT. and Mrs Ed wards, who have only been in our camp a very short while. as well as the young man. in their good luck. The team struck a telegraph pole just past the new lavatOry building. leaving one wheel at that point; then left the road again. and took directly over the Cole man hill to the Hercules store The Major Is reported as apparently hay ing quite a sufficiency at this point. but his high-title friend paid no at tention to his desires whatever. con- tinuing entirely around the Hercules corral and store. smashing a corner off one of the Sager tents and only being kept out of Manager McNeely's flower garden by the wild jesticuIa- tions of Mir. Nall and a Mexican, who were standing on the porch The fly ing wreck struck a horse tied at the porch. inflicting an ugly cut in one of its legs, but the lines were dragging at this point and were quickly caught by some one standing near the team, and all was off with the big Duke.
 Jake Bates and Pete went out in the evening with a batch of claim no- tices, hoping to locate the Hercules wagon, but nothing to speak of could be found; so the store had to wire to Phoenix for a new one
 From what the writer could gather yesterday. our friend. Mir Zachary. de- serves considerable credit for his rec ord-breaking sprint. made before the team struck the building, in a long chance attempt to catch them and save the child. Visions of a half mile Mar athon were indulged in by our sports. and if The Republican will offer a cup.- We will begin removing the cacti at once, if not sooner
 The claims owned near here by C. w. Mckee of Phoenix, and J. J. Maxie Of Kelvin are being worked haevily now, and certainly show up most gratifyingly.
 It IS in the wind that Mir. George Garrick. whose claims are located down the riveT a short distance below here. has made quite a sale of some Of his best property this week. We wish him the best of luck in the deal. Tor he is q worker and, beyond a doubt. has the ore on his claims.
