Robert Neely returned from Sil
verton last week where he has been
for some days on mining business.
While there he secured a bond and
lease ot the Parnell lode, owned by
John Lonergan, Miss Eliza Loner
gan and Mrs. Geaney of Silvertoh.
The consideration is SIO,OOO. It is
also stipulated that the mine shall
be worked continuously during the
period mentioned in the lease, two
years. Itisregarded asan excellent
property and can be worked very eas
ily. Itisafree gold proposi!'ion and
with what little developméint it has
had—about 150 feet—has shown up
remarkably well. The quartz aver
ages sls per ton, and Mr. Neely
believes that it will improve. Hei
will put a 15-stamp mill upon the‘
claim atonce and endeavor to get all.
t‘lter,e is in the proposition.—Ophir

———————
What is most needed at present
in Montezuma county, it is claimed:
by many who profess to know, is
a flouring mill. There is a splen
did opportunity for some one look
ing for a good paying investment.
We have but one mill in the coun
ty, which is located at Cortez, the
county seat, and this mill is doing
a magnificent business. Wheat is
raised in the valley, and also of a
first-cliiss quality. A flodring mill
located in or around Dolores could’
be run five months in the _year by
cither water power or steam, as the
Dolores river runs through this
great agricultural valley,
e e e
With this, the fifst issue of the
SILVER STAR, we call attention to
the most liberal advertising patron
age from, the, merchants and busi
ness meg of, Dolares. ,It is certainly
mo#t ericouraging in every sense.
And this alfo goes to show that be
ing liberal in their support for a
paper, that there is bright prospect
for the town of Dolores, with such
business stien at the helm. We are
here to stay,
|g€ G e
~ Rev. E. Buck's subject for next
iSunday evening, at the Congrega
tional church, at Cortez will be
*‘The Savior's Tears Over the Sin:
ners’ Loss. Text, Luke; 19:44, 42.‘
gThe church has a new choir and a
new string band, who has charge of
the program of fine selections every 1
Sunday “evening: Hverybody if
vited to these services, Christ says:
!‘Those who will endure to the end
will wear the efown of life.”” M.

An Important Measure.
The goverment bill to prolibit
the importation 'of foreign prison
made goods in England issaid to be.
the shortest ever introduced in par
liament. It consists of less than
fifty words, and simply provides
that goods proven to the satisfaction
of commissioners of customs by evi
dence tendered to them to have been
'made or produced, wholly or in part,
in any foreign prison, jail, house of
correction or penitentiary, shall be
prohibited from admission to the
country. The measure is the out
come of an active agitation on the
part of organized labor against the
extensive importation of numerous
articles made in the prisons of Ger
many and other countries.
Meeting of Democratic Clubs.
President Black announces the
conipletion of the executive com
mittee of the national association of
Democratic clubs 'at Washington. |
‘His statement shows that the menl
chosen gave loyal support to Bryan
and the Chicago platfom in the cam
paign. A call for the commitee to
meet in Washington on April 12has
been issued. Mr. Bryan will attend.
Struck It at Red River. ‘
Through all last winter's slorm Jack
Benn worked on a high mountain spur
of Black mountain about which cluster
the Estella, Jay Hawk and Golden Treas
ure mine on Red river about three
fourths of a mile.from the smelter in
pioneer gulch. His . . cqn-~veadue his boén
rewarded. For loverm“dlyl past he has
been encountering a mineralized streak,
while running a tunnel. Lust week he
encountered a genuine tellurium streak
which will assay over SIO,OOO per ton.
The pay streak is about two and one
half inches wide. and the town is wild
over the strike, which is genuine in every
particular. The property is being nego
tiated for now, and will probably be
tied up at once, as Mr. Benn has many
other equally promising properties, and
desires to realize. Some Las Vegas
people are interested with him,
There is a growing sentiment all over
the country that any man who refuses to
pay his debts is not fit to be employed in
any public capacity, and the rule ought
tobe enforced. Where such arule, will
work a hardship once it will dtop the ca.
| reerof the dead beat twenty times. People
who honestly intend to try and pay their
debts will have no difficulty in establish
ing that fact. Those whose lives are
given up to beating their way should be
spotted and the honest mun given the
preferenc every time, Loth in public and
private life.—Del Norte Prospector.
Dolores is at present very badly
in need of a new depot amd ftore
room. Dolores certainly is desery
ing of this addition, as the freight
and passenger traffic demands it.
Besides a depot with waiting rooms
would be of great convenience to
passengers awaiting the arrival of
trains, Then again, it would add
to the appearance of the town. The
compuny hasa friost beautiful site
reserved; The freight and passen
ger discharge at Dolores is as large
as that of other towns along the
line which have all those conven
iences; Jet us hope.

Union Literary Society Meet.
The editor had the pleasure of
;'being present at the Union Literary
Imeeting last Saturday evening and
was certainly highly pleased. Re
iyprt of the previous meeting was
read and approved, and the society
:thcn proceeded to business in good
style. Program for the evening fol
lowed, Reading, recitations, his
torical exercises and speeches were
iindulged in. All participants proved
themselves above the standard in
everything they had undertaken on |
this occasion. Among them were
E. B. Garlinghouse, Benjamin Suth
erland, L. A. Westlake and Cham
pion Montgomery. The last named
gentleman is an eccentric comedian
and he creates laughter every time
he opens his mouth., He speaks
fluently and carelessly and makes
an argument that is very interest
ing. _E. B. Garlinghouse deserves
special mention, as he is very cool
and collected in every sentence he
‘utters, Mr. Sutherland needs no
praise, as every one who knows
him can come to a determination as
to how he carried himself. Mr.
Westlake, editor of the society pa
per, read before the literary, was a
creditable edition, and he also de
serves great credit. All other par
ticipants deserve like praise, but
space in this issue will not permit a
detailed account.
The literary closed with a ‘‘mock
trtat; ~ winich was- usuctc better and
more laughable than a farce come
dy. The members of the society
acquitted themselves credibly.
The subject chostn for the meet
ing next was: “Which has been
most beneficial to mankind, the
printing press or the steam engine.”’
