P. celebrated the thirty-sec- on«l anniversary of the or«ler last Mon day night. There were about two hundred people present. A banquet was serve«!. The principal feature of the evening was an address by Prof. C. A. Hitchcock. The Ashland Steam Laundry began operations Monday with a large run of work. They deserve the highest degree of success. The Norris mine, owned bv J. H. Mar tin and C. F. Hasty, situated just west of Ashland at the head of Brittson gulch, shows evidence of being very rich. The mine started with a le«lge thirty inches wide and has now develojted into one of six feet. The ore betrays the presence of wire gold. There are now three men at work on the ledge. They have twenty-five tons of high grade ore on the dump; as soon as one hundred tons are mined, it will be milled at the Ash land stamp mill. Mr. Martin says that this ledge does not run toward the “Ashland.”
