'cutter" whiskey, for he amies! him
self with a huge knife and announc
ed bis intention of carving Teller
into small particles. He was no
doubt in such a state that he knew
not one man from another, for the
first 'rsoi. he U-gau operations up
on was an old gentleman named
Stevenson, whom McDonald met on
the street and assaulted and then
ran. Stevenson thought he had re
ceived onlv a slight cut on the head
and went into the ball wherea dance
was in progress, which was not far
from the place where he as attack
ed. Then it was found that his
right car bad Iteen completely sev
ered A physician was summoned
and the missing npjteiidago found,
but the member was then cold, and
grafting it to the stub was out of the
tiestion, so that Mr Stevenson will
have to get along through life as
Itost he can, short of the usual hear
ing apparatus.
McDonald was arrested by the
tow n marshal and placed in the new
calaltoose, but his preliminary hear
ing bad not taken place yet when
the last news was received. It is
hoH'd, however, that he will meet
the punishment ho so riehlv merits.

to be a sailor, and could gel full on

any ermn here, and at the fsanio
lime make more noise with his
mouth. The whiskey he obtained
here, however, did not appear to lie
of tho fighting variety, and no dis
turbance was raised to mar the
jtenco and harmony of our quiet
town.

That the riuenix uiinc, eny the
linker City Democrat, situated in
thu ISobiusonvillu district, is a vor
iiinuuiit itrotorty is no longer n
matter of speculation, but like tho
majority of other Maker county
I mines, has proven a jvorniancnt
, lodge. .Mr. A. Hector, who is cm
ployed at thu l'lnenix, was in thu
city yesterday and to a Democrat
reK)rter states! that tho lodge had
' been exposed at a depth of 270
, feet, and a lino Ixxly of ore, four
feet wide, was presented to view.
I The tunnel which tups the lodge at
I this depth is 2oU feet long. The
' upper tunnel is IlllO feet long and
, tap the lodge at a depth of 200
feet. At this depth the h-vlge is
four feet solid ore and as it has
been demonstrated that the ledge
is of thu wmie width at 270 feet
theio is no telling where thu ledge
erds.
Tho l'lnenix is indeed, n good
mine, but tho Democrat must re
member that it is in (! runt county,
as also arc a number of other rich
mines in the vicinity. Maker City
newsjiajH-rs can chiitti them for
Maker county, but remember vvhat
