DEPUTY SURVEYOR
REQUIRES BIG BOND
| Frank Henry has received noti
fication of appointment as deputy
U. S. surveyor for Rampart dis
trict.
j It develops that he will be re
quired to make a $10,000 bond
before entering on his duties. In
j a country like this, where real
! estate is held by possessory right
alone, a bond of that magnitude is
not easy to make. For the conve
nience of the public, however, it is
hoped the matter may be arranged.

TELLS A STORY
ON HIMSELF
While a crowd was sitting around '
the stove spinning yarns the other '
night Billy Crockett told one on
himself that is hard to beat.
“When I was a young fellow
looking for work I went to hotel
run by a Mr. Garrison and asked
for a job as porter. Mr. Garrison
looked me over and took in the full
details of my gothic style of archi
tecture, and said:
“ ‘Nature has not been very lavish
to you in the matter of fleshly
charms, but it has evidently in
tended you for some purpose, and
it is my opinion that purpose is to
perfectly adapt yourself to going up
a stepladder, crawling over a tran
som and opening a door in case of
suicide. ’ ’’
EUREKA CREEK
IS PROMISING
News was brought in this after
noon that Frank Brown and John
the Frenchman have struck pay on

Mr. Brown came to Rampart
from Cold foot two monts ago.
It looks now like Hureka would
have more paying claims on it than
any creek in the district.
