"Better lato than never" is a good proverb, and we give its sentiment a chance tor once. The weather has been mixed in the usual Cottonwood style, more bad than good. "Old Probabilities" ought to emigrate to this plaoe to bo eured permanently of making prognostications on the weather. weath-er. One week would make the "old man" crazy trying to ohange his bets. The Emma Is still on its repairs; They have raised but little ore, as they are now using the shafts for recovering waste and letting down timbers. They shipped but seventy fivo tons during tho week. The Flagstaff I Continues to produce ore in largo quantities. Their average shipments nave been fifty tons per day, and will soon inoreaee to one hundred. The Tnllejo Shipped about fifty tons, but has stopped its shipments on account of the water in the shaft, which will soon be remedied. The Davenport Has shipped one hundred tons. As I soon as the snow disappears it will increase its shipments to at least fifty iuub uany. W. B. Smith has resigned his position posi-tion as superintendent of the Davenport. Daven-port. He is en route to New York, and is succeeded by Joe Farren, a former for-mer resident of Austin, and well known in mining circles on the coast. He is well posted, and evidontly knows his business. Smith takes with him the heartfelt wishes of thia community for bis prosperity and happiness. May he live long and be oarried on the top wave of luok. The Grizzly Has shipped about thirty tons. It has discontinued shipping on account of the tramway not being in order. . The Wellington Shipped none during the week, but commences this week, JUlicellancoua. There will soon be largo shipments of ore from this camp, as there were large accumulations of it on the dumps of plenty of our mines that have not shipped any Binoe the olose of last season. Among the many that deserve notice is tho Cashier, located on Emma Em-ma Hill. It is developed by a tunnel twenty-two feet in length, showing twenty inches of ore. There are fifty sacks of ore on tho dump roady for shipments. Spring Fights have opened, and AHa is now beginning begin-ning to put on tho garb of mining civilization. No one has bean severely hurt during tbo week, and wiih the exoeptioD of black eyes and scratches, no barm has been done. There were a few arrests made, but the results are not even deemed worthy of local interest. New Buildings And the renovation of old ones is the order of the day. The oarpenters are kept busy, and the only want that is not supplied fast enough is lumber. We would suggest that pome benevolent benevo-lent individual send us up a cargo of assorted Bizes of redwood and pine; there is money in it. We ohroniole tho opening of a New Saloon Kept by Gridiey & Pbilbrooks. Thoy have a neat and commodious room, and are evidentally doing a good business. They opened on Sunday night last, and everything went on as merry as two marriage bells, until a a slight misunderstanding took place between two somebodies, when a shot was fired, according to Gunthcr, which i becamo very near being tyuick in its results; the shot was accidental, and no harm resulted except an arrest and some hard feelings. The threats of drunken men aro generally more honored in the breach than tho observance. ob-servance. Blusters A Kgau Gave an opening on Saturday evening last. Thoy have refitted their old plaoe of business, and have now one of the finest and most tastofully decorated saloons in Alta oity. Thoy have a little music for the boys a band of three consisting of two violins and a clarionet. that discourseth'Bweetly and sometimes harmoniously. llnrlow V King Took a "new departure" on Sundoy evening, by transforming their saloon into a church. Servioes were held by Kev. T. P. Schell. Ho was listened to by an admiring audience. It is to be hoped that the boys profited by his teachings I did. We would respectfully respect-fully ask Harlow & King, if this sort of thing is going to continue ? when, by a little judicious advertising, they can secure large audiences. Tbero are several other parties that are making improvements here, but until things assomo a more settled appearance, wo will desist from compliments. compli-ments. We give it as a report that our genial friend, Bill Fairfield, has sold out his right, ti'.le and interest in the singe line between this plaoe and Granite. It is not a lone line, but it is a good one; and Mr. Fairfield cannot can-not be beat for accommodation or generosity.
