Show BEAVER CANYON SPICE. Editor Leader:-Once more I think that the new arrivals and general news of the camp justifies a letter from here to your valuable paper. Bishop W. F. Rigby arrived here on the 6th and has commenced operations by getting the old Van Noy saw mill ready for business. The Bishop is a rustler and when he starts in, something happens. Miss Maggie Rigby came up with her father on Tuesday and was gladly welcomed by her numerous friends here. The dark winter will now be lit up by the sun light of her smiles, and life in this remote region will now be more bearable for all. The value of youth and beauty, like that of precious stones, is enhanced by its scarcity. Mr. Frank Basset has had his whiskers and mustache cut off and now the burden of his prayers is that "the wind may be tempered to the shorn lamb." The smiling countenance of Ethan Van Noy is again seen on our streets; he comes up on business connected with the firm of Van Noy & Co. ?? looks ?? and hearty. Guess the change from Idaho pork and ?? Utah beef steak and plum pudding agrees with him. This is the gist of what was heard at a suburban cottage not long since. He from her tried to steal a kiss, But modest sense imbued her; "Away!" she cried "I'll none of this!" But the villain still pursued her! Van Noy & Co. now have 17 or 18 men working for them. W. N. Thomas has about as many, and altogether our city is quite lively. Six citizens of our progressive village sat up all night, not long since, playing poker for a dollar. They drank eight dollars worth of whisky and smoked two dollars worth of cigars and then had to "whack up" the dollar. The Lyceum gives a dance every Tuesday night and a debate every Friday night. The object of the society is mutual improvement. Mr. Ernest Bassett, brother of Basset Bros, of this place, is visiting his friends and relatives here. More anon.
