The men on the Bonne Terre Railroad had a pay-day Tuesday.
Frank SNOW went to
The F. & L. Union held its regular meeting, last Saturday night, two more
members being added.
S. C. BRAINARD, who has been prospecting for lead on his land, stopped for a
short time, having found nothing but a little black-jack zine.
Thomas LAPLANT, the wounded man, is recovering, through very slow; he will be
up again in about two weeks, providing he dont go out too soon.
John WEBER, our sawyer, has removed form where he was located, near FINKs on
Flucom creek. He and another man got into a fight, where hammers and handspikes
were used, and WEBER came out victorious.
I am informed that Joseph TURLEY and Mr. HORA are prospecting for lead on the
latters land with fair indications. It is also stated that Jay GOAHL has taken
steps to erect a saw mill near the farm of our aged friend, Mr. J. CAPE. I hope
he will go so, as the mill would be beneficial to the framers in that locality.
Valle Mines,
The wounded man is getting along as well as could be expected and will recover,
but there will be a big scar left to tell of the fight.
Snow fell last, Sunday afternoon of last week, and people here about thought
they were going to have Winter. This snow was instrumental in destroying the
insects that troubled the wheat.
Why didnt I write last week? Well, I did. I wrote my correspondence last week,
handed it to a friend and he neglected to mail it in time, and hence it did not
appear in your last issue. In future I will attend the mailing myself.
Valle Mines,
