Last Thursday We paid a short visit to Esan
Canyon, snd through ths courtesy of Fore
man Frank Hallo we'll were taken through tho
tunnel and shown the several prospecting
drifts. all Of which give fair promise to ut no
distant day reveal IN Ing ore bodies. Since
the company started up last October their
aim has boon 10 find the lost ledge.
and in this thsy have succeeded. We saw
somo good streaks Of ore. but as yet the veins
are not large enough TO Indicate a supply suf-
Hcient to start up the mill. and this, We learn,
will not be done until larger ore develop
meuts are made. Twenty-ane MN are no"
engaged in the work of exploration.

A Hamilton correspondent of the Eureka
Leader says that Oliver Drake, who has
been running the Eberhardt and Aurora mill
for the past year on t%ailings. has failed. with
liabilities at about $1,000. and is settling
with his employees at the rate of 10 per cent.
II is q very heavy blow on the camp, and one
that will be keenly felt. Men who have been
working at the mill for the past two months
without pay will receive about $50 apiece,
with which to pay their town and board bills
and get out OF the country. The business
firms Of Hamilton will lose from $500 20 81, i0)

At the Star Mine.

In company with Sheriff Raum, we took a
trip to the Star mine last Tuesday afternoon,
and found the surroundings much larger than
we expected. There are two commodious
boarding houses. one kept by Mrs. Hemers-
ton and the other BY Dir. I. A. Parker. Two
saloons, kept in frst-class style by Frank
Fenson and Geo. McWilliams, furnish liquids
for the thirsty miners. Lower dow n the hill
are quite a number Of dwelling houses and
miners cabins.
We found everything about the mine rum
ming in the usual good order. and a large
quantity of fne-looking ore on the damp.
The workings are now down between 800 and
100 feet, and more powerful machinery will
have to be erected before 9 much greater
depth can be attained. There Is, however,
much virgin ground above this point which
yet remains to be explored. and the tannel
which Is now being driven is expected TO open
up valuable ore deposits. in which case the
present hosting works may prove ample for
q long time TO come. The present showing OF
ore in the mine Is sufficient to run the com
pany's mill for twenty months without further
Developments. The. ore is different from any
We have seen in the state, though miners say
It is very similar to that found in Austin.
The present outlook for the Star mine is Sec
ond TO none other in the State. and its affairs
here are ably and economically managed.

A number Of the friends Of Mr.. F. A. Par

A Man for the Occasion.

Yesterday afternoon Woodward Av-
enue car was rolling along with fourteen
passengers holding down the hard seats,
when a woman suddenly called out that
her pocket had been picked. The only
person that did not seem stunned by the
announcement was q lathy individual
with blind eye and legs which showed
clear across the aisle and under the op-
posite seat. He rose up like clockwork,
pulled the door shut and said:
"I'ye been right here before, and
there's only one way to do this business.
Every man must empty his pockets. I'll
lead off. Here's awallet with nothing
in it, comb, three buttons, knife and
bottle of cough medicine. The finger
of suspicion pints at all of us. Anybody
who refuses to shell out will be looked
upon as the guilty party. Now, then"
Two or three men began hauling
knives and keys ont of their pockets, but
Just then the tall man discovered the
lost portmonnaie ON the floor.
Suspicion has ceased to pint, he
said, as he.sAeld it up and opened the
door. LADIES and gentlemen, let me
congratulate you on your honesty, and
also warn you against trusting to ap-
pearances. / was dead sure that the
Fat man over there was the pickpocket,
but you see how -"
"Sir, you are vi1ainI" roared the
passenger.
Yes, 1 thought he had it in his boot
leg, but his looks"
"And III knock your head off, sirl
Some one hold this dozen of eggs for

"But his looks belle him. He might
take chickens, but he would never -.

Dancing Pilgrims of Germany.

Not far from those places of rendez-
vous for all nations of the civilized
world spectacle has been attracting
the curiosity of thousands, which leads
us back to the depths of the Middle
Ages, although it is repeated year by
year. / am speaking of the village OF
Echternach and its far-famed dancing
procession. .--
From IL, ,0O0to 10000 pilgrims assem-
BILE on some meadows within Prussian ter
ritory, but close to the confines of the
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The in
habitants of different villages-men and
women apart-collect behind their cler-
gyman, and band of musicians is
placed in the front. As the clock strikes
five on Tuesday morning in WhitSuntide
priest walks up the steps of rude
wooden pulpit, and thence addresses the
multitude, then already swollen to an
incredible extent by sight-seers, who
come by special trains and every imags
Unable vehicle to be present at the per-
formances. 10
The community which happens to be
nearest the road stands forth, preceded
by their priest, who, however, does not
dance! Two men or two women hop
away first, two steps in advance, and
then one backward, the band playing a
most monotonous tune. abraham
had seven sons, seven sons; seven sons
had Abraham" are the words of this
terrible melody, which each successive
set, as they join the procession, take
up with increasing vigor. Hour after
hour passes away before the last people
have started on their miles of way to
the foot of the Church of st. Willebrod,
when they go up fifty steps, round and
round the altar, and finally descend the
fifty steps.
Nothing can exceed the excitement
and exhaustion among the dancers, old
and young. Great are the numbers of
those who, in spite of an occasional
draught of water offered by charitable
bystanders, sink down on the grass or on
the dusty road not to rise for hours.
The question is naturally asked: What
does all this meanP The answer is (:
1t is intended to perpetuate the remem-
brance of frightful epidemic of st.
Vitus' Dance, which carried off hun
dreds of victims in the neighborhood re-
ferred to sometime during the fifteenth
century; to offer up prayers and vows
to the patron saints; to recognize a
miraculous cessation of the epidemic,
and it is ful6llment of vows there made
that, in gratitude, there should be yearly
dances performed-two hops forward
and one backward, as closely resembling
the visitation from which Heaven had
delivered them as rhythm and good
taste would allow.
During the French occupation in 1898
the procession was forbidden, but the
easy-going Dutch Government of Lux
embourg have allowed it to be revived.
To judge from what could be seen this
year of the drunkenness and debauch-
cry in the numberless public houses fire.
quented by the pilgrims after their long
fastings and eXertions, am inclined to
think it would have been better to have
continued the prohibition.-Berlia Cor.
