THE ERWIN,

The Philadelphia Company will
employ eight men on the Erwin
mine, on Warm Spring Creek,
thraugh the winter, and have all
necessary snppliea now on hand for
that purpose, Until the lst instant
twenty-seven men were employed
on this mine, but the present force
is rs large as can be worked with
practicability, BY the LIST of May
between thirty and forty men will
be employed in stopping, developing,
etc. Six hundred tons of ore now
on the dump belonging to the
Erwin will be shipped to the Com
panyis smelter as soon as the roads
will permit in the spring. The heavy
snow fall about Boyle Mountain on
the lst Of October, coupled with the
fact that teams could not be had at
reasonable rates, prevented the
company from moving the ore thi:
fall. All posted parties agree il
placing the Erwin among the bes
developed properties Of Warn
| Spring Greek district. Three hun
dred tons Of ore reduced at the com
pany's works at ketehum the pas
summer yielded "a tons of lead an
15,2 53 ounces of silver.

Magnificent Miss Stanley.

1t was a pretty scene. Tall, forest
trees, with shining foliage, green
hedges and lawn, and a large pond
covered with rustic bridges and fan
tastic ornaments. A young girl sat
in reclining posture upon the grass,
watching the goldfish as they APP
reared from time to time upon the
surface of the water. She was not
pretty, but there was something very
piquant and pleasing in the expires
sion of her face, which was unusual
ly serious for one so young. The
day was warm and sultry, and she
was Just sinking into a quiet slumber,
when a little dog sprung towards her,
barking shrilly.
why YOU little horrid thing!'
she exclaimed. II wonder if your
master Is as homely as you are.
You can Judge for yourself miss,
said a voice close beside her; and
springing to her feet she was con-
fronted by tall, good-natured-lOok-
ing young man, who, although not
very handsome, was by no means I'm
sually homely either. "Well, what
do you think, he asked, as she stood
staring at him in utter amazement.
Il think you are very bold to in
trude in this way" she said at last,
making a very palpable effort to be
digni6ed and indignant.
"Intrude? Now that is pretty
cool, considering 1 am on my own
ground"
Are you Mr.. Gresham"
II had no doubt Of it until this
moment. Are you Miss Stanley?"
"OA, my! no-what an ideal l

"Not young LADY," he repeated,

"A little grip"
''Yes. How can l be anything
else when l have three unmarried

in an aggrieyed tone, which made
him laugh heartily.

''IndeedI Then if you are the

at the head before him, crowned
with bands of shining chestnut col
ored hair.
"And the loveliest blue eyeS!'
81 prefer brown" he said again,
looking straight into the soft, liquid
eyes of his companion.
"And she is so tall and elegant"
81 like little women best"
"Pshawl" she cried impatiently;
"you are just trying to fatter me!
You know that l am as homely
as"
"My dog" and then he laughed
again
GLOW you do laugh What

Because l am young, suppose.
And I wish that you would laugh

at brings an immense amount of
comfort, anyway. But Mrs. Simcox
is calling us"
A humber person than Miss Stan
ley would hardly have been satisfied
with Walter Gresham's manner to-
wards her. He was evidently i'm
pressed; but whether the impression
is favorable or not was somewhat I'M
certain. She attributed his reserve
to difidence, and rather admired
them as something desirable in a
young man. And when he sought
Amy's side and talked with her so
unreservedly Gas it appeared she
thought he did it out Of pure kind
ness, and appreciated him all the
more. Fortunately she did not hear
all the remarks in regard to herself;
and when she saw them together so
often afterwards, she still ascribed it
to his genuine good nature, and felt
no uneasincss what ever.
Mrs Simcox, however, did not
feel quite 50 well satisfied, and con-
cluded to speak to Miss Stanley in
regard to the growing intimacy be-
tween the young people.

Amy are together a great deal of the

is a good girl, obliging and pleasant;
but she seems little too attractive.
Walter is evidently very much

"She doubtless amuses him. She
is truly unsophisticated, and really
quite original in her ideas"
"And you are not afraid"
"Afraid? What should | be afraid
of"
"Well, perhaps am unnecessarily

but manly and dignifed."

"She has very good judgment al
though her experience is Of course

And Mrs. Simcox left her in
despair.
Soon after this, Walter was taken
sick with slow fever; and, almost i'm
mediately afterwards, Amy received
a message from home, desiring her
speedy return. She was obliged to
