On opening small package that
we received through the mail last
Monday We thought some Of our friends
had been sending us rare and unique
specimen of some kind. Not being
able to define the component parts we
called Oh Our friends, G.. N. William
son and 0. c. Schultz, the only availa-
bic scientific timber. They discussed
the mineralogical qualities. One said
it was peroxide OF iron impregnated
with ferruglnous, and there might oe
some jig sawite crossed with argilla-
ceaus perogerite, who was the king of
Siam and usually found near the North
Pole. Mr.. Schultz declared that it
was piece of corrugated sponge that
was. left out in the cold when Jacobs
mud volcano was swinging around
this neighboraood. Just then we
examined the box and found the fol-
lowing note: "This is cake. 1t is
not wedding cake. 1t issponge cake.
What makes it look so sad? We give
it up. Do you want to know how %
make sponge cake I? Ask at upper
Ninth street." The thought struck
us then that DR.. Cornell had tried to
make sponge cake out Of light air and
DR.. Prices baking powder, and when
the hot air struck the light air 1t fell
as fiat as a pan cake. Serves you
right, Doctor, you ought to live on
light air and Blacks dry biscuit all of
your life, because you will not send
for one of tho. e Iowa girls to COO; for

the dinner tables loaded down with
all OF the sumptuous viands and DELI

Of pleasing the most fasted,ous epicure.
After dinner the guests sauntered

The neighbors in our part of the
town are getting pretty clever. We
do not know whether it is their clever
ness or their sympathetic feeling to-
wards the poor, for we have been
subsisting on two meals day all winter
as a pecuniary compulsion, and if
winter was to .linger in the lap of k,ly
we doubt not if one meal would not
be surprise to our digestive organ.
On last Friday evening we were ,invi-
ted to join a card party at the residence
of Mr.. Louis Coffin and partake of
luncheon. We duly put in appearance
and found very pleasant company,
consisting of Mr.. and Mrs. Ayers,
Mr.. and Mrs. Colborn, Messrs S. P.
Spencer. N. D. Dewey and O. G.
Schultz. Whist seemed to be the
prevailing amusement. By and by
the lunch began to come which con-
sisted of numerous kinds of cake,
nuts, candies, fruits and ice cream.
the finest we ever smacked our lips
over in this country, all prepared in
that exquisite style which Mrs. Coffin
has made herself famous for. The
multitude round about did eat and
eat until they were too full for utter
ance, when FINALLY at the proper hour
they expressed their sincere thanks to
the hest and hostess, and went their
way rejoicing. The next day, Satnr-

The political caldron is beginning
to simmer among some few, while
the most of the people seem to care
very little about the matter or feel any
interest in the election. As far as we
can learn the entire old board will be
up Tor reelection. Mr.. Willet Rose,
in consequence Of his being absent in
New York, has withdrawn as candi-
date for mayor, which leaves the field
open for Dr.. Forhan with no opposi-
tion so far. We understand that there
will be three candidates for the city
astorneyship. Messrs. N. d. Dewey,

but Barlow is an old war horse and
when he goes inte battle instead of
making flank engagements he fires

The SIZE or OUR YEZlNS.

The SIZE or CUR VEINS.
We have been requested by some
eastern friends to give a sort of a sya-
opsis OF the producing mines in camp,
showing the amount of work done and
what the present showing as to the
width Of vein, richness etc. We will
try to do the best we can with this
subject although it is bad time ofthe
year to gather statistics, therefore we
do not know whether we can do JUS
tice to the subject, but in all events
we will not try to over estimate or
paint the subject in too high colors.
We will start in with the Ruby
Chief, which is the oldest location in
camp. Their present workings was
started last spring, which consists ofa
shaft ninety feet deep. At the bottom
of the shaft they have drifted east and
west on the vein, working in high
grade mineral all the time. The vein
is from eight to ten feet wide that
shows mineral all through it, but the
rich mineral is found in what is called
the pay streak which is from IS to IS
inches wide. The ore in the pay streak
is very rich, being ruby, brittle and
native silver, and it was estimated
few weeks ago when we visited the
mine that there was at least $50, 900
in sight.
We have given as specimen the
Ruby Chief, and will not go into
detail with the others, but will simply
say that the leads or quartz veins found
in this camp all vary in width from
ten feet up to hundred, and as a
rule there is more or less mineral
scattered all through the vein, but the
mineral in bulk or quantities is in
these pay streaks which vary in width
from one foot up to three, and it is
usually very rich. The mineral that
is found throughout the vein reduces
the grade of ore so that at present we
have not got the means to treat it, that
is the reason that there are hundreds
of tons of ore thrown over the dumps
that will mill forty or fifty ounces. 1t
is thought by some that as depth is
gained that this mineral which is scat
tered through the vein will concentrate
into one immense ore body or pay
streak.
Among the mines that have been
producers as we'll as the Ruby Chief,
are the Forest Queen, Ruby King,
Venango, Bullion King, Durango,
Lead Chief, and the Estes mine. Here
are eight mines that have been devel-
oped more than others and therefore
they rank as our first class properties,
but there are at least fifty prospects
that might be classed as second grade
only for the want of sufficient amount
of development to open them up and
make producing mines out of them.
We look for at least twenty or thirty
more properties besides the ones men
toned to become at least self-sustain-
ing if not yielding large profits to their
owners. There are such claims as the
Blue Bird, the Elk, Brittle Silver
King, Blind King, Little Frank,
Illinois tunnel, and a number of others
that have been vigorously worked all
winter. While these claims mention
ed are right near camp there are
Others in adjoining basins, as for in
stance the Lehigh Valley tunnel in
O-Be-Joyful Basin, the Gen'l. Sayles
property in Silver Basin, and Others,
all of which are bound to come to the
front this summer.
The neighbors in our part of the
