A Promising Mine.

The Atherton mine, in Garfield dis
trict, is one of the promising mines Of
this section. For long time it has
been yielding very rich ore in quaint
ties which well pay for the working.
Considerable development work has
been done and in all directions the
mine looks well. A tunnel has been
lately started to open the mine below
the old workings. 1t is worked night
and day, and is now well IN toward
the main ore body. Even now occa.
sional punches of very good rock are
uncovered ond the indications are
very promising. From this tunnel a
wpze has been sunk eighty feet and
in this winze also pockets of rich ore
are found. It is expected that the
main ledge will soon he reached and
that an extensive body of ore will be
uncovered

a man WAS riding n donkey one day
across II sheep pasture, but when the

rode him back TO short distance,

knew it. But NOT SO. When the dom

A Long Time Between Dri n X 9.

Time seems like eternity to the man
who has just sworn that he will for
ever abstain from intoxicating bever-
ages. b Some of the boys are now
counting their minutes as hours, but
patience and resolution will pull them
through. Yesterday one of the Court
house boys, who was suffering the
almost intolerable apathy of an un-
stimulated system, was asked when he
took the pledge. He had taken his
last drink the day before, but his
answer illustrated the tedious eternity
of what seems to the reformed drinker
a hopeless nervous thirst. When the
question was asked he rejected mo-
mcnt, and then said, "About three
days ago, | think" 1t seemed to him
long time between drinks.

will then return TO Bodie in the event
his personal presence is required in
the Land Office, or for the purpose of

resignation to the President. In the
meantime the business of the Office

exception, therefore, Mr.. Clevelaud's
connection with this community is
severed. He has now been citizen
of Bodie nearly six years. When he
came here he was little more than a
boy. Four years ago be became one
of the founders of the Free Press, and
since then he has contributed not a
little to the pleasure of The people here
by vast amount of lively, breezy
writing which has appeared in these
columns. Last spring he was APP

after the time am dealing with, people
left hot only their hiYes to their children
by will, but actually bequeated summer
flight of bees to their friends; while the hive
was claimed by one, the next swarm would
become the property Of another. AS for the
drink, it was almost exclusively water, beer
and cider Any one who pleased might
brew beer without tax or license, and
everyone who was at all before the world
did brew his own beer according TO his own
taste. But in those days the beer was very
different stuff from that which you are ta-
miliar with To begin with, people did not
use hops, Hops were not put into beer un
till long after the time We are concerned
with. dare say they favored their beer
with horehOund and other herbs, but they
did not understand those tricks which
brewers are said to practice nowadays for
making the beer "heady" and sticky and
poisonous. | am not prepared to say the
beer was better, or that you would have
liked it; but am pretty sure that in those
days it was easier to get pure beer i'll a
country village than II is now, and If man
chose to drink bad beer he had only him
self to thank for it, There was no such mo-
nopoly as there is now. ] am inclined to
think that there were very great many
more people who sold beer in the country
parishes than sell it now, and l am sorry to
say that the beer.sellers in those days had
the reputation of being rather q bad lot.
| 1t is quite certain that they were very often
| in trouble, and of all the oilenses punished
by fine at the manor courts, none is more
common than that of selling beer
| in false measures. Tobacco was
quite unllnown it was first brought
into England about three hundred
years after the DAYS we are dealing with.
When man once sat himself down with

He had no pipe to take Off his attention

coud have been seen in those days as a
man vomiting forth clouds of smoke
| from his mouth aud nostrlls,
the behoders would have un.
