working lease of the entire property. 1t Is
full claim, trending easterly and west
erly, with dip southwark. 1t has shaft
down 5x5x170 feet. Several levels have
been run east and west from face Of shaft.
The: mine is being worked by awhim. They
are taking out some good ore and are arIang-

Denver, which will average about $500 per

ly from the upper east level to the lower
level, ranging from four to fourteen inches
wide Mr.. Bass is very hopeful of the final
outcome Of the mine, and / shall hope that
his expectations may be fully realized.
The facilities for developing quartz
mines in both the Deep canon and Sweat

Scott Smith, who had just returned from
his tour of examination. After comparing
notes, which did not differ materially,
we concluded to do the town for day or

game of cribbage, Captain Catlin, as
Smith had just returned from the Ceur
d'Alene mines, subjected him to pump

LENORE.
BY EDGAR ALLEN POE.

All, broken is the golden bowl!
The spirit flown forever!
Let the bell toll "a sanity soul
Floats on the Stygian river;
And Guy DeNere, hast thou no tear?
Weep now or never more!
See on yon drear and rigid bier
Low lies thy love, Lenore!
Come let the burial rite be read
The funeral song be sung =
An anthem for the queenliest dead
That ever died so young
A dirge for her the doubly dead
In that she died so young.
"Wretches, We loved her for her wealth
And hated her for her pride,
And when she fell in feeble health,
We blessed her-that she died
But wait the angel on her flight
With "A Piean of old davs
Let no bell toll lest her sweet soul,
Amid its hallowed mirth,
Should catch the note, as II doth float
Up from the damned Earth.
To friends above, from tiends below,
The indignant ghost is riven-
From He'll unto a high estate
Far up within the Heaven
From grief and groan TO golden throne
Beside the King of Heaven"

The location of the bones of Christopher
Columbus is being discussed. Till 1877 it
was believed that the bones of the great
Admiral lay buried at Havana, Cuba, hav-
ing been transferred from San Domingo.
Then claim was made that the remains
rested in the Metropolitan Church of the
Indies. But, upon investigation, the old
belief that Havana was the true place has

A MYSTERIOUS CANINE.
Following a street Car Every Night for
Many Miles.
| PHILADELPHIA Record. I

Philadelphia Record
The first Union Line night car on Frank
lin street from the Richmond depot has for
long time met at Spring Garden street
mysterious avant courier-a lOng-legged,
white mongrel dOg-which has aroused in
tense curiosity on the part of the car driver
THAT er dog" said the latter to belated
reporter, lis queer fish. Why, he makes
a forty-ive mile run every night ahead of
us as If he was just taking constitutional
before early breakfast. He must have a
big appetite every morning. He's the ter
TOR OF every cat on the route"
1t seems that every night the singular
canine appears ahead of the car as it
reaches Spring Garden and Franklin streets.
No matter what the weather is the long
legged courier is there, and never loses
sight of the car, although few yards in
advance, until the morning dawn begins
to brighten in the east and the car is on
its final round.
For three trips the mysterious canine runs
in advance, and, as each trip is fourteen
miles-counting the constant detOurs after
the offending felines-he thus completes a
chase of not less than forty-fve miles.
The dog is as regular as the car, and al
ways maintains fair distance between
himself and the horses If the car is
driven fast he increases his speed, and
when there is any let-up in the cars pro-
gress the dog lags also.
As the driver remarked, he is terror to
the cats along the route, and many mid
night concert has been broken up by the
distant jingle of the car bells, the chorus
ing Thomases, warned by many previous
experiences that danger runs before the
tinkling sound, disperse in haste All
efforts to catch up with this strange dog
have failed. He keeps his distance, and
disappears as mysteriously as he comes
Just as the day breaks and the car nears
Spring Garden street on its home trip.

Endurance ofthe Camel.

Samuel w. Baker, the African explorer,
is quoted as saying that camels will cross
desert with load of 400 pounds at the rate
of so miles day, in the burning heat OF
summer, and require water only every
third or fourth day. In the cooler months
the animal will work seven or eight days
without water, and if grazing on green
foliage, without labor will only drink once
a fortnight

FIVE LITTLE DUDES

Five little dudes
Standing by the door,
Long come pretty girl,
And then there were four.
One little dude
Who hadn't had his tea,
Left the other four,
And then there were three.
Another little dude,
Who was handy with hiscue,
Went to roll the balls around,
And that left two.
The two remaining dudes.
when the clock struck nine,
Went to drown their sorrow
In a bottle Divine.
