aggregating $l2,50O. AS the mine is
not being exploited at present, the
miners being on strike, these divi-
dends may not be kept up very long,
but as the company is understood to
have surplus of $4,000 on hand, it
is possible that they may be declared
uninterruptedly, as the strike cannot
last forever, especially on an improv-
ing market for lead and silver.

A Gallant 0. 8. L. Conductor Taken
In and Done For by Young Nor.
mon Woman.
A friend in Shoshone writes the
TIMES that there is no chance OF a
wedding between The gallant conduc-
tor mentioned few days ago and the
fair young Scandinavian emf grant,
whose fare and meals he paid from
Pocatcllo to Oregon. Alas! for the
duplicity of woman! She was the
second wife of Mormon polygamist
who abandoned his family at Logan,
Utah, to 60 to Oregon to live with
the fair Scandinavian, who determined
to really and truly "beat" the railway
by travelling free to join her lord and
master The friend to whom the
ob'iging conductor telegraphed in
Portland was none other than the
hoary headed old sinner himself. The
lost satchel was found the same night
on the north bound train. 1t con-
tanned nothing but copy of the Bear
Lake Herald, dirty linen handker-
chief, letter asking her to come at
once, and some tthing house receipts
for potatoes and onions.
The conductor is out about S6- on
the episode, and he swears that it will
be cold day when any other tramp,
male or female, works on his sympa-
thies to that extent again.
