MEDHURsr, Feb. %. 1ss5-It Is pleasing to
note the cheerful feeling Of the people here
over the present and prospective outlook.
Pardee has
STRUCK IT RICH
in the Princeton. Going up tswn the other
evening I encountered one OF the pioneers Of
our little burg "well," he exclaimed, "I'll
be blanked If j. X. amt struck 1t again In
the west drift. Let's 60 and take suthin'.'
These and similar exclamatisns I've heard
since the evening Of the 18th. On the 18th
inst. the miuers working in the face of the
west drift discovered, after blasting several
seams of black sulphurets Of silver mixed
with sulphurets of copper, the ore or pay
streak, which is similar to that found in the
old cut at the within shaft. On the 9th inst
Mr.. Pardee started cross-cut north of the
face in the west drift to determine the width
Of the lead, etc. On the 10th inst. he was
again rewarded by the discovery Of bsdy Of
rich ore in the croos-cut." The ore encoun-
tered in the cross-cut appears to be very base
in character. This insures
THE BUILDING OF SHELTER
in the spring and active operations generally.
They have also large bsdy of ore in the east
drift which is in 40 feet from the mouth Of
the shaft. The lead In the east drift has at-
tanned width of over 40 feot in places, but
does not as yet show up as rich as the west
side. On further development the ore in tho
west drift and cross-cut proves to be contin-
nous and richer as progress Is made. The
people have great confidence in
THE PRESENT MANAGEMENT
of the mine, and they have every reason to
feel slated, for We believe our present little
boom is only the initial Of better times and
things to come. Besides the Princeton mine,
the company owns series Of other mines
and much valuable mining ground that shows
up rich to the depth they have attained.
Among these are the Sandy Brown, Saranac,
Crowned Prince, Tigress and Mediterranean.
There have been
SEVERAL VALUABLE DISCOVERIES
made in the Boulder District the past year,
the richest and most important being the
Eureka, discovered and owned by VIM. P.
Edwards, Charles schott and Dick Prince.
Of thu Princeton. They sunk shaft some
10 feet on the side of the ledge and encoun-
tered the lead in several places on the way
down. The ere is different in character from
any heretofore found in the camp, being of .
species called "Stetefeldt," named after the
Inventor of the "Ststefeldt Furnace" As
says taken from the dump at the Eureka
goes from 167 ounces TO 700 ounces In silver.
Those owning claims In Boulder Mining
District and vicinity should commence the
coming season to get their mines in proper
working order, for they may rest assured the
coming season will see an influx of peopls,
and ansng them will be many ready and
willing 10 bay good mines and prospects
but holes in the ground will be ne more sala-
BILE than they are at present.
Our people here are, generally speaking,
secIABLE, HosPITARLE, AND GENEROUS,
and while We are not as observent of some Of
the rules Of etiquette as ssne Of the older
towns of the Territory, there is a freedom Of
existence here, . feature Of all new mining
towns; still there exists proper respect for
the laws and . becoming regard for others.
But there . few in our midst and vicinity
who delight in scandal aud for their benefit
herewith appenda
CURE FOR SCANDAL,
A terrible disorder Of the mouth; Take Of
"gsod nature" one ounce; Of An herb called
by the Indians ''mind your own business"
one ounce; mix this with little "charity
for others" and two or three springs Of "keep
your tongue between ysur teeth" Simmer
them together in vessel called reflection"
for . shsrt time and it will be ready for use.
Applicatisn-The symptoms are a violent
itching in the tsngue and roof Of the mouth,
which invariably takes placs when yen are
