ing from 60 ozs. up to $500 in gold and silver.
The Augusta has an 30 foot tunnel, and it is
stated shows a body of pay ore from four to
seven feet wide. These have for some time
been considered very fevorably among the
prospects Of Orc Fin district, but like all
the mines there, were not backed by sufi-

E. H. Stanton, who is in prison in default
of $1,000 bail for grand larceny and $1,000 for
perjury in the Anaconda robbery case, which
has been mentioned frequently in the past
few months, had a rough experience last
week. He has claimed all along that he
would be able to give the bonds to secure his
release, and made out a pitiful case to Sheriff
Coleman that the tobaoco smoke of the other
prisoners in the cage made him very sick.
His persistence in this story led the Sheriff
finally, out of compassion for him, to permit
Stanton to sit in the kitchen at times where
he would not be reached by the tobacco
smoke, although it was a nuisance and an
inc~onvenient burden on the officers to have
him in the kitchen. He, however, lilly re.
Quilted the favor done him, or else was s'pos-
suming'' about the smoke racket, for on the
evening Of Jan. Sd, when the jailor ran up
stairs for a nome Mt, just before locking up
for the night, Stanton, who had fixed for the
occasion with his overshoes on, quickly
slipped out of the kitchen and escaped. This
was about 7:30 p. m. Tuesday, one Of the most
furious and gusty ~snow.drlving nights of the
winter. The officers were after him as
4uANnAy a. pOooAVAO3 o0O VAoS0N ~" ooAA0
distance up the river, but lost the trail.
Stanton, however, travelled all night, and
mex day reached 4 ranch near Stuart, where
he stayed two days. Meantime Sheriff Cole
man had the country covered, so if he had
ever reached his objective point, he would
have been captured. But his whereabouts
having meantime become known, and that
he had left afoot for Silver Bow, Deputy
Sheriff Harmon, of Anaconda, was tele-
graphed to look up his hiding place and then
follow him. Harmon was quickly on the
trail, found the bird had hoped off that
morning, traced him TO Silver Bow, and took
him in soon after he had got to a saloon
Extraordinarily having feared to take the
cars in Deer Lodge valley, and waiting for a
train to Pocatello from a point where he was
not so well known. He was turned into his
Did quarters again Friday, and will have to
endure tobacco smoke until next term of
court, or the requisite bail is forthcoming.
He was out in one of the worst days and
nights of the winter. His cheeks and feet
were frosted aud one knee injured by falling
of a bank. 1t is a wonder he did not freeze
to death.

Beginning OF Steel Pens.

The earliest notice of steel pens that
have met with is by Wordsworth.
In 1906 he and his family were occu.
pying the house at Coleorton during
the absence Of Sir George and Lady
Beumont. and in tho month OF Docenl.
Der the poet wrote to the latter what
he calls ''the longest letter he eve,
wrote in my life," and with reason,
as it fills eighteen pages. Ho begins:
My Dear Lady Beaumont: There.
peiiinanship for you! l shall not be
able to keep it up to the end in this
style. Notwithstanding l have the ad.
vantage of writing with one of your
steel pens. with which Miss Hutchin-
son has just furnished me-" The mex,
mention that have noted is by Dr..
Kitchiner in 1924, when speaking of
friend above Sky he says: "This
strain of the eye and occasion fol
spectacles Of high magnifying power
is particularly found in mending pens
so that he has sufficient number OF
pens to prevent the necessity o,
mending any Of them until he has
finished writing" To this there i:
appended a note: ITO those who
find the mendlng Of pens rather q
difficult J 'b recommend the occa.
sional use Of a steel pen. especially
when they wish to write very small
and neatly, The steel pen seems to
have been still a rarity at that time,
and my own schoolboy experience
tends to show that it was. From
about 1924 to 1S45 do not remem Der
the use Of steel pens in school, and in
earlier years 1925 to 1889 have dis.
tinct recollection of our using quilA.
