HAPPY THOUGHTS PERTINET

Oh! the happy, happy, happy

its gladness and its joy Where is
the season tbat can compare with it
in universality. in the abandon OF it's
gayety? In the homes OF The rich
and by the humblest hesrth Of the
poor, its influence felt; what heart
so Grabbed, what pocket so nizgard
or so straltened, as not TO relax
under the genial contagion that fills
the very all!
But by some unbldden impulse. my
mind turns from the comprehensive
cheer and wanders Arbitrarily away
to an alien theme, AMI fancy i'm
agnes lustreless. dull jet centre
Set within a circlet Of diamonds. the
dark symbol of mourning surround
ed by the flashing points of light;
how the darkness enhanced by such
a border.
And thus l think OF hearts in
which the depth of sadness is intcnsj-
fed by the surrounding and abound,
ing JOY.

And a shadow in the light,
And a spray Of cypress twining
With the holly wreath tonight.

Watching the fun and frolic Of her

much loved voice that is stlIled for
ever on earth.
Leaves have their time t. fall,
And flowers II whittier at the north

And tears to set--but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own,
oh! Death.
And hence in many hOm S this
glad festival Is a sad anniversary,
all the sadder for tle JOY that seems
almost like the sacrilege of tTeachery
to the memory of her loved one.
May such not remember that
Christmas with its star-herald and its
angels song was, after all, bat an
incident, a means 10 an end? The
Joyous birth was still the birth Of the
"man of sorrows," bat the prelude to
the death that opened the gates Of
heaven, into which gates those little
feet have gone to the beautiful home
OF the blest. 1t was He who took
little children to his arms and said,
"Sutfer the little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not for of
such is the kingdom of heaven" Did
he not say the same 10 you, when
the little one you mourn laid aside
It's toys and wen5 home to God?

A new ten-soamp mill for working the

The Pyrenees mine and mill continue
to run steadily, with about the usual
monthly output.
Work upon the Golden Gate mine
which adjoins the Cable, is proving very
promising to the stockholders. This
shaft is down about 65 feet, and has
passed through a ledge of $40 ore. The
company intend to sink to the depth OF
300 feet before crosscutting to the main
ledge.
The Southern Cross has nothing new

While the mines owned by the new COM

HARVEY CREEK DISTRICT.

The Alps mining company has been
incorporated with capital stock ol
S6,OO0,OOO, in 6O0,0U0 shares of the PAL
value of $40 each. John Caplice, James
Hammond and John G. Wood are the
incorporators The mines are on Har-
vey creek, about thirty miles northwest
of Philipsburg.
This district is one that has long been
known to contain rich free milling gold
quartz in extensive quantities. Con
siderable prospecting has been done
there for years, but very little develop
ment work until recently, as the miners
and prospectors have all been poor men
and could Ut afford to do extensive work
Now that attention is being attracted
that way and capital is getting in there
and people are becoming convinced OF
the great richness and proftableness of
the mines, there is likely to be great
deal of work done on the Harvey creek
properties during the next few years.
The beauty of the district is that the
quartz is free milling gold and the leads
are large and permanent A MAIL
representative has been talking to
several of the mine owners from there
during the past month Or two. and they
all complain of the great difficulty they
experience in getting supplies in to the
mines. There is no road at all there and
consequently everything has to be
packed in on animals by trail. The dis
tance from the Northern Pacific railroad
at Bonita is fifteen miles, while 1t is
thirty from Philipsburg, though the
latter route is much more in favor among
the miners than the former. They claim
that road could be built from Philips
burg much easier and at less cost than
it could be from Bonita, though the latter
is only half the distance away. The
country from Bonita up is more noun
famous and would be much more difficult
to travel if the road was built that way.
On the other hand, an easy road could
be constructed from Philipsburg, with
no very great expense, as it would be a
natural grade all the way, and would re.
quire but little work in the matter OF
excayating, other than clearing away
some boulders, underbrush aad trees,
with the exception OF one place where
some grading would be necessary around
one hill. The road when completed
would be an easy grade and would 90
much good for the Burg were 1t built.
All the supplies necessary would be pur,
chased here and the whole district would
become tributary to Philipsburg. This
fact is of no small consequence to us

at least one resident and several sailors

Policeman Rutherford

Clans at the hospital where he was taken

The mystery in this case was intensi-

During the course OF the evening sew

The physicians consider the case g
most extraordinary one, which cannot
be accounted for, as their first theory
that it was due to sudden change of eli

physician says the blindness might pos
sibly be due to something in the air, as
tie atmosphere has been peculiar for
