Frozen to Death /.


Two young men, Henry Stevenson and
Schoonover, who were employed in chop
ping wood for Ben Ninemire short dis
tance beyond the summit of the mountain
on the old Ryan Wood road, were in town
last week and on Thursday left to return
to their camp. A short distance this side
of the summit Stevenson gave out and
could go no further. As he was Stout,
heavy man, his partner could do nothing
in the way of getting him along without
help so he left him to go to the camp for
assistance, and when he returned hefOund
Stevenson unconscious and SO nearly
frozen that he could not be restored. The
rescuing party managed to get Stevenson
into camp, where he soon after died. De-
ceased was from Kansas and was aged
about 25 years. He had only been in the
country short time, having arrived IN
Boise late last fall. AS the road between
the camp in the mountains and the valley
is filled with snow drifts in many places,
it was impossible to bring the remains out
for interment, so they were temporarily
buried near the camp to be brought out
later.

Coming to the Front.

The old mining camp of Elk City in
Northern Idaho, is just now coming to
the front with the certain promise of be
ing first-class bullion producer in the
early future. Several of the old....lodcs
which have long been known to be per
manent and rich in ore bodies, and some
of more recent discovery, have recently
passed to the control of wealthy syndi
cate that has already organized with a
large capital stock to develop and work
them. Recent discoveries and develop
ments have demonstrated the fact that the
great mineral belt that trayerses the
mountain section of which Elk City is the
center IS scanned with true fissure veins
showing, wherever examined, the presence
of rich ore. With the developments thai
are now certain to come, Elk City and the
mountain country around, will within the
ensuing twelve months, attract large
population and more than regain the famt
it enjoyed in the palmy days Of placer
mining.

livan's company, which played Kitty from

night, is decidedly the best comic opera
troupe which has visited Vancouver this
season. The play was strong throughout
and the panorama of Irish scenes was an
excellent work of art. In addition to be-
ing finished actors, each member is vo-
calist of rare merit. The duet, Come Lis
ten to My Tale of Woe, by Josie Morris
Sullivan and Maurice Daniels as Richard
Thornton, was given most swceily. Dan
Sullivan was equally good in the four
roles he assumed. and won his way into
the good will Of the audience as we'll by
his deep sonorous voice as by faithful i'm

sented. Tonight the irror OF Ireland

DOWN WENT Ni'GINTY.
Most Ridiculous and Most Popular
Scng that Ever Appeared.

You hear it everywhere. In parlo
and In kitchen, in Office and in store in thu
mansions of the rich, in the homes of the
poor. 1t is more infectious than the dis
omftlngSgrip"-and if it Is not check.
ed in Its mad career 1t will soon prove
more annoying.
"Down went McGinty to the bottom
of tie sea-"
That is the refrain of the most ridlcu.
lous song that has ever been sprung upon
the American public for years. All other
jingles have been driven out of use for the
time being by'its catchy air and senseless
words. 1t has neither musical nor liter
ary merit. and why it should become a
popular craze is one of those mysterious
things that no fellow can satisfactorily
explain. The words of the song are as
follows:
Soonday marnin', just at nine,
Dan McGinty, dressed so fine,
Shtood lookin' agln' a high stone wall;
Whin his young frind Pat McCann,
| Siz, "Orn bet foiver, Dan,
Oi kin caray yez to the top without a falll''
So on his shoulder he took Dan,
| And to climb the lad began.
AM twas very near he did to rache the top;
When McGinty, thinking thin
That the foiver he would win,.
Let go his hould an TUX an awful drop
CHORUS.
Down went McGinty to the bottom of the wall,
An tho he won the foive,
n Twas more dead he was than aloive,
Wid ribs an nose an back broke from the
fall
Dressed in his best shoot av clothes!
From the hospital McGinty went home,
When they'd fixed Mich broken bone,
To fcind he was the father av choild;
So to celebrate it roght,
Friends he went out to invite,
And soon was drinkin' whiskey fast and
woild!
As he wandered down the strate,
In his Soonday shoot so nate,
Wild head hould up proud as John the Great. |
In the sidewalk was hole,
For to resave ton av coal,
That McGinty never saw till just too late.
CHORUS.
Down went McGinty to the bottom av the
hole,
And the driver oil the CART,
Bedad he gave the Goals star-rt,
An it took us an hour to dig McGinty from
the coal
Dressed in his best shoot av clothes!
When McGinty thin an pale,
Wan foine day got out av Jail,
He wild love to say his bhoy was nearly woild,
To his house he quickly ran,
An to his wife--his birdy Ann
But she had skipped the rope ar TUX tn
choild!
Then he gave up in despair
And plucked all his ripest hair!
Then in an hour he stood by the river shore
An knowin' well he cud not swim,
He did foolishly jumpin,
Although water he had never tux before!
CHORUS
Down went McGintyl to the bottom of the
say!
An he must be very wet,
For they haven't got him yet,
But his ghost is. at the dock livery marn at
at break of day,
Dressed in his best shoot av clothes!
