be the old hosting outfit used in sinking
the Blaine shaft-the first extensive work
done on the great Bi-Metallic properties.
II is rumored around Philipsburg that
the Bi-Metallic company will Don de-
clare its first. dividend, and the general
opinion prevails that IL will not be less
than 25 cent per share, or 10000 on
10000 shares, which constitutes the
capital stock of that corporation. The
continued and profitable success OF the
company under the SUPPLEMENTARY of
j. B. Risque makes the report bear more
than a shadow Of truth. and il is evident
hat a declaring of n dividend will occur
at no distant date.
The great amount Of development work
done by the company in the past two or
three years. in connection with the con-
struction of their 5-stamp mill and the
erection of one of the most improved
hoisting plants in the world, has entailed
a great deal Of expense, and the fact that
all their Indebtedness has been continu-
ally cleaned up. which amounted To a
good many thousands of dollars, is sufii-
cient proof of the richness Of the mines.
and also of the fact that when dividends
begin to he paid they will continue for

''was little Billy Sprague. Billy was the
funniest little chap you ever saw. He
weighed not less than 10 pounds, al
though he was scarcely five feet high.
Literally he was almost as broad as he
was long. His face was certainly wider
than its length. The most singular effect
was caused by the fact that Billy had not
n single wisp of hair on either his head
or face-not even an eyelash or eyebrow.
He was awfnlly sensitive about his not
having any hair. but couldn't seem to get
used 10 wearing a wig. His pate was like
an exaggerated billiard ball, and Billy
used To say the wig made lin want To
scratch il all the time.
"Wbcn he was about 25 years old Billy
fell in love with IA pretty girl who worked
in "A big candy store on Sixth avenue, and
he straightway set out tn win her. lie
went To the best wigmaker In town and
had a fine brown, curly wig made. II cost
a heap Of money, hut Billy would have It.
He paid diligcnt court To the girl, wbo
toyed with him awhile and then sent him
about his business. Billy took IL sorely to
heart and began To drink heavily. In "a
short time he had spent all his money and
lost his situation, and was very much of "A
loafer. The only valuable thing he had
left was his wig. Finally he could not get
along without his liquor, and liquor he
could not get without money.
zone night Billy started IA beautiful
r'htfht ~ ktttihe M Wv rum h'
wanted. Gong into a saloon he con-
fiden | lily told tn, ba keeper that he
had no money to pay for q drink,
but that IL he were supplied he would
leave his wig as security Tor its pay
ment. The wig was taken and Billy got
his drink. Ma bar-keeper could nave
donbted that this was good security after
seeing Billy's bald head. Going out Billy
strolled to another saloon, i'm which he
told a sad tale of having had his wig
stolen. His shining scalp vas the best
kind Of evidence that he needed a wig,
and everybody felt sorry for him, he
looked so forlorn. The hat went round,
and Billy raised about So for another wig
besides being asked to drink twice. Re-
turning to the first saloon Billy redeemed
his wig and wen his way rejoicing.
"By selecting his base OF operations
carefully Billy lived for two years on that
wig Lived too well, i'm fact. for at the end
of that time he died on the island from an
attack of delirium tremens."

What bids fair To be- one Of II best

averaging over $50 silver to the ton, was
freiehtcd to California and from there
went as ballast around Cape Horn to
England for treatment. In 1855 the mine
passed into the hands of n New York
company who built n smelter at Argenta
and commenced working the mine. This
company IL said To have taken over $780,

after the failure OF the company the mine

many To he ''played out" This was
