Before the Gate.
They gave the whole long day to idle laughter,
To fitful song and jest.
To moods of soberness as idle, after,
And silence, just as idle as the rest.
But when at last upon their way returning,
Taciturn, late and loath,
Through the broad meadow in the sunset burning,
They reached the gate, one fine spell hindered
both.
Her heart was troubled with subtle anguish,
Such as but women know,
That wait. and lest love speak or speak not, lam
guish.
And what they rather would they would not 30.
TIL he said, manlike nothing comprehendng
OF all the wondrous guile,
That women won win themselves with, and bend
ing
Eyes Of relentless asking on her all the while:
"Ah. If beyond this gate the path united
Our steps as far as death,
And might open it," His voice, affrighted
At its own daring, faltered through his breath.
Then she, whom both his faith and fear enchanted
Far beyond words to tell.
Feeling her womans finest wit had wanted
The art he had that knew to blunder well;
Shyly drew near little step, and hooking.
''Shall We not be too late
For teas" she said, I'm quite worn out with walk
ing;
Yes, thanks, your arm. And will you-open the
CATER"

Mining in Rocky Bar.

The following is from a correspondent of
the Range and Valley from Rocky Bar:
Since my last letter things in this camp
have begun to assume quite different
complexion, and it is now thoroughly
demonstrated that mining at the ex-county
capital for this year will be brisk to say the
least. The Elmore company continue to
add new men almost daily; the Vishnu is
adding new men right along, and within
the next four weeks the present forces on
these properties will doubtless be doubled
The Elmore mine is dropping its stamps on
Vlshnu ore, and it is expected the cleanup
Will be good one as the ore they are now
running through is as fine a lot as has ever
came from the mine Other mines are
working small forces throughout the camp.
and although to casual observer scarcely
anything which has been done can be seen,
nevertheless it is fact that large quaint
ties OF good ore are now piled on different
dumps IN this region only awaiting the
opening Of spring and of roads to enable It's
transportation, when it will be reduced and
its hard coin thrown into circulation. IT'S
true, our people generally have been quite
hard up this winter, but work on our min,
Ing properties has been kept continually
going, and ere their spring clean up is made
money will be plentiful and then all the dull
cases of hard times will be lost sight of and
those now feeling the pangs OF hard times
will also probably be lost sight of as they
mingle in the busy whirl of a rustling peo-
pie.

TITS A TALE OF WOE
Oscar Hardy Elopes With an In
dian Maiden.
MINING MATTERS AT ROCKY BAR
The Industry is Looking Up In Other Portions
of Idaho, and Prosperous Sea-
son Seems Assured.

| One day within the past two years Oscar
McCurdy came from Ohio to Idaho, says
| Colonel Jones. He came as the friend of
Superintendent Williams and to be an in
dustrial teacher at Fort Hall Indian school,
One of his duties was to teach the young
bloods how to raise the greatest number of
carrots on the smallest space of ground in
the quickest space of time. This he pro-
ceeded to do. Whether he was ever &C
quainted with Cupid or ever slept on a
single cot with the little god and his bow
and arrows the history of his native state
fails to say. Whether his heart was ever
plastered over with poultices or cataplasms
for love aches back in Ohio the records do
not show. Whether any May day queen or
any reigning belle of his great state ever
touched the soft spoS of his heart and made
him feel romantically funny all over
this deponenJ saith not The inference is
she did not. But Maggie did. Maggie is
an Indian girl, mixed, Mexican and Indian,
so the story goes, small of stature, and
stands middle way in her teens. He talked
OF love to Maggie and Maggie laid her
dusky little hand on his arm near the angle
at the elbow and talked love back to him.
When the cruel epidemic of disease swooped
down upon the school last fall, it was no
respecter Of persons 1t entered Macs
room and babe him sit down. Maggie sat
by him and kept grim death away by tender
nursing. When Mac got better his heart
overfowed on all sides and all around with
love and gratitude for her. Then eternal
vows were made. But Macs eyes got sore
and through the film and mist before them
ne could not gaze upon Maggie's charms as
his heart longings dictated. He betook
himself to Salt Lake to specialist. The
Ohm and mist were removed and Macs eye
sight returned and with it his
yeernings and longings to be with
Maggie. He returned to Blackfoot He
returned to Fort Hall. He talked with
Maggie and returned to Blackfoot again.
Monday night when the moon peeped over
the foothills, it saw lover moving eau
tlously to the home Of his dusky maiden.
The moon laughed, the stars twinkled
their sparkling eyes, but Mac moved on.
At Fort Hall, he breathlessly awaited his
opportunity. The opportunity came, he
seized Maggie, and with spirited steeds fed
to Blackfoot. With his prize he reached
Blackfoot; so did Superintendent Will
hams. Maggie was taken back to the
school and Mac has gone thither. The doc
tor says Mac is suffering with softening
OF the brain; we think it was lapsus lin
guae and she meant a softening of the
heart. Poor Mac, his song has been
spoiled. In after years he will not sing {:
when you and l were young, Maggie
But in all this romance, disappointed love
and disappointed hopes, people will talk

How IL ia Worked

"The nickel is very important coin,'
said an eastern railway magnate the other
day, ''and it does about as much business
as some of it's silver companions, but we
have been obliged to discriminate against
1T nevertheless, in fact we have boycott ted
It, and refuse to permit street car con
ductors to turn in more than four nickeis
apiece at the end Of their days work.
About half of the passengers pay
their fares in nickels, and if these coins
were turned into the company's Golfers we
would be hopelessly deluged with them, and
few days would practically retire the
nickel from local circulation. And how
could we handle the bushels and bushels of
coin. No bank would accept the money
except as special deposit held for safe
Keeping. In short, the only way we can
handle the nickel is to follow the example
of the lrishman with the hot potato--drop
1t. So we refuse to accept nickels from
our employees, and it is their duty to I'M
load upon the passengers all the nickels
that are paid in for fares. Four passen-
gers, one after another, pay their fares
with nickels, the fifth offers quarter and
receives the four nickels in change; there
is the whole system in nutshell We
also refuse to accept more than s. in

THOMAS FORBES, alias Ford, the bold burglar
who was so cleverly nabbed at the depot on
Wednesday night by Mrs. Derrah,, whose house
he pundered short time ago, has come to the
conclusion that the jig is up and he will make
no defense. He acknowledged yesterday that
he burglarized James Chesney's residence, In
this city, and did some other work here which he
did not designate. He also stated that he COM
mitted some burglaries in Ogden, the residence
of Mrs. Brooks being one OF the places in the
junction city which he visited professionally.
He was assisted in his depredations in this CITY
by pal, but he worked Ogden single handed
Most Of the iewelry recovered has already been

DR., MCLEAN, who recently returned from
the east, whittier he went on account of his
health, received royal welcome home from
the Caledonian society, of which he was most
respected member, last evening. There were
speeches and Misunderstanding and a flow OF spirits
such as are usual seen, heard and tasted on
the occasion of a Scottish re union, or when
Scot meets Scot, and the doctor was very much
affected at the testimonial of the esteem in
which he is held by his brother members Sew
eral hours were passed away very pleasantly,
and the boys all pay great compliments to Mrs.
McLean's abilities as hostess 1t was a
pleasant little affair all around. and will not
soon be forgotten by those who were in attend

Mr.. Gould Is Satisfied,

"You can announce officially" remarked
an official of the Denver & Rio Grande
yesterday, shat the Missouri Pacific will
continue to run its trains over the Rio
Grande tracks from Pueblo to Denver.
There is lease between the two roads
that has good many years to run, and nei-
Their line wants to terminate it. Mr.. Gould
said. while in Denver last week, that he
was well satisfied with the traffic agree
ment with the Rio Grande. It's true the
Missouri Pacific might save something in
wheelage by running their trains over the
Union Pacific from Pueblo, but by break
ing the agreement with our line, they
would lose a valuable feeder. The Rio
Grande dumps lots of freight into the Mis-
souri, Pacific funnel, which it would not do
if there was not an alliance. Mr.. Gould
realizes that if there is disruption between
his line and the Rio Grande we might form
an alliance with the Rock Island or Bur-
lington, neither of which are friendly lines
to those controlled by the Wall street wiz
ard. All parties concerned are disposed to
let well enough alone."-Denucr Nclrs.

IN RAILWAY CIRCLES
The Road to Salina is Being
Vigorously Pushed.
The Rio Grande Western Win Not Build to
Marysvale This Year,
IT Is Said.

The eyes Of the people of the south are
on the movements of the Rio Grande West
ern. From Salina, our correspondent
writes as follows: Salina has the railroad
sure at last. Mr.. Babcock, right-of- way
agent Of the Rio Grande Western, was at
Salina on Monday, finishing up the bust
ness. had little chat with the gentle
man on the railroad business, being intro
duced by the enterprising superintendent
Of the Salina coop. Mr.. Babcock stated
that the cars would steam into Salina about
the lst of July, and in order to do So every
effort was made to hurry up the grading,
etc. The heavy rock cut, six miles south
of Manti, which is forty feet deep, will be
hurried up by putting on day and night
shifts. and the heavy grading in Ssleratus
canon will be also hurried. Contracts on
the section between Gunnison and Salina
were given out and work will commence at
once.
1 asked Mr.. Babcock if work would be
pushed on south to Marysvale as soon as
the cars would reach Salina. His answer
was that it would not this year, as the com.
pany proposed to improve the road east in
Soldier canon, making the road some four
teen miles longer and reducing it to two
degree grade, with other improvements
| that were necessary. So we up the river
must exercise little patience

STRUCK IT RICH.
Erb and de Ricqles Discover a
Prospect With 800 Ounce Ore.
There is Great Excitement in the North
west Over the Deep Greek
Mining Boom.

Mrs. John Kearney, whose ranch is at
Willow, twelve miles:west of Fish Springs,
was in the city yesterday and she said that
everything was lively out there and that
we will hear in a few days of the biggest
strike yet.
The mining fever is so contagious that
women have caught it and Mrs. Kearney
will organize "woman's" prospecting
company while in this city, so that they
can share in the bonanzas to be discovered.
Whether the women will go into the noun
tains or hire some man was not learned.
G. ]. Miller, of Los Angeles, who has
been recently up IN Portland and Wash
ington cities, reports great deal of talk
there over the Deep Creek country, and
that hundreds of old miners are preparing
to leave for the Deep Greek country.
II ike to see an old cock like George
Cullins go to Deep Greek, as he is the most
chronic bear on mining in the business, ~
said G. D. Shell. ''Cullins," continued
Shell, twas superintendent of the Emma
and Last Chance when most of the miners
going to Deep Creek were boys in the bust
ness. If he comes back with favorable re-
ports the people will believe him.

Mining at Mineral.

From Louis Noble, of Mineral, we learn
that the Biddle & Lang smelter will start
up about May l. That the Maria Mining
company have made another rich strike and
that company have delivered about two
hundred tons of high grade ore at the
smelter for reduction. That c. G. Wing.
owner of the Transit. has forty or fifty tons
of rich ore on the dumps and is pushing the
work as rapidly as possible That the
Grand Prize is attracting much attention
on account of reported rich strike. That
the Little Chief company are driving 300.
foot tunnel to tap their ledge on a lower
level. That the mines Of Mineral are more
promising than ever before and that the
prosperity of the camp is assured beyond a
doubt.-Siqndl.
