The Little Daisy.

Butte Miner:-The Little Daisy claim
on Eight Mile creek is looking remark
ably well. 1t is somewhat of an
anomaly, being the only purely gold
proposition in the Slocan. It consists
OF from two to twelve inches of very
RIB free milling quartz. The vein has
been traced for over 1000 feet on the
surface, and the property as it stands
today affords a, splendid example of
what pluck and perseverance on the
part Of prospectors can accomplish.
Working entirely alone and unassist-
ed by capital, the owners, Me5srs.
Valentine and Abercrombie, have
driven tunnel 40 feet and placed
tons of rich ore on the dump. It is in
tended to make a shipment to Tacoma
at once and an average sample from
over ninety sacks, gave assay returns
of $2O4 in gold, a trace of silver only
being present. The necessity for i'm
mediately erecting a. stamp mill is APP
parent but unfortunately the owners
are not in a position to accomplish this
at present. The property is on the
market at a bonding price of $4,000
and should make a ready sale. The
trail to the mine is now being cleared
and placed in order.

THE LUCKY BILL.
Seam of Good Ore Has been En-
cOUntered.

Park Record: There has been con-
siderable life in and around the Lucky
BIZ during the past week. To begin
with, the board of directors held a
meeting at the Park City hotel Mon
day and levied an assessment of 2
cents per share on the capital stock,
payable at once. The writer. from
what ne saw, conceived the idea that
ore mad been encountered in that pro
perty, and to satisfy himself made d
Trip to the mine. While all the boys
ABOUT the works and Foreman Burton
Qenled the soft Impeachment, we saw
enough on the dump and in the works
to convince US that the denial was a
conservative one. Inquiry revealed the
TACT that seam of good ore had been
encountered in the drift being driven,
and While averaging only about one
men IN width, showed q net value of
$40 per ton. The ore makes on the foot
wall OF a vein fully four feet wide and
dips toward the shaft, and to catch it
the shaft was started downward again,
but sinking had to be discontinued on
account Of surface water from the
heavy rains, but will be resumed at an
early day. The shaft will be equipped
with cage, which has been ordered
and is expected to arrive next week.
The find is nothing to get excited
over, but shows that the Lucky Bill is
yet destined to be a producer as the
ore will certainly widen out deeper
down.

is situated some eight miles from the
lake and at the present the only con-
nection is by means of a trail, but in
view of the probable large shipments
a wagon road will probably be con-
structed before long. 1t is safe to say
that in consequence many properties
now lying unfleeded will be shipping

assured from the utterances OF Lord Sails
bury and Mr.. Arthur Balfour, the First
Lord of the Treasury, that Great Britain
had no desire for a single inch of American
territory beyond what she already right
fully possessed All that was necessary to
settle the trouble was more time and full
Ter knowledge. Meanwhile he would re-
echo and reciprocate from the bottom of
his heart Wolcotts noble words, BLOOD
Is thicker than water" cloud cheers.)
That would always be the sentiment of
every Brton. The two nations were more
closely allied in sentiment and interest
than any others, and while the British
looked with horror on anything approach
ing fratricidal strife, they looked with
pleasure upon the possibility of the Stars
and Stripes and the Union Jack floating
together in defense of a common cause
sanctioned by community of sentiment.
Mr.. Chamberlain paid tribute to the ex-
cellence Of the American missions, and de-
clared that the Americans were also inter-
estcd in the sufferings of humanity for hu-
hanity's sake, and not for any territorial
ambition. Mr.. Chamberlain concluded by
saying:
would 1t were possible that instead OF
wasting breath in petty South American
boundary dispute we could count on the
powerful support of the United States in
enforcing the representations which hith-
erto we have fruitlessly made in behalf of
those who are suffering by Turkish tyran-
ny ard Turkish fanaticism." (Cheers)
The expression of friendly sentiments
OF this nature by the man who has been
credited more than any other member of
the British cabinet with bringing about
the present situation for the glory of his
colonial policy, shows that the British gov
eminent is earnestly DESTROYS of peace with
America, and indicates that there is n
genuine disposition on the part of the Brit
ish leaders as we'll as the English peolple
to cultivate closer relation with the peo-
pie of the United States. This being the
situation and this the feeling on the part
of our English cousins, there ought to be
no difficulty in arranging for the settle
ment of the Venezuelan controversy and
all other possible disputes between the two
nations by arbitration and the establish
ing of more amicable relations between
the two peoples, many of whose interests
are one.

Not to Fight Against Prohibition.

1t seems that the committe appointed by
the newly formed hotel keepers associa-
ton to draft bylaws and formulate plans
for the organization, have not followed the
policy outlined by some of the men who
attended the meeting at Montpelier. This
signed them, and they point out the fact
that tho bylaws and the plans of the
organization do not provide anywhere for
any fight against the prohibitory law, and
the leaders, moreover. protest against the
prevalent idea that such is their purpose
as an organization. They say that not
over one-fifth of them would take any part
in such movement, but that the idea of
their organization is the same as that of
the National Association and those Of
other States. an organization for social
purposes and for protection against hotel
beats.
This is certainly laudable purpose, and
the association is to be congratulated upon
its success in shaking off the influence OF
the few men who advocated war upon the
prohibitory law as the policy of the organ
ization. The hotel men have thus publicly
recognized the futility of arraying them
selves openly against the law which is
sustained by the Overwhelming public
sentiment of the State, and their course
must be regarded as victory for the cause
of law and order and good public morals.

the law, that entails continual expense
for its friends in efforts for ITS enforce
ment, cannot be satisfactorily enforced.
After a few weeks, or at the most months
of such labor efforts cease, and violators
of the law go unwhipped of justice, and
worse than that, 1t Is not unusual for the
prosecuting officer to reduce the whole
matter to practical license, by fines as
heavy as the seller can bear, and yet live
to sell another day, to say nothing of their

trial with at least very unsatisfactory re-
suits, let the people by popular vote say
whether we will continue as we are. or
make a departure, following the lead of
some of the States most noted for In
telligence and observance of law. On the
other hand, should the people decide to
keep up the lines of absolute prohibition,
quite likely the education and excitement
incident to the canvass, would make Il
sentiment behind the law that would not
brook it's defiance. Our present prohib-

Saying where are you going come give
a strict account;
For we are quite resolved that you shall
not pass by.
On strict examination they found he was
spy.
He begged for his liberty. he begged for
his discharge,
And often times he told them: If you'll

There's all the gold and silver that I've
laid up in store,
And when get up to New York I'll give
