Icannot dismiss the subject OF break

teaching children dantiness in table
manners, says a woman writer. The

well forgive him if he forgets the right
way to shake hands or doff his hat or
enter drawing-room. But even he will
be unforgiven If his table manners are
rntidy or offensive. Just here the most
aln,able of men, Thackeray, drew a
sharp line. "Oh,' he signs, "if only
the dear America girls would not strip

again: "How could | breakfast with

from three days trip over Camp

turn they have been in raptures over

and when they had taken in the sights
in that locality, and the immensely of
the outlook nearly overpowered them,
they took saddle horses and went out
to Lion Hill. where they inspected the
Little Pittsburg. Then they skirted
the western foothills, taking in the
Omaha, Badger and other promising
prospects in that locality, and wound
up at the Sunshine mill and mine.
In Silverado canyon the party had
an experience with deep snow, the
memory of which will ever be with
the participants. For two miles in the
canyon the snow was from five to six
feet deep, and it took the boys three
hours to travel two miles, and to
make matters worse, the horses played
out, got down, laid down, and refused
to move.
Colborn was greatly nonplussed at
this. and endeavored in vain to lift his
beast bodily from the snow. Failing
in this, he called the animals all the
endearing names he could think of. He
then thought a few cuss words. and
then wished he was at home Hudson.
however, pulled his horse by the bit,
sawed this way and that, made a few
polite remarks, and then took a seat
by Allen in the snow. who. having had
more experience, knew that when rest
ed the mustangs would go on without
any urging which proved to be the
case
This was Mr.. Colborn's first visit to
Camp Floyd, and he says that the real
ity far exceeded his most sanguine ex-
pectations. He was particularly
pleased at the large ore bodies in the
Mercur mine and the fine showing
made at the Sunshine mill, which. he
says, is a fine structure and doing ex-
eellent work.

LUCKY BOY BULLION,
This Magnificient Property Making
Fine Record.

Bar No. 10. the product Of the Lucky
Boy mill. near Custer City. Idaho, is
now on its way to Omaha.
These bars of bullion from the Lucky
Boy are valued at from $4,000 to $1,000,
and as the last shipment makes the
thirteenth since the company took
hold of the property in July last we
believe that the owners can state,
without fear of successful contradic-
ton, that no other mining company
in the west can make an equal show
ing within such limited time.
The Lucky Boy mill is making
saving of 80 per cent of the values Of
the ores, and Major Stanton, of the
Lucky Boy mine, writes that the pro-
perty is in excellent condition.
Colonel Nick Treweek, president and
general manager of the Lucky Boy
Mining company, informs The Herald
that the mine is now producing about
1000 tons of ore monthly, which is
about the capacity Of the 90-stamp
chlorination mill, and the ore values
range all the way from $22 to $3S per
ton. so per cent Of which is in gold.
Sinking is now in progress for the
500 foot level and when this is reached,
a station will be cut, and prospecting
will be continued with a diamond drill.
If it shall be found that ore exists
further down distance of 300 feet, 1t
is estimated that the body of ore thus
blocked out will well be worth Sl,0OO,O0O.
Work is also being pushed in the
west drift on the Annie ground. the
face of which is now in good paying
ore in new territory
The ore in the bottom OF the main
shaft is improving with depth, and the
ten-foot body now exposed assays from
S45 to $50 to the ton, which gain is very
gratifying indeed to the company
The Lucky Boy company, which took
hold of this property last July, after
an expenditure of $4,000 in its equip
ment and supplies for the winter feels
that success is rapidly browning its
efforts. At that time only four men
were at work in the property, and the
grass grew in profusion mp to the very
sills of the mill Now they employ
eighty men and there are at least 200
men in the camp-quite a change with
in so short a time, and this once de-
serted old camp now presents a lively
and prosperous appearance.

judgment is entitled to weight.

Average Samples From the Northern

Assays were received yesterday from
tests made on the samples of Northern
Light ores brought in from the mine
last Tuesday. and the results show
that this mine is a hot number.
The samples of ore tested We're aver
age samples taken from the bodies of
mineral exposed in the Northern
Light, in the lower workings of the
mine, for distance of about 500 feet
and the directors of the company
were careful not to include in the lot
any of the high grade silver ores ex-
posed in the upper workings, as it
is the large bodies of low grade ore
in the lower levels that the company
intends to operate upon. Judge of the
surprise, then, when the assays showed
an average value of 92.3 ounces in
silver and $3.50 in gold to the ton;
which. taken at the ruling silver QUO
tationss amounts in value to $61.S4 to
the ton.
This is several times higher than
the average values of the Mercur ores,
and, in consequence, the company is
feeling much elated over the outlook.
