rock in his pocket. Sometime later he
decided to test it ard the result was a
big surprise, for the seeming worthless
rock assayed up in the hundreds. He
communicated this fact to his partners
who Immediately located the ledge and
began work on it. Since then some
$50. COO has been taken from a hole in
the ground less than 20 feet square and
there is fully s5O.C eco more in sight, and
in all probability millions more below
it.
The extent Of the ore body will not,
of course, be known until further de-
velOpment work is done on it. As Yet
it is merely a prospect. but an exceed
ingly valuable one. and if the rich ore
goes down ever to Il depth Of 100 feet,
it is without Goubt the richest gold
mine in the world.
AS usual in such cases when rich
leads have been uncovered. the claim
jumpers are getting in their work to
the retirement of the camp. Several
contests are now on, Il OF which in
wolves the possession of an eXtentiOn Of
the MaytiOwer, which was located by
Butte parties and jumped by IA resident
of Whitehall for a number of Well
known and well-,o-do Butte men. The
latter are now pushing work on Il tun-
mel which is in - feet and in which it
is expected the big ore body will be
discovered within 100 feet.
The former locators have let the
jumpers work it. but it is understood
will institute legal proceedings just as
| soon as the latter find ore. 1t is like
some serious results will follow the OPP
erations of claim jumpers in that part
of the country, for the prOspectOrs who
have complied with the law will not sit
idle by and allow themselves to be rob-
bed of their property.
Since the recent publication of the
news of the discovery of rich gold ore
in Cedar anyon the hills swarm with
prospectors and on almost every Hill
top fresh evidences of their recent
work may be seen. 1t is said that one
claim is fairly plastered with location
notices, there being no less than six
seperate discovery shafts, all inside the
boundaries of one claim. Even the
ranchers in the neighborhOod have
turned prospectors for the time being
and are devoting more attention to the
hill tops than they are to their crops.
The result OF future operations in the
camp will be looked forward to with a
great deal of interest and if there are
other leads of like nature in the vicin-
ity of the May flower the northern por'
ton of Madison county will become as
famous as old Virginia City with its
placer deposits was 90 years ago.-ln-

ing her head under his chin, she gives
nim the cold shoulder. For the girl
whose only charm is the sloping lines
of the back of the neck and the fetching
little locks tickling the white nape this
is especially comfortable.
The girl stands back to her partner
who holds her right arm extended. The
girls left hand is put behind her. This
does away with what prim people have
called unmitigated temptations of the
waltz, There is no chance for the
voung man to clasp a girls slender
waist. Faces are not dangerously close,
fnd eyes-oh! eyes can't look into other
eyes any kind of tender looks. The
"tandem" takes all the flavor out Of
Strauss waltzing. However, 1t Is one Of
the distinct novelties. Here's one ad-
vontage-the tandem waltz will never
ruin the back of the waist of girls
dress.
