THE DGPPER CLAIM.
Sends in Small Shipment of High
Grade Gold Ore.

Grade Gold Ore.
Already some excitement and interest
has been aroused over the fine show
ing made by some of the prospects IN
that locality, including the Gold Dollar
and the New State, the latter having
made several shipments of high grade
ore, and yesterday this interest was
considerably intensified over the receipt
of 3-ton shipment Of ore from the
Dipper mine, which adjoins the New
State on the east. The shipment is now
at the Conklin sampler, and if it runs
anything like what previous assays
have shown, it will pay S1S9 in gold to
the ton.
This lot of ore was taken from a
pocket at a depth of from only fifteen
to twenty feet, and in the bottom of the
shaft there is still an 1S-inch body Of
ore exposed that fairly glistens with
the yellow metal. This will be sunk
upon and it is the intention 10 make
another shipment at an early day.
The Dipper, which is a most prom
Using prospect, is owned by R. P. Nor
ris and VIM. Oscar Hamlet and John
Evans, of this city.

The stock market of yesterday main
strong and firm.
Before the hour for the daily call
at the stock and mining exchange,

streets al s2.Se a SHARE and the office
of the company was besieged early in
the day by buyers who wished to
transfer stock, and al! was expectancy
when Mammoth was first called in the
floor of the exchange. The first trans
fer was at $225, and then, like a
balloon, this stock wert up, skipping
ali the low places until the $40 mark
was reached: and OF the streets after
call, it was wanted in blocks of 1000
shares at $3.50.
Mercur also made strong showing
and sole readily at $685. and 81, the
president of the company, Mr.. John
Dern, being among the purchasers of
this stock.
Sunshine was again recalled as a IA
vorite and figured quite prominently
on the floor, the bulls and bears both
hitting it hard. From s2.4 bid at the
opening. the stock advanced to $3.50,
which was an advar ce of 10 cents over
the highest bid of the day before, and
at this figure 100 shares changed
hands.

vance in the bidding, while Centennial

vanced to S7.95 in the bidding, being
the highest point reached by this stock
since the opening of the exchange. The

as in the bidding it advanced from 65
TO rs cents. offered at 81.
Dalton was in fair demand at slight
ly advancing figures, and two sales
were recorded. AS most of the heavy
holders of Dalton paper have pooled
their stocks, there cannot be much

An Old Maids Pos,omee.

Postotiice Inspector Fisher has ie-
turned to Cincinnati and is now mak.
ing his report on the affairs Of the
Georgetown, Ind, postofiice. Fisher
went down expecting to straighten al
fairs up in an hour, but 1t took aim
two days.
He found the postoiIice in cottage
Of two rooms, the front one being the
Office and the rear the living room Tor
the old postmistress and her ten cats.
She had Just received the mail when
he arrived, and she refused to let him
in till she had distributed it. Tic
room was IS by 20, and the floor was
covered with mail FIVE feet deep.
Fisher sent for large handcart and
had this accumulation ofpag"c mail
hauled to the commons aud dumped
in a pile, where the villagers were al.
lowed TO sort out what belonged TO
them. There were forty-one cart
loads of it. One man found l47 pa
pers addressed TO him, some having
been there twenty years. The climax
came when Fisher found 1900 letters
carefully tied up in old dress skirts.
None of the letters bad been opened.
When more than one letter come for
the same person, the pOstmistress had
given out one and kept the Others.
This collection had evidently been be.
gun by her father, for some bore ihe
postmark Of August, 1876.

Strohschneider, the famous aeronaut,
astonished the natives Of Stockerau,
near Vienna, by carrying a young bar.
rister on his back along a tight rope,
eighty metres in length, fixed 10 the
church steeple. A few days later
flaming posters appeared on the walls
announcing that StrOhschneider would
effect balloon ascent in the company
Of Herr Pramper, the popular landlord
Of the White Rose.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
police had forbidden the landlord. who
has laIg. family, from taking part
in the performance, mine host entered
the enclosure at the appointed time,
to the no small delight Of the assem-
bled multitude. Alta given signalthe
balloon rose in the air, StrohscAnelder
and the landlord sitting on the traPeze
beneath. Some Of the spectators de-
clare that the latter turned as pale az
sheet during his upward Hight
though he did not fail to wave his hat
to the crowd. After reaching dizzy
height the two ballOOnists were OBJ

blows.
All at once the landlord plunged
headlong into space. A shout OF hOr-
Tor arose from the spectators, who ran
to the spot where they expected tc

A Strange Meeting on the Plains.

Mr.. John 4. Sewers, a brother Of
DR.. Sewers Of this place who Is in
Warrenton pending his difficulty with
the Spanish government for banish-
ment from Cuba on account of SYM
pathy with ,be Cubans, is gentle
msn who has travelled great deal
and in his unobtrusive way can make
an evening pass delightfully."- to his
friends. We hope that no confidence
is violated in the publication Of the
following incident.
Years ago, it may have been before
the war, Mr.. Sewers was driving -
herd of cattle from Texas 10 Kansas
aud stopped several days with tribe
of Indians to rest his men and stock.
Among the Indians was man dressed
like the Indians, but strongly resem-
bling a white man One evening. the
Indians came in with some of their
neighbors' scalps and then built a FIRE
and had war dance, the mysterious
figure dangling several scalps fresh
from his belt aud dancing like the
other Indians. At last Mr.. Sewers
asked the chief who he was and was
told he was white man whom the
chief would gladly have shot on a.
count Of the trouble he gave by st
ting drunk so frequently but that 'Ae
relations of his tribe to few wute
people they had met were pleasant anI
he spared this mans life for their s,Ar.
Mr.. Sewers then addressed the white
man and found out that his name wts
Glasscock. that he once lived in Clarke
or Fauquier county and that he had
run away from his wife and family be-
cause his home was not agreeable To
to him. He liked his new life aud no
persuasion that Mr.. Sewers could use
would induce him to return 10 hisr poo
ple. What became of him? No one
can tell. Mr.. Sewers moved on wih
his cattle and the incident was forgot
en- until it was brought to mind by
some one talking Of the man. Var

Grave Digger's Song.
BY ALFRED AUSTIN.

The crab, the bullace, and the sloe'
They burgeon in the Spring
And when the west wind melts the snow,
The redstarts build and sing
But Deaths at work in rind and root.
And loves the green buds best;
And when the pairing music 5 mute
He spares the empty nest
Death Death
Death is master of lord and clown,
Close the coffin, and hammer it down.
When nuts are brown and seer without
And white and plump within,
And juicy gourds are pasS'd about
And trickle down the chin;
When comes the reaper with his scythe,
And reaps and nothing leaves.
Oh. then it is that Death is blithe.
And supS among the sheaveS.
Death Death
Lower the coffin and slip the cord,
Death is master of clown and lord.
When logs about the house are stackd,
And next years hose is knit,
And tales are told and Jokes are crack d,
And faggots blaze and spit,
Death sits down in the ingle-nOok,
Sits down and doth not speak
Rut he puts his arm round the maid
that's warm,
And she tingles in the cheek.
Death Death
Death is master of lord and clown;
Shovel the clay in, tread it down.

George Perkins, the millionaire SEN
ator from California, was a cabin boy
once. He kept store for time and
that was the way he got his start. He
has made more money in store-keeping
and the steamship trade than he ever
made in mining.
Russell Sage, the wealthiest man in
New York, started in Troy as a store
keeper and sold dry goods over the
counter.
The enormous Astor fortune, which
is estimated now at $l25 900, 900, was
started with little stock of musical
instruments brought by the original
John Jacob Astor from London. From
musical instruments, Astor went to
trading for furs and so began the ac-
emulation of the wealth which was
to increase so enormously in the hands
of his children's children.
H. NJ. Flagler used to work in a
country store at S. a week. He grad
uated from that into the salt business,
where he got his start.
DR.. Norvin Green, who was for so
many years at the head of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, once
kept tavern and he was the keeper
of general store at one time and sold
dry goods at retail.

surprised, but nothing was said.
Pretty soon the bull gave another
grumble and then the parson became
frantic. He stopped short and, look

said Il now particularly request Mr.

more than the fiddler could stand.
Popping up in his seat he snapped ou.:

A Buster.

BOYS and men who have neither
travelled far nor read much sometimes
have contracted notions as to the size
of the globe We inhabit.
A country lad, brought up In the
mountains of West Virginia, once ac-
cOmpanied his father on visit to MS
uncle, who lived in an adjoining eoun-
ty. After his return home ne put on
airs, and often referred to his visit, re-
lating the sights" he had seen to ms
associates, who listened with open
mouthed wonder.
One day something was said about
the size of the world, when our hero
thus delivered himself:
Il tell you what, boys, If the world
Is as big out the other way as it is the
way me and pop was, she's a buster
