Roy. Mclean. Farewell.

Rev. T. D. Mclean preached his farewell sermon at the Congrega- tional church last night. On ac- count of this service, DO services were held in the Methodist church, tho pastor and congregation of that church uniting in the farewell ser vice. Rev. II. A. Brown, of the Episcopal church, was also present. and read the scripture lesson of the evening.
 The church was beautifully dec- orated for the occasion with fes- toons of evergreens. similax and flowers.
 Rev. Mclean chose for his theme St. Psuls farewell to the Corin- thians, Finally Brethren, Farewell" :" He preached very practical and able sermon on this subject, point ing out that the only way to fare we'll and to enjoy the happiness meant m the term, was by leading good and pure lives, the elements of happiness and of taring we'll coming from within and not being depend ent on outward surroundings or cir | cumstances.
 A very interesting, as we'll as i'm pressive feature Of the services, was the exquisite organ playing by Mrs. R. Fl. Burmister. Although the in strument is a reed organ, Mrs. Bur mister manipulates it in such a ] skillful manner, that it could be easily mistaken for a pipe organ, the tone, as well as the expression, being perfect.
 At the conclusion of the services. ! the congregation remained to bid the retiring pastor their most hearty farewellS.
 During the time Rev. Mclean has been pastor of the above church, he has made many warm friends among our people generally, who regret his l departure.

A ear load shipped re- gently gave returns of 200 ounces in silver and five ounces in gold. In the face oE the tunnel now they have a three-fOot ledge of ore all the way across, but of which fifteen inches is rich enough to justify the name of the mine Monte Cristo. \ piece of this ore weighing 76 pounds is on exhibition in Kelly X Stephens window, and while DO as says have been made of it. lt Is safe to say that 1t will go over Sl ,000 per ton, as wire silver and stive silver can both be seen all through it. This ffteen-inch streak of ors is broken down aud shipped without any sorting whatever. the balAnc's of the ore across the ledge being sorted and the first class shipped. Samples of ore were recently sent in here from the Cataract country To De a-saYeus Whlch went nearly suu ounces in silver and Si5 per ton iu gold. The ore was obtained from recent locations.
 A deed to the Ferndale mine. from Geo. D. Cooley to James 4. York; was recently filed for record. Also one from Louis T.. Carns to Annie l E MctaOwau for n uuuah har nf claims.
 It is stated that eighteen miles of pipe have been ordered in Chicago for the Bullard mine, in Santa Maria district. This will make about 50 ear loads. The operation of this mine means a large expenditure of money, and also means quite a streak of business for the railroad company for some time.

Louderback. general manager OF the
loop. had party Of interested OIL

None of them could precisely say
when the first regular trains will be-
gin to run. This depends upon the
signing Of loop leases by the Metro
politan and the Alley L. The loop 10
ready, the depots can be finished
within two or three days. the public
is anxious to have the benefits Of the
circle. but there it must stand un-
used until the hair splitting between
the Metropolitan. and Alley L and
the loop company 10 ended, or the
Lake Street L finds that its new traf-
fic from the Suburban and Harlem
lines is sufficient to warrant its u.s.
ing the loop alone. and thereby be-
coming responsible for the $250.OOO
annual interest charges.
