At Deerlodge.

Dan Mcleod, who has charge of
the present work at the Ross mines
was in from Eagle Valley district on
Saturday.
He was perfecting another option
on property in that vicinity. He re-
ports IA men at work on the Ross
doing general development work.
Surface improvements in the way of
new clubhouse, stable, etc. have
been erected and others are contem-
plated. The work goes on for the
Mountain View Mining Co, and o.
A. Palmer, of Salt Lake is general
manager.
Ben Johnson was also III town
from that section yesterday. He
has seven men at work on the Horse
shoe claim, owned by himself, Bob
Lund and A. g. Campbell. The
claim looks fine. There is plenty
of 800 90 ore and small seam that
runs as high as $1,000 to the ton.
One or two other claims, owned by
the same parties look equally well
and the futuae of that section is as.
sured.

Eastward Throughthe Rockies,
The Scenic Route.

The traveller, tourist or business
man is wise when he selects the Rio
Grande Western Railway "Great
Salt Lake Route" for his route to
the East. 1t is the only trans-con-
tinental line passing directly through
Salt Lake City, and in addition to
the glimpse it affords of the Temple
City, the Great Salt Lake and the
picturesque Salt Lake and Utah
Valleys, it offers the choice of three
distinct routes through the noun
tains and the most magnificent seem
cry in the world. Double daily
train service and through Pullman
and Tourist sleeping cars to Denver,
Omaha and Chicago. Monday Tues
day and Wednesday, of each week,
Pullman Tourist cars are run to
Boston via Chicago, without change.
Trains leave Salt Lake at S.45 a. m.
and TAO p. m. daily.
For pamphlets descriptive of the
"Great Salt Lake Route" write F.

From Sheriff Prudential who
returned last Monday from his trip
through the southern part of the
county in delivering election sup
plies, we get some good reports of
operations in two points of that dis
taDt but always interesting section.
At Searchight, he found many
of the men absent, all being inter-
ested in the pending sale there, of
the Searchlight and other claims,
owned by Dunn, Cotton and Basset.
The time of the option then existing
was about up, and the claimholders
were hopeful that its terms would
be carried out, in which event six
ty stamp mill will be built on the
Colorado river, ten miles distant on
a downhill grade. The ore on the
dumps of the Searchlight mines, of
which there is considerable guam
tity, will average 500. ton in gold.
This is one quartz ledge mining
enterprise which is in healthy con-
dition, but the matter of greatest
interest to that section, is the result
OF present hydraulic operations at
Temple Bar.
The company operating there is
about to make a cleanup on
months general test run, The
work OF preparing its big plant has
been in progress all summer and
for the past month about rs men
have been employed.
In the Spring of last year the
Company constructed large boom
across the river to catch driftwood
1t was destroyed by high water be-
fore it could be utilized. This year
another boom was built at great ex-
pense, but it proves dead piece of
work on account of Inducements
in the stream. Woodchoppers
have been employed, but the only
available wood is mesquite, limited
in quantity, and the Comdany is
now using stone coal which is
brought from Kingmsn at an ex-
pense Of $2S. ton.
-Four boilers, each OF rs. horse-
power have been erected. A thirty
inch suction pump draws water from
the river, which is forced through
six inch nozzle. THIS equals 1000
inches Of water passed through
a one foot aperture under 165 foot
head. per minute. Two hydraulic
jacks are provided. but only one is
in use at the present time.
Wages range from $3.50 to $500
d day, and the men in water work
eight lour shifts.
These improvements are all on |
the Nevada side of the river.
The placers extend for fifty miles
along the river, on the Nevada side
and the success of the present vent
are will result in the erection of
other plants o. similar character, as
the ground has all been located dur
ing recent years.
The Temple Bar Company's hold
ngs are all under bond to an Eng
ish Syndicate and the sale will be
made, or will fail, according to the
success of present operations.
A general cleanup will be made
between the 18TH. and Goth. inst.
The present operators are evident
y satisfied With the run, for the
grade from Kingman to

FROM DELAMAR.

Pools were selling on Tuesday
night after the polls closed. Out of
$1,000 in the pools about 500. was
Assembly money.
There was no excitement on cleo
ton day. Voters came and went
quietly and while candidates and
their friends worked, it was on the
q t.
The strength manifested by the
democrats was a surprise to many
here. 1t was known the party had
made strength but net to the degree
that the ballots showed in the final
count.
Accident At the Mine.
Last Sunday the 9th. inst. an
accident occurred at the DeLamar
mine in which Gus A. Nelson lost
his life. The LODE has the follow
ing account of it.
About 2 P. NJ. Sunday, Gus. A.
Nelson, whose home is four miles
East of Murray. Utah and who went
to work in the DeLamar mine last
Thursday morning, walked off into
a shute, while hurrying up on to the
surface, At this time he was assist
ing Chris Amman in running car
on No. 3 and had been shown all
the shutes and been cautioned.
As they dumped the last car, Pete
Savovich, who was working in the
ore shute that they were filling,
called to Nelson to take the place of
Amman's old partner, who was
leveling the waste down in the stope.
Nelson said he had to go ON top
first and started off in considerably
of hurry and. instead of makiug a
short turn to take the drift to the
station went straight ahead and was
told to stop, which he did for an in
slant, then took two or three more
steps and fell over the dumping
block into a shute, falling about
ninety feet, breaking his back, arm
and otherwise bruising himself and
was picked up dead on No. S.
All who witnessed the fall, say
that it was purely accidental and
caused by his extreme hurry to
reach the surface. He was about 20
years of age and u large powerful
young man. His brother, Herber
Q. Nelson, is very much broken up
over the accident, but says no blame
can be attached to anyone.
superintendent Esselstyn did
everything in his power for the
corpse and the brother. Pat Dew
lin took them to Phoebe, where
arrangements have been made
to send them through to Milford as
fast as possible and then on to their
home.

The Walls Have Ears.

1t was radiant night in June, and,
as they walked slowly up the rose-lit
path from the quaint little gate by the
road, he bent his head lower aid
touched her cheek with his lips. She
looked up at him in surprise. Perhaps
he had been. hasty; perhaps it was not
his right to touch the shrine of his wor-
ship; perhaps the moon had never seen
a sight like that; perhaps the fragrance
of rose and honeysuckle had never
fallen on the air of June that lovers
breathe; perhaps she did not know the
measure of his heartbeats; perhaps
perhaps oh, word uncertain, filled with
the mystery of man and woman. His
eyes met hers, tremulouS with emotion
unspoken, and they moved silently
toward the house, with his arm about
her shoulders, as comrades walk. You
are the most beautiful woman L ever
saw" he whispered-''theo one woman
in the whole world 1 love" AS she
threw her arms about his neck in rap;
ture the four walls of the house fell to
the earth with dull thud. That man
and that woman had been married ten
wears! IN. Y. Sun.

II was frisnd--I am-to you, Miss
Meredith" he impetuously retorted.
'sHeaven knows we have no quarrel,
whatever may lie between yoIr father
and me. ] did not venture my name for
that very reason; it was SO sweet to
meet you again so nearly on the footing
of an old friend. So long as had no
name you thought me gentleman
you have said so; and for just so long
you accorded me the same measure of
kindness that you might have given to
any other man under the same circum-
stances. 1t was stolen pleasure, GER
tainly; but it has given me one good
hour to remember out of many bad ones
at Windy Gulch. If you grudge it to
me, am sorry; but for the thing it
self-my sin of omission, if you please
II shall not pretend to be sorry in the
least. am glad of it, and always shall
be, whatever you have to say, Miss Mere
dith.'
The girl rode on for a couple of min
utes in silence, with little scornful air
of ignoring his existence; then, as
though of sudden bethinxing herself,
she looked around, her cheeks flaming
red, her eyes shining with a brightness
which seemed perilously akin to tears.
81 suppose it would be waste OF time
to discuss the point of honor IN the
case" she said, tartly. 'And I am sure
need not trouble you to come any
farther, Mr.. - Neil" bringing out the
name with evident disrelish.
"All right" he acquiescently re-
joined, checking his horse at once.
Butt wish we could part friends,
Miss Meredith
"Ah, we can never be friends-never!
Can you not see that?"
There was an odd flash in Harvey
Neils eyes as he leaned forward, intent
ly regarding her averted face for an in
slant, and his voice was exquisitely gen.
tie as he impetuously exclaimed: Il be
lieve you are almost as sorry to say
/ that, Miss Meredith, as I am to hear
you. And if that is so, we are friends,
in spite of everything"
''Never!" she vehemently retorted,
giving the horse smart touch with the
whip; and without another word she
dashed away down the hill, leaving him
looking blankly after her.

Of course, in nine cases out of ten no
harm might be done; but then, again
you might regret it,"

was in assuming that you were not-a

red, frank modification in her eyes.

claimed.
"Oh, by no MEANS" her chin very
much in the air. Il never trouble to
hate strangers"
"But it was a mere question of time,
I suppose" he gloomily went on, hard
~ addressing the remark to her. "Soon
or late you were bound to have it in for
me-"
There was startled questioning in the
girls swift glance, and then she looked
away "Did you say it had stopped
raining?" she asked, stiff1y, after mo-
ment.
i "I believe it has," he duly rejoined,
going to the door to look out again.
''Yes; it has stopped. L suppose I
would better go for the horses"
The spirit OF frank good-fellowship in
which they had renewed their uncon-
ventional acquaintance in the shelter of
| the old hut seemed to have been lost in
it's shadows. In almost sullen silence
they rode along over the rough trail
making toward the turning to the Mas
cot mine. AT first she coldly protested
against his coming with her, but he said
that it had grown too late for him to
ride on then to the ranch for which he
had started out; he would have to make
the trip another day; and now, if she
really did not mind, he would prefer to
go back. With chill Indifference Miss
Meredith assented, and then they rode
along with the silence scarce broken
but for the splashing fall of garnered
rain-drops from the branches overhead
and the sucking sound of the horses
hoof-beats in the sodden ground. Once

they came to the point where she had
missed the way, he remarked that it
would have been strange if she had dis
covered trail so hidden by the crowd
ing, quaking asps; but she answered
him only in monosyllables, and he
presently abandoned all effort toward
sociability.
They were equally relieved, perhaps,
when they finally came out on the brow
of the hill at the west of the Mascot
mine. The constraint was becoming
almost unbearable. at will not be
necessary for me to bore you much long
er, you see," the young man observed, a
touch of satire in his smile. For the
narrowness of the way they had been
riding single file, and he had waited
here for her to come up beside him.
