Women's Meetings.

Those of us who belong to clubs and
societies-and what woman does not
nowadays ARE often struck with the
remarkable waste of time in the meet
lngs of women's boards and commit
tees. 1t is not that the members are
generally unpunctual--one or two un-
businesslike members, of course, can
always be counted on to arrive from
ten minutes to half an hour late; but
as the meeting commences without
them they are the only ones that lose
the time. No, the waste is in the num-
Der Of hours spent in doing what might
be thoroughly and completely done in
half an hour if only irrelevant sugges-
tions, tedious discussions and useless
business were ruled out. Why is it
necessary for a committee meeting
once month and having several able
subcommittee to spend an entire
morning from 10 to l o'clock discussing
not only what has been done and what
is to be done, but also, with infinite
particularly, what might be done,
what had better not be done, and what
other clubs in other circumstances find
It wise to do? This is not a fancy pfct-
ure. How often one hears the familiar
dialogue between two women:
You did not get to the meeting this
morning"
No. L knew it would take the whole
morning, from breakfast to lunch, and
1 could not spare three hours of the
best part of my day. If it had been one

it! What did you do?"
"Oh, about the same thing as usual.

that she responded to the gentle

she had been so distant, so cold, al

Then she laughed at his witticisms, and
there was something in her manner
that invited him to draw his chair
closer to hers. OF course he accepted
the invitation, and almost before he
knew it he found himself whispering all

THE vALEo a WONDER.
Destined to Make One of the Great
est Mines at the Park.

Destined to Make One of the Great
est Mines at the Park.
Broker r. L. Colburn, who made a
pilgrimage to the Park on Sunday OF
this week, brings back with him a
wonderful story concerning the Valeo
mine, which is one of the youngest and
yet richest producers in the state.
In fact, the Valeo is showing up in
such magnificent shape that it is now
one of the most-talked of mines IN
Park City, where it is predicted that
it will find a place in the list at an
early day as one of the most prolific
dividend payers in this western coun-
try; and although the mine has barely
passed the period when it might still
be termed a prospect, the stock of the
company is selling readily at 81 a
share.
AS is well known by Herald readers,
the developments in the Valeo COM
prise short tunnel, the face of which
opened W. a magnificent body OF nigh
grads ore from which assays have
been obtained showing from 400 to
800 ounces silver. 81 to 80 per cent
copper and from $40 to $160 in gold to
the ton, and it is stated that wagon
load of ore a day from the mine will
pay all working and development eX-
penSeS.
The Herald is informed that $4,000
shares of the treasury stock of the
company has been Withdrawn from the
market and that the incorporation has
900 in its treasury at the present
time and as shipments of high grade
ore are being made regularly, it is
only question of a short time before
the payment of dividends will begin.
In the lower tunnel that is being run
to cut the ledge at a much greater
depth, it is expected that the ore body
will be encountered within the next 80
feet, and when this connection is made
it is believed that the stock will ma
terially increase m value.
Mr. Hudson brought back with him a
button of bullion that was reduced
from a spoonful of ValeO ore in a
blacksmiths forge. The button was
as large as the end of a little finger,
and is rich in silver and gold.
Frank Hardness, of Salt Lake fame,
is now conducting a stock brokerage
in Park CITY. and Mr.. Hudson states
that he is doing a rafting good bust
ness.

LEFT FOR EAGLE VALLEY.
Colonel Pickett Will Visit His Val
liable Gold Properties.

Colonel H. L. Pickett of this city
left last night for the south for the
aurpose of making a personal inspec-
ton of a group of gold claims in Eagle
valley district, in which he is heavily
interested.
Eagle valley is situated west and
south of The State Line district, and
during his stay in that region Colonel
pickett will stop over at Line City and
make a thorough inspection of that
camn which, from all accounts, is forg-
ing raDidly to the front.
The pickett group of IA claims, men
tion of which has been previously made
in these columns, was the first discov-
erv TO be made in that locality, and it
Immediately adjoins the group of 40
claims located by Hon. A. g. Campbell
and his associates.
ON the Pickett group, as well as on
The ground owned by Mr. Campbell,
there is an immense ledge of gold
bearing rock, so large in fact that it is
almost beyond belief, and The Herald

and that the values run from $40 to $50

in the precious metals to the ton, and
that in some instances very high as
says are obtained.
At the present time work is being
pushed in the development of the Pick
EFT group, and it is more than likely
that the visit of the colonel to Eagle
valley Will result in the erection of a
mill on the ground for the treatment
of the ore; and this, without doubt.
will give a decided impetus to the
growth of the camp.
For the past few months Mr.. Trout
man, who is also interested in the
group, has been at work with his as
sistants in making improvements on
the property, and now has fine cabin
on the ground, a blacksmith shop and
stables, so that he has every conven-
fence at hand for steady work in the
development of the mines, which, from
all accounts, will open UP into mag
nificent producers.
Mr.. Campbell is also hard at work
in opening uD his ground and there is
every reason to believe that there will
be quite a camp in that locality in the
spring.

SHOWING IN THE oPEx MINE
The Bottom of the Shaft in ebert
and Lime

]. Fred Corker, the secretary of the
Mammoth mine, who made visit to
this camp the first of the week, in
forms The Herald that this portion of
Tintic district is pushing rapidly to
the front at the present time, and that
the town as well as the mines is max
ing a most excellent showing, and that
Eureka will have to look after her
laurels as being the largest camp in
the district if Mammoth continues to
grow in the future as she has during
the past year.
During his stay in Mammoth, Mr.
Corker made a visit of inspection to
the OpeX mine, concerning which there
has been considerable talk of late in
mining circles, and he states that this
property is in a most promising con-
dition with indications that ore will
be found within the next 80 days.
The OpeX is located on what is con-
fidently believed to be an extension of
the Centennial Eureka vein, and well
known prominent mining men in this
city, Eureka and Mammoth are back
ing their judgment in this matter with
good, hard cash, which is certainly an
indication that the property is pos
sessed of considerable merit.
At the present time the Opex shaft
which is equipped with a fine steam
hoist is down TO the Z9O-fOOt level, the
bottom being in lime that is streaked
and spotted with ebert, which, in the
CentenniaIz Eureka mine, is almost a
sure indication of the near presence OF
ore.
With this encouraging showing TO
go on, work is being pushed with three
shifts under the management of P j.
Donohue. superintendent of the Nam
moth mill, who, With his associates,
has unbounded faith in the future of
the mine.
On one side of the O9ex is the En-
erald workings, on which there is a
good steam hoist. while on the other is
the Tennessee Rebel and the Bobbie
Dodler group. on which a steam hoist
viii be erected at an early day, and
these three workings win be almost
on a line with each other. The shaft
on the Rebel is now down to the 60
foot level, and it is said that the show
ing in this property is of a most en-
couraging nature.

The Alice Mine.

Regarding the Alice mine at Walker
vile, Mon, which is largely owned by
Salt Lake people, the Butte Inter
Mountain says:
To the majority of people the record
being made by the Alice company is
surprising, as the mines owned and be-
ing operated by it are supposed by the
general public to be strictly silver-pro-
ducing. But such is not entirely the
case. The ore of the Alice carries a
large percentage of gold, and were it
not for this fact the operations of the
corporation would not be so successful.
A 10O-foot shoot of ore that averages
from $25 to $40 per ton in gold and
from 100 to $50 ounces in silver has
recently been opened up in the Blue
Wing, one of the Alice company's prop
critics, but very little has been said
about it. The strike was made in new
ground at the 300-foot level, and has
been opened for more than 100 feet
in length. 1t extends up and down for
hundreds of feet from the 300. and the
four, five and sixth levels are being
driven into il. The work of eXplora-
ton in this part of the Blue Wing has
been in progress for nearly three
months. The company has half a mile
of virgin ground both at the surface
and below in this property. The ore
extracted from the Blue Wing is sold
at the SmelterS.
