THE CHRISTMAS STOCKING.

And on the dawn
OF Christmas morn
Ny childish heart was knocking
A Wild tattoo,
AS 'twould break through,
As 1 unhung my stocking.
Each simple gift that came to hand,
How marvellous l thought It'll
A treasure straight from Wonderland
For Santa Claus had brought 1t.
And at my cries
OF glad surprise
The others all came 1ocking
To share my glee
And view with me
Inc contents of the stocking.
Years sped-I left each weil-loyed scene
In Northern wilds to roam,
And there, mid tossing pine trees green,
/ made myself a home.
We numbered three
And blthe were we,
AT adverse fortune mocking,
And Christmastide
By our freside
Found hung the baby's stocking.
Alasi within our home tonight
NO sweet young voice Is ringing,
And through its silent rooms no light
Free, childish step Is s%pringing.
The Wild winds rave
Ger baby's grave
iWnere plumy pines are rocking,
And crossed at rest
On marble breast
Inc hands that filled my stocking.
With misty eyes but steady hand
l raise my Christmas chaiice;
Here's to the children Of the land
In cabin or In palace;
May each one hold
Thu key of gold
The gates of glee unlocking.
And hands be found
The whole world round

Hardy who came down to look after
its sale says 1t viii bring values of $40
in gold and 80 per cent lead.
The ore from the Jennie is hauled by
team from the mine TO Kelton, a dis
lance of about 90 miles.
The Jennie is the only mine now
working in the Connor's Creek coun-
try at present" said Mr.. Hardy yester-
day.
There are plenty of good prospects
but the trouble is they are owned by
farmers who are too poor to develop
them themselves, and they are not in
clined to let any one else do so for a
certain interest
IF any one talks to them With the
object of buying mining properties, it
is not unusual 10 be confronted with a
proposition for a large amount of. cash
money down. even if the property be-
ing considered hasn't pound of ore in
sight.
This is the very thing that is re-
tarding the development of the coun-
try. The owners of the, claims seem 10
think that if they give up any interest
in order to get a property developed,
the result would be that they would
eventually be frozen out"
Mr.. Hardy believes that as soon as
these claim holders either sell out at
reasonable prices or else allow capital
TO develop their prospects for them, the
country will enjoy an era of prosperity.

The special committee of three, to
which had been referred a resolution
introduced by the committee on judi
cial administration and remedial re-
form, reported that it thought amend
ments to the law should be asked of
congress to provide an appeal from
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals from interlocutory orders of ap-
pointment of receivers and interlocu-
tory orders granting temporary re-
straining orders. The convention ap-
proved the report, and instructed the
committee appointed to present the
matter to congress and urge amend
mentS to provide for an appeal in the
two classes of cases named.
An important paper ON bribery was
read by Adolph Moses of Illinois. He
called attention to the decision of the
supreme court in the Counselman case,
which caused congress to amend the
inter state commerce act of 1898 TO eff

DoAN COPPER MINES.
An Iron Mine That Produced One
Hundred Tons Daily.


A special from Cheyenne, Wyo., to the
Denver News, says a party consisting
of Sam Wilcox, Harry Upper, James
Bennett. Harry Brown, Henry Hell
phenstein and Adam Locks have re-
turned from an extended trip through
the North Park and Battle Lake min
ing districts. On the trip the party Wis
tied the Dodn mine, a rtAh copper mine
from which the daily output is $1,000 a
day. They report that the mines in
this district cannot be worked in win
ter on account of the deep SHOWS. and
on this account the largest possible
number of men are employed during
the summer months. Many prospectors
have located rich claims, many of which
give promise of even excelling the
Doan.
Placer mines are also being worked
During the party's stay quite a heavy
snow fell. In a short time number
of the party will return and continue

Gated. many of Which give promise of
being very rich.
tract for hauling the Hartville iron ore
to the cheyenne & Northern railroad.
returned to the city this morning. When
asked about the condition and develop
ment of the mines. he said:
The Good Fortune iron mine in the
Hartville district is being worked on a
more extensive scale than ever. Colonel
Norris, the superintendent, has put on
two good working shifts of men. one
day and one night shift. This being
necessary to keep the army of teams
now employed in hauling sufficient ore.
The Good Fortune as it now aDpaars
has an immense body CT ore in sight
a breast OF 20 feet or solid iron. with
an unknown width. 1t pitches toward
the mountain somewhat on an incl ne of
about IS degrees. The number of tons
that can be taken from the mine is
beyond estimation at present. but from
appearances wouH supply 200 tons
daily for term of five years. The COM
pany deserves great credit for develop
ing the mine at, this time, as it has
done more to cause prosperity in the
north part of Laramie county than any
other one industry for years
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-08-28

the 250-foot level. The drift cut the
vein few days ago, giving indications
OF a large body of ore, of good values.
From another level a tunnel has been
run for the purpose of ventilating the
mine.
The 1essees of the Hidden Treasure are
rejoicing over a rich find recently made
in that property. and the boys expect
to make some money out of their work.
Shipments are being made regularly
from the Argent. The ore from this
property carries about 60 per cent lead,
which makes it a paying proposition
outside of the so ounces of silver per
ton which it carries.
Another property which gives indi-
cations of good values in lead is the
Tip Top at present being worked by
Sawyer Brothers.
Some other prospects are being
worked in Dry canyon, and at the
Mona great deal of money is being
spent The pipe line viii soon be COM
pleted and il is said that as soon as
this happens Mr.. Osborn will put the
old pump through a teaching process.
Now that it has been decided 10
adopt the straight cyanide process at
the Chloride Point, no time Will be lost
in getting to work building the mill,
and some men are now at work. The
number of teaching tanks will be
greater than at first intended, and the
tank room larger. but otherwise the
plans VIII be the same as at first pro-
posed. A search is being made for
water near the mill site, which prob
ably viii not be hard matter, as
there are a number of springs lower
down. and water has been encountered
in various parts of the workings There
are 10 men at work on the property
now and the connection between the
Shaft and the tunnel is likely to be
made at almost any time now.
As mentioned in The Herald some
time ago, a new shaft was started on
the north end of the Boston & Mercur
company's ground, about 1000 feet
from the Boston Shaft. Already the
ore body has been reached, and sam
pies show as heavy values as found in
the rest of the property. A drift will
be started south. at the 100-foot level,
to connect with the Boston shaft, and
at each hundred feet below drifts will
be run in the same direction. All the
ore viii be brought up the Boston
shaft. While there was little chance
70 doubt the existence of the vein
throughout the La Cigale property, it
is gratifying to know that the theory
is demonstrated.

favorable looking matter was encoun-
tered a few days ago in the west cross
cut, but the company decided to push
ahead until the contact is reached
which ought to be in the next 40 feet.
George Adams of the board of direc-
tors, speaks most encouragingly of the
prospects.
Shipments from the district for the
week are as follows: From the Bull
lion Beck, 20 carloads ore; from the
Centennial Eureka, 2 carloads ore;
from the Eureka Hill, 10 carloads con-
centrates: from the Gemini, carloads
ore; from the Humbug, 4 carloads ore;
from the Uncle Sam, 4 carloads ore
from the Mammoth carloads ore;
from the Sioux mill, 2 carloads tail
ings; from the Swansea, 8 carloads ore;
from the Dragon iron mine, 2 carloads
ore daily.
The Mammoth mine is reported to
have met the exigencies of the times
and to have developed many new
bodies of high grade gold ore. A ship
ment of this class is now in readiness.
The Mammoth always was a gold prop
esition, and new discoveries Of this ma
circulated in Mammoth to the effect
that the mine was TO close down seems
to have been without foundation.
The Four Aces was shut down Sun
day and Monday on account of a
break down of the hoist.

ing the April shaft, west of the Beck,
preparatory to the annual assessment
work
E. N. Jenkins let contract Sunday
for so feet more of drifting on the $50
foot level of the Kappies group at Sill
yer City. The indications are reported
as very favorable.
About half the force was laid off at
the Grand Central last Saturday, but
several have been put back to work
during the week and the usual force
will doubtless soon be employed again.
Superintendent John A. Kirby of the
Bullion Beck mine was down to Pay
son last Saturday examining the Edo
RADIO mine, near that place. He speaks
very favorably in regard to that sec
ton.
The recent Buckeye assessment will
be delinquent next Tuesday, but are
advised that the stockholders are rap
idly paying up, and that there will be
very little, if any, of the stock sold for
delinquency.
The Lower Mammoth comes to the
front again this week with another rich
ore strike made on Tuesday. The ore
runs we'll in silver, gold and lead, and
also carries a high percentage of iron

The Wasatch mine in the Beaver
Lake district is being developed into a
very promising property. and the own
ers feel certain it viii become a great
producer in the near future.
Mr.. L. n. Morrison, one of the d.
reetors of the company. yesterday re-
ceived returns from five samples sent
10 Montana to be assayed. The result
was as follows:
No. /: $50 gold; 50 ounces silver; GO
per cent lead. No. .. S24 gold: 129
ounces silver; 81 per cent lead. No. 8:
Trace in gold; 20 ounces silver; 50 per
cent lead. Ne. 4: Sl2 gold: 81 ounces
silver; 20 10 per cent lead. No. 3: SIG
gold; 30 ounces silver; 75ls per cent
lead.
These values, Mr.. Morrison says,
were taken from an eight inch streak
of black colored rock, which had been
considered as being barren Of values.
The result of the assay was a great
surprise TO MIR. Morrison. and il has
caused him to become more enthusiasts
tic than ever over the value of the
ground.
The shaft is now down to a depth of
DC feet. and a. the bottom an extremely
hard strata Of rock has been encoun-
tered; only about foot day can be
cut through.
MI Morrison says every particle of
rock being taken out of the shaft at the
present time will show values.
