Of it, vii probably be operated under a
lease. 1t is situated in location ON the
south side OF Sheep Mountain, that will
not be interfered by snow slides, and
could be operated all winter.
8. H. Caldwell has been pushing work
ON his mine in Bear Mountain, and has
taken out some good specimens Of ore,
but not for shipment, as he is only doing
development work, to strike the contact.
The Crystal Mountain Mine is still
working in the crystal and spar formation
not having reached the hanging wall yet.
The flow OF water noted last week has
rather diminished.
The Belle of Titusville shaft is com
pleted and the power drills are perfor-
ating the breast OF the drift at the fifty
foot level The contact will be struck at
about fifty feet from the shaft, where a
body Of ore will probably be opened. A
sump at the bottom of the shaft catches
the water during the hours of the day
shift, and the pump removes it during
the night.
The Lead King has suspended taking
out ore for a short time in order to do
some development work in the shaft and
the drift at the fifty foot level, where it
ia believed q larger body Of ore will be
tapped.
At the Mineral Point great deal Of
ore is being broken and also some de-
yelopment work being pushed. An up

and considerable development work done
in the tunnel.

On Whitehouse the ore bodies continue
to produce about the same amount as
for the past month, and shipments come
down by jack train.

Sheep Mountain.

No single mountain in Colorado con-
tains more rich mineral than Sheep
Mountain, and we doubt il there are SO
many valuable properties idle in like
territory any place in the state. This
is due to various causes, embracing high
cost of transportation, litigation, specu-
lative holders, and the low price of sill
yer bullion.
One of the companies holding desirable
mines is composed of MessrsJ. B. Wheel
er, Woodard, Cochran, Dudley, and 9th
ers, owning the Black Eagle and Stanley
two silver propositions, that have shown,
respectively, bodies OF 400 and 1900
ounce ore.
The Midland Is q remarkably rich lead
proposition within gunshot Of camp,
which carries a vein Of pure ore four
feet in width. The ore is cut into in a
hundred and twenty foot tunnel. The
Midland contact Is one Of the strongest
in the Rock Creek mining district and
can be traced for a mile.
The Black Queen and Fargo mines, in
litigation since 1890, are almost fabulous
ly rich. In the former $4,000 worth Of
silver ore is blocked out and ready to be
broken.
The Adams Prospecting Company
owns thirteen mines and prospects
good ones-on Sheep Mountain. Among
them the Sweet Home, Mountain Chief,
and Evening Star. The latter, entirely
undeveloped. was stumbled on by some
prospectors in 80. who not knowing it
was already patented property, were on
the point OF beginning work on it. An
offer of $4,000 was refused by the Adams
Company, for the Evening Star, and
they also declined to lease.
The Sheep Mountain Tunnel, with
some three thousand feet of workings,
has shown very high values. This prop
erty is now closed owing to the very low
price Of silver.
The Inez properties, consisting OF
fourteen claims. which recently closed,
pending a settlement of the financial
problem is one Of the best looking mines
of the district, and high grade propo-
sition OF gold and silver values.
There are dozens of splendid prospects
on the rugged monarch, but in the above
sketch we have only mentioned a few Of
known value. Some day from Sheep
Mountain will be taken gold, silver and
lead enough to pay of the national debt.

A Crystal Young rlan's Golden Rules


Never be afraid to ask for anything in
reason.
Don't read trashy books because athey
have pretty covers.
Look at the beam in your own eye first
then speak of the one in your neighbors.
Don't praise man to the skies to one
person and then stab him in the back to
another.
Never try to lead another into dishon-
esty because your own conception OF
right is perverted.
Don't be too modest in proposing to a
young lady. If you are, you may lose
the chance Of your life.
Remember that tn. all-seeing eye is
upon you, and your thoughts are known
to Him, il not to others.
Never do person any injury with the
hope Of benefiting yourself. II you do
you are traitor to mankind.
Never look savage at other people, you
might make them think you mean mis-
chief, and thereby get hurt yourself.

Telephone Exchange.

Mr.. r. F. Hoggsett, manager Of
the Teche & Vermilion Telephone
Company, was in Lafayette this
week attending to some business
connected with the local exchange.
The telephone service given by
MIR. Hoggsett's exchange, has, we
believe, been satisfactory. The
exchange has undoubtedly been of
great benefit to the people of the
town and if it is extended the pat
ronage that it deserves it will prove
of far greater advantage in the fu-
ture. 1t must be remembered that
Mr.. Hoggsett was the first to VEN
ture into the telephone business in
Lafayette, and if for no other rea-
son, he is entitled to our thanks.
Miss Desbrest, the manager of the
exchange, is ever prompt and ac-
commodatine and does everything
il, her power to give to the patrons
of the line frst-class service.

Auction Sale of Church Pews.
To The Lafayette Gazette:
LAFAYETTE, La, April 2z, 1897
Easter Sunday is an eventful &C.
casion in Lafayette, hardly more so
on account of the religious circum
stance it commemorate than for
the annual auction sale of pews in
the Catholic church, that always
takes place Immediately after high
mass On that day.
The use of the pews for a term
of one year is sold to the highest
bidders, and, as the demand for the
most desirable seats always exceeds
the supply, the bidding is spirited,
often finding expressions in out
ward manifestations of enmity that
another, at which time the oppor-
tunity offers itself to ssget even"
To intensity the interest on this &C.
casion it is the custom to remove
unsold, to ensure that none may
enjoy the use of these without
being entitled to that privilege
by having paid the rental fee.
The entire affair naturally engen
ders much ill-feeling, which fact
causes the more thoughtful men,
bers of the church to deplore the
annual recurrence of an event that
creates and fosters dissension, and
the congregation longs for another
means of alloting church seats in
better accord with religious senti-
ment. IAYMAN.

BALKAN AGAIN
In Trouble-He is Charged With
A Serious Offense,

Gustave Ludovic Ballain, who
has gained some undesirable noto-
riety upon different occasions, is
again in trouble. He was arrested
Thursday morning by Deputy
Sheriff Mouton and placed in Jail.
The charge against BALKAN is as
sault and battery and attempt to
kill and murder a woman named
Celestine Kadare and the affidavit
makes the additional allegation that
he tried to kill Virginia Allemand.
1t appears that Ballain made the
assault which resulted in his arrest,
while at the notorious resort of
Madame Baptiste in the suburbs of
the town.
when Ballain was arrested he af-
falcted to cry and became very de-
monstrative.
If the affidavit against Ballain is
supported by evidence, he will very
likely serve term in the peniten-
tiary.

Hannegan.McFaddin.

Another pretty wedding, similar
in some respects to the one of the
previous day, inasmuch as the same
arch and bell were used, was SOL
emnlzed at the Presbyterian church
ON Wednesday afternoon at 2
o'clock. The bride, Miss Mary
McFaddin, being one of Lafayette's
most popular young ladies, and the
groom, Mr.. Ambrose flanagan, a
resident of Arkansas.
Loving hands had transformed
the church into a veritable fairy
land; palms, ferns, moss, evergreens
and spring flowers being exquisitely
combined.
At the first chord of Memberships
wedding march, excellently exc
cuted by Mrs. J. J. Davidson, the
ushers, Messrs. Hopkins and Nor
gan, parted the drapery and leading
the march, were followed by six lit
tie flower girls, wearing wreaths of
Confederate jessamines. Then on
the arm of her maid of honor, Miss
Susie Hopkins, came the winsome
bride, daintily dressed in white or
CANDY exquisitely trimmed with lace
and ribbon; a pretty hat of white
clip straw and bouquet of white
and green blossoms completed this
charming toilette. At the altar the
bride was met by the groom who
entered from the rear of the church.
The tableaux formed in front of the
The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1897-04-24

altar was one ever to be remem-
bered as thing of beauty. The
party marched out by the lively
strains of Lohengrin's march. Tie
maid of honor was picture of
maiden lovliness, her costume be-
ing white and green organdy, the
same colors predominating in the
trimming of her hat and the ar
rangement of the bouquet she
carried. The little flower girls,
Misses Quintella Morgan, Alice
Moss, Rena Hopkins, Lillian Van
dercruyssen, Hilda Schmulen and
1nez Biossat, were indeed little
elves in their light aud airy dresses
and not sweeter or fairer were the
flowers they carried. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. H.
Wallace. Numerous presents were
received by Mr.. and Mrs.
flanagan who left for their
home in Hope, Arkansas, on
the $3.50 train.
Many friends we're at the depot
to bid the bride goodbye, and if
good-wishes and rice bring good
luck, certainly this couple will
fare we'll in the future.
