A drift is being run from the 230-foot
level in the Dacy shaft. while the shaft
itself is being driven down steadily,
and has reached a depth of nearly 27j
feet.
The diamond drill being operated by
Raum and associates on their claims at
this camp, has reached a depth of over
100 feet, and the cores extracted at that
depth gives indications of a rich ore
body.
Ore has been encountered on ground
adjoining Doyle & Nuts property
which assays something over 800 tc

Chapman are the lucky individuals who
made the strike while prosecuting work
on their lease.

BicnheiM'S New Pet Dag.

The BleIheim spaniel is in the as.
tendency now, with the grandest
danes in the English aristocracy, who
fancy caniLe pets. Ana to the Van
derbilt duchess of the house OF Marl-
borough belongs the credit for restor-
ing him in favor. Nearly every one
knows that the curly haired little
spaniel had for its ancestor q dog Of
unknown anteceleuts, who had the
good sense, as well as the bravery, to
frisk ut the heels of "Hanisome" John
Churchill, the first Duke Of MARI
borough, dnring the entire battle Of
Blenheim, which won for the general
dukedom. Churchill was affected by
the little spariei's attention and davo.
ton, and @henceforth adopted him az
the canine pet Of his household.
Lillian, the previous Duchess Of
Marlborough, did not, it seems, take
to the little doggie. But the present
Duchess has been reading up on the
past OF the Churchill family. and when
she found out the connection OF the
little spaniel with the historA of the
house, she adopted it rs her 8avorite
lap-dog. She carries it withfher On

Rats in a Street Car.

A downtown man who owns O rat
terrier, of which he is very proud,
spread CONSERVATION among the passen-
gers of a Tenth street car on Friday.
The dog had been given to him, with
a written guarantee that it would kill
rats as easy as falling off a log. The
new owner wanted to prove the dogs
ability in that line, so lie went to a
friend WHO keeps a big warehouse up
town, where rats are plentiful and
big, and secured a dozen OF them. He
put them In an oid-fashioned trap,
which he covered with paper to pre-
vent q too curious public from seeing
what he had. Then be boarded q Tenth
street car for home.
Everything went along smoothly
until the car reached the downtown
street where he was to get off. He
c'relessly picked up the trap by the
ring at the top andthe bottom dropped
out. The rats scurried all over the
floor. There were several women in
the car, and Of course they screamed
like fury. One of them actually

Sequence in Dreams.

Dreams are curious things About
a week ago a West Philadelphia girl
dreamed that she lost her watch, and
in the morning she looked in the place
where she always put her timepiece,
to discover that it was gone. This, OF
course, led her to believe that some
one had actually stolen it, and that
she was not dreaming, but was merely
in q half sleep. With this dishearten.
ing suspicion the crestfallen young
woman told her brother of the affair.
The brother had to visit various pawn
shops and station houses, give a care
full description Of the costly article,
and was kept hustliug around about
three or four days vairly ~endeayoring
to get a clue. But he finally aban-
doned all hopes OF recovering the lost
treasure. In the evening OF the very
day that her brother discontinued the
search the fair loser OF the time-piece
had another dream. This time she
dreamed that before retiring she had
hidden her watch in q shoe in the bot
tom of a closet. After rising next
morning. merely out of curiosity, she
went to the place designated in her
dream, and to her amazement there
beheld the innocent timepicce.-Phil-

to admit that his mother aud sister
were rather trying, and he found him

He WAS not surprised that Ellen

reflection of his wife's misery.
Mrs. Morrill, was SO overcome 10y
Ellen's tldings that her husband was

could not control herself sufficiently
to go down. With deft fingers Ellen
touched up tho bright hair, and
slipped o fresh handkerchief in her

hand through her arm, took her down
to the parlor. AS she softly closed the
door, she heard Mr.. Morrill, say with q
world OF tender reproach in his voice,
"Lucy!' and her face mantled red as
she said to herself, ''Ihat'll fetch her.
