Tailings From the Mills

A rich strike ie reported on the Top
Notch claim, Smiths valley about five
miles from Kinds Hot Springs, Nevada.
The shaft Of the Wedge mine at
Randsburg is now down ESQ feet and the
ore is worth $4160 per ton. The shaft is
to be continued to Ais feet depth.
The old Helvetia mine, near Julian
San Diego county, has been bonded for
$4,000 to Denver men, and 120O-foot
tunnel is being run to tap the ledge at a
depth Of 700 feet.
A mine called the Utica is being de-
veloped eight miles east of Leon, Riv-
erside county, and shows great prom
ise. The cyanide process is to be used
in working the ore.
Very rich ore continues to come from
the Alameda mine near Johannesburg.
Kern county. Val Verde hill Is now

Fifty steam hoists have been sent into
Cripple Creek district, Colorado, in the
past three months, and the demand for
mining machinery in that state is larger
than it has been at any time since the
Leadville excitement of 1S79-SO.

great just now in Colorado. Aside from
Cripple Creek, Leadville is having gold
boom, and men are hunting for the metal
in the San Juan, Goose Creek and Lake
districts, while the old fields in Clear
Creek, Gilpin and Boulder counties are
being thoroughly prospected.
A discovery of the greatest import
ance has recently been made of an extern
sive coal deposit within twelve miles of
Randsburg by Messrs. Anderson, Hoff-
man, Carly and Quinn. A force of men
are now at work and their efforts are
meeting with great success. The vein
is now about four feet thick and seems
to be of an anthracite character, as it
can be used in the forge. 1t is estimated
that coal can be delivered in Rands.

liorns with nobody in sight with courage
to do it. Yesterdays meeting of the direc-
tors of the Riverside exchange closed
without action on the committee report
favoring independent organization. 1t was
merely received and placed on file without
even a motion to adopt The history Of
this break and the present status of the
case may be interesting. The resolution
OF withdrawal from the Southern Cali
fornia exchange was voted down once or
twice. but came up again at a meeting Of
the directors which was attended by quite
number of growers and association men,
1t was discussed generally and informally
and again voted down. After the growers
and several directors had withdrawn from
the meeting, with barely quorum of the
directors present, 1t was decided that the
resolution should be voted on by the direc-
tors alone. The result was its adoption by
vote Of four for, one against, one not
voting. Thus the resolution has certainly
but four votes out of eleven-the number
of directors. At no subsequent meeting
have there been present more than nine of
the eleven directors. Perhaps that is why
a motion to reconsider has not been made.

The churches this morning showed the
effect Of the warm weather in small con-
gregations. People are either off for the
mountains or seashore or were keeping
cool at home. DR.. Williams Of the Metho-

too warm to go to church In manner that
seemed to imply that he feared they were
escaping the heat today at the risk Of
suffering greater discomfort from heat in
the future.

New Mining Strike

In 1872, or thereabouts, the Reed
Bros, cattle ranchers, prospected the
hillsides in the Cohuilla district near
them and discovered what they SUP
posed to be gold while out deer hunting
but which proved to be pyrites contain
ing gold, not rich enough to pay for de-
velopment. However, from time to
time miners dropped in and prospected
more or less. When the Stevens broth
ers were cutting wood they discovered
rich indications which assayed abou,
$29 in gold and silver. At this time Z.
X. Swart, who was connected with mines
near the Lost Horse, heard of that coun-
try and went over there prospecting. He
spent about six months, when he dis
covered the latest strike, which con-
tains ore running over $2S per ton.
There are over fifty claims now locat-
ed, not one of which fails to show gold
when horned out. All indications of
walls, surroundings, ETC., indicate re-
markably rich find. There Is plenty of
wood and water and every facility for
mining even low grade ores at a profit.

The appearance in London of a ver-
liable male soprano takes us back ''
says the St James Gazette, 'to the
eighteenth century. or, at the very least
to the days when Meyerbeer in the
latest Of his Italian operas-'Il Crociata'
wrote the leading part for a so-called
'sopranist.' But Rossini had a dozen
years before. in 'Tancredi,' substituted
for the male alto the female contraIto;
and in all this composers subsequent
operas the leading male part was as
signed to the tenor voice. A genuine
male soprano, then. is in the present day
a curiosity. Boy sopranos are, of course,
plentiful enough. But Mr.. Cunningham
Steele, who gave his first vocal recital
yesterday afternoon at Queens hall,
possesses clear, fresh soprano voice
and is full grown. mature man of &c
years Of age. He sang in simple style
with fair degree of expression" The
presence and nightly fine artistic per-
formance Of Tacianu at the Orpheum
Is convincing proof that there are
other" mature male sopranos.

cautiously watched the pale, thin face
of the novelist as he seated himself on

Stephen Crane did not appear surprised,
but watched with quiet expression the

loaded, fred and jumped to replace the
small cannon, overturned by the recoil.
was curious to know what was pa ss-

The author of 1.-The Red Badge of

pushed back his long hair out of his eyes
with his hat, and answered quietly:
Between two great armies battling
against each other, the interesting thing
Is the mental attitude Of the men. The
Greeks I can see and understand, but
the Turks seem unreal. They are shad-
ows on the plain-vague figures in black
indications Of a mysterious force"
BY this time the Greek army was in
full retreat.
As the last mountain gun was loaded
on the mules Stephen Crane quietly
walked down the hill. The Turkish ar

Easter Party.
For the psmocratic Advocate,

There is not more genial man in West
minister than her popular young Mayor, nor a
more charming hostess than his wife, Mrs.
Joseph W. Smith, and many hearts were made
glad on Saturday afternoon last, when num-
Der of little folks assembled at their hospitable
home, No. 70 West Main street, in response
to an invitation received a few days previ-
ously to attend an Easter party in honor of
their Young son, Master Joseph Smith, Jr.
The hour was from three to six, and every
minute of the time was enjoyed by the happy
little guests. Games of all kinds were in
dulged in, concluding with hunt for brightly
painted Easter eggs, which were concealed in
every conceivable hiding place, but were not
too closely hidden TO be discovered by bright
eyes and captured by eager little hands. The
eggs were decorated in gold, and each bore
the name of one of the little guests. The de-
lighttul feast of good thinge provided so boun-
tifully in the diningroom was not the least at
tractive feature of the afternoons festivities,
and was most heartily enjoyed by all. The
promenade to the table was led by Master Joe
with little Miss Henrietta Roop, who were
followed by the others in pairs and formed
very charming picture. Those present were
Misses Caroline and Sue Billingslea, Alice
and Harriet Miller, Josephine Matthias, Hen
rietta and Isabel Roop, Mary and Katherine
Lynch, Louise Reifsnider, Carrie Kennedy,
Leila Schaeffer and "Baby'' Mcdaniel; Mas
tc~s Joe and Lamotte Smith, j. Smith Billings
lea, j. Newall Graham, Shriver Herring,
Allen Sharrer, Roberts Matthias, Edward All
ison and Ted Kennedy, of Westminster;
Misses Margaret and Hida Bennett, of Finks-
burg, and Clarence Lowe, of St. Michaels.
