A Brave Briton.

When the attack was made on Sidon,
during the war with Syria, it became
necessary for the British troops to ad-
vance across a long, unprotected bridge,
in the face of a battery of six guns,
which completely commanded the ap-
proacb. The men were unwilling to ex
pose themselves to certain death, when
Arthur Cumming, carefully dressed in
full uniform, stepped forward TO the
middle Of the bridge. 1t was immedi'
ately swept by the fire Of the battery.
When the smoke had rolled away, there
stood Cumming intact, carefully brush.

An Immense Strike of Rich Ore
in the KlOudyke, One of the

BIGGEST STRIKE AT hEIHARf FOR
MANY YEARS.
Good Reports from the Queen
aud other Properties.

For the past four or five years Geo.
and Thns. Dryer, Dan Kettles and Mike
Murphy have been Mt odd times working
on q group Of three Claims on the south
side of Badly, near the source of Eagle
creek. The claims running from south
to north. covering II distance Of three
quarters OF II mile, in their regular order
ARE the King Solomon, Little Allen, and
White Metal. The first named aud far

its south end with the Banner and Bald

To the southeast OF the King Solomon
are the claims of the wcil-known Mar

on the mountain side, the latter reaching
within 500 feet Of the south end line of
