AT THE BLACK DIAMOND.
An Air Compressor Being Construct
ed for the Development of That
Property.

The Black Diamond Mining company
is putting up an air-compressor and the
necessary machinery to operate drills by
means of compressed air. The mines of
this company are situated on creek
and consist of five or six very promising
claims. The machinery consists of II
40 h. p. boiler, compressor and receiver,
with capacity to run A drills. The
compressor will stand neal the entrance
to the long cross-cut tunnel, on the
site of the old blacksmith shop.
Teams have been busy all week haul
ing machinery from the cars to the
mine, and the work of transfer is not
yet done. Chas. Roehl au experienced
mill wright is directing the work. Mean
while the excavation for receiving the
boiler and compressor has been going
on and no time lost which might hasten
the work of construction. They will
have it running by the first Of June, I'M
less unforeseen complications presents
themselves.
The Black Diamond Mining company
is stocked, and belongs mainly to Geo.
and Emily Roehl and their children, and
F. ID. Noercnberg of Minneapolis. Much
work has been done here to find the ore
body known to be in the hill. A shaft
has been sunk upon the vein a distance
of over 100 feet. Then down the hill
was started n hard rock tunnel to strike
This evolved the plans of a tunnel ovel
| 800 feet in length through rock harder
| than the hubs of hades. The tunnel has
been driven 400 feet by hand, and the
purpose of the machines is to finish it
and maybe extend it a distance of 1,S0(
feet through the %company's ground tC
the side line of the ~Cornucopia. An al
equate force of men is working upoI
the construction, and the breast of thu
tunnel will o o begin to break ava.
faster than ever before. That there i
an ore body ahead of the work is posi-
lively known, but its distance, within
possible hundred feet is uncertain. |
may de anywhere between 800 and 40'
feet away.
The spirit of enterprise which actuate
this venture is cOmmendable. 1t mean
probably the permanent operation of
new mine.

returning on every boat. A few days

200 on another. In consequence of this

nuggets, the size of which make water

well accomplished in the art of enter
tanning. Mrs. Conklin played upon the
Roman harp, rendering her selections in
a manner which proved her proficiency
upon that rare instrument. Her harp,
made to order from natural birds eve

brought into the state. Her audience
was highly delighted with the perform
ance.
A delicious lunch was sirvcd upon
tables decorated with cut flowers, and
everybody joined in the pleasures of the
festival. Little Miss Virginia Miebach
assisted very gracefully in serving the

An Autumn Chant.

There's something in a fiddle's sound that
somehow shakes and thrills
My soul with sweeter music than the songs o.
~whippoorwills
Or the wild notes o. the mockin bird when
summers in her prime.
But best of all I love it when it's singin au-
tumn time,
When the cabin fires are blazin an the holly
berries red
Just make us think o. Christmas an the mistle-
toe o'erhead,
Which, a feller's eyes are chasin o the dimples
o. the girls
An he's lost his way forever in the tangle o.
their curls!

Grown to most ~stupcndous size.
All the argent glow was cleaning

And it seemed Il night for droalning
When Priscilla took the lines.

Past the lazy, sleeping farms,
With the shadows dropping DER us,
Who'd not feel the use of arms?

Cupid called his court i'll session
When Priscilla took the lines.
With a carriage close combining,
With a t~rotting pair of roans,
With nc mamma there, designing,
With no spying c~haperones,
With n maid who sat demurely,
Can't you reckon by the signs
That l held her in securely
When Priscilla took the lines?
