Two and one-fourth tons of ore taken
out of the westerly workings of the
Topeka lode sampled at the State Ore
works, in Black Hawk, contained 73
ounces gold per ton, for which a check
was given for $3.50. The syndicate
operating the property are working a
light force Of men, fourteen in all. They
are engaged in development work.
At the Leavenworth mine, north Of
the Topeka, the Ayres-L -Leavenworth
company are taking out smelling iron
from the lower west level, 675 feet below
the surface. They are still bothered
greatly from water, but SO far have man.
aged to handle it by means of water
bucket of capacity OF 200 gallons. The
bottom of the main shaft-715 feet-has
not yet been reached, the bulk of the
water being caught in level which has
been damned. The water contains a
large amount Of copper, hence it is unfit
for steam purposes as it soon eats up the
boiler fues. A shipment Of smelling ore
was made to the sampling works in
Black Hawk this week.
West and north of the Ayres- -Leaven-
worth Manhire & Co., who have lease
from John II. Kemp Of the West Cal
houn, are taking out very good grade
of ore. They have steam hoisting
plant in use.
Steam was raised again last week on
the Eaet Calhoun, operated by Charles
Bleibel, OF Denver, which has been tenn
porarily closed down. This property
will soon resume its former shipment of
ore to the stamp mill and concentration
works.
The Pennsylvania Central Gold Min
ing company at their property west of
the Topeka, near Lemen gulch, ]. j.
Reilley, the manager, is driving levels
both east and west at a depth Of TAO
feet. The crevice matter is improving
as the levels are extended.
Concentrating ore Of very good grade
is being taken out Of the Wautauga
mine, which is shipped by wagons to the
John G. Roberts mill at Idaho Springs.

He Laid Them Out.

a story in which several wellknown
citizens figured has just come out. and
as it is little too good to keep it here
goes:
One day late last fall a Homecoming
lady appeared in the railroad office at
the lower end of the covered way,
soliciting autographs. Her scheme
was to fill book with scripture texts
selected by her friends and then un-
load them on her husband for Christ
mas gift.
She hit NJ. B. Tyler first, and with
out moments hesitation he wrote, in
a free, bold, readable hand, as man
used to such things:
The Lord is my shepherd | shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures ;
He leadeth me beside the still waters, etc.
AS he finished he noticed the flush
of pride that stole over the lady's face,
but he did not tell her that once he
was guide in an Odd Fellows lodge,
and, therefore, happened to know just
the thing to write.
AS Louis Daingerfield took the pen
Joe Hitchlns quietly stole away into
the reading-room. Mr.. Daingerfeld
wrote:
Wine is a mockeri strong drink is raging,
and whOsoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Mr. Daingerteld had heard this in a
temperance speech at the time that
Titus A. Brick allowed "a blue ribbon
to be pinned on his coat, but permitted
the lady to imagine he was scriptur
al encyclopedia, and as she pressed
the blotter on the fresh ink she said
"Ooth quotations are very nice, and
SO suitable, too
BY this time Joe had returned
and was given the book, but the little
verse he had peeped at when he snook
into the reading-room had fled from
memory-a fact he finally confessed
and, taking from his vest-pocket a
scrap of paper, copied the following
into the book:
As the hart panteth after the water-brooks,
so panteth my SOUL etc.
The lady said that also was livery
NICE and Joe meekly thanked her,
adding that ''Mr. Tucker says there
are better ones in the Bible than that
but that one struck me as about my
sentiments on this OCCASION casting
a look of sympathy meanwhile at Dan
Skalley, who, like Tyler, was loating
there for a few minutes. Dan was
squirming in his chair, but seeing he
could not get ont of it without betray-
ing a want of gallantry. seized the pen
and flourished it around after the fash
ion of man intent on collecting his
thoughts and doing all of the right
thing at the right time. Finally a
look of confidence spread over his
features and the pen traced these
words:
Come unto me all We who are loaded, and
will give you a rest,
Then he read it aloud, casting Il look
of triumph around on the crowd that
had assembled AS well as upon his
competitors. All were visibly sur,
prised, not to say astonished at Dams
feat 1t had been the general opin,
ion that Dan could not quote accurate
ly a single verse in the Bible.

A Farewell Party.

The departure of Luther Eynon,
nephew and guest of f. H. B. Pritch
ard. county commissioner, for his
home. in Wales, afforded occasion for
a farewell party Thursday evening of
last week at Mr.. Pritchard' S residence,
on Bowery. Those present we're

The Frostburg Glee Club, led by
Prof. Walter Cook, added no little to
the evenings pleasure, and at late
hour the party was ushered into the
dining room where refreshments were
Hospitality dispensed.
Mr.. Eynon improved the occasion
by expressing repeatedly the surprises
for Englishmen that are stored away
in American social life. He spoke of
the recent anniversary occasion, held
by the Knights of Pythias. where high
school officials and judge mingled on
even terms with the people as scene
never witnessed in the old land. His
remarks finally took shape in formal
address, preserved for the JOURNAL as
follows, and to which a fitting response
was made by Rev. H. 5. Ecker:
Lddics ami Gentiemen-It gives me great
pleasure this evening to thank you one and
all for the kindness which yon have shown
me as "A Welshman during my short stay
here. Also for the pleasure of carrying home
to my parents evidences of the appreciation
ana esteem in which my nncle, Mr.. E. H. b.
Pritchard is held here among you and in the
county at large. 1t will be my hearts de-
light to relate to the people with whom | am
acquainted at Mountain Ash South Wales,
the kind way in which Welshmen are treat
ed in America.
As regards healthiness, allow me to re-
mark that my visit to Frostburg has been the
means of restoring me to my usual health,
for lay sick for about three months prior to
sailing for America.
The number of invitations to visit diff
terent people here would take me about six
months to cover and | hope they will all ex-
Cuse me.
| have not much to express to you tonight.
| am built somewhat like a chairman we
had in the old country. The time appointed
for him to take the chair was 7:3O p. M, and
on his arrival at the meeting he got up and
stated to the audience that he was mot a very
good speaker but a devil ola thinker" 1t is
the same with me about you. can never
forget the kindnesses received from your
hands.
Just word or so before parting. | will al
ways remember the enjoyment | received
with you April Is 1880, being the Silver An
niversary of your very valued Order, the
knights of Pythlas.' Wishing you all
good luck and that peace remain among you
goodbye.
Mr.. Eynon left on Tuesday evenings
special for his home, and sailed from
New York Thursday.
