BILL AN ME.

forty years ago,
jest ter see if time he'd changed 'em in its pass
in on ther way,
Ez ct changed me an my fortune every year
an every day.
Near tler skule house on the common whar l
learned to read an write
seed er teller standin' like things wuzent
goin' right,
An ez l ken up closter he turned an 1 cd see
Twas my dear OF chum an playmate-no one
else 'cept Bill Magee.
BILL l seq, don't yer know me?' An he
stud an shuk his he'd,
NO. He tinily answered, an tibet was all he
sed.
Fer a long, long time he c'dn't seem ter get me
fggered out,
Then it KEN all of a suddint, an he started
18th a shout
BE yer that OF companin tibet l ulster know?
An say!
Did yer ever go to skule right here? An air
yer Bob Mckay"
l admitted then tibet waz Bob, his pard of
'fifty-three,
An fer a mint 1 gazed ct Bill, an Bill gazed
back ct me.
Then we gobbled up each other in er long an
strong embrace,
An Their tears they KEN a streamin' from my
eyes an down my face
Till 1 c'dn't see ther landscape that I ulster
know so well,
When 1 felt Oh Bills emoshun az his bosom'd
heave an swell.
We stud an KEEP a blubberin' like a kuple ov
OF maids,
While ther tear drops on ther grass shone like
dimunds on their blades,
An when we'd done a blubberin' we set be-
meath Their tree
Tibet years ago when we wuz kids he'd shell
tered Bill an me.
Strange ther tales we both impaired ez we set
there on Their ground;
We rested all ther Happenings in ther Ian fer
miles Ground.
Bin'd tell me ov hiz trables an ov corse l toll
him mine,
An then we both agreed twas best we'd
struck this life's decline.
Thar was beauty in Their landscape tibet ma
ture'd painted bright,
An Their balmy breeze ov summer seemed ter
harmonize jist right.
Fer a good long time we set there till it seemed
tibet I cd see
Agen ther things tibet happened ter my OF
chum Bill an me.
We went Ground ther village fer ter see Their
sights ov old.
But I c'dn't find ther places until arter l wuz
told;
Laws! ther things in that OF village wuz
changed in every way,
An wuz altogether diffrunt from Their things
there in my day.
Still ther visit sorter filled 18th er thrill ov
pure delight,
An ther picture kums and fingers kind O.
pleasantly ternight.
1t will live until Their Reaper comes an sets
this old soul free,
An in ther bright hearafter thets laid up fer

Great Strike Reported In Workings
of Dalton & Lark.
IT'S EFFECT ON OPTION
BELIEVED RESULT WILL BE
CLOSE OF THE SALE.
President Mcintyre Gives the Mann
moth Side of the Grand Central
Mammoth Controversy-Says the
Company Is Entitled to Mine Ore
In Grand Central Ground.

If the Dalton & Lark deal does not
go through at the end of this month,
as scheduled, it will not be because the
showing in the mine is insufficient to
warrant it. Manager Farnsworth and
c. o. Whittemore were Ut the property
on Friday, examining the big ore body
encountered in the bottom of the in
cline shaft at depth of 925 feet the
day previous.
Mr. Farnsworth said yesterday the
whole bottom of the incline was in rich
copper and lead ore, and when he left
the indications were that it would hold
out for an unknown depth. When the
shaft was started down from the S25
level the vein had to be left in order to
maintain the pitch of the incline, but
at the depth named the ledge was
broken into, with the result stated. On
the S25 level the ledge had been drifted
on for 400 feet, and at that distance
from the main incline shaft a winze
had been sunk in ore which was pre-
cisely the same as that just encoun-
tered in the shaft. That means the ore
body between those levels is continuous
in one direction for 400 feet in length
and for 100 feet deep.
That showing, in addition to what is
known of the condition of the mine at
other points. will unquestionably de-
eide those who hold the option to take
it up without further hesitancy, as the
worth Of the mine is now assured.

time, as the one farthest off will be en-
countered inside of fifty feet.
Fine values in copper are being OBJ
tanned, not only from this property, but
several others which are now being
opened, ana Mr.. Jones says the great
est activity imaginable prevails in the
district. Experts and investors have
been pouring into the camp for several
weeks past, and many pieces of prop
erty have been bonded and exploratory
work commenced upon them.
William McDermott has a shaft go
ing down on the Thompson group,
which was recently tied up by him for
crowd of Butte investors Another
Butte crowd, represented by Ed Eng
fish on the ground, is sinking a shaft
on the Brooklyn. which is now down
putting in gasoline hoist blower, cars.
trackage, ETC., which were bought jim
the Salt Lake market.
Samuel Newhouse is having an in
cline shaft put down on the Reed
group, which is following the ore. A
depth of about 100 feet has now been
attained and the ore carries high values
in copper.
Judge John c. -Coombs and J. P Niles
or Boston, accompanied by George A.
Lonsbury, the well known Colorado ex-
pert, have been in the district, Mr..
Jones says, sparring for an opening,
and before Mr.. Jones left he understood
they had practically closed deal which
put them in possession of the Galena
group, one of the very promising prop
critics of the camp.
Contact, Mr.. Jones says, is destined
to become one of the biggest copper
producing camps in the west, and dur
ing the next year some sensationaHy
rich mines will be developed.

Picnic Expects Good Ore Soon.
fSnecial Corresuondence.)


Silver City, Sept. Sit would appear
from all the prevailing conditions and
indications, so pronounced and unmis-
taxable, that the Picnic people are fast
approaching a crisis in their long and
patient search. This is strikingly so
in the outlook on the 600 level, where
the drift appears about to encounter
the Swansea vein. The ground has
suddenly softened very materially, and
little stringers of ledge matter con-
tanning more or less iron pyrites are
becoming very frequent. The southeast
drift, driving to tap the Park vein, also
looks very encouraging. OF course, as
Superintendent Ford says, the Picnic
territory includes both of the veins,
and it is but a matter of time until
they are both cut and opened, but they
are naturally anxious to determine
what fate has in store for them. AT
the bottom of the Picnic shaft at the
$50 level while it may not be generally
known, the Four Aces vein was cut
and body of low-grade mineral ex-
posed-not too lean to handle il the
ore chute was greater. This will be
pursued later on.

SALT LAKERs IN OREGON.
Fred and Frank Sharkey Have a
Promising Gold Mine,

1t will be good news to the many
friends of Fred and Frank Sharkey,
we'll known old Salt Lakers, to know
that they have a gold mining PROPOSE
ton in Oregon that promises to make
them wealthy. Persistent and we'll
directed efforts on the part of the
Sharkey brothers and their associates
have resulted in opening a bonanza
like body of ore at depth of about 300
feet. A ten stamp mill has been erected
and will be started up in few days.
The property is known as the Lucky
Boy mines, and is situated sixty miles
east of Eugene. There is now in sight
sufficient ore to keep the little mill
running three years on ore that aver
ages $17.65 per ton in gold. There is
every indication of wedge-shaped
vein, big end down, throughout the
4,500 feet of the claims, and the pro-
ceeds of the mill runs will be devoted
to developments and to enlarging the
mill from time to time.
Mr.. Fred L. Sharkey is in the city,
visiting his mother and sisters, on his
way to the mine from the east
