for sinking a 200-foot shaft. Twenty
five feet of work has already been

which will be installed within ten days,
when the work will be pushed with
three shifts. When the 200 level has
been reached a. drift will be run to the

more than fifty feet distant. The Lulah,
which adjoinS the Joe Bowers, is most
favorably located, and it is expected
that good values will be obtained when

CHAPTER ".

The divorce was granted at O. clock in
the afternoon of May 49, 1898. just five
years to the hour from the wedding. One
day last summer Captain De Lamar was
driving along the Bots in his open car
riage. His little daughter was with him.
He had not seen his divorced wife since
that sad day at Nice when he carried off
the baby. But he was thinking OF her,
when suddenly she went flashing by him
in her phaeton. He could not hide the
admiration which betrayed itself in the
one glance he gave her; he could not
suppress the sigh which followed when he
remembered that he had loved and lost
the most beautiful woman in the world.
She looked him squarely in the eyes as
she went by There was no challenge, no
hatred; no servility in her glance; but
there was love and candor and innocence,
and he noticed that Neliie,s face grew
pale and her hand stretched forth invol-
UNFAIRLY as her eyes rested for moment
upon little Nellie.
The next day at the same hour Captain
De Lamar and his daughter went riding
again. Again the phaeton came alongside
and this time the child saw her mother
There's mammal she cried, and on
the mether's pale cheek a tear fell. but
smote hardest upon the sad heart of the
captain. Every day the mother went
home weeping, to sit alone and pray that
her husband heart might be softened
and that some day she might have them
back. believing in her again and loving
as she had never ceased to love either of
them. One day when she had wept and
upon her door, and when she said Come
ink her own little girl came tripping
across the room with a bunch of violets
in her dimpled hand.
These are from papa, laughed the de-
lighted innocent. HE babe me give you
these flowers" And hope sprang;up anew
in the tired heart of the mother. After
that the child came every day. always
with flowers from papa, to linger in her
mothers lap until the nurse came and
took her away. One winter day Captain
De Lamar came with his daughter. He
came into the room and sat down silently,
while Nellie fondled her little one. The
wife he had cast off was pale and thin:
dark encircled the midnight of her dark
eys. Her rings fit loosely on her slender,
trembling fingers. But, thought the cap
tain, she is the most beautiful woman.
When he had come twice. she told him
her story-a story so plain, so guileless
and so true that all his unreasoning jeal-
ousy skunk away ashamed Then he gave
her back her baby and went away happy
for the first time since he had been last
to Nice, for he had fallen in love with his
wife again. ~
They will be married this spring. Al
ready the captain feels younger than ever.
He is in London nNw scattering money
around for the second time a bridegroom.
She is more glorious than when he saw
her rising like Aurora from the sea: the
color has come back to her cheeks, the
pride of the wife and mother shines with

WEALTH OF WILLOW CREEK.
Section Of Idaho That Is Rich In
Its Mineral Deposits.
WORD. Idaho City, Ida.)

CYYorid. Idaho City, Ida.)
James Constable and Henry Johnson
own a quartz claim on Willow creek
that is immense on the surface.
The location covers two veins, 100
feet apart. One is four inches, and the
average value Of the ore, crushed in a
hand mortar, is $500 a ton. The other
vein is five inches wide, and the ore
crushed in a hand mortar, without as
sorting, yielded at the rate of over
s., 600 a. ton. The past four years Mr..
Constable has been crushing rich float
quartz obtained in the working of his
placer ground below the lodges. The
placer ground is very rich. Last year,
without any help, he took out $500 in
thirty-two hours, and water gave out
before the bedrock was well cleaned.
At least 500 more would have been
obtained if the water had held out a
few hours longer. All the gold in the
placer ground came from the lodges
discovered last fall, as above them the
ground does not prospect
The extent Of the pay chutes or the
quartz veins has not been determined.
This year the placer ground will all be
worked out and the lodges uncovered
FOR quite a distance in piping off the
pay gravel. Development work on the
quartz veins was postponed until the
placer work was completed, for the
reason that any work done would in
terfere with, and be more or less dam
aged by, placer mining. These claims
are west OF Main Willow creek, and
about four miles west OF Idaho City.
Many rich veins have been uncovered
on Willow creek, but nothing has been
found equaling this recent discovery.
The country is fiat, and depth can be
gained only by sinking. This fact,
with the additional disadvantage Of
water, which is struck a very short
distance below the surface, precludes
the prospector from carrying on devel-
opment work. The deepest shaft on
Willow creek is not over 100 feet deep,
sunk in early days, and this did not
follow the ledge for more than twenty
feet. The weir dipped away from the
shaft, and the shaft was continued
down perpendicularly. No cross-cut-
ting was done from the bottom of the
shaft to cut the vein Other shafts
there have been sunk to the depth of
about twenty fert. Willow creek has
produced somewhere between 100000
and 600 in placer gold, the quartz
veins being the source Of all this
wealth. This is a very promising dis
trict for capital. The veins carrying
rich ore are small, but there are a few
good-sized lodges carrying low-grade
ore. But the small veins are large
enough, when the grade Of ore is taken
into consideration. What their value
will be deeper down, no one knows.
WILLOW creek is a very promising field
Tor capitalists seeking prospects. The
chances are favorable for obtaining
good prospects for a small amount of
money, and making valuable mines of
them with proper development.

Regarding the Ramshorn.

N-tIO-I5NIISCI, NIItIIIIs, Iuet.J
A grapevine rumor has it that Mr..
Salisbury will soon put eighty men at
work on the Ranshorn mine, near Bay
horse, but we do not put much conf
dence in the report, but hope it might
prove to be a fact. The Ramshorn is
probably one of the richest, largest and
best Developed silver-lead mines in the
west today. 1t has been worked only on
a very small scale for the past few
years, more to devesop it than anything
else. and such enormous quantities of
high-grada ore have been blocked out
that amazes the mining world Every
available place has been filled with ore
in development. This great property
has been virtually idle for this length of
time because it's owners did not care
to sell the products of the mine at such
low prices

CHAPTER II.

So they were married at the Church of
Heavenly Rest, in New York City. AT 8
o'clock in the afternoon of May H. 1893,
Nellie Sands became the wife of Captain
De Lamar. Her father gave to Captain
De Lamar the 1oveliesL woman in the
world, and the groom gave her 900 in
cash, a diamond necklace that cost $4,000,
and his name. They spent the honeymoon
in Colorado. where the air was as pure as
her hair. The captain strewed money like
the golden leaves of autumn in her path
way. Each coming was a new triumph
for her and each going a pang for the
worshipers left behind. She was so beau
tiful that every one who saw her loved

breeze that smote softly upon her damask

the gay world She loved. her husband,
but yearned for liberty for admiration
from afar, for travel and excitement. So
they went to Washington. and then to
england, and France, and Venice and
Rome. Everywhere she was the tran
scendant star Paris raved over her, and
the Splendor of her entertainments was
overshadowed by the peerless beauty of
the red-haired daughter of the New York
druggist. The captain built for her q
little palace in Aix-Ies-Bains, and it was
q shrine where the noblemen of Europe
went a-worshiping: In summer Captain
De Lamar and his girl wife wandered

so loving, SO constant and so wise that
he was no lsnger jealous. Each day she
seemed more beautiful he was proud of
the homage which the world paid to her;
but most of all he loved her for the little
daughter she had borne him.
If Mrs. De Lamar's head was not turned
it was not for lack of aduatfon. The
artists raved over her; in the studios she
