The Mocking-bird mine, at the foot OF
the hill below the b. and G., and which is
now being developed on the 70-foot level.
has disclosed a vein of from four to fiji
teen feet in width between walls. On
both the hanging and foot walls of the
vein there are good streaks of shipping
ore, and if it was possible to hand-sort
the entire vein a large proportion Of it
would pay to ship. AS it is, only the rich
pay-streaks in the vein matter can be
sorted out and shipped. consequently two
men are kept busy producing about a car
of ore per month. This property also re-
quires concentration when it could be
made to pay largely.
Big Dan" McClelland has started in
with a force of miners to develop a Minis
close to the Baby Helen in Lump gulch,
on the Liverpool systeIl, southwest. This
is the same mine on which operations
We're commenced last spring and then
closed down again for want of funds.
Butte parties were back of it then, and it
is understood that the same parties are
back Of it now. When work was last in
progress the shaft was sur to the de-
sired level, and it is understood that the
work now to be lone will consist mainly
in prosecuting, which will probably de-
termine the extent of future operations.
The King Solomon mine, on Clancy
creek, is said to be looking as well to-
day as ever before in it's history. Under
the management of the Latsch Bros. last
year more ore was shipped from this
property than was sent out under the adj
ministration of it's several managers who,
at different times, a succeeded one
another in working the property. For thd
past six weeks or so Mr.. Geo. A. Bailey,

and then the habit of drilled dis
cipline was manifested. At the word
of command steady regular volleys
answered the Amigos who seemed
to have concentrated their entire
strength on our center in an endeavor
to break the line.
Never before had such numbers
confronted us-never before had such
q scathing and fatal fire racked our
lines, and, though men fell on
every side never before or since did
the "Amigosn hear such hoarse,
maddening battle-cheer as echoed
along our front when the word came
to charge. In vain did the captain
endeavor to preserve some restraint.
The men were half wild and blood
maddening, for were not full third
of the company gone ?
At the second line of trenches the
reserves stopped us momentairly and
as we fixed bayonets and started up
the last ridge in the face of that solid
sheet of flame our chances seemed

How | Captured Aguinaldo.

The following story written by
Roy Douglas, of Colony, for the 4th of
July issue of the Manila Freedom,
will be of interest to the readers of
authorship and the merits of the tale.
Douglas enlisted here and is a men,
ber of Company | and his story is un-
doubtedly good expression of the
ambition of every mothers son of the
Twentieth Kansas. Here is the
story:
1t was black sultry night in the
trenches before San Fernando.
1t was nearly midnight and the
majority of men not on outpost were
sleeping beside their arms. Smith
and had made down our beds to-
gether and were lying there con-
versing in low undertones of past
events and future possibilities, each
mentally anathemizing the "powers
that be" for present discomfitures
and wondering if the time ever would
come when we would be given a
chance to distinguish ourselves, either
rsgimentally or individually.
After consuming countless pipes OF
fragrant tobacco while silently medi-
tating on these momentous questions,
l again felt around on the blankets
for our sack of mutual philosophy,
and found that Smith had succumbed
to my superior line of argument and
woeing of Morpheus, and was peace
fully slumbering.
How long lay there IN the quiet
night, drawing deep inspirations OF
cloudy comfort from my pipe and
playing mental billiards with the
stars of the "Big Dipper" l do moi
know, but suddenly the darkness in
our front was illuminated with q
binding crash and the ball opened
with more vigor than 1t had ever
shown before. Irregular lines of fire
lit up our entire center and left al
vOlley followed volley from the In
surgent trenches, the space inter
veling betwe their lines and oul
own varying from three to six hun
dred yards, for the most part fairly

style and ready for free transporta-
ton to Manila.
Dragging my prize unceremoniously
from his enforced retreat, proceeded
to shoulder him and struck out
through the darkness for the Station
half mile distant, where knew the
down train took water.
On nearing the depot was surpris.
ed and startled to hear some one IN
my immediate proximity swearing
quietly but emphatically in excellent
English, and upon depositing my bur
den on rice ridge in sitting pos
ture discovered that he had lost his
gag and found his speech about the
same time.
Regaining his breath, composure
and dignity, he proceeded to assure
me that he was gentleman and an
officer and therefore entitled to a
greater degree of respect than l had
manifested toward him during the
brief period OF our acquaintance, con-
cluding his remarks with an offer of a
certain sum of coin of the realm in
the event of his immediate release
from custody, refusing however to be-
tray either his name or rank. When
he had finished it dawned upon me
that it might be prudent to search
his person more closely than | had
already done in Il superficial manner
when looking for concealed arms, and
five minutes later thanked my stars
that l was alone, for that "Amigo"
was literally encased in bullet proof
vestment of bank bills, and, oh ye
Gods the belt ABOUT his waist was
lined with double rolls of old Spanish
gold.
He struggled and swore line or
two, while made a satisfactory trans
fer of funds, and once more resuming
my burden, started on elated and
sanguine as to future prospects
Five minutes later as turned the
corner of the depot and seated my
prisoner on the bench outside, the
train pulled in, and as the headlight
flashed in his face recognized, my

WESTERN CANADA is ALL
RIGHT.

Delegates representing a number of
neighboring farmers in Clay county,
Mimi, who visited the Edmonton dis
trict OF western Canada last summer
are evidently very well satisfied with
the result of their trip. They think so
well Of the country that in addition TO
the privilege of obtaining free home
stead of 100 acres of land, they have
also purchased land. In recent inter
view on the subject. Messrs. G. Il. and
A. Hughes, OF GAINESVILLE, Clay county,
say:
1--WE are we'll pleased with western
Canada IL is far ahead of what we
expected. AS for the crops. we have
never seen anything that can compete
with them. We have lived in Mime
sofa and have farmed some of what
they count the best lands in the Red
River valley for ten years, and have
done very well in that part OF the
country, and have farms there at pres
ent free of all encumbrance, but be-
lieve that this country (western Cam
aGa) is so much better that we have
bought from the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way company one section OF land
northeast of Edmonton, in the Beaver
It'll district We have travelled through
that part OF the country, and have seen
the grain in the granaries and the
amount of land that ii was taken off,
and find that they have grown as much
as so bushels and over TO the acre, and
tLey say that this has not been a good
year, and very little If any grain has
been touched by the frost. Hay seems
to be plentiful, and il you wish TO put
up log buildings you can get the logs
within few miles. Coal can be had at
the mines for IS cents per ton, or you
can dig IL yourself. Nearly all kinds
Of garden truck can be grown in album
dance. We find everything that can be
grown in good demand The farmers
tell MS that they can get four and n
half live weight per hundred for hogs,
and for three-year-old steers from $5e
to 500 per head, providing they are
good. We will move into that part OF
the country next summer. All the peo~
pie in that part of the country seem sat-
isfied, and we do not see any reason
why they should not be So"
Messrs. Hughes also stated that they
would be very glad TO afford anyone de-
string particulars about the country
