other-"unless you wish to experiment
with usually placid temper you will
go back to your seat and make money
minding your business"
The young man sat down, aided
slightly, it may be, by the gentle pres
sure from the hand of Smith. Then the
conductor asked Smith if he wouldn't
rather pay his own fare than make a
lot of trouble.
"Ofcourse would" answered Smith.
''if could, but my last cent is now
helping to keep that lady warm"
Here the conductor turned to get the
young woman's fare and she, in her
nervousness, dropped it on the floor.
Then she stopped over to recover it.
AS she stopped she gave little excla-
nation of alarm and put her hand to
her neck. The next instant a quarter
rolled out from the front of the collar
and fell to the floor. Smith pointed to
it and smiled sweetly.
do you commonly carry loose
change in the back of your neck, mad
amp" he asked.
1T isn't mine, she gasped. II don't
know how it got there"
mo; it's mine" said Smith, annexing
it, land you'd have found out long ago
that it got there by slipping out of my
hand as was tossing it in the air if
you hadn't been so afraid that 1 was
trying to take advantage of your un-
chaperoned youth and beauty"
The young woman turned very red.
Smith handed the quarter to the con-
ductor.
Take two out of that" he said
'Let me out at the next corner" said
the young woman, with vast dignity,
and she went, leaving the coin she had
dropped under the fioor-grating. The
youth who had interfered went out too.
Smith got his change and said to the
conductor, pointing to the deserted
coin under the grating:
that's your rake-off."
Then he went out on the platform
and contemplated with glee the tall
young woman standing on the corner
and repulsing the advances of the
would-be squire of distressed damsels.

Nugget: The Minnehaha mine has
fifteen men at work and four-stamp
mill running night and day, the rock
paying over $40 a ton. This mine was
only started up last fall. 1t is the de-
sire of the lessees to build twenty five
stamp mill to crush the large body ol
paying ore which it produces. The
success of this mine is due to the enter
prise of that veteran miner Col. Frank
Staples who has stuck to this property
although told time and again it was
no good.
We are informed through a reliable
source that the Starlight mine has
struck rich chute of ore. 1t is being
taken out and will be crushed in their
ten-stamp mill as soon as the bitches can
be repaired from winterbreaks and wood
secured to run the mill. When this is
done force of about thirty-6ve or
forty men will be put on. The board
iug-house is kept by Miss Phoebe Pal
latt who understands thoroughly the
art of catering TO the appetites of the
hungry men. In our next we will
speak of the other mines we visited.
E. Bind, superintendent of the Blue
Gouge, ameup from San Francisco last

stamp mill in addition to the Hunting
ton now in operation.
Republican: Virgil Wise and Gus
w. Wulff think that they have bo-
nanza. 1t is placer proposition.
Their mine is on Mr.. Wise's place
north of the Coloma road in White
Oak Flat. They have taken out some
nuggets.
The Union Mining Company are
building ten-stamp mill TO work rock
from a ledge owned by them in the
vicinity of the Union mine, but too far
from the mill already on that property
to be crushed to advantage in it.

day exceptinff a few who have been re-
tanned to keep the mine from being
flooded by water, and as night watch
men. The reason for this suspension
of work is not known. Nearly year
ago General Manager Buckminster
visited the property and arranged for
extensive development work. In order
to complete this work it was necessary
to purchase a larger hoist and power
drills were recommended. lnstruc-
tions were given for the purchase of
hoist, air-comprsssOr with necessary
machinery, and an addition of twenty
stamps to the mill. BY reason of de-
lay in receiving electrical machinery,
several months beyond the time speci
fed in the contracts, the plant has not
yet been completed. In the meantime
work has been continued with the old
machinery until the main or No.
shaft has reached a depth of 800 feet
and levels run, opening out the ore
shoot, to depth of 600 feet. No.
and No. levels have yet to be opened.
Superintendent E. A. Hardy left this
week for Boston to consult with the
general future work.
The Mack Consolidated Gold Mining
Company are getting excellent results
from their mines at Big Oak Flat.
The property consists of the Mack and
Wooten mines, on the same vein as the
now celebrated Longfellow. The
vein rims east and west and dips north
and is quite fat, lying at an angle of
about thirty-fve degrees. On the
Mack property it is developed by an in
cline shaft 43O feet deep. The vein has
been well opened by having levels run
every 100 feet and shows up large ex
tent of ore that will pay to mill.
Scattered through the milling ore are
rich punches of high grade often
showing "more gold than rock. 1t
is an open secret that an important
development has been made of good
grade milling rock at the 400 level.
The company have a 75-hOrse power
boiler and latest improved hoist on the
way to the mine and it is their inten-
tion to remodel the present incline
shaft and sink to a depth of 12O0 feet
or more, when large mill will be
erected near the mine, DIS it has been
demonstrated by tests that the entire
vein will pay to mill. The mine is
under the able superintendency of
Charles l.. Lang and it is the general
opinion that it has a bright future.
At the Harvard mine underground
development work is progressing rap
idly on both No. 5 and No. levels
through No. 2 shaft. The work of
sinking No. l shaft below No. level
has been commenced and also raising
from No. level to connect with the
same, as it is the intention to hoist
large portion of the milling ore
through this shaft direct to the mill
plant. The 6O-stamp mill is nearing
completion and Superintendent Munger
hopes to begin dropping stamps by
April lst.
At the Dreisam mine the new electric
plant which furnishes lights for the
surface works was started up last
week and gives satisfaction. In the
mine the west crosscut' on No. level
has reached the Ophir vein. The fis-
sure is six feet wide and contains two
feet of high grade quartz. AT this
point drifting north and south on the
vein has begun. The Dreisam mill is
running steadily on ore from slopes on
the Yellow Jacket vein.

resembles the north crosscut at a point
close to the vein channel, and probably
within few days the vein channel will
be encountered. This crosscut and the
1900 have recently been surveyed pre-
paratory to securing blue prints for the
inspection of those interested. The
crosscut west from the 1900 foot level
has been extended forty feet, making
the total distance from the shaft ninety
four feet. The material in the face OF
the crosscut is soft, gray slate with
an easterly pitch, about the average
pitch of the Mother Lode through this
section. AS long as the ground con-
tinues as it is now good headway will
be made in this crosscut.
