z. L. Abrams, general manager Of
the Idaho Copper Gold Mining CON-
pany, came in from the mines Thursday
TO spend few days and look after bust
ness matters. He brought with him
some fine specimens OF copper ore from
the Ensign claim. The specimens are
from q new strike made In the tunnel a
few Gays since. The specimens are a
good, live quartz carrying peacock cop
per and pyrites in abundance. There is
Eve feet OF this ore in the new strike,
and Mr.. Abrams is elated over the dis
coyery, as 1t insures a good body Of ore
at greater depth aud the ledge will now
be tapped by a tunnel at depth Of 800
or 400 feet below the present workings.
Unless every indication fails there is no
reason why some big mines may not be
opened up in the Wolf Lodge district.

You greasy mechanic of low degree,
Why do you appear in presence of ME,
In such plebian garb of blue cotton stun
You'll get from the Court such scathing
rebuff.
How dare you come in such horrible plight
Overalls overalls Out of my sight
A high dignitary, banker and judge
Can't bear the presence of the toiling drudge;
A social distinction there must always be,
How ever well clad the toiler may be.
Oh how dare you come in such horrible
plight
overalls Overalls Out of my sight
New honors loom up, and you'll know some
day,
I'm built Of kaolin or some finer clay
Than the common herd, who labor all day;
And when they do come I'm still apt to say:
How dare you come in such horrible plight
Overalls Overalls Out of my sight
On the street when I'm 1T, you may see
How I'll strut to the state house, where I'll be
With senator's, bankers, shsepmen and all
In dress suit, Prince Albert, but no overall.
How dare you come in such horrible plight
Overalls overals Out Of my sight
