COMING TO THE FIR ONT.

Torods Creek Mines Again Attracting
Attention.
Republic, Wash, July 9.-Toroda
creek mines are again attracting atten-
tion. Seven companies are working
and some of them expect to cut their
lodges within a few days. Some OF
the ledges have shown large values on
the surface, and it was this that turned
the attention of mining men in that
direction. Among the mines that had
fine surface showings and carried ex-
ceptionally high values WAS the Ok
ford. Az high as $50 ounces of silver
and $15 in gold per ton were obtained
from the ore near the surface. The
owners decided to run tunnel and
now have it in IS feet. A few days
since stringer IL inches in width was
cut in the tunnel, which is believed to
be an off-shoot from the lodges. The
ore carries about 200 ounces of silver
per ton and from $40 to $12 in gold.
The tunnel will have to be extended
about 40 feet to cut the ledge. There
is also parallel ledge that can be cut
hv the tunnel by extending it another
100 feet. The ledges vary from to 9
feet in width.

He put Out the Fire ON Her Hat.

A curious accident took place In the
Casino at Monte Carlo. A friend of
mine was standing in the Atrium few
nights since, when she heard a scuffie
and turning round was surprised to see
a gentleman quietly but forcibly press
ing his square topped felt hat down
over the head of lady standing be-
side him. Struck by the extraordinary
action my friend approached nearer,
and then she saw smoke issuing from
under the hat. 1t appears that the lady
in question had been standing near the
naked gas lights, which hang unpro-
tected for the convenience of smokers,
and her tulle toQue caught fire. If 1t
had not been for the prompt, though
unconventional action Of the gentle
man who extemporized an extinguish-
er, she might have suffered consider
