Peerless-Jackson.

The shaft at the Peerless mine is now
down about 200 feet, showing three
feet of rock. The hanging wall has
not yet been encountered, the ledge
dipping to the east at such an angle
that the full extent of the vein has not
been ascertained. The rock closely re-
sembles that of other noted producers
in the county, and indeed so closely
that it is difficult for the best judges to
distinguish any difference. Superin-
tendent Osborne says that the vein is
of such strong character that there
is not the slightest doubt but that the
Company will have a good paying ore
body. All things considered, the
Peerless is the best prospect in the

A Poets Lecture.

Love Hall was fairly well filed, last
Tuesday evening, the occasion being
the last lecture of the course under the
management of the Thomas Lyceum
Bureau of San Francisco.
Joaquin Miller, the famous Bard OF
the Sierras, delivered his lecture en-
titled, lessons Not In Books" which
was supplemented by an interesting
talk in costume of Klondike and his
trip there and back for w. R. Hearst,
owner Of the Examiner.
The lecture was entertaining
throughout, many listeners pronounc,
ing it the best of the course.
The '4esson not in books" is some
thing worth knowing as it leads to hap
piness, the priceless jewel of mortal ex-
istance. Those not present missed an
intellectual treat. The Poet is still full
of the fire Of genius, and it glows and
glOws and glows.

Two great railway corporations recer. =
made an announcement that is decI1ej Y
interesting. One company in America and
another in Argentina have stated that hey
have decided to adopt a new policy respect

worn themselves out in the transportation
service. They will establish a fund from
which a faithful servant who has been

At hrst sight this apparently purely
benehcent Innovation might appear to be a
contradiction OF the modern adage that
corporations have no souls, but a careful
examination Of the proposition will prove
that Il Is directly in the line OF economies
and not entirely sentimental or charitable
IN its origin.
