Old Age as Bar Sinister in Seeking
 An Honest Employment

Old William Acton Ack5rs walked Into the Adams street court. Brooklyn. and asked Justice Brist9w to send him to the penitentiary.
 I'm afraid of becoming a thief" he added. People say I'm too old to work. They want young men. I've walked this city for six months look ing for a job. There's no place for an old man. Youth, Youth. Youth. That's the cry. I've got 10 step aside"

 Six months" said the judge and William Acton Acksrs was taken to Crow Hill.
 To q reporter Acker said:
 There's no use for an old man in this world. Business men want young. high stepp=rs, fellows who dress well and look chipper. I've crossed over without making my mark, and people won't let me try any more. One day I walked up Broadway. from Battery to Fortys cond street. I went into shops. stores and offices.

 "I attribute my failure in life to the fact that did not learn trade or pro fsssion. When a youth l was carried away by the big salaries paid to book keepers and clerks. At last a younger man took my place; then came the wo- men; salaries were cut and again I was out of work. I haven't tasted liquor in fifteen years.
 Since I've been looking for a job I've seen things lying about. I began to argue that I might take them-might pawn them for food. I wondered why some people had so much and I so It. tle. My hands began to itch. The temptation was great. That's another reason why I'm here. To prevent my self from becoming a thief"

The long tunnel of the Queen Bess,
SLOGAN district, is over 1000 feet in

The City of Paris, Central camp, has
already shipped 5000 tons of ore to the
CRANKY smelter.
The Tamarack, at Ymir, is to COM

ever $4,000 tons of ore available.
Reports of recent important develop
ments in the Athabasca account for the
rapid advances made by the stock in
the last few weeks. A body of the high
est grade ore yet found is said to nave
heen opened in a four-foot vein.
The famous Mckinney mine will be
further opened. A company has de-
cided to commence extensive develop
ment and a three compartment work
ing shaft will be sunk at the east end
of the group.
The Athabasca mine has declared it's
first dividend. In London it is an
nounced that dividend of $4,000, or
$4,000, was declared by the officers Of
the corporation, being per cent. on

REPUBLIC.

A force Of five men is working on
the Rebate This property adjoins the
Tom Thumb on the southwest. 1t is
1t IS probable that the ledge will be cut
within 60 days.
The winze being sunk in No. 2 tun-
mel on the San Poll is about So feet
deep Superintendent w. NJ. drummer
states that the ledge is three and a
half feet wide and that the values are
also improving with depth.
The crosscut in the Butte & Boston at
the 260-foot level in the new shaft is in
about 45 feet. AS the exact dip of the
ledge is unknown, it is somewhat diff
cult to estimate the distance yet to be
driven to cut it, but it is quite likely
that it is still 100 feet away.
Work on the San Juan shaft is pro-
crossing favorably. The ledge has
widened out to four feet and is rapidly
improving in appearance. No assays
have been made, and of course the
crossing favorably. The ledge has
been mixed with porphyry, but this is
giving way to quartz.
The Flag Hill Is working five men
running crosscut. 1t Is not certain
just when the ledge will be cut, as it's
dip is unknown. There is considerable
interest manifested in the result of the
development going on as the Flag Hill
has produced some remarkably rich
rock. The ore body was small, how
ever, and also somewhat broken. 1t
is the opinion of mining experts and
others that the property will develop
into first-class mine
The south drift on the Chico was put
in 100 feet and work was suspended,
pending the arrival of valves for the
compressor, which will probably reach
here Sunday. 1t will take only short
time to start up the compressor, and
then rapid work will be done. The
ledge has not yet been crosscut to the
hanglng-wali, and therefore the value
of the ore is not known. The work
is icing carried on at vertical depth
of 285 feet or about 1926 feet on the
dip of the ledge.
The Tom Thumb is stopping in the
old workings and hosting with the
whim. One carload of 90 tons will be
shipped to the Grand Forks smelter as
soon aas it is taken out. This will be
simply test shipment. If the results
are satisfactory and it is found that the
cost of treatment is reasonable. it is
likely that other shipments will be
made as long as the roads are good.
Work on the raise is progressing quite
rapidly. This work is being carried on
about 40 feet west of the west ledge.

time 1850 tons of ore were crushed,
producing 2,340 ounces of bullion and
29S tons of concentrates. The ship
ments consisted of 27S tons of concen-
trates, besides which % tons of con-
centrates and the same amount of
crude ore are loaded for shipment. The
total receipts for the month were $685.
coo and the expenses $11,600. Besides
these receipts, however, the outstand-
ing carloads of concentrates and crude
ore bring the total output for the month
up to $57,150. The profit for the month
is thus $25, 1850. With the full 80 stamps
now running regularly the monthly
output from the mine will reach $780,
000 with net profit of about $35, 900.
The total output this year to date has
been about $4,000 tons, which places
the mine second only to the lie Roi in
British Columbia.
