Two Twenties.

On Tuesday of this week, one of the
frequenters of certain saloon in town,
took from his pocket two twenty-dollar
gold pieces and sticking one in either
eye, holding them in place in the same
manner that jeweler holds his magni-
flying glass, stepped into the street,
whore he soon lost both of them, the
dust being pretty thick. Search was
made for the missing money, several
by-stsnders joining in the hunt, but
only one twenty could be- found, and
suspicion fastened upon one of the COM
pany, quite young man of good re-
pute. He Indignantly denied the ac-
cusation and resented the imputation,
but his word was doubted and, so the
story goes, he was hustled into d back
room of the saloon and searched, every
stitch OF his clothing being taken off,
during the operation. The missing
money not being found, his accusers
allowed him to go, and soon after his
departure another by-stander found
the money in the road where the owner
had lost it.

those desiring instructions in elocution

''In the selections rendered, both grave
and gay, Mrs. Mae Green Jones evinced
remarka BILE powers of expression and a
full, rich voice."
The Portland (Maine) Transcript
pays the following tribute: Mrs. Mae

ing wonderful versatility of talent. "
The Modesto Herald in referring to
the gifted elocutionist, states: 'In
delicacy of pathos, in compression and
intensity of passion, she is immeasur-
ably ahead of many noted elocution-
ists.
The Eastport (Maine( Standard,
speaks in high praise as follows: "The
dramatic readings were perfectly rem
dered and with such force and passion
as to hold the large audience in breath
less suspense during the exciting

For some time rumors have been
floating about that this mine was open
ing up with excellent prospects. A
visit of inspection had been contemplat-
ed for some time, and Saturday, June
23d, two friends dropped in on the
genial superintendent, James E. Dye,
and found him busy in the mill, super
vising the fitting up of additional
stamps and concentratOrs, preparatory
to handling the immense quantity of ore
that is being blocked out. After show
ing us about the mill, where 20 stamps
were pounding away on ore that was
yielding enough to make the superin-
tendent wear a satisfied smile, he kind
ly invited us to inspect the workings at
the 500 level where the force is at pres
ent making extensive preparations for
stopping. This work is being done on
the hanging wall ledge, where an ap-
parently inexhaustable quantity of
most excellent looking ore is in sight.
This ledge is many feet in width and is
as highly mineralized as any ore that
we ever examined. The whole exposed
mass of ore fairly scintillating with sui
phurets. This ore yields So in sulphur
cts, that assays $50 per ton. to say
nothing of the free gold, which, at the
time of our examination, made the
plates look well enough to satisfy any
one, unless he wanted the earth. ("
In our humble judgment the Old ANA
dor Queen. is on the eve of an awaken
ing that.will astonish some of the wise
ones who think that there is nothing in
this great ledge extending from the
Zeile to the river and beyond.
We congratulate Superintendent
Dye on the probable successful out
come Of his struggle to make mine OF
this property.
