Lost by Caution.

At monthly gathering OF an organ
ization which its members call the Hell
Box" the old telegraph editor told this:
There Is such a thing as being too
cautious. 1t was the cause Of a paper
on which I once worked being scooped
the only time 1t ever had in its career Of
having a beat. All on account Of the
cautious boss.
He had held his place for years on the
strength of his bump of caution. There
hadn't been libel suit in his admins
tration. But his caution finally downed
him. The national republican convention
was being held. 1t was the convention Of
lSSS, or. as our commercial editor put it,
one and their eighths. There was a
smart young man doing politics. He was
on the inside in his business. The day
before the nomination he got a straight
tip on the head of the ticket. The paper
was an afternoon sheet. Our young man
had 10 minutes in which to send in his
tip for the next edition. He missed the
hotel elevator and came down from
headquarters boy fashion, on the hanis-
ter rail. The telephones were all busy.
He rushed to the telegraph operator in
the rotunda of the old Grand Pacific no.
tel. The operator had stack of mes
sages before him and couldn't cut in
with the young mans tip. The latter
gave the operator a half dollar and told
him to so and buy some cigars. The
operator wanted to smoke nightly just
then and took the tip. He was gone for
some time. Meanwhile the smart young
man wired in his beat. The cautious
boss got the message in time. but his
old habit of never handling any but a
sure thing had grip on him. In this
moment of hesitation he called up a
news association. and. repeating the tip
he asked the manager of the association
if he had heard it and if he believed 1t.
That settled everything. The afternoon
sheets had the tip in their extras, and
Harrison was nominated on the following
day. according to the tip. That was the
last of Old Caution. He died few years
ago but III bet he wasn't sure of it until
after he had been planted"

SHOWING UP WELL
BUTTE & IOWA COMPANY HAS A
VEIN OF COPPER-sILv ORE.
WILL SINK SHAFT DEEPER
Superintendent Hewitt Makes a Re-
port of the Directors-He Makes
Some Suggestions Relative
to Future Work.

The Butte & Iowa Mining company.
which is developing the Colorado claim
in the southeastern part of the city. has
struck vein OF copper-silVer ore that
assays , per cent copper and Is ounces
in silver, and the stockholders are quite
jubilant over il. None of their shares
of stock are for sale just now. but in all
proba biity 10000 shares of the treasury
stock will be offered at so cents per share
in order to raise more money for further
development.
The Colorado claim is claim on which
there can be little doubt that much
better showing will be made when great
er depth is attained. as it is without
doubt right in line with the copper prop
critics farther east the shaft being only
about 25 yards south of Park street.
Superintendent Report.
Superintendent Hewitt has made a re-
port of the condition of the property to
the directors. In it he says:
THE shaft in the Colorado is down $50
feet. At depth of As feet it passed
through two or three feet of ledge matter
containing stringers of quartz of no as
say value. AT IS feet another ledge three
feet wide was cut. 1t contained some
streaks carrying lead, zinc and iron.
with traces of copper. An assay of the
ledge matter at that point showed IS
ounces in silver, s1.20 in gold and trace
of copper. At depth of $50 feet the
shaft cut another lead from "A to 80
inches wide, with a well-defned foot wall.
This ledge Is composed of favorable
looking quartz, heavy in iron. and we Sc
cured from it an assay of 1S.4 ounces in
silver and 6.S ounces in copper. Ore of
this character could be mined at net
profit of $40 per ton under present values
of copper and silver
THE lead looks very promising and
with depth is likely to increase in size
and value, as we hope the others will
do. the general history of leads in this
vicinity being an improvement IN values
as depth is attained. I recommend that
the shaft be sunk 300 feet below the sur
face. with a l0-foot stump; that sta
ton be cut at that depth and crosscut
driven SO as to fully develop the veins
1t may be also advisable to drift east
and west after crosscutting
Surface Equipment.
The shaft on the property is OF two
compartments. timbered with loxl0-incf
timbers and two-inch plank tagging. The
gallows frame is "a feet high, erected i
feet above the surface, with suitable
bins to receive the waste that comes from
the mine and has to be hauled away.
The equipment consists Of a NO.
