A Good Mioins Claim.

This week Judge j. NJ. Murphy re-
ceived returns from the shipment of a
carload of ore from the Payroll mine,
Chloride, that netted him large
amount of money. The ore gave a re.
turn of 10 ounces silver, l.75 ounces
gold and 40 per cent lead This car,
load of ore was taken from a drift on
the l20 foot level of the mine and
about 100 feet from the shaft. There
is big body of this ore in sight and
the shipment was made as test of its
value. In timbering up the drift q
streak of solid galena ore was cut that
has about the same value in all the
metals. The vein at the place where
this ore was extracted has a width oi
more than twenty four feet and is
mineralized throughout. 1t is the in
tention of the owners, Judges j. NJ
Murphy, of Kingman, and j. j. Haw
Kins of Prescott, to work the mine OF
big scale in the near future, as it i:
certainly one of the biggest properties
in the Chloride country.

Strike In the Twins Mine.

Last week parties doing the assess
ment work on the Twins mine, at Ger
bat, owned by Judge j. M. Murphy,
discovered an outcrop of gold ore near
the apex of the mountain, in the iron
stone cap. The ore was not in place,
but the size of the float and the rich
ness of it lead F. W. Thies, of Chloride,
to bond the mine for large sum OF
money. The float rock gives values
ranging from l0y0s to l500s. The vein
is four feet in width for two claim
lengths and carries good values wher'
ever opened. Cuts are being run
across the vein at various places to cut
the ore body.

West Indian Footwear

The slowly growing army of tourists
which goes to Cuba and Porto Rico always
notices the graceful footwear of the Span
ish-Amorican islanders. 1t is like that of
Madrid modified to suit the climate and
conditions of the Antilles. Spanish feet are
proyerbially small, with the high instep and
slender ankle SO priced by artists. The
shoes necessarily partake of the same char
actCrist cs and would attract attention any
where. The most striking style to the Wis
itCr from the United States are the morn
ing slippers worn by youthful belle and
staid matron alike. One common kind is a
mere sandal consisting of a sole and a sin
gle band across the lower instep. The sole
may be OF fancy leather, felt, Irvine or
woven hemp. Some are made of water
proofed clCth slightly stifened and re-
enforced in the hollow by a steel spring or
piece Cf leather. The band should, however,
be of silk or velvet of some rich color,
bright or dark, which throws the foot out
in bold relief. The slight pressure which
IL eXerts upon the foot tends to force the
blood INTO the surface and makes each little
toe of a delicate pink coral hue.
Another sandal has a sole and an upper
which covers the forward half of the foot,
only the heel being left bare. According to
the natives, this is worn by women who
have distorted or deformed their feet by
wearing tight boots. In these sandals the
upper may be of silk or satin for the
wealthy, or of wool, cotton or linen for the
poorer classes. The cOmmonest pattern is
of fine check in pOlychrome and next to that
a series of brilliant stripes like a Roman
scarf. The ultra-fashionable have this
piece embroidered in silk floss and silver
and gold thread, and jewelled with seed
pearls or chips of precious stones. Shoes
of this class seem to be a survival of the
old Spanish wOman's stirrup, which was
made in the same shape, decorated and jew
.elled in similar fashion and differing from
the house slipper in beng made stronger
and provided with a steel or silver frame.

Escape from st. Helena

Juan Balderacci, who fought with the
Beers in the TransvaaI until he was cap
tured with Cronje and who, it is said, is
the only Boer who escaped from st. Hell

rived in Baltimore recently.

to South Africa six years ago, when he
joined prospecting parties and went 600
miles farther north in South Africa than
any previous expedition. He also fought
with the Beers in two wars against the
Kafiirs. BalderacCi had a government DO
siticn in Pretoria when the British Boer
war broke out. He enlisted in the Bocr
cause and joined a company of Scandina-
vians under General Cronje. He was at
Magersfontein, Kip river, Belfontein and
Paardeburg. He was a mounted dispatch
bearer for General CTonje when the Boer
forces surrendered to Lord Roberts.
Balderacci has had a horse shot from
under him; he has been on the firing line
but 100 yards from the enemy and twenty
two comrades fell about him at PaardeDurg.
He was captured on February p, 1900, hav-
ing been in the bloodiest battles of the
carly part Of the war and in serv ce since
October II, 1899.
He was in the second shipload Of Boer
prisoners sent to the Island of Saint Helena.
in the South Atlantic ocean, where 5000
prisoners were quarterCd. For two long
years he was a prisoner on the is and made

JULES DARVlAU DROWNED.
Lost His Life While Taking a Swim

Jules Darviau. the. little 7-year-old
son of George Darviau, who conducts
Il drug store on Water street, was
drowned in the Mcssalonskee, yester-
day afternoon. back of the residence
of G. Fred Terry. 1t seems that the
little fellow went to the stream in COM
pany with his brother, Arthur, and
several other boys of about mis- own
age for a swim, but Just how the ac-
cident happened could not be learned,
Yesterday, as the little boys were too
excited and too frightened to tell q
sOod, clear story. After they get over
their fright the real facts can prob
ably be learnea.
Some of the boys went first to the
home of Mr.. Darviau on Summer
street and gave the alarm, so that Mr.
Darviau himself was among the first
TO reach the scene. The boy was taken
from the water as quickly as possible
and without difficulty and worked over
some time in the hope of resuscitating
him, but without success. Those who
saw him say that he had evidently
been in the water an hour when found
but that he was still linn and warm
Coroner w. w. Edwards was sum
moned by Arthur Darviau. an uncle Of
the little boy, and after visiting the
scene of the accident considered an
inquest unnecessary. He was unable
to get any story of just how the ac-
cident happened except that the little
fellow had been swimming.
