A Gosaip's Bride.

This instrument of justice resembles
a rude helmet, opening at the sides to

The Helahth Of Ignorance.

Lawyer Grover delights in nothing
more than in hearing a good story,
and he can tell a few himself, says
the Boston Record. He was telling
me of quaint old Yankee who had
quarreled with his brother. The old
fellow didn't like the brother a bit.
and when the latter was summoned
to appear in court his testimony was
subjected to considerable criticism
"See you had that brother Of mine
on the stand down to court yester-
day." he said, as he met Grover.
"Yes."

LUIS VALLEY ORE.
c. c. Frazier Makes First Ship
ment to This Point.

Ore from the Sangre de Cristo
range, twelve miles south of Cres-
tone in the San Luis valley, is
being received at the Rocky Noun
tain smelter. G. 9. Frazier, an
old-time prospector in these parts,
arrived last evening, accompanied
by the first car load of gold ore
from his mine, and he expects to
make regular shipments here. His
claim is in Pole Creek gulch and
was opened up at depth of
twenty-five feet Mr. Frazier for
years has been finding pieces of
rich float and for the past ten
years has been looking for the
lead which he only discovered last
fall. Assays on some of this float
run into the thousand, but the ore
from the main lead only runs
about ten ounces of gold.
There are hundreds of claims
staked out near his property, The
Cripple Greek and Idaho company
is working twelve men and the
Rio Blanca Mutual already has a
mine at depth of 225 feet. There
is a three-foot vein of hematite
and quartz which carries consider
able gold. This company is put.
ting up a five ton stamp mill and
will treat its own low grade ore
about the middle of May.
Mr.. Frazier will Immediately
put up stamp mill and will treat
his low grade ore at home.
The San Luis Valley Mining q
Milling company, he says, has one
of the best mining propositions in
the state, having opened twelve
foot body of ore at depth of 450
feet. 1t has 5000 acres of mineral
land besides the valley ground
This company has a concentrator
built and will ship several cars of
concep trates to the smelter here
soon, but at present the mill is
shut down.

Florence Men Mining.

The Hoffman Bros, who are
interested in the Copper City Min
ing & Milling company, operating
twenty miles northwest of here,
received word this morning that
the company has opened up a A.
foot vein of copper ore at a depth
of TIA feet in Copper Gulch. The
value of the ore is $33 per ton and
of this amount SIS of it is copper.
The shaft will be put down per-
pendicularly to the 20O-foot level
and the company will then CROSS
cut to the vein Henry Hoffman
says that shipments of ore will be
made about the first of June.
The groupe comprises seven
claims, the assessment work on all
of them having been done for this
year, while deep shafts are being
worked on two of them. All the
properties are located on the state
road between here and Leadville
and the cost of transportation on
this account would be light. The
company has representatives in
New Mexico taking up mineral
claims.

THERE is a pretty story in

THERE is pretty story in con-
nection with the series of articles
which Helen Keller, the wonderful
blind girl, has written for the
Ladies' Home journal, telling
about her own life from infancy to
the present day. She always has
shrunk from the publicity which
follows successful literary work,
and it was with great difficulty
that she was persuaded to take up
the task of preparing her auto
biography. She had, however, set
her heart on owning an Island in
Halifax harbor for a summer home,
and in spirit of fun the editor Of
the journal offered to buy it for
her, or provide the means to buy
it. When the work of writing ap
peared especially irksome Miss
Keller was reminded of her desire
to become land holder, and il
spurred her on. just before
Christmas she completed the first
chapter of her marvellous story
and on Christmas morning she
received from her publishers a
check for good round sum. Her
delight may be imagined, for this
was the first money of any account
which she had ever earned. at is
a fairy tale come true" she said.
Whether she will really carry out
her plan to buy the island remains
