WANDERING
By LINUsLEY FLAvEL suNEs.


I wandered aimIess in a mystic
night,
And seeing saw not, and I cast
aside
Untainted blossoms, but to seize
in pride
Rank pOisOn-dOwers, since that
they were bright;
And 10, the poison perfume slew my
sight
And left me blinded there with
none to guide:
Then surely for my folly had I
died
But that you came and kept my
steps Alright
You led me then-you lead me
ight-ward still,
For I was strong and old, who
now am weak,
And I was proud, who now am
humbled low,
Who seek no service save to do your
viii;
No music save those syllables you
speak;
No life, save living in your
love, know.

Conditions IN China have again
reached the critical stage. The Box
ers have renewed their pernicious ac-
tivity, this time under another name.
They call themselves the Lantern So
ciety, but, as before, the movement
Is directed against the foreigners, es-
peciany against the Christian mis-
sionares and native converts. Their
hatred of the foreign element has
been stimulated by the extraordinary
taxes demanded by the central gov
eminent in order TO be able to meet
the indemnify payments exacted by
the allied powers. The vieeroys in
those provinces that are the scene of
the present disturbances are reported
TO have taken the most rigid measures
70 restore order, but thus far they
have not made much Roadway In the
meantime the representatives Of the
powers have addressed remonstrances
to the Emperor, and several DEGREES
have been issued IN consequence, all
eEioiniylg upon the viceroys that the
rebellion must be suppressed at all
costs.

government Is honest this time IN de-

! OLINGHOUSE NOTES

~S~~O@~~v~
The Forlorn Hope is showing splen-
did values in the north drift, which is
now in rs feet.
A. F. Sisson reports ore running
well up to the $4,000 per ton on the
Belcher. Frank expects his hard
rock down from Donnely any old day.
The No. 2 mine is producing low
grade ore in the south drift now being
run on the 30 foot level. Supt. Poole
states that the entire drift is in ore,
hence the width of the ore body is I'M
known.
Warren Golding is making prepara-
tons to start the lower mill for the
winter run. He will put in a heating
plant and cover the pipes to avoid
danger from cold snaps. J. A. Sattler
is the mill man in charge, whose ar
rival has been delayed for a few days
by a California visit for Thanksgiving
among friends.
Johnny Goldie is visiting with asso-
ciates and looking owe the various
properties in which he is interested.
Under a diet such as Poole brothers
are prescribing for MIR. Goldie, a man
ought to live to bury EN- and dance OIL
their graves. If wise ones can tell
what we are by what we eat, then by
the cooks may we not judg; the grub ?
Green hill mines are looking better
than ever. Nearly 90 tons Of ore pro-
duced from the Butte and Gold Center
will average $50 per ton. 1t is to be
hoped Mr.. Olinghouse may succeed in
paying for the property from this mill
ing. He deserves it by the boldness
shown in backing up his judgment by
taking a Ct ance.
The Crown Point mine under boz d
to Bell & Co., has been released, no
reason being given by the management.
This is rather strange when the last
shots fired brought ore in both north
and south drifts. Mr.. Sheehan ought
to feel very fortunate in getting 2l9
feet Of dead work done and the ore
shoots located. Go ahead! Make a
mine Of the Crown Point.
". C. Williams has completed the
new roadway and reduced the grade
very materially in making the change.
Now that the snow has laid the dust
and packed the track, all who travel to
and fro from the canyon are bound to
realize that we owe a vote Of thanks to
Mr.. w. C. Williams for many days Of
labor with teams and men given for
road improvement. Former comment
criticizing his efforts were made think
ing the work completed.

scare. Tho cold wave that was on the cara

fully, and low temperatures rules over sun
day When the market opened this morning
there was much nervousness shown. Inc
shorts were afraid that the market was on
the verge of another crop scare, and there
was bidding for small lots to cover on Tue
curb before the opening. The first trade IN
May at the opening was at I51ac, an advance
of &c over Saturdays close, and May sold
directly to 1850. Then the scare was over
for the time. and the pit settled down to
wait for damage reports. None came. Inc
short crowd took courage and began to put
out little wheat again. The market slid OH
gradually, selling to I3lsc at noon. Woflo

After noon the market weakened. Many
who had taken on long wheat on Saturday IN

cOuraged at the lack of built enthusiasm and
began to sell. May had sharp break strik-
ing 724c. The close weak at 12$ac Tor
