Mr.. Gallup did not open his mouth
in reply. He had reached chapter
In the book wherein it stated that roost-
ers crowed in the early morning not
to welcome daylight, but to scare pole
cats away, and he was oblivious of all
else.
"Well, what l was goin to say" con-
tinued Mrs. Gallup as she wiped her
eyes, was that believed she borrer-
ed nutmeg of me on that occasion to
make custard and has never paid it
back. If she lends you any chairs fur

you'll think of me. hope-I hope
At this point she broke down and
sobbed, but even had she laughed in
stead Mr.. Gallup would not have re-
marked it. He was reading a state
ment that in olden times hens used to
lay eggs as big as pumpkins and that
one such egg hitting temperance lee
turer In the solar plexus would have
caused instant death. The sobs finally
worked off. and Mrs. Gallup said:
"Never mind what | hope. I've got
my summons, put my house In order,
and now I'll expire. Goodby, Samuel.
and goodby ALL"
She turned and stretched out on the
lounge and was heard from no more.
After Mr.. Gallup had read Of brakes

who formed personal attachments for
cows, of hens who learned to know a

and rose up with 'ho-hum" and look

Voices of the Ice.

The winter of the far north is not
wholly silent, although SO little life is
manifest at that season. A paragraph
from Captain Koldewey's account of
his winters stay on the east coast of
Greenland makes this fact very clear:
All these movements of the ice-the
gradual crowding and pressing. bend
ing and pushing. the breaking of the
masses of snow lying at the lice foot"
do not go on noiselessly, but are gen.
orally accompanied by certain sounds,
which are called the voices" Of the
ice.
Now we hear low singing, splash
ing or grumbling. alternating with va
rious other noises. cracking and snap
ping; now it sounds irregularly from a
great distance, like confusion of hu-
man voices, the changing din of a
train or a sledging party, or you fancy
you hear the steps and voices of all
sorts of animals.
There is charm in listening to these
sounds on still night.

GRAHAM COUNTY LINES
Good Strike Made Recently by Crowley
and Burke

The Copper Era in its latest issue
says:
a strike of unusual Importance has
been made during the past few weeks
by Crowley and Burke on 4 prospect
located near the head OF Copper King
gulch on the north side of Shannon
mountain. The lead was discovered
about two years ago by Ambrose
Burke. but like most prOspectOrs they
did not have the means with which 10

ing expert who reported on the Stev-
ems property. The original owners.
thus being furnished with the need
ful,' proceeded to sink a working shaft
5XS feet on the lead. When the Era
man visited the camp last week he
found the shaft down As feet. Sulphides
commenced TO come in at a depth Of
20 feet and the bottom of the shaft Is
row all in sulphide ore that Will aver
age from 10 to 90 per cent. The shaft
is sunk in the bottom of the gulch,
v hich is hundreds of feet lower than
the deepest workings of most Of the
mines of that section, which proves
that the sulphides go down. The eX-
tent of the strike is not yet known be-
cause there has been no prosecuting
or drifting on the vein. The same vein
rms through part of a claim owned by
Schumann and Arbuclle, and can cas-
lily he traced for some distance along
the left side of King gulch. The claim
is Joined by property of the Shannon
company and a. &. company, and it is
likely that considerable force of men
will be put to work by these companies
on adjoining claims within the near
future Since the above was written,

opened up the richest copper mine in
Arizona. Mr.. Elliott was always
firm believer in the old Copper King
and made heavy sacrifices in both time
and money to bring the property into
4 producing state, but owing to incCm-
petent manag cement he was doomed to
disappointment. Since the reorSaniZa
ton Of the company. and now that the
management is in the hands of 4 COM
petent musiness man, Mr.. Elliott has
reason to congra :ul&te himself, as the
property has made 4 most wonderful
showing and has come to be acknowl-
edged as the richest copper mine in
the territory.
A shipment of five and ha,f tons of
ore was made last week from the Sum
nit and s. L. c. L. mines near Metcalf
to the A. c. company which returned

ton. The ore was taken out while do
ing development work near the apex
of the vein, the ore struck being two

pay streak to be four feet in width.
Jim Randall has had assays made
from his Copper Era mine and got re-
turns of 30 per cent zinc. The mine is
located about two miles above Metcalf
Mr.. Randall thinks he can assert the
ore so that it will average from 60 to
10 per cent and as he has plenty Of
it he hopes 10 be able to handle the ore

MINING NOTES.

Henry Herlbuckle, an engineer at
the Brunswick mine near Metcalf, met
with what came near being a very seri-
Gus accident last week. He was clean
ing the generator OF the gasoline en-
CINE by candle light, when an explo-
sion occurred which burned his face
quite severely, but his eyes were not
injured. The engine is located in
tunnel several hundred feet from tie
surface, hence the generator could not
be cleaned by daylight. Henry laid off
for repairs a couple of days and then
went back to work.-Copper Era.

by the a. c. company on brick manu-
featured from fire clay recently dis
covered by Brick" Williams was most
satisfactory. George Frazier, who has
charge of the furnace, stating that
they were first class, equal to, and in
fact superior to any brick he had been
using. Mr.. Williams will at once put

manufacture of fire brick in Clifton

The Oldest Vessel In Use.

A curious old boat arrived at White haven, England, the other day. At one time, a hundred years ago, the yes eel sailed regularly from Portaferry to whitehaven and was then called the Portaferry frigate. and afterward the name of the Three Sisters was be- slowed upon her. But. most extraor- dinary of all, it is solemnly alleged that she was used in 1889 at the siege of Londonderry to carry provisions up the famous ugh Foyle in those stir ring times. | this be so-and the state ment seems to be founded upon fact the Three Sisters is the oldest vessel in actual use.
