A Pleasant Surprise.

The teachers and officers of the
Methodist Sunday school yesterday
morning presented supt. W. A. Calfee
with handsome gold d-headed walking
cane, Major Penn made the presen-
tation speech in bestowing this hand -
some taken of esteem.
Ali his life Mr.. Calfee has been q
faithful and devoted Sunday School
worker and for the past fourteen or
fifteen years he has acted in the ca
pacity of superintendent of the school
Ia Waxahachie. We believe we are
safe in saying that no SUNDAY school
Ia Texas has had more jealous on
more faithful worker, and Mr.. Callee
greatly appreciates this token of the
high esteem in which he is held by
his CO. workers in this this great relig-
ious cause.
At the last session of the Northwest
Texas conference held at Corsicana
thls winter a prominent and useful
preacher, now q member of that body,
approached Mir. Calfee and told bim
that it was under his instruction that
he learned his fi-st lessons in the
Bible.
May he live long to continue this
noble work, is the sincere wish of this
paper,

Good Ore in Bloody Gulch Group.

g.
tention to the Bloody Gulch group
OF claims, situated near the old
Standyby mine at Rockford. The
ground has come into prominence
owing to the disclosure of some ex-
cellent ore in the bottom of a shaft
eighty feet deep. The ore is found
in a assure, and carries some free
gold, although the greater portion
of the values is in the concentrates.
The ground consists of 1870 acres
three claims of it patented, and it
belongs to Frank Stogi and Anton
Ruggera. The group lies in a quarter
of a mile of the Burlington railroad,
and two parallel veins cross the
group almost its entire length.
The Black Hills Copper company
has closed a zeal for the Benedict
mining property in Hornblende
camp G few miles southwest of
Rockford. There is 200 acres of the
ground, belonging originally to
Mendenhall, Hooper and Smith.
The first payment has been made on
the ground, and the Black Hills Cop
per company has assumed possess
sion. The Benedict has one of the
largest bodies Of low grade free mill
ing and concentrating ore in the
Back Hills outside of the Home
stake, and the work Of fully explor-
ing it is to be commenced this
month.
The British-America Copper COM
pany, whose ground joins the sBlack
Hills group, has a force of men at
work, and this is to be increased by
the end Of the month. The company
has recently oeen issuing first mort
gage bonds on it's stock to procure
money for further development and
100000 has been raised in this man
ner. The company owns nearly 700
acres of ground in one groupi in Pen
nington county, and about 100 acres
in Lawrence county, where it has
q good showing in gold ores.
Electric drills have been purchas-
ed by the Ajax Mining company for
the Standby mine at Rockford. ]. B.
Baker, superintendent OF the CON-
pany has returned from the East,
where he has been to purchase the
drills. The power for the mill and
mine machinery is obtained from the
water of Rapid creek, and while
running the air compressor it was
impossible to keep more than ten
stamps Of the mill dropping. It is
claimed that there will be q fourth
less power required to operate cleo
