John Molder, superintendent of the
Home Copper company's mines, was
down last week, and is quite enthusi-
astic over recent developments he is
making on some OF the company's gold
claims. He states that he has Il quartz
lead l. feet wide which will average
81 in gold and silver Mr.. Molder
expects to make a contract with the
D. c. company for this quartz, which
will be used for converter lining. AS
the ID. c. company would consume 80
tons of this ore per day, it would mean
4 considerable amount of work for the
new company, and leave a safe margin
above expenses in the development OF
tho property.

so rapidly that the old gentleman lost
control Of his temper, and proceeded
to make it personal matter. Joe
weighs about 100 pounds and Muldoon
about 300, hence it was apparent on the
part Of the BOer side, that a graceful
retreat would be in order, but Muldoon
blocked the passage to the front door,
and as Joe's southern blood was up he
could not think OF retreating through
tho kitchen. He bombarded Muldoon
with bottles OF pickles, Tobasco sauce,
tomato catsup and other dclicacies,
until the old man looked like lobster
salad, and was compelled to retreat.
But he was not vanquished and re-
turned to ronew the attack with

stable Hamilton appeard and placed
MuIdoon in the tunnel, in order to give
him time to cool off. The Chinaman
was the only man hurt" by the dis
