Robert Bell returned to Chal-
lis last Wednesday from a busi-
ness trip to Custer. He was ac-
companied with Major Stanton,
former manager of the Lucky
Boy mine.
While at Custer Mr.. Bell took
run over to Loon creek to take
glimpse at the Lost Packer
and the general outlook of the
new quartz discoveries in that
vicinity.
Mr.. Bell was accompanied on
the trip with Vim. Oster and DIR.
Allen. The old trail up Jordan
creek and down a tributary of
Loon creek by the Mayfield
cabin has been put in excellent
shape, and they made the dis
tance between Custer and ORC
Grande in 81 hours.
The general formation of the
country, says Mr.. Bell, is very
favorable. 1t consists principal
ly of eruptive granite, a thin
series of altered sedimentaries,
and an excessive development of
porphyry dikes together with a
great variety of quartz veins
which in numerous instances
promise to develop into good
mines.
At the Lost Packer mine which
at present is the most prominent
feature CT the new district he
found a nearly vertical tissure
vein on to fouc feet wide, and
carrying average values of SIC
to $500 per ton.
This property has recently
been incorporated by some prom
inent Salt Lake people. A large
block of the stock being held in
Custer.
This company are pushing de-
velopment on the mine with al
the men they can work to ad
vantage and will continue to dc
so all winter.
The company have already
started their initial shipment OF
ore to market, consisting of &
full carload of 90 tons. This
shipment represents the labor OF
two men for 80 days. 1t has
been carefully sorted, and check
samples taken of every so sack
indicate that the shipment will
hold up to the magnificent aver
age of 5000 per ton in gold.
A new tunnel has been started
and is being extended at the rate
of two feet per day. 1t is already
in 20 feet and is expected to cut
the vein within 10 days at &
depth of 100 feet.
Mr.. Bell says there has beer
800 claims located in the new
district. and that excellent
chances are yet afforded, as the
naturalization is very extensive
and he looks for the develop.
ment of a very lively boom next
season surrounding the old plac
er camp of Orc Grande.

The average woman Il q dysd-in-

woman over 30 years Of age looks
distressed. Her brows are bent her
mouth drawn into a tight line, and
there are deep burrows down her
cheeks. She looks exactly as if she
were considering how to provide 3
dinner for 25 cents that will satisfy
twenty-five small children, when IN
reality she may have nothing more
serious on her mind than buying 6
pair of socks for George. No wonder
women grow old faster than men
for they hug their worries to then
and let them show in their faces.
There was once an elderly servant
who was superstitiOus to q degree
and who always expected the worst
to happen. Did she find needle on
the floor, did a picture fall in the

into woe. "We're going TO have

would consider the demon luck e.

In conclusion Il is sim fresh In the

Rev. Longreen Abraham Lincoln Muir
ray. Ms. Lee and Mrs.. Elizabeth Nc
ponald, who h connected With some
Of the courts. all hung around in the
study at Bethel church at all hours
OF the night. how Rev. Carey. and his
flcck OF Quinn chapel rushed In to as
slst in giving Rev. Longreen a thick
coat OF white-wash after his scandal
became a stencil in the nostrib Of all
decent people: how some Of the fol-
lowers Of Rev. Longreen Abraham
Lincoln Murray threatened to murder
Mrs. Lee, n she did not close her
routh in reference to her misconduct
with LonTeen; how Bishop A. Grant
came to this city for the purpose Of
burning Up the scandal: how he gave
up the idea Of trying Rev. Longreen
in Bethel church for the reason that
Hcuy OF his adherents OF supporters
were bent upon blOodshed, and
were marching on Bethel church
armed 70 the teeth with razors, revolv-
CTS. and other deadly weapons; how
the September conference Of 1901,
which convinced in st. Stephens
church on the West Side exonerated
Rev. Longresn Abraham Lincoln Muir
ray, after Mrs. Mcdonald, and one OF
two other women had testified that
they had snapped spit with him in
his study IN Bethel church. Does not
all the foregoing demonstrate that
Rev. LOngreen Abraham Lincoln
Murray, is wholly unfit to expOund the
everlasting gospel, or TO FOse as a
g eat moral leader OF the AfrO-Ameri-
can race?
P. S. Mr.. Dean, Of Indianapolis, Ind,
the former husband Of Mrs. Pasty
Dean. was IN Chicago October u, and
he talked very freely in reference
to Rev. LOnggreen Abraham Lincoln
and his rascality while he
was preaching in Allen Chapel in

peared to be in good health and looked
forward with much satisfaction 20 a
quiet and restful summer

very fine cottage at that place While

his son. Capt. John II. Mcmillan. who
served in the Spanish war and who
died several months ago. rests there
