A TRUE HERO.
One of the Kind That Gets Little
Recognition Here Below.

Recognition Here Below.
Did you ever know q hero real well?
know at least one and quite intimate
ly. Who? l am afraid you would hard
ly recognize his name, and besides it
would not be just right to give it here.
He is only an old bachelor who works
in a shop. He has been at one bench
for something like-well, from this you
may judge: When he began, he was
fresh from school. He lives in little
frame house, with an absurd little
back yard hardly more than big enough
for the syringa bush and the ash bar
rel.
1.-The first morning l started for the
shop" he once told me, Il cut across
the back yard and climbed the fence.
/ have been doing it ever since, and it
has been a long time" In the tiny
lawn is worn a deep footpath. The top
rail of the back fence is smoothly pol
ished His feet wore the path. His
hands polished the rail. And all these
years he has worked at the same
bench doing the same work.
Not that he lacks intelligence or that
he never had an ambition. Intelligence
he most certainly has, no mean lore OF
books and a wide, generous grasp OF
affairs and the drift of things Amb1-
ton he had too but that was before
his feet had worn a path across the
back yard. l am quite sure that he
once loved. In fact, l suspect that
know the one he loved, and that she
loved him. But he never married. She
did, though she has been widowed for
a dozen yeaIS.
But why, you ask, with intelligence
and ambition, did he stick to his
bench? In an upper room of his little
cottage is a window blind which is
never opened. Behind that blind, peer
ing out through the shutters with I'M
recognizing gaze, sits one who bears
the outward form of manhood, yet
lacks manhoods mental qualities The
one behind the blind is his brother.
Downstairs puttering feebly about and
speaking only in high, thin, querulous
tones, is a wan and bent old woman
his mother. For the sake of these two
he has worn the path in the lawn; for
them he put away ambition; for them
he stifed the love that once stirred
within him.
He is past middle age now, thin as to
hair, stopped as to shoulders. Yet is
there a tenderness in his voice, cheer
full sweetness in his smile, a patient
resignation in his pale blue eyes, that
make his manner of such mild gentle
ness as you might expect in saint.
From him comes never a word of COM
plant; about him is no trace of dis
appointment, no hint of bitterness.
And So though few know his name,
though he wears no glittering gauds,
though he goes his way unhampered
by pomp or circumstance and all un
recognized by church or state, | can
not help but count him one Of earth's
true heroes. Don't you?-Sewell Ford
in Brandur Magazine.

HEINZE ORE BODY FAILS
Fat kidney" In the Cora Mine
Pinches Out.

Pinches Out.
Special to The Journal ~
Butte, Mont, April 25.-one of the most
remarkable cases Of an ore body peter
Ing that has ever been known in the
Butte district has just been brought to
notice, the vein, or what was supposed to
be vein, narrowing to nothing from
what was considered fair width.
The property in which the peterins oc-
CURED Is the Cora mine, owned BY r.
Augustus Heinze and located in the
northern part of the district. The shaft
on the Cora was sunk to depth OF 900
feet and body OF ore struck within
thirty feet of the shaft. The vein was
said to have been five feet wide at that
point. A crew Of men was put to work
on 1t and at, the same time sinking was
resumed with the intention OF catching
the body 100 feet deeper.
When the 1,00o-foo mark was reached
drift was run 100 feet under the shoot
OF the 900 and it was found that the
body above had pinched out entirely with
the exception of a 15-inch streak OF min
eralized rock.
Work was continued on the 900 until
the body or shoot there was completely
exhausted and then all the men were
laid on The body struck on the 900, 1t
seems. was simply a kidney which ex-
tended few yards above the level and
gradually narrowed in it's upward course
till 1t pinched out. When 1t gave out
above Wine was sunk In it with the
result that it petered below
After the miners had all been laid
off William Regan and three other men
took contract to sink the shaft 100
feet deeper and are now doing that work
The kidney on the 900 yielded an aver
age of eighty-four tons Of ore a day until
about two weeks ago, when the quantity
began to diminish, and finally dwindled
to nothing.

that much gold monthly. The property
WAS located over twenty five years aSo
and has been worked In a primitive way
for several years. The ore was rich. and
the owners soon took ont enough money
to build and equip a good-sized stamp
mill.
The Titanic Mining company has started
work at the shaft, near Carbonate. after
an enforced idleness of several weeks on
account OF damp snow. It was impossi-
BILE to kaul coal to the mine. and the fuel
for the engine became exhausted. The
shaft is about $50 feet deep, and is be-
lieVed to be In close proximity to quartz
lite. Drifting will begin to the east and
west as soon as the contact is reached
and station cut. This will be the first
company to do any Quartzite work In the
region.
The annual meeting OF the Twentieth
Century Mining company has been called
for Deadwood the latter part OF this
month. Work will also be outlined for
the year at the meeting.
: Work Is well under way at the Golden
Crest mine at the head OF Two Bit gulch
The hosting plant in the shaft Is in
perfect order, notwithstanding three
years ld1eness, and the company is
preparing to sink the shaft to greater
depth. Several Of the drifts from the
shaft are also to be continued.
The University Mining company has
commenced permanent work on the B. J.
Heath ground near Rockford. The prop
erty was purchased in March. and for sew
eral weeks the company was prospecting,
preliminary to deep exploration.

NINE CONSOLIDATION
Gigantic Operating Company to TAX
Over Cripple Creek Properties.

Gigantic Operating Company to Take
Over Cripple Creek Properties.
Special to The Journatoa:
Colorado Springs, Colo, April 25.-The
largest mining consolidation ever effected
in the history Of Cripple Creek, and one OF
Sthe largest in the state was put through
by representatives Of the Woods Invest
ment company. The deal embraces be-
tween four million and five million dollars
worth OF inside territory and includes
eight mines owned and operated by the
Woods syndicate.
"A gigantic operating company has been
formed to take over all the properties Of
the merging companies; 2,70o persons,
scattered throughout the entire world, are
directly influenced by the deal, this being
the number Of the stockholders in the
consolidating companies. The new cor
poration owns or controls 375 acres along
the line of the United Mines tunnel, which
runs under the richest portion Of the Grip
pie Creek district for a distance of about
10000 feet and cuts the deepest mine at
depth of approximately LOO feet.
This vast mining estate, the largest con-
trolled by any one company in Cripple
Creek, is to be thoroughly developed by
'series Of deep shafts to be sunk until con-
nected with the United Mines tunnel.

Mining Activity There the Greatest
z Ever Known.
VERY MANY EXPLORING OUTFITS
Iron Ore Shipments From Minnesota
the Largest for So Early
e+a In the Season.

Special to The Journal
Duluth, MINI, April 25.-There are now
IN Itasca county, In addition to the drills
on the Mississippi Lumber company's
lands, about twenty Live exploring outlts
either at work or planning to start this
spring. No such activity has ever pre-,
vailed In that part OF the Minnesota dis
trictA
April will close with a larger shipment
than ever made SO early in the season.
The Duluth & Iron Range road alone will
have moved forward before the first of
May 100000 gross tons of ore Other
roads are doing their best, but some are
hampered by delayed dock and track con-
struetion.
The oliver & Snyder mine near Hibblng
vii have second shaft at once; the first
has met SO much water that it is impos-
stble to do much with it. This shaft has
been all winter going down 100 feet, as
autcksand and water have seriously Inn
peded 1t.
!. Eighty feet OF ore have been found in q
hole Ia the northeast part Of section 20,
township 81, range rs, where exploring has
been under way since last summer. Ore
has been cut under a thickness Of 100 feet
OF ferruginous ebert, called taconite and
corresponding to Jasper found on other
ranges. The rock was cut near Hibbing
andfthe ore below it Is excellent.
Pumps are working twenty-four hours
day on the old McComber. shaft on the
Vermillion range. 1t is the general opin-
ion that the location is fairly favorable
for the discovery Of a deposit of high
grade. hard ore. Probably large sum will
pc spent there during the summer in the
hope Of finding ore OF value. This is, with
the exception of some work the Mahoning
Ore and Steel company is doing, the only
sxpl oration on the Vermillion range.
The Mass shaft of the Cleveland Cliffs
company at Negaunee is still going down
without great trouble from quicksand,
though the water and sand sometimes boil
up In the shaft and stop sinking for
time.
The Tobin, new mine on the Menomi-
nee range, Is showing up splendidly and
the indications are that it will prove
valuable property. 1t belongs to one of
the large mining and shipping concerns

tons warrant.

Increased their Mesaba range operations,
ana are now opening the Minorca mine,
near Virginia, for which a very large price
was paid two years ago. Two shafts are

Z Calumet, Mich, April 25.-Shipments ~
copper are going forward very heavily.
ana there Is the best Of proof for the
statement that no lake mine has re-
strtoted Its output on account of price or
anything else. April will show the lar
eest lake movement to the east of any
like month in the history OF the district.
!, During the, present year about all of
ths new mines Of the district, Houghton,
keewenaw and Ontonagon sections, will
be producers up to their expectations.
Thts is the result of. the fact that their
development began about the same time,
ana long enough ago so that they have
been able to close up preliminary work,
ana also on account of the fact that little
new work has been carried far enough
at the time Of the recent depression to
warrant continuance. The output of this
year will run up to fully 10000, 10000
pounds. which may be figured as the
average for good years for some time to
come. A depression will reduce this
amount, particularly on account OF the
rtch southwestern mines that are Wheel
Ing into line as producers and that can
make and sell copper at prices that would
probably close up nine tenths of the lake
mines OF to-day, and whose real i'm
portance is not yet understood. These
new properties include such mines as the
Green Consolidated Of northern Mexico
and the newer Calumet and Arizona group
at Htshee, Arizona. Mines like these,
with, copper running 10 to rs per cent, are
sure to become menace to the lake in
times OF adversely.
There are now very few lake prospects
that show well enough to warrant ex-
tenstva development. Aside from Micht-
gan and Victoria, there Is hardly single
one tia. deserves mill. OF the newest
pFospscts there are very few that will
be continued. OF these latter are the
Stanton explorations and the St. Mary's
south of the Trimountain. Most Of these
prospects have already been discontinued
and Il will be difficult to reopen them for
q long time, even should copper advance.
