Encouraging Report from Sorenson.
BLACK BAY NINE, July 3, 1903
TO the Directors of The Black Bay

BLACK BAY MINE, July 3, 1903
To the Directors of The Black Bay
Mining Co.
Gentlemen:-As I mentioned in nv
last letter, we have commenced drift
ing, and we are finding some very
good ore. It is still improving for
every shot and every foot we go into
the wall. The rigging we have for
hoisting was neither safe nor fast
enough to 60 any deeper, and it re-
quired too much time to get the rock
out of the shaft. A steam hoist will
be necessary to carry on the sinking
any deeper. Mr.. Cross of Silver Is
let paid US visit the other day. He
is an old expert miner, and he advised
US to drift, as this. layer of ore was as.
good drift as we could expect to
find, and by following it with a drift
1t would more than likely lead US to a
large body of high grade ore. We
have taken his advice, and I am send
ing you some samples of the ore we
| oIO WOIAAAS LII ~" III tu0
wish to state that these samples are
not picked, but straight run such as
we are getting it out. There is in my
mind no doubt of big thing ahead of
us. The grade of ore we have now is
a big thing and way above expecta-
tions. I am of the opinion that we
have just barely missed large body
of high grade ore with the shaft, and
the cheapest way to reach it is by drift.
as it can not be great ways off from
the shaft-in fact, we are in the edge
of it now, as you can see for your
selves from the samples. AS stated
above these samples are straight run
such as they came out, only that we
broke them up SO as to pack them bet
ter in the boxes. I am sending you
five boxes by freight. I think that for
q straight run they are as fine SAM
Piles as ever came out of mine at the
same depth.
Yours respectfully,

Another PaQanini.

When a violin which formerly be-
.longed to Paganini was recently sold
in London Tor $4,000 experts supposed
that it was the rarest instrument of
its kind in the world. but it is not, for
news now comes that one quite as
valuable has just been discovered in
PreSbourg. This latter instrument
! belongs to Nine Elise de Mogyoros-
sy, and she received it from her faith
ier-in-law, who was formerly a captain
in the Austrian army.
Some years ago, it appears, while
he was on duty at Verona, which at
that time was under Austrian rule, he
bought this violin at public auction
and obtained with it ample documen-
tary proof that it was formerly the
property of Paganiri. Nine Mogyor-
,ossy has already received an offer of
$4,000 for the instrument. but she is
mot disposed to part with it at any
price. If she changes her mind, it is
very probable that the valuable relic
will pass into the possession of the
Conservatory of Budapest.

Murder Brought to Light in Extraor-

Some peasants, while recently work
ing near Dyakonoff, a village in Rus
STA, noticed a wolf running at q little
distance and carrying in his mouth
something that looked like portion
of human body. Naturally they were
much disturbed, and straightway be
gan to search for the animals lair.
After crossing broad field they found
it, and in the ditch near it they speed
lily unearthed the head and clothes of
farmer named Agarkoff, who had
disappeared a few weeks previously in
mysterious manner.
The authorities were notified, and
the investigation which they held soon
showed that a terrible crime had been
committed. Agarkoff's wife, it seems,
was infatuated with a disreputabIe
fellow named Tchernich, and as her
husband was in the way she deter
mined to get rid of him.
Consequently she made him drunk
one evening and induced Tchernich to
cut off his head witr Ratchet, after
which she mutilated the corpse and
buried it. Fortunately and thanks to
the wolf, she and Tchernich are now

Vegetarian Church and Pastor.


sought to convert others to their way
of thinking and living.
The church, with its vegetarian pas
tor, vegetarian congregation and vege-
tartan choir, is called the First Bible
Christian church of Philadelphia. Rev.
Henry S. Club, the pastor, is hale
and hearty, and his Pensioners from
years end to years end touch no
meat. For some time DR.. Club has
preached to Philadelphians the value,
both to the moral and physical man,
of disciplining the appetite for flesh
food, and for more than seventy years
he has followed the doctrines of the
vegetarian church. The Philadelphia
church was founded some years ago
and it's congregation has gradually
grown from a mere handful of people
to a f1ourishing body, new members
now being constantly gained.
The forms of their service are few
and are very simple, but impressive.
The golden rule is the basis of their
creed, and spirit of peace like that
felt in the good old-fashioned Quaker
meeting house prevades their place of
worship.
A vegetarian sanitarium has also
been opened and IS meeting with woD-
derful success.

tremendously with the real people"
of Russia.
Petroff, with the strength of cour-
age and sincerity that has cast aside
all precedent and prejudice, has come
outside the church and undertaken
the gigantic task of reaching the Rus
sian peasant and preaching directly
to them.
Christ the man. is the theme of
his departure, at which even the
speak of the distant attitude of the
nobility and the classes.
But Petroff considered not prece-
dent nor prejudice. He engaged a
hall in ST. Petersburg and began the
delivery of long course of lectures
on the life of Christ the man.
AS a plain matter of fact, the Or
thodox Church did not look with favor
upon this striking departure from
Greek customes, but Petroff's elo-
quence was so convincing and his
wonderful style of delivery so power
full, and back of it all the strength
and earnestness of his convictions
were SO compelling, that he not only
overcame the prejudice in his own
church, but gathered around him the
support of the court and society.
Petroff now has full sway in Russia,
and he is more popular than ever
priest has been before him.

Antlers Span over Five Feet

One of the most striking objects in
the exhibit of the Canadian Pacific
railway at the dominion exposition at
Toronto was a gigantic moose head
that was shot by Fred Southam of
Montreal in the Kippewa district, to
the eastward of Lake Temiskaming.
The span of the antlers is 621s' inches
and the head would have gone 63 were
it not that small fragment has been
Clipped off one horn in combat. Only
a few years ago sportsmen doubted
the existence of even a 60-inch head,
but for some unexplained reason
moose heads in northern Quebec and
in the lower provinces appear to be
larger now than was the case a gen.
Grafton or two ago.
