"A Piece Of Amy .Robsart's Quilt.

In an old mansion on the outskirts Of
New York, built in Revolutionary days by
a Van Ceurtland,. are contained some
genuine specimens Of work done in Colo
NAL days and when our country was still
in the days Of its youth. This section Of
a bedspread, as shown In cut, was worked
in 1854. It Is done upon coarse, soft cot
ton, the center having large, curvng stems
and leaves in shades of blue, green and
light brown. Upon the two sides of this
spread is the most. remarkable border,
| sixteen rows of this blue green in vary
ing shades, divided by one or two shades
of brown form a background. Each row
| Is half an inch wide in simple up-and-
down stitch. Without a trace of beauty
| in line or coloring,rthis piece has about 1t
| a very potent fascination, as indeed have
| all pieces, beautiful or not, that have sur
vived the rayages of. time. Cor association
and home and sentiment have given them
an added meaning. We can only hope for
our own work that at least it will mean
as much to those who come after as does
| the work Of old times to lis.

Stole Rich Ore.

Inc existence OF streaK OF rlcn Rolu
spar on the 1000 level of the Mammoth
mine was made known to the manage
ment Monday by Sheriff Cronin and Joe
Raleigh, q Salt Lake detective, says the
Tintic Miner of May 29th. The manner
OF the discovery was peculiar, but it net
ted the Mammoth Mining Company
81 ,467 35, and at the same time put an
end to the plans OF several Salt Lakers
who were preparing to open up bonan-
"a that would rival the riches of King
Solomon's mines. The story is as fol-
lows, and its veracity is unquestionable:
Twice during the winter an Italian
presented himself at the Taylor & Brun-
ton sampler at Murray with small
amount of rich gold spar, which he
claimed he discovered in the wilds OF
the Deep Creek range in the extreme
western part Of this county. On the 10th
Of this month he appeared again on
wagon which contained LOO pounds of
auriferous rock for which he received
S1.825. Manager Copeland took the
man to his hons and treated him like
prince, and as result the italian, who
is an alien and for that reason unable to
locate mineral land, agreed to partner
ship arrangement and promised to re
turn and pilot the manager of the samp
ling works to his bonanza Mr.. Dick
Windor, Copeland's brother-in-l law,
wanted in on the play, and dissatisfied
with his share, resigned his position at
the sampler and organized syndicate
to trail the Italian. IT, company with j.
II. Give he set off across the desert.
Another of the syndicate was sent to
Payson to camp on the trail of Ed. Har.
per, who hauled the ore to the sampler,
aud Joe Raleigh was sent out here to To-
cate the Italian, who had gwen his name
as Bergen. and said he lived in Man,
moth. Raleigh sought Sheriff Cronin
and showed him piece Of the ore.
Cronin matched it with piece from the
Mammoth and the two sleuths, with
suspicious aroused, went to Mammoth
on a still hunt. Their man proved to be
Peter Berger who with Hans Nelson, the
company's bookkeeper, ard Braxton
Barnett, water master and Justice of the
Peace, had lease in the Mammoth
mine 1t took some time TO unravel the
mystery. but by dint of the sweating"
process the officers discovered that Bergy
bad kept secret from his partners the
existence OF the fat" streak, carrying
the ore out in the pockets of his canvas
coat. He turned over to Sam Mcintyre,
Sr.. 81 300, to which Mrs. Bergy added
S237 80, and forfeited his lease. Mr.. Me-
Intyre owes to the officers the recovery
of this handsome sum of money, and the
disclosure OF a rich bunch of ore that
may lead to most important develop
ments in the mine. Bergy has wife
and five children, and will probably es-
cape prosecution on that account.

Alladin'S Wonder
full Lamp.

What Alladin's Wonderful Lamp did
for him, the Wonderful Doran Lamp
will do for you; dimly lighted store.is
like Alladin's cave, and needs light to
discover its treasure; we'll lighted place
of business gets the money and that is
the treasure you are looking for.
If you are satisfied with the light you
are using, you are not the man we want
to talk to, but il you are looking for bet
ter illumination, the Wonderful Doran
Light will supply the want and We guar
antee the result.
1t is as convenient as electricity; and
easier to install. 1t is fed from seam
less wire tube, no larger in diameter than
a match, which can be run through the
building the same as electric light wire,
but is not so unsightly.
Doran lamps are connected with a
storage tank, placed out of doors il you
like, the gasoline is forced to the lamps
in the building as fast as it is used
1000 feet OF tubing would not hold more
than one pint of gasoline, and there is
absolutely no danger. The pressure is
equal all over the system and one light
is as bright as the other. The lights
can be turned up or down to any re-
quired candle power.
The Wonderful Doran Light produces
steady, bright, clear illumination, that
will not affect the eye and is superior to
an electric arc light both in illumination
and convenience. No flicker or sputter
as with an electric are.
Each light burns independently of the
others on the system, The Doran light
can be operated at about one. tenth the
cost to operate any other artificial light
upon the market to-day. The sum
OF the whole matter is that with the
Doran Lighting System you can cut your
lighting bills down TO an infnitestimal
amount that will not be noticeable and
you are entirely indepen dent Of gas and
electric light companies.
