-Tenderly she laid the silent,
white form beside those that had
gone before. She made no outory,
she did not weep. Such a moment
was to precious to be spent in idle
tears. But soon there came time
when it seemed as if nature must
give way. She lifted her voice. and
cried long and loud. Her cry was
taken up by others who were near
and it echoed and reechoed over the
grounds. Then suddenly, all was
still. What was the use of it all?
She would lay another egg to-mor-

-Dodgeville Chronicle: John Sy-

about five miles southeast of this

Tuesday morning. He had loaded up
a load of sheep. to bring them 70

team to the wagon, onc of his horses
"a colt-took fright and suddenly
started, throwing him to the ground,
and both wheels of the heavily load

fore the team could be stopped, frac-

and decorating his lungs. DR.. Pearce
was summoned at once, and under his

WORK STARTED.
The Sun and Moon Mine Has Resumed
Active Operations.


Active Operations.
After an idleness of four months as the
result of the labor troubles that have
agitated this district, last Monday morn
ing Manager H. N. Sims resumed active
operations on the Sun and Moon prop
erty with an ample force of men, this
being the last mine to open since the
squall struck the camp last February.
1t is but fitting that the beginning of the
end should come with the Sun and Moon
people, for it was with these people that
the inception of the trouble began by the
demand of a minimum of $2.75 per day
for LABOR. The refusal of this demand
precipitated the strike. The trouble
germ was infectious and spread rapidly
to other propositions until mining and
other business became stagnant and up
wards of 400 men were idle, affecting
every interest in the camp. Mediation
was offered on the part of the operators
in the way of what would practically
amount to 80 per cent increase, but the
proposition was ignored.
President Meyer, of the Western Fed.
Grafton of Miners; c. D. Copley, of the
executive committee; and J. c Sullivan
president of the American Labor union,
were called to other fields and all local
peaceful negotiations were declared off,
since which time the mine managers.
backed by the Citizens Protective league,
have declined to treat with the unions
and decided to operate their properties
as they saw fit, brooking no dictations
from disinterested parties.
Manager Sims made no pretentions of
opening his mine with a complete force,
employing only enough men to put the
property in working condition, but the
number will be increased from day to
day until the full force of 100 men are
again at work. The manager is making
no distinction between union and nom
union men in employing labor, the only
question asked of the applicant is as to
whetherfhey belong to the union. If so,
they are asked if they will obey the man
date of the unions if called out on strike,
and if an affirmative answer is made, the
man is not employed. On the contrary
if applicants declare their allegiance to
the company they are employed regard
less of their affiliation. This method is
employed in order to obtain force of
men which will guarantee the uninter-
rupted operation of the property. A pre-
ference is also shown to old employees.
Shipments will at once be resumed to
the Newton and Roberts mills and about
1000 tons per month will be treated.

woodcraft Rivalry Ends in a Feast.

Some months ago, in au endeavor to
secure new members for the lodge, the
Women of Woodcraft, the auxiliary of
the Woodmen of the World, were sep
arated into two divisions, under the dir
ection of captains. Mrs. Dan Macleod
was selected as captain No. 1, and Mrs.
Peterson as captain No 4.
The competition between the two sides
has been very strong, and both ladies de-
serve great credit for their excellent
work. However at the finale, Mrs. Mac
Leod was seventeen in the lead.
Last Wednesday evening the losing
side entertained the other side and a
merry party of the members and the
gentlemen of the Woodmen assembled at
Mrs. Pages, where a magnificent supper
was served.
At late hour the group disbanded
having spent one of the most pleasant
events in the history of the lodge.

has opened up in one of the drifts a
four foot vein running from $50 to $50
at depth of 200 or 800 feet below the
creek level-it being generally consider
ed that the greater values lie deeper in
this district, although fine values have
been found in the drifts above, some of
which we expect to stope to the surface.
1--WE also expect to extend tunnel
1000 or 1900 feet to cut vein in that
part of the mountain. We are qnite sure
that there is an immense blow w.out where
our two properties join, as we have
opened it in one place, over rs feet in
vein matter, no walls being found. The
next vein joining this is fully 90 feet
wide on the surface. The vein Number
Nine, cut in the tunnel, shows over four
feet in width of vein matter, carrying
small streaks of very good values.
"We do not know what this property
will amount to until work has been
thoroughly started, but we are confident
that it is one of the best propositions in
the district. We expect to start the
drills about the 18th, and the mill about
July Ist. When this is done it will be
very quickly seen whether there is some
thing more definite in it. Assays care
fully taken from the veins of any size,
show values from SIS upward to $50

in width, gave an average assay across

and S. B. Edwards, of Denver. Mr.. Nc
Knight represents some of the directors

done and contemplated, Mr.. Wilson see
ing personally to it that no detail was
omitted. After the visit to the mine
was made the party was taken for drive
over the city and to the many points of
interests.
The natura! beauty of the city strongly
appealed to the eastern visitors, and they
contemplate spending a portion of the
summer here. AS far as the management
of the Chicago Mountain proposition is
soncerned Mr.. Mcknight expressed him
self as well satisfied with what he saw,
and he will by his report strengthen the
belief of his associates in the district.

The consumation of the sale on the
Standard group to the Colorado Oregon
Mining and Milling company, will mark
an era in mining up Fall River. The old
Standard group has always been recogni-
zed as one of the most productive PROPOSE
tions in the district. Anyone familiar
with mining in the least can appreciate
the proposition when he enters the work
ings and note the character of the ore and
the size of the veins.
1t is in a sense one of the peculiar
propositions of the district-like the Sun
and Moon and Gem-possessing large
veins and at the same time high values.
AS rule the large veins in the district
are low grade.
Manager and Secretary Davidson, of
the Colorado Oregon, is in the city and
will remain here until everything is in
