AN ACT OF CHIVALRY.
True Kindness of Heart Depends
Neither on Age, Education
Nor social Standing.

Altruism is pretty high sounding
word, but the feeling that it represents
is not all confined to the upper classes,
as the following, taken from the Bap-

1t was a fatiguingly hot day, and
only those whose business was urgent
were found upon the scorching hot
streets. Presently little newsboy ap-
peared in sight. He was not alert and
bustling, as is the ideal newsboy; on
the contrary, he moved along as though
each step he took was painful to him.

cased in a pair of shoes that had GER

of his voice, seemingly unconsciou
that he had just performed a BRAY

A Roping Feat.

L. Joe Fisher, clerk of the dis

exhibition of roping given by
Neil Clark at Bosler last Sunday,
when Mr.. Fisher, Tom Murray.
Joe Coad and Mr.. Clark were rid

a team of mules. Mr.. Clark was
riding on a horse beside the wag-
gon.
Clark threw his lasso and
caught the feet and head of the
off mule, and with another Jerk of
the rope it fell off the animal.
The same feat wus repeated with
the other mule. '.There, catch
that" suddenly exclaimed Fisher,
as "a jack rabbit hoped out of
the sage brush. With a sudden
throw of his rope the lariat went
circling through the air with as
tonishing rapidity and in a twink
ling the rabbit was drawn up at
the end of the rope to Clark's
saddle. The feat was a remarka-

THE Wolverine.
Now has Six Feet Of Phenominally Rich
ore-To be Equipped With Steam
Hoist and Other Machinery at Once.

Six feet of the richest copper
ever taken out of the bosom of
mother earth is the latest report
from the Coldwater's Wolverine
nine. Foreman Montague tele-
phoned this startling information
to the local Office of the company
this morning. The ore is in two
parallel shoots, one four feet and
the other two feet in width. The
smaller shoot WAS encountered
Monday while sinking the shaft.
The larger vein on which the
work has been in progress is on
the lower side of the shaft. The
smaller vein came into the shaft
on the upper side and it appears
that the two bodies will come to-
gether in a few more feet of sink
ing.
The ore i'm the four. foot vein
is now almos; u pure black oxide,
the richest in quality and the
greatest in. quantity of anything
ever found in this entire mineral
belt. 1t Is without exception the
most phenomenal discovery at
this depth ever made in the dis
trict. A drift has been run
twenty-five feet on the solid ore
AMI its limit is not yet reached.
The last shift shot down four tons
of solid black oxides that will
run in the neighborhood of sixty
percent copper.
Jerry Hurley, the freighter,
started for Laramie last Sunday
with ten tons of ore and will take
the balance of a car load Monday
which will be shipped to the Blue
Island smelter.
Two shifts are now working.
The shaft is seventy feet deep,
and the hosting is all being done
with a windlass. These condi-
tions being considered the Cold.
water is making a phenomenal
record as a producer. Arrange
ments are now being made to
move the steam hoist onto the
new shaft.-Herald.
