IMPERIAL READY
TO SHIP ORE.
Cable Cove Road In Bad Con-
dition, Increasing Freight
Charges.

Captain A. M. Paul, superintend-
ent Of the Imperial mine in the Cable
Cove district, stopped over in
Sumpter Monday night on his way to
Baker City to make application for
patent to this mining property.
The Imperial group consists of
fourteen claims situated between the
Baby Mckee and the California.
Captain Paul states that he Is now
prepared to ship ore, as soon as
arrangements can be made with the
smelter here, and the Cable Cove
road is repaired so that transportation
charges will be reduced to an
equitable rate. About six miles Of
the Sumpter road is in fairly good
shape, but the rest of 1t Ia in poor
condition. II the roads were fixed,
he says that the transportation from
the mine to the smelter would be
reduced at least one-fourth. The
situation not only affects the I'm
perial, but the other companies, in
the Cable Cove district which have
chipping ore. The county COM
missioners have the matter under
advisement and II is probable that
the road will be attended to.
Another object In bis visit to the
city was to see DR.. Mueller, manager
of the smelter, and make arrange
ments as to smelling charges. The
doctor was out of the city, however,
and this matter could not be attended

1t was past midnight-long past it,,
though not yet dawn. But the two
men who sat in the wineroom of the
little all night cafe did not know it
and did not care.
One drank necessarily and mechan-
ically from brown bottle, but his
eyes were bright and clear-and hard,
with the steely hardness of him who
laughs and hides wound. The other
wreathed himself in great white
clouds of smoke, fitting his chin now
and then to blow a thin white stream
upwards through his teeth and ha1-
closed lips, with an artistic precision
as though the process involved MS
entire and concentrated thought.
II wonder how long it will take, -
spoke the first, holding his glass aloft
to let the light shine through. They
say it kills-this stuff I'm drinking.
Bah! 1t might-a fool. 1t doesn't
even dull my senses. They say a
drunken man is happy. He sings; ne
cries or laughs-and then he sleeps,
like some besotted beast. / cannot do

laughed-yourpwo would 7, have, sworn y 4

His companion paused to flick the
ash from his cigar before replying.

swered. There is a comical side to
everything, even this. A grim humor

Your wife is dead. You want her
