CROWD WAS A LARGE ONE.
At Methodist Revival Meeting Las,
Nioht

The largest crowd of a weekday night
appeared at the First Methodist church

sermon on the Rebellion of Men Against
Law. He was in his best form last
night and the influence of his words could
be noticed in all parts of the house. He
speaks to the point and with much force,
There We're number of conversions and
many asked for PRAYERS.

GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Baker Will Join Us-Details
Being Rapidly Perfected.

Details for the Fourth of July
celebration are being rapidly
perfected, aud the financial com
mittee il meeting with liberal
response in the way of subscriptions.
Over $1,000 has been raised and 1t
is estimated that $500 more will yet
he contributed to the fund. Baker
City will take part in the gala
occasion aud furnish substantial
prizes. The deleg alton from the
sister city will come headed by the
White Swan hand, and join In the
spirit of the sports. There Is to be
u hreman's contest between Baker
City and Sumpter, drilling contests
and various other events.
DIR. Hoppe, we'll known as a
eloquent and forceful public speaker
will deliver the Grafton. Other
speakers are expected. The festivi-
ties will begin on the 3rd. The
single handed and junior drilling
contests will probably take place on
this day. Details as to program
have not been arranged. Mayor Nc
Colloch will be marshal of the day.
4 big W. q. W. demonstration
will be among the features. The
camps aud circles from Baker,
Huntington, Haines, Wingville and
other points will visit the local camp
and about 100 candidates will be
initiated, besides competition drills
in the ritualistic work aud military
tactics. This aud the other fraternal
orders will join in the parade.
In last weeks mention the name
of Walter Cronin was inadverte ntly
omitted from the list of committees.
Mr.. Cronin has the music aud dance

upon that this feature along with
the rest will he success.

reserves are do not care to 60 on
record, but Mr.. Killen told me
that he believed there is no question
but that there IL over half million
dollars already blocked out. He
stated that before his company took
hold of the consolidation IL figured
with the original owners Oh what
could he reasonably expected in the
way of ore reserves. The length of
the ore blocked out in the tunnels
was multiplied by the height, the
width of the vein as given by the
owners, divided by two, the
average values down to 80 ton
and still there was 81, 900, 900 in
sight. Mr.. Killen pracetiously
remarked that he threw away $780,
900, divided the remainder by two
and then thought he was justified in
saying there was $500, 900 in sight.
The estimate Is most certainly very
conservative. Yes, our people will
take very large block of the stock
and will be glad to get it,"
The party left Sunday for home,

HIGHLAND ORE.
Big Chunk From Glasgow

Hotel Sumpter.

A large chunk Of gold sulphide
ore weighing $50 pounds was sent
In by the miners at the Highland q
day or 80 ago to Neil j. Sorensen

the Hotel Sumpter lobby. 1t Is
needless to state that the big piece
Ia the admiration of mining men,
and Is attracting great deal Of
attention. The sample was taken from
the face of the drift In the Glasgow
crosscut and carries heavy gold
values.
A smaller sample of the simi-
lar ore from this body assayed

LAST PAYMENT
ON Gypsy QUEEN.
Boston People Make Good On
This Cable Cove Property.

The last payment has been made on
the Gipsy Queen mine, in the Cable
Coeev district. This was done
Saturday through the Bank of
Sumpter, A. p. Goss acting for the
Boston people who bought the
property. Messrs. Rummery, Barth-
off, Otness Isaacs, DIETRICH and
perhaps one or two others we're the
original owners and to them we're
paid the money.
This property was purchased by a
Boston syndicate about three years
ago, through W. II. w. Hamilton,
and has been hanging fire, for one
reason and another ever since.
Last fall payment was defaulted,
which Mr.. Hamilton paid himself
and took up the bond. 1t is
understood that the Boston people
have "gotten together" finally,
bought out lIamilton's interest and
will develop the mine.
II is uunquestionably II valuable
one, the ores assaying higher than
any other ledge In the Cable Cove
district, which averages so far about
five feet in width. About 900 feet
Of tunnel has been driven, skipping
along on top of the ore shoot, which
Is low down under IA heavy wash.

All day we followed the trail that
wound along the shoulders Of the round

and there the valleys were cut through
by coulees through which ran swift
blue gray rivers, clear and Icy cold,
while from the hilltops we caught
glimpses Of little lakes covered with
wild fowl that shrieked and squawked
and splashed, careless Of danger. Now
and then we saw what made a black
spot against the green of the prairie,

CHAPTER II.
THE COMPANY OF THE NOBLE SEVEN.

Is we were dismounting the
IAI cries, "Hello, Jack" How do,

S&$Y the heartiest Of tones made
me see that my cousin was favorite
with the men grouped about the door.

then presented me in due form. my

said, with flourish. I was surprised
at the grace f the bows made me by
these roughly dressed, wild looking fel-
lows. ht have been In London
drawing Nm. l was put at my ease
at once by the kindliness Of their greet
ing, FOR. upon Jacks Introduction, I
was sHdmitted at once into their circle,
which, to a tenderfoot was usually
closed.
What hardy looking lot they were!
Brown, SPARE, sinewy and hard as
nails. they appeared like soldiers back
from a hard campaign. They moved
and spoke with an easy, careless air
Of almost lazy indifference. but their
eyes had a trick of looking straight at
you. cool and fearless. and you felt
they were fit and ready.
That night l was initiated into the
Company of the Noble Seven-but Of
the ceremony / regret to say / retain
but an indistinct memory; for they
drank as they rode, hard and long,
and it was only Jacks care that got
me safely home that night.
The Company Of the Noble Seven
was the dominant social force in the
Swan Greek country. Indeed, 1t was
the only social force Swan Creek
knew. Originally consisting of seven
young fellows of the best blood Of
Britain, banded together for purposes
of mutual improvement and social en-
joyment," it lad changed it's character
during the years, but not Its name.
First, its membership was extended to
include approved colonials," such as
Jack Dale and "others Of kindred spir-
it," under which head, suppose, the
two cowboys from the Ashley ranch,
Hi kendall and Bronco Bill-no one
knew and no one asked his other
name-were admitted. Then its pur-
poses gradually limited themselves to
those of social nature, chiefly IN the
line of poker playing and whisky
drinking. Well born and delicately
bred in that atmosphere Of culture
mingled with sturdy common sense
and a certain high chivalry which sur
rounds the stately homes Of Britain,
these young lads, freed from the re-
straints of custom and surrounding,
soon shed all that was superficial In
their make up and stood forth in the
naked simplicity Of their native man
hood. The west discovered and re-
vealed the man in them. sometimes to
their honor, often to their shame.
The chief Of the Company was the
Hon. Fred Ashley Of the Ashley ranch,
some time of Ashley Court, England-s
big good natured man with a magnih-
cent physique, good income from
home and a beautiful wife. the Lady
Charlotte, daughter Of a noble English
family. At the Ashley ranch the tradi-
tons of Ashley Court were preserved as
far as possible. The Hon. Fred ap-
peared Mt the wolf hunts in riding
breeches and top boots, with hunting
crop and English saddle, while in all
the appointments of the house the GUS
toms of the English home were OBJ
served. 1t was characteristic, however,
of western life that his two cowboys

GLOOM AT BILTMoRE.
Mr.. Vanderbilt Departs and Activity
Ceases.
TO BE CONTINUED.

Ceases.
This has been an eventful, not to say
melancholy, day on the Vanderbilt es-
tate, says an Asheville dispatch Of Oc-
tober 8 to the Charlotte Observer. 1t
has witnessed the cessation Of activity
everywhere, and the subsequent de-
parture Of the lord Of the manor
who, as heretofore stated, will remain
abroad for a year or more. Mr.. Van
derbilt left his private car Swannanoa
for the reason, it was stated that every
time Swannanoa was attached to a
regular passenger train. bound for New
York, it meant cash outlay equiVa-
lent to eighteen fares. Several times
of late Mr. Vanderbilt has economized
by taking a section in a Pullman.
While gloom pervades various
branches of the estate, the day really
brought it's compensations to even
those who will have to seek employ
ment elsewhere for time. To some
Mr.. Vanderbilt uttered kind words on
the eve Of his departure, and, after
saying to them: Thou good and
faithful servant" assured them he
would again take pleasure IN glVlng
them employment should they care
to return later. 1t was stated by a
gentleman conversant with estate af-
fairs that Mr.. Vanderbilt had received
letter from D. o. Champlain, until
recently the cashier at the office, ask
ing reinstatement, but that Mr.. van
derbilt had left without answering the
communication. The letter will be an
sWered in day or so by Mr.. Harding.
MIR. Champlain has placed In Mr.
Harding's hands deed in trust for
property at Black Mountain, valued at
$4,000. 1t was said by representative
of Mr.. Vanderbilt that an examination
of the books had disclosed the fact
that Mr.. Champlain was due the es-
tate $4,000, and the deed was given
to insure Mr.. Vanderbilt against pos
sible loss, occasioned," the gentleman
softly concluded, "by the infraction OF
the rules of the office"
1t has transpired that new system
of bookkeeping, and new method OF
paying the men off have been adopted
to obviate the possibility of the rules
of the office being violated" in the
future. The men will be asked to as
semble at a given point on pay day
and, as they form an unbroken line OF
smiling expectancy, the envelopes will
be handed to each man, who will call
out the time put in and the amount
paid therefore. Some Of the men, 1t
was said, do not take kindly to this
measure. but it is contended that this
will render 1t impossible to create any
more dummy pay-rolls.
