Annie Leonard. the young daughter Of Mr. and Mrs c. K. Clinton, met with what might have been a serious accident one day last week. IL seems that Annie and her little sister had been visiting some little friends in Pattison'S addition, and were returning home at , o'clock in the evening. They crossed the suspension bridge in safety, but when they reached narrow place on the North Clifton road rapidly moving wagon came along with u care less driver. The children made an attempt to get out Of the way. but Annie slipped and fell and was struck by the wagon and badly bruised around the waist. She was picked Uy by d Mexican girl and carried home. A doctor was summoned and after a close examination he found no broken bones. She was badly bruised. and it was hard to determine whether the wheels passed over her or not. The driver was not recognized, and it is said that he did not even stop. Such carelessness should be punished by a heavy fine, and will be if the culprit is found out. This is a warning to care less drivers in Clifton.

The deepest workings gs-frOm the ~urfacc-at the present time in this camp are on the New England-the old Copper King mjne-which is To- cated about four miles from Clifton on the left side of the Frisco. The main shaft on the New England has now reached depth of 800 feet, and a crOes-cut now being run shows l3 feet of good ore on the hanging wall, which is certainly most remarkable showing fog any mine. The width of the vein matter at the 350-foot level was over 10 feet, which showed good ore the entire distance, though not continuous. The width of the vein at the 500 level. and the body and value of the ore across it. yet remains to be tested, as the crOss-cut was only recently started. That good ore will be found Ou the foot wall and also in other parts of the vein is to be eX- pected but if not the present develop mcnt justifies the claim that the New England is one of the mines Of this district. if not of the territory. The fact that this shaft was not sunk on ore has occasioned many unfavora bl 0 comments to be made in regard to the property by the people who knew nothing about it. and who were not in- terestcd. The New England seems to have come in for an unusual amount of "&nockinG' of late. which, a. in other instances, has not occasioned uneasi- ness among stockholders. The large body of good ore uncovered in the New England at its greatest depth means much, not only for the property itself, but the district as well, for it proves that the ores do go down, which iS contrary Io the expressed opinions of some experts, who have cOHtended that the ores were merely surface de- po5itS. The opinion of experts are not highly regarded in this district, where most, if not all. of the best mines have been turned down by them, the same as tbey have been at Bisbec, Jerome and TonOpah. The latter camp. which is today recog- n.zed everywhere as the biggest and greatest camp in the world. was turned down by any number Of experts less than three years ago.

 reports from there are to the effect that the boys have uncovered a body of copper glance 4jO feet deep which averages about - per cent, which

Mr.. Pearson figuring that 1900
gallons per day was all the water
he could drink, and then some.
1t is certainly a boon to the family,
who for SO long was compelled to
drink water hauled in barrels. In
fact. Mr.. Pearson says that should
he strike spade into any old sand
bank and find rich gold ore, it
wouldn't look any better to him than
that constant flow of a barrel Of
water every half hour. and which he
could drink with the dead moral
certainty that it is as pure and
clean as snow flakes from the win
tro skies Belle Fourche Post.
If the parents Of the children who
attend the First ward school had
been present at that school last
Monday afternoon they would have
been more than proud of the pupils
work and bestowed proper credit
upon the efficient teacher, Miss
Marguerite Rich. The afternoon
was principally deyoted to the rem
dering Of a program in which teach
err and pupils shared the credit
alike. The program was made up
Of musical and literary selection $
and the way in which they were
rendered would have done honor to
pupils much older in years. The
program was too long for THE
UNION to mention each number and
give personal credit to those taking
part. Suffice to say that the First
ward pupils, under the able direc-
ton Of Miss Rich, have made won
derful advancement in all lines. A
visit to the school will clearly dem
onstrate this fact and the school
patrons in the First ward are to be
congratulated on the fact that the
present efficient teacher has been
engaged by the board OF education
{ for another years service.
