Cut Rich Stringer at Gladstone
Last Week.

W. II. Mead, superintendent Of the
Gladstone, near Bonanza, states that
his crosscut tunnel is now in 355 feet
and that indications point to the near
approach to the vein. Last week par
allel stringer, eighteen inches wide and
carr! ing good values, was cut just as the
contract was completed. Mr.. Mead has
let another contract and expects to en-
counter the ledge within twenty or
twenty-five feet.
The ore is very similar in character to
that Of the Bonanza, and Mr.. Mead
thinks beyond question the property has

Joe Miller, who works the day

accomplishments as high class
mixer of temperance beverages, Is
perhaps one of the most celebrated
mining experts In the district.
Sometimes, however, II would seem
that in describing property he
gets his terms little mixed with
other Ingredients, but he usually
arrives with the goods. Here Is the
way he discoursed to an audience
lined up against the mahogany con-
cerning recent strike:
"Have you heard Of the strike
made few days ago at the Wild
Cat Consolidated? No? Well,
gentlemen, II IL the most celebrated
which has ever been made in the
district, and no mistake. am re-
liably Informed that body Of ore
was encountered on the $4,000 foot
level while an upraise was being
sunk to the vsnners, which showed
some Of the most remarkable values
ever heard Of. The rock Is q con-
Rlomeration Of ryolite, condalite,
issreslite, and you may not credit 1t,
but I am told that there was alfalfa
creeping out at the crevices. The
assay values 60 high In pyrites Of

expects within the next few shots to
break into the epiglottis on the east
wall Of the lumbar vertebrse. It's

investors who have visited the Sumpter

the individual known as u sucker. In

RESPIRATION FOR THE WRITING OF BEN HUR

Few people know that it was the
famous agnostic, Robert G. Ingersoll,
who caused the writing or the novel,
ben Hur,'' the stage version of which
has created an absolute sensation, not
only in this country, but in England
and Australia 1t came about through
chance meeting of the two famous
men in a railroad journey, when Chris
tianity became subject of their talk.
General Wallace had always been a
man of strong religious inclination,
indeed his splendid description of the
appearance of the Star of Bethlehem
to the wise men of the desert had
been written before this chance ac-
Quaintance.
The arguments and claims of the
great infidel were too much for the
doughty general. His senses were
charmed with the eloquence and po-
etical presentation of the causes of
