BERMUDA MAlDENS.
The Reason So Many Of Them Decide
to Remain Unmarried.

to Remain Unmarried.
In proportion to population there are
more old maids in the Bermudas than
in any other part of the world. This
is true of all classes of the population
but especially of the oldest and wealth
lest families, who have been connected
with the islands ever since they were
colonized by the Virginia company in
E12.
Five out of six of the daughters of
the old planting families do not marry
IN spite of the fact that they are pref
ty, with a delicate rose flush type of
beauty. extremely we'll bred and ac-
complished and just as nice as girls
can possibly be. Their failure to mar
ry is standing source of wonder to
the whole of the West Indies.
An antiquated law is undoubtedly
responsible in part for this state of
things. BY this law provision is made
for the daughters to take shares of a
landed estate when their father dies,
but If one marries she loses her for
tune. 1t is taken away and shared
among the others. Under this law
many girl of the better class is
robbed of the dowry which is rightful-
~ hers. Sometimes she will not marry
her sweetheart at the cost of her for
tune; sometimes the mercenary swain
will not marry her if she has nothing
to bring him but herself.

Too Much DEVELOPMENT.

Excessive muscular development is
pronounced by an experienced physi-
clan to be not only unnecessary, but
positively dangerous. On ceasing ath-
letic training, which every person must
do sooner or later, the system adapts
itself very slowly to new conditions,
and digestive and liver troubles are
very liable to follow. The great lungs,
not needed in sedentary work, degener.

Will Dance Till News Year Morr.

The Idaho Springs fire laddies will give
their annual ball on New Years eve. Zen
Potter, John Edwards and Peter Holzer,
the executive committee. are at work
and determined upon making this the
crowning event of the years festivities.
The past year has been very fortunate
one for this city, there having been no
serious couhagrations. This fact is largely
dne to the activity aud ceaseless vigil
ance Of the chief engineer and the mer-
bers of the different companies. The
excellence of the Idaho Springs fire de-
partment is we'll established, and our
citizens depend upon that noble band of
volunteers for the safety of the city, who
labor without other recompense than the
consciousness of duty. II is with pleas
ure that every citizen and property owner
of the city aids each year in making the
fire boys dance an unqualified aud un-
aui,nous success. 1t is such things as
these that speak louder than words, and
keep up the enthusiasm of the members
of the different companies.

Activity on Upper Fall River.

r. p. Milne, who for several months
other members of group of seven lodes
in which he is interested, has come down
for the holiday festivities. He reports
considerable activity in his immediate
neighborhood. T.. r. wilkins of this
city is associated with Mr.. Milne in the
group spoken of, as well as in the two
mill sites. water power and a crosscut
tunnel site. The principal development
work so far has been done upon the Wave
NJ. consisting of an adit $50 feet long
and a shaft farther up the hill. This shaft
has produced some very fine ore, return
ing as high as $3.50 to the ton in gold
silver and lead. The hanging wall streak
is three and one-half feet wide and the
foot wal. two and one-half mill te' of
the whole showing values ranging from
$50 to $40 per ton. Crosscutting In the
,so-ft. adit shows Io1z feet in width Of
iniueralized vein material of values rang
ing from 81 to SIS per ton. BY extending
this adit 40 feet the ore shoot of tie
shaft will be reached attaining a depth
of 40 feet. The crosscut tunnel. which
has been started to interseet all of the
claims in the group, will cut the same
pocket 500 feet deep. The Wave ". ad-
joins the National Bank, an early pat
ented claim, belonging to the Robert o.
Olds estate, and which years ago was a
prominent producer, the ore returning as
high as $500 per ton.

Opera House Opening.

Amusement lovers were most agreeabiy
surprised at the appearance of the opera
house Monday night, at its opening per-
formance since it has undergone an entire
change, and Proprietor Lueders is to be
highly commended for his enterprise in
giving to this city such a complete play
house. Aside from increasing the stage
room so as to accommodate more pretent-
ious attractions than usually have visited
this place, the entire interior has received
finishing touches that greatly add to tn c
beauty as we'll as the comfort of the pat
rons.
Manager Dutton is in charge of the
executive business, and has most able
assistant in Mr.. Will Camplin as stage
carpenter and electrician. Mr.. Camplin
was employed for number of years in
the Tabor Grand at Denver, and is thor
oughly familiar with all stage work, and
a most valuable man to look after the
proper production of all plays. D. S.
Barnes is head Ay-man and John Camp
lin is in charge Of properties. With this
corps of artists in charge of amusements,

Has Gone Back East.

X. W. Mckenzie left last Saturday fer
Boston and Canadian points, TO be gone
for some time. He goes partly in the
interest of his extensive mining holdings
partly on a visit TO his old home in Nova
Scotia He took some very fiue ore with
him from his Pcorman mine, and we
should not be surprised 10 learn that he
will return prepared TO operate the same
on a large scale. He and his brother
during the past few years have done
much for the Freeland district in the
way of enlisting capital. They have
gathered in some of the best claims in
that section and are on the high road TO
wealth. Two propositions. the Beresforn
and Coronation groups. are being worked
liy tunnel, and the Poorman will probab-
ly be next to follow. The last named
od-iookers. The Poorman is the best
known, having done considerable ship
ping and the workings being the moet
extensive. Ii lies between the Brazil on
the west aud the Castle Rock on the east,
the entire section being strongly mineral
IL d. There is every indication that
there is the making in that belt Of veins
one of the strong shippers of high-grade
ore for which the vicinity is famed.

Big Ore IN the Matte.

The Little Matte mine this week sent
down 1000 pounds. or over eight tons of
ore, that ran at the rate o. $266.,S per
ton. The net returns amounted to a very
nice Christmas present for thr company
.-$2IS2. The assays showed as follows
9 90 ozs gold, 1880 ozs. silver and 1918
per cent. lead. This ore. we understand,
came from the recent strike in the prop
erty, and gives some idea of the value of
the find. This ore, we can state is moth
ing unusual for that prolific producer as
in the years gone by high-grade ore was
the usual thing.
In addition to the first-class. three lots
of secoudclass from the same pocket,
aggregatiug 50 tons, of total value a
trifle in excess of the first. class, were
milled.
The total cost of takiug out this ore did
not exceed $3.50.
The present operators of the property
are to be congratulated for the persistence
they have shown in carefully opening up
the mine and for the reward that they
are beginning to reap.
The Matte group in its entirety will
compare with any proposition that we
know of IN the district, and as develop
ment proceeds this fact will be clearly
demonstrated. The Matte alone has
been a large producer. and in connect
ion with the Great Republican, Decatur,
Newton and other claims should excel
her past reputation.

High School Not,S

Several of the young ladies OF tie
chemistry class have been decorating
heir fingers with nitric acid. This does
not particularly add to their attractions.
Mr.. Potter intended to finish his series
OF talks ON "Meanders with Shakespt ar.'s
Plays as Guide Book" this week, and ON
Thursday morning he talked upon tie
tragedy Of Macbeth. While he was re-
vealing some of the dark spots of the
tragedy message was handed him and
he had to leave the assembly room.
Mr.. Halls faculties as a story telle r are
still in doubt. Altho igh he has often
threatened to tell the chemistry class a
snake story, he. for some unknown rea-
son, has always RETAINED. 1t is need
less TO say that the curiosity of the refi-
bers of that class is thoroughly aroused
and various ideas have been advanced -
to what this snake story is like. Like
the basket ball championship, it is
thing of the near future.
The absence. owing to illness, of Misses
Katherine Mckinley and Bella Weiuber-
ger on Wedne sday and Thursday of this

features to be looked after in public

Birkins stated that the ground for the
hotel would be donated, the railroad con.
pany would bring in the construction

would be subscribed by local capitalists.
Without putting it to a vote. the matter
vas deferred until full meeting of the
members was had.
