RICHES OF LOON CREEK.

Messrs. Ruthrauff, Hernsheim,
Walter and Hayes have returned
from a two weeks trip to Loon
creek, says the HALEY Times.
They report great activity in
the new camp and many new
strikes throughout the district.
Copper-gold ore running high in
both metals has been found in
many places at some distance
from the Lost Packer, and in
many places at some distance
from the Lost Packer, and in
one ledge 2,700 feet lower down
on Loon creek ore assaying an
average of S166 a to in gold and
high in copper has been opened,
the ore not being distinguishable
from that of the Packer.
The openings on the Lost
Packer have so far disclosed
over 100000 worth of high
grade ore running over 5000 a
ton in gold, silver and copper.
There is an equal amount of
second grade ore running $15 to
S75 ton gold and 6 per cent
copper. The aplite in which
the ore makes is from 10 to 40
feet thick, and carries 81 a ton
gold in the upper and S12 a ton
in the lower levels. Three levels
have been opened and a fourth
on which the outcrop ran $3.50 a
ton gold is now being driven on
$50 feet below the discovery.
The surface shoot here was
short, but the big shoot is ahead
and is expected to be cut in the
next 100 feet of drifting. From
the discovery to the intermedi-
ate tunnel there is 260 feet of
ore. There is from one to five
feet of rich chalcopyrite in the
main shoot which is estimated
as 300 feet long. One man last
summer broke down the $4,000
worth of shipping ore that was
marketed at Salt Lake. This
ore netted about $3.50 a ton.

MORTUARY.
Margaret Emily Itchy.

Entered into rest on September %,
1904, Margaret Emily, second daughter
Of Ladislaus Edward and Mary Knapp
Itchy, aged y years, 10 months and z
days.
Margaret was much beloved by a wide
circle of friends and relatives, as we'll
as the immediate family, for she was a
girl of loveable character and possessed
those qualities of true nobility and
sweet womanliness which endeared her
to all who knew her. She was an earn
est, conscientious Christian, faithful
member of St. Johns Episcopal church
of this place, and as long as her health
permitted, an interested worker in the
church. She was enthusiastic and am
bilious in her work as teacher, having
successfully taught several terms at tho
Tick Ridge school, where she was a
favorite alike with pupils and parents.
The ruling motive of her life and the
one to which she owed much of her sue
cess, was 10 do we'll whatever she had
to do, thus ennobling the simplest most
trivial duty.
The loss sustained in the now thrice
broken home circle will never be re-
paired, yet she is at rest, and even
those who loved her best could not wish
her here again to suffer. Margaret
spent the summer in the Ozark Mount
aims with her mother, believing she
would be benefited, but on the morning
after her return home she passed peace
fully away. She leaves a mother and
