MINE THIS WEEK.
Old Contract Completed Yesterday,
Carrying Workings to Depth of
W Hundred Feet and Several
Hundred Feet Of Drifting-Ore to
Be Sent to the Smelter.

Mr.. and Mrs. f. p. Baker are in from
Leslie and will remain a few days.
Mr.. Baker has just completed the con.
tract for sinking on the Strong mine
and is here to accept a new contract
for 100 feet further in depth and con-
siderable drifting and cross cutting.
The accounts between the Strong Cop
per Mining company and Mr.. Baker,
the contractor. were gone over this
morning at the office of DR.. Swigart.
the general manager of the company.
The present contract included sink
ing ninety feet in depth in the shaft
and drifting to the south and west for
twenty-five feet. The shaft is now
down 200 feet, it having reached a
depth of 10 feet when Mr.. Baker ac-
cepted the contract. The last shot
was made yesterday, and Mr.. Baker
says the best ore yet found in the
mine was in that shot. This vas at
the 2OO-foot level. At the 1O0-foot lev
ell the drift showed ore running over
and silver.
Arrangements are now being made
to load two ears of the ore from the
dump at the Strong for shipment eth
err to Denver or TO some other smelter
and determine thereby the richness of
the ore. Care is being taken. Mr.. Bak-
err says, to have this shipment repre-
sent as fairly as possible the exact ma
ture of the ore. About fifty tons will
be hauled to the railroad and loaded,
so that the smelter will determine
practically the amount of copper and
other metals contained therein.
Mrs. w. French and Mr.. G. w. Penn
are also in from the Strong mine.

The Orado mine. owned exclusively
by women, and believed to be an ex-
tension OF the vein of the Strong mine,
is showing up well yet. the sinking hav,
ing reached a depth of twenty feet in
the shaft.

In winter when the nights are long,

My heart is light, my love is strong
For books, near friends that never tire,
In winter, when the nights are long.
1 read from eve till midnight comes;
1 stir my soul with history;
Ny spirit then with heroes roams;
1 quaff of poets mystery
From out the worn beloved tones.
In winter when the nights are long,
When lamp burns bright, and fire
burns low,
1 hear again full many a song,
And voices out Of the long ago,
In winter. when the nights are long.

Before the glow l sit and dream.
Your music casts DER me its spell,

Grateful Recognition.

1t is an old saying among railroad
men that they know when everything
is going along all right from the mere
fact that no complaints are received.
They do not expect and rarely receive
praise from the public they serve, but
they are pretty certain to hear of it
when things go wrong. 1t must there
fore have been very gratifying to our
Southern Pacific friends when the pas
senger department in this city received
the following resolution, dated Sacra-
mento, February IS, voted for and
signed by every passenger on the train
that had been detained by the washouts
south of Ashland:
BE it resolved by the passengers on
the extra late No. Is train from Ash
land to San Francisco. that it is the
unanimous opinion of all passengers
that they have been treated with ex-
ceeding good courtesy and the best pos
sible service by all officials, conductors
and trainmen, and we especially thank
Pullman Conductor L. P. Bradley for
his kind and efficient care and atten-
tion during the entire trip, and espe-
cially on account of the consideration
of the company to the travelling public
during the delay caused by landslides,
washouts, etc, of this special trip"

They were evidently from up in the
valley-that old man with the long
linen duster and the bright-eyed lit
tie chap who sat by his side upon the
deck of the ferry-boat. This was OBJ
viously the first trip to the city which
either of the twain had ever enjoyed,
though the old gentleman tried to look
unconcerned.
AS the boat slipped swiftly past
Goat Island the sharp eyes of the
youngster spied the big red buOys
which were scattered about the dock
near the lighthouse.

don't raise them so big as that back

The old man put on a wise look while
he stroked his gray whiskers reflect
lively. "Y'see, them is the life-savin'
contraptions which they carries on the
decks of steamboats,. If the boat gets
wrecked out in the ocean the passen-
gers throw them over into the sea and
clings to them until they is picked up.

The Prize Burglar,


A Paris paper takes note OF re-
markabIe type of criminal in the fol-
lowing article:
Laurent Delarue, a criminal, who
robbed on so large scale and with
such method and resources as to win
for himself the title of King of the
Burglars was brought up for trial
to-day before the Seine-et-Oise Court,
charged with a large number OF
thefts in various parts of the coun-
try.
"DeIarue graduated in his profess
sion by a systematic course of educa-
ton, working for some years as a safe
maker and afterward as a lOcksmith
Having thus acquired much valuable
technical knowledge, he took up his
quarters at Sartrouville, a village ten
miles from Paris, and raided houses
in every direction. Some 500 or 500
robberies are put down to him and
over 1900 witnesses can be called IL
necessary.
"One night he broke into a small
railway station near Dieppe, wrenched
away the little safe from it's fastenings,
and, hosting it on his shoulders, pro-
ceeded to a neighbOring field to break
open and Tansack it at his leisure.
"A villager who caught sight of him
from his window called upon him TO
stop, but Delarue paid no heed to him.
Thereupon the peasant fetched his gun
and fired both barrels at the rObber.
The bullets, however. flattened them
selves against the safe, and Delarue.
dropping his burden, made for the
railway station at Auppray, which he

vent perfect agility, he would bore
away at an opponent enveloping him
in "a Veritable shower Of blows, yet al
most never leaving himself open to
counter attack.
Quickness, fncessant motion, good
balance. accuracy. impetus and a brain
unconfused are the chief requisites for
rushing. The man who rushes blind
ly, swinging his arms like fails, and
who thinks that is boxing, is sadly
mistaken and usually pays dearly for
Inc blunder.
In rushing more than at any other
time a man needs all his GOODNESS and
skill. For he is counting attack and
he cannot hope TO be as thoroughly
protected as when he is on the defen-
sive.
When 4 man rushes you keep cool;
guard, sides1ep and when necessary
give ground. But always be on the
lookout for an opening; never let the
assailant get you going by rushing
you of your feet. Remember that
when he is attacking the advantage
rests with you as long as you can
spy out and take advantage Of all
openings and as long as your footwork
is clever enough to keep you out of
harms way.
