centers about the suit Of the Badger
Mining company against the Stock.
ton Mining company, final evidence
In which was submitted last week
before a master In chancery at
Portland. A decision Is not ex-
pected for some time, as the case
involves some nice points Of law.
The Badger company seeks to o..
tablish Its right to a half interest In
the Stockton claim. the principal
property of the Stockton company.
The claim adjoins the aide line of
the Badger claim, the vein Of the
latter aud also OF the Bull of the
Woods property cutting through the
Stockton. The Badger company
alleges that IL has purchased the
rights of william Moran, who, sew.
eral years ago, bought a half interest
In the Stockton, Oh the condition
that he was to do certain dvelop.
ment work. The Stockton owners
state that Moran drove u tunnel,
found nothing, and abandoned his
interests, which were later preserved
from lapsing to the government by
IL. IL. Ames, A. }. Simmons aud
associates. II 10 said that the atiida.
Wit Of Moran has been secured by the
Stockton management In defense Of
it's title, while Gu the other hand,
the Badger company exhibits deed
from the same individual.
The Badger, owned by au allied
company to the famous Bunker Hill
aud Sullivan concern OF Occur d.
Alene aud Alaska fame, IL one OF
the best mines In eastern Oregon.
IL 10 developed to u depth OF 700
feet by vertical shaft aud ex-
hautsive drifts, and is equipped
with a 70-ton euncentrator. com
pressor plant aud mine machinery.
II has produced for several years u
remarkably rich grade OF galena
gold ore, and Is said to have on
the 700 foot level the best grade of
ore yet opened In the mine.
While the workings of the badger
we're only to dspht Of 500 feet. the
Stockton management secured an
order OF the federal courts for per.
missiOn to examine the underground
workings. At that time the surveyor
found that the 500 level diff was up
to the Sockton line, but there did not
seem enough evidence for the be-
ginning OF suit. The surveying
party reported that u rich Badger
shoot WAS pitching toward the
Stockton. The last year the Badger
manage ment sank to the 700 level,
where remarkable galena has been
mined. Quickly on this develop.
ment came the report that the com.
pany and bought the old interest OF
Moran aud would esatablish it's title.
This suit IL the result.
Owners of the Stockton express
their belief that the Badger has found
the main shoot pitching into their
ground, aud that this suit IL the
commencement of an effort to get
control OF the adjacent property, 80

THE OTHER FISH IN THE SEA,

a youth who loved a pretty maiden.
And w0rshiped an she wore.
When she refused him. hung his head
And hoPelessly and sadly said:
That he could love no more.
''The world" he walled contains no
other
Whose charms may make me glad;
The skies may never more be fair,
Her like remains not anywhere,
The world Is bleak and sad"
II CHANGED that while his heart was
bleeding
He Travelled far away.
And In a quiet little place
He met a maiden with face
That gladdened all the day
He suddenly forgot the beauty
For whom his heart had yearned,
And sighed 10 win the other maid
Who threw his first love in the shade.
His breast with ardor burned.
But cruel fate was still against him,
once more he was denied.
Then, sitting down, he said: II ne'er
Shall ind another half as fair,
My fondest hopes have died"
In Gods good time he had to travel
To other scenes once more.
And 50 he met a maiden who
By far outshone the other two
That he had loved before.
Most graciously she smiled upon him,
And he at once forgot
His former yearniugs and despair,
He'd found the fairest of the fair
or so. at least. ne thought.
IT'S ever thus; We think the eharmers
We gaze upon to-day
Are all there are beneath the sky,
But they are everywhere. so why
SIT down in hopelessness to sigh?
From Bath to Monterey
From distant Toxic TO Troy.
From Adelaide to Perth Amboy
Are ladies who can sti,l destroy
our hopes or lift US up TO Joy
When we are turned away.
