Hin--Di5appeaIsd hdi 10

A special fom Meadows of the End
inst. says: The dead body of Ger
hardt Behrens, the old-time mine and
prospector who disappeared fom his
cabin on Secesh Meadows March 16,
was found by a searching party on
April 20, and buried near the place
where he had lived for nearly 10
wears, alone, working his placer
claim during the summer months.
The news of the finding of the body
has just been brought to Meadows by
Enos Smith, the Warren Resort mail
carrier.
At the time Behrens' disappear
ance was first known snow had
lust fallen to the depth of 1S inches
and all efforts to find the body proved
futile.
The body was found at the head OF
his ditch, some two and one-hali
miles from the cabin, where he hac
gone for some purpose, and undoubt
edlv becoming exhausted sat or la!
down to rest as his snow shoes wer'
removed and lay along side the body
which was lying on the edge OF tn
ditch with the head in the water.
Behrens was a German, about q
years of age, and very eccentrl
character.

State Mine Inspector Bell has just
from hard trip in Che Sew
en- Devils country, and the headwat-
ers of Rapid river, including Black
lake and Iron springs camps. Mr..
Bell reports considerable we'll
packed snow still remaining in
that part of the safe above an eleva-
tion of 5000 feet. The last IA
miles of his journey from Placer
basin to Iron springs was over deep
snow and necessitated ow-shoeing.
On the return trip the snow was frozen
as hard as a rock and made good
travelling. Mr.. Bell says that the
Iron Springs Consolidated company
has worked about 35 men all winter
and the Gold Coin company at Black
lake about 40 men. The forces at
both places have been temporarily
reduced pending the opening of the
roads, but considerable force is re-
tanned at both mines on development
work.
A very successful run was recently
interrupted at the Gold Coin com
papy's mill at the lake by an acci.
dent to the crusher, through which
heavy casting was broken that cannot
be replaced until the roads are open
This is cyanide plant of 100 toni
capacity and was very successfully
operated during the winter. The ore
from this company's mines rum
from $50 to $4,000 per ton ant
consists of a shattered, oxidizeC
quartz from their Summit vein ant
partly oxidized and massive pyriti
ore from their Maid of Erin vein.
The ore after passing through tn
rock breaker, is reduced by two set
of plain rollers to about 16 mes
size. as it comes from the mine, an
is leached for about 4S hours. Th
extraction is 93 per cent of the groi
values of the ores.
The company has two splendi
fissure veins, we'll opened and
large amount of ore in sight. The
have started drainage tunnel tn
will, when completed, greatly faci
itate the mining of ore.

Neither are they issued to cover

the merest guess, entirely without

The Rocky Mountain Bell Tele

for its public spirit in thus enabling
the people of the state to participate
in the benefits to be derived from the
work of the Weather Bureau.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 3d. For

While there are few who have not
yet signed, the association regards
the matter as small impeachment in
the way of the project. They feel
certain that an amicable settlement
will be reached with the company.
Those signing with the government
project will be given credit with the
project to the amount OF the value of
their ditch rights, which seems to be
generally perfectly satisfactory. The

Another obstacle is the rights of
the Corvallis Railroad company ac-
quired three years ago through the
Malheur canyon, the proposed seat of
the government reservoir. This rail-
road made the survey number of
years ago and was about to forfeit its
rights when three years ago it made
a new survey and obtained an extern
sion from the government of five
years. Two years still remain unex-
pired under the rights thus acquired.

rooms for pleasure and the more sem
sational the cases the greater the
pleasure. Fancy spending a llfc like
that!
A parasraph in an obscure corner OF
a. newspaper claimed my attention one
day 1t told OF a code Of signals in
vented by the salesgirl to save their
time and strength. a legitimate saving
that benefited honest patrons. Expert
ence had made them familiar with a
class of women who had cultivated
practice Of going from shop to shop to
look at articles. They rarely bought
anything and never, at any time, were
able to afford hundreds Of articles at
which they looked in the leisurely FASH
ion of those who do buy after a careful
inspection. The care of stock is the
hardest feature of a saleswoman's life,
it Is said and the extra work Of show
ing goods which had no chance OF be-
ing sold was something with which to
reckon.
This class OF women stands in dan
ger OF being snubbed as it deserves, but
all quite courteously, to give no cause
for complaint. They are responsible
for the difficulty others find in obtain
ing much-needed samples, so few
would care II the courtesy was lack
ding. A friend told me, one day, OF the
knowledge her neighbor had of the
smallest caprices of fashion through a
daily inspection of the shops. Well,
there is no harm in that, because deal
ers want to attract attention and spend
money generously to make tempting
displays. But to compel a man or wo-
man to pull down a neat structure OF
boxes to show materials which you
know you will never buy is to rob their
employers, for time, in a large estab-
/ lishment, is never wasted.

While the kingdom OF God is not an

Wisdom,s Whispers

Many a man likes to create the idea
that at one time in life they were just
too awfully wicked for anything.
There are some secrets which women
hold to under all circumstances.
A man mellowing under loves infiu-
ence really is a beautiful picture.
Women seek for bargains Just as nat
urally as men do for tobacco.
The average man gives a woman the
laugh every time she attempts tc
evolve a new idea.
a womanis intellect rarely reaches
the sublime height she thinks it does
Tell a man he has business shrewd-
ness and he at once Over-neaches him.

A woman who wants to be economical
has queer way of going about it.
