Ebenezer Gray

He thought he was a Christian
Did old Ebenezer Gray.
He never missed a meeting,
And was always glad to pray.
He did not let religion
Hurt his business through the week,
But every Sunday morning
He was righteouslike and meek
lie used to have a manner
Thatwould make clown feel"blue,"
He used to chill his neighbors,
And his home was chilly, too.
But in the church on Sunday
You could never find him late.
And when it come to roofing
For religion-he was great.
lie used to skin all cOmers
Through the week-and liked the
game;
Yet claimed to run his business
In the Masters holy name.
He never let the doctrine
Used on Sunday-understand--
Affect, upon a week day,
Any deal he had on hand.
Some people called him "brother, "
And great numbers called him
names
The latter people being
Those who fathomed all his aims.
He died in proper season
Crossed unto another shore
And this is what st. Peter
Told the fellow at the door.
While you were good on Sundays,
Through the week, Eb, you were
tough:
SO, when ! speak your sentence,
DO mol think that | am rough.
Now you can spend your Sundays
Here in Heaven very we'll.
But week days, Ebenezer,
We wall have to give you hell"

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Lively Trading in Low Priced Stocks
-Carisa Puzzles the Talent.

Trading on the mining exchange yester-
day brought out 101, 655 shares Of stock,
which sold for S41,744.75. figures indicat-
ing that the little fellows held sway.
Carisa was something Of an enigma to the
talent. the price jumping and dropping with
a suddenness that was altogether bewil-
derng. After opening at SIC, it fell to 55c,
and then shot up to &c. During the open
board call in the morning it was selling
in one breath at Coo and in the next at
soc, while the closing sale of the day was
at SIC, It's going higher. Scottish Chief
also looked good to those who had got
in at &c and &C a share. as the low price
for board lot was 1612c. Columbus Con-
solidated was stronger, and so was Little
Chief, New York, Victor Consolidated,
Uncle Sam and some Of the others. Uncle
Sam is selling for more than it was before
the announcement was made that the Oc-
tober dividend would be passed and the
ways contend that if another month goes
by without distribution the stock will
go to soc.
Following is the list of final quotations
and record of sales made during the two
regular and open board calls:

the Frenchman shaft. Here the over
burden was removed with a steam
shovel and the ore body was found TO
be 700 feet long and 175 feet wide, ap-
prOximately. The "glory hole" system
of mining has been inaugurated here
and, with the aid of the mammoth
steam shovel, this ore is being broken
in tiers around the shaft and dropped
through to the tunnel level and sent to
the mill. All of the ore now being con-
Centrated, with the exception of that

workings. the mill handling approx
mately 500 tons a day. This ore is in
creasing in value all the time as depth
is attained in the "glory hole" and
this system of handling the rock will
be continued to the 300 or 400-fOot level
when the rest of it, down to the tun-
mel, will be mined from underneath. If

Newest Source of Wealth.

The development OF the newest ore
body had scarcely begun when Mr..
Newhouse left for Europe. just before
the Fourth of July. Consequently he
knew nothing about il more than the
information that reached him from time
10 time from General Manager Lafay-
cite Hanchett. Upon his return from
camp yesterday morning Mr.. New
house said:
ION the fourth level a cross-cut has
penetrated this new ore-bearing chan
mel for a distance of 170 feet, all the
way in first-class concentrating ore,
with nothing yet to indicate what the
width on this level will prove to be.
ION the fifth level the ore body has
been cross-cut for 225 feet, with the
drift still in ore and no signs of the
opposite wall. The quality is just the
same as on the fourth level.
"On the tunnel, or No. level, the
cross-cut has been sent into the ore
body forty feet and, as in the case of
the upper levels. it is being driven right
ahead in the ore. In advancing the
tunnel level In this new part of the
mine we have been encountering ores
OF sensational value, but as I do not
hope to see these rich streaks or shoots
continue, as does the regular grade,
there is nothing to be gained in giving
the assays.
mond drill hole has been put down 259
feet in precisely the same character of
ore as that found above, and there is
no telling how much deeper the shoot or
deposit will go. / would rather not
talk about the average values contained
in this tremendous body of ore at this
time. but I Will say that it is 100 per
cent better than the average of the
ores developed i'm the northern or old
portion of the mine.
"I can say. also, that the mill is do
ing splendid work. 1t is treating about
500 tons of ore per day. and the extrac-
ton is averaging So per cent. Better
concentrates are being made than at
any time in the history OF the mines.
