ioting the erection of a stamp mill to
handle its valuable ores, but has held
hack awaiting the arrival of water,
which is to be piped from East noun
to;n It does not have to wait long,
however, for at the bottom of the shaft
On Lease No. IA of its Union No. 8
claim water in great abundance has
been encountered.
The owners of this lease have been
drifting on their veins and blocking out
the high grade ore, and a short time
AGO began sinking their shaft to a
Greater depth. At 1870 feet a large
Aow of water was struck, and it is be-
Ieved enough can be obtained to keep
the mill running continuously.
LITTLE GRAY.
The Raycraft lease on the Little
GRAY is making good Roadway, and it
il claimed enough ore is already blocked
out to keep a 20-stamp mill running
continuously for two years. The
largest vein is from eight to twelve
feet in width and will average $40 per
ton in gold.
A stringer of very rich ore was en-
countered on the Mustang Extension a
few days ago, and some very fine free
gold specimens have been taken out.
This vein is about one foot in width,
but shows marked signs of widening
with depth.

The Manhattan Butler mining COM
pany has recently been Incorporated,
and is at present busily engaged de.
veloping its sixty-four claims at NORTH

countered it at adeptho of rs feet and the
Cowboy mining company at go feet.
These properties are blocking out the
ore and hunting for the rich pay shoot
in the large vein.

The hoist of the April Fool claim of
the Seyler-H HUMPHREY company has ar
rived and is now being set up, prepare
tory to extensive operations. Adjoin-
ing this wonderful property is the Man
haitian Standard company, which is also

ore from the depths.
The Manhattan Consolidated and

The Manhattan Mother Lode company
is about to let another 10O-foot contract
in their tunnel to further open up the
ore bodies which have been traced into
their holdings.

A London scientist says that life
in metropolis makes young children
sharp but not clever; that 1t often de-
stroys their chance OF ever being
clever. for 1t hastens the develop
ment of the brain unnaturally; Il
makes them superficial, alert, but
not observant; excitable. but with
out one spark of enthusiasm; they
are apt to grow blase, tickle, dlscon-
tented; they see ethings than
the country-bred but not such inter
esting things; they do not proper ly
see anything, for they have neither
the time nor capacity to get at the
root of all the bewildering objects
that crowd themselves into their lit.
/ tie lives.

JUST AN
INNOVATION

Down goes the Daily Lea
der to
$1.OO A YEAR
To all country subscribers Of
the Weekly Free Press who
will pay their subscription.
We do this to increase our
subscription list as rapidly
as possible.
We do this for the benefit
of our advertisers and to run
our daily subscription up to
1000
That is decidedly the larg-
est daily circulation of any
newspaper ever published
in Bluefield, and at the rate
our city circulation is in
creasing, we shall be up to
the 5000 mark within the
next thirty days.
Now watch us grow, and
watch the city OF Bluefield
grow with us.
We appeal to the people
to help, and we will give
them a better newspaper rs
we grow.
We will soon have our rul-
ing machine and have al
lr.;dy negotiated for a Cox
Duplex Press that folds,
cuts, and delivers 3, 900
sheets per hour.
We feel that this arrange
ment will please the readers
of the old Weekly Free
Press, which the Leader
Publishing Company pur-
chased from the Kits Prin-
ting Company, of this city.
This will put the Leader in
the hands Of all country rea-
ders of Mercer and adjoin-
ing counties, and will give
us decidedly the largest dali
ly circulation of any news
paper ever published in
Bluefield.
Advertisers should take
our circulation under con
sideration if they wish to
reach the greatest number
Of people.
