 west of the mouth of the Poland tunnel on the Poland side, and about the same distance from the terminus of the Po- land branch of the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, from which it is proposed to construct n tramway to the tunnel on the ground for the transportation of the ores to the cars, the work to be commenced within n very few days.
 A tunnel 800 feet into the mountain along the vein, which taps three ore chutcs in its course of 500 feet in length, showing the vein Co be practical ly continuous throughout the entire distance, constitutes the principal de- velopmcnt work on the ground. The face of this tunnel has attained q depth of 400 feet below the apex of the vein, and at this point it is pro. posed to sink n winzc, besides continu. ing the tunnel along the vein through the mountain. An upraise from the winzc will also be run to the surface to be used as an air shaft, and later n hoisting plant will be placed at the winze. A conservative engineer esti. mates that there is enough stoping ground now opened by the tunnel to keep n large force of miners at work for the ensuing two years, and the pro perty is SO situate that it can be most economically developed and without the nid of but very little machinery. The ore will be run over the new tramway and dumped into bins along the railroad track, where it will be loaded in the cars by the chute pro- cess and shipped to the Humboldt shelter.
 The ore is n sulphide, carrying va. lues in gold and silver. n sample of 1000 pounds recently tested giving re. turns of $5l to the ton.
 The Poland mine, which furnishes ore for twenty stamp mill, is in opera ton day and night n short distance east of the Express mine, while regular shipments of concentrates are being made from the properties of the Mount Union Consolidated Mines company, but two miles south, which have been developed from mere prospects to n lepth of over 300 feet within the pas, two years.

Did you ever see troupe OF Arabs doing

1t. The Holy Jumpers made good their
name, so far as the jumping part of it was
concerned. and I guess that about the

competent to judge. Anyhow, the Jumpers
got to going strong throwing themselves
around, yelling and making more kinds Of
assorted noises than a peevsh elephant in

choked to death with laughter. I don't see

The next day 1 heard some more about
the Holy Jumpers. 1t seems that when
they first started to do business in Dan

wherewithal to buy rent a hall. But that
didn't worry them a little bit. They de-

I've been sitting here in my stateroom on
the Rainbow with the Greater Washington
Special speeding through the topmost of the
Carolinas. just a thinking of the Holy
Jumpers and their funny little ways. All my
life I've heard tell of religious sects that
weighed acrobatics and piety on the same
scales. and that considered the Boston split
and the triple somersault as stepping
stones to high heaven. But until last Sun
DAY night 1 never got close enough to

The session of the Holy Jumpers that
attended could hardly be classed as an edi-
flying spectacle, but just the same twas
worth watching. If only to secure proof that
there is quite herd of lunatics wandering
around loose on the face of the earth. In

Other than this there were no Incl
dents during the night worthy of mem

The regiment broke camp shortly af-
ter o'clock, after the men had eninyed
bounteous breakfast of beans, bacon
haribread and coffee. The last stage
Of the hike was about the plcasantest
Of the week. The distance covered
was about 1-2 miles. AS the regiment
passed through the village 1T Riverside
it was greeted with enthusiasm by the
country folk. and all along the line to
the city the people showed the
greatest appreciation and kind
ly spirit toward the troops.
At several houses large Amer
ican flags were displayed and several
farmers had pals Of water, cool and
refreshing, ready for the thirsty soldier
boys. At one house quantity of
milk and fresh apples were offered very
generously, and although the supply
was large it did not come anywhere
near supplying the demand.
On the march to the city, the main
column was attacked by a party ana
it successfully escaped notice from the

fell heavily on a tent pin and injured
his side Wednesday afternoon. He
received treatment from Capt. Hill and
last night was resting quite comfort
ably.
1t is quite interesting to notice the
fact that the men of the I'd Regiment
withstood the harGships of the hike
across country better than did the men
of the 1St Regiment. There were very
few who suffered from bistered feet
and as the weather was not nearly as
hot as last week, the call for sunburn
lotions was not half as much az the
week before.
Owing to the suspension of the usual
routine of camp duties there was little
doing Wednesday afternoon and cVcn-
irg. The men were tired enough after
the hike from Riverside camp to go to
their quarters early and at the band
concert given in the evening there were
very few civilian visitors. The I'd Rcgi-
ment Band is strong organization and
the selections played at the concert last
evening were very much enjoyed and
of sufficient excellence to ensure large
attendance Of visitors during the re-
mainder of the week. The band struck
a popular chord when it gave an ex-
cellent rendition of the "Whistling
Master and His Dog" a piece that was
a great favorite with the 1st Regiment
Band last week.
The usual routine of camp will be
observed today. Capt. Ellis has in
preparation a number of war game
problems that will be worked out by
the boys Of the Cd Regiment. Although
deprived Of the honor of a Governors

and quite a large number of camp
visitors witnessed the ceremony. Or
