II all the iourueyings Of Santa Claus there
is no place he would rather visit than an
orphanage. 1t is said upon reliable author
ity that his reindeer lie down to rest when
they see him disappear down the chimney

not be back very soon. The RENDERS had
a long walt outside Of st. James orphan
age at Benson Tuesday night for the jolly
old saint found so many and such interest
ing children waiting for him within the
building that he tarried long time.
The attention Of Santa Claus had been
particularly directed to this institution by
Mr.. Normile, Mr. Redmond the Knights Of
Columbus and Mrs Frank McGinn. The
first two named gentlemen had Santa Claus
call at their store where they gave him
books, clothing. dishes, dolls and other
things with explicit instructions that they
be delivered to the boys and girls at the
orphanage. Mrs. Frank McGinn gave Santa
a suit Of clothes Of finest quality for every
boy in the institution and material to make
a dress for each Of the girls together with
money enough to pay for the making. She
also told him to be sure and not tell who
was the donor, but the old saint felt so
thankful that he went straight and told.
When no came down the chimney Tues
day evening he found the most brightly
lighted room and about as much delight
and good will as could be found in Omaha
on that happy evening. In the big upper
room of the orphanage, the 1856 children
were gathered, boys, girls and babies

GIRoUx CONSOLIDATED.

Several reports have been currnt that the Guggenheims had bought the Giroux Consolidated Copper Company which is located at Ely, Nevada. This is officially denied. Officials of the company state that ihe property is not for sale nor IS there any stock in the market. They admit that offers have been made by the Shelter people, but say they in tend to keep the property and work it.
 It is iettled that the company's 400-ton smelter is now complete and ready to run and that the buildings for the 500-ton concentrating plant are also ready for the machinery which will be delivered as soon as rall shipments begin on the completion of the railroad.
 The main shaft at the property is down 500 feet and the ore body re- mains constant in value. The general opinion is that the company has big property.
