10 let us have a settlement for sub
scription, explaining 10 them that We
cannot afford 70 carry so many de-
linquents. A greater number Of
those have been very prompt, and
have cheerfully handed us what was
due Us, for wnich we thank them
very much. But on the other hand.
those who will not pay any attention
to the statements we send them, will
be cut from the subscription list after
this week. We do this in a friendly
way. however. and with no IN will,
although Il will be a loss 70 US, for
some Of them a more than a year In
arrears. But. our list Is growing,
and We can better afford 10 lose
these, than to carry them several
years without pay. II you are not
satisfied with The paper and will cali
and pay us the arrearage, and ask
us 10 discontinue the paper. We will
very courteously and willingly do
so. On the other hand If there is a
single subscriber on our books who
will say that he is not satisfied with
the paper we are printing nov, we
will gladly erase bis name, for such
a man is no Judge OF newspaper.

$4,000 TO THE TON
Streak Of Ore Opened Up in the Cotton Mine
Shows Values So Great One Can
Hardly Imagine Il Richness.
POCKET OPENED LAST FALL WENT $4,000

A strike, rich almost beyond the power
OF the human mind to conceive, was
made in the 500 foot level of the Cotton
mine, owned by e. S. Moulton, this week.
Ore taken from two.inch streak in the
5OO-level gave assay values OF S15,31l.70
and s16,943.72 to the ton. This is the
second fabulously ricn strike made in
the same level within the past year. Last
fall from streak seven eighths Of an
inch in width, ore was extracted which
assayed S71 1,9S1.2O to the ton.
The Cotton mine is located on the
celebrated Gregory hill, and is one OF a
group Of mines containing unusually
rich ore, namely the Cotton, Nemaha
and Nemaha Extension, all owned by r..
S. Moulton. Comparatively little work
has been done on the Cotton. but for the
ore bodies that have beer opened up, the
property gives every indication that with
further development it will prove to be
wonderful producer. The NAN shaft
OF the group is on the Nemaha, which
cuts the junction of the Nemaha and
Cotton veins at depth of 300 feet. All
the work which has been done on the
Cotton has been through the Nemaha
shaft. On the Nemaha Extension lode a
shaft is being sunk to considerable
depth.
All the ore that is taken from the
group is such, that the lowest grade
pays not only the cost of mining and
treatment, but leaves good margin CT
profit for the operators. Mr.. Moulton is
getting his mines in shape for the early
commencement OF extensive work and
within the next month or two will have
large force OF miners working on the
Nemaha, Cotton and the Nemaha Exten-
sion, when the three mines will be prop
erly opened up.

Chamber Of Commerce BANQUET.

Notwithstanding the inclemency Of
the weather, over one hundred people
sat down to the banquet given under the
auspices OF the Chamber Of Commerce

the storm and were compelled to suffer
the disappointment OF remaining at
home.
1t was late when the genial toast
master, Mr.. r. L. Martin, raped those
seated around the tables to order-al.
most ten o'clock. In few humorous To.
marks he introduced the speakers who
were to entertain the gathering, number
ing in all about twenty, half Of whom
were not called upon. owing to the late
ness Of the hour. 1t was after 2 o'clock
when the banqueters left the tables and
repaired to their homes.

were far above the average given by
speakers not ranking in the professional
class. Some of the talks were very hu-
morous, all bordering on the work done
by the Chamber of Commerce, the good
that will rebound from the organized
effort Of the membership to promote and
further the interests OF Golden Gilpin,"
and the work outlined, which when ac.
complished will mean much for this
section.
Manager Swanson, OF the Teller House,
served banquet that would put to
shame the caterers OF the large cities.
The viands were not only prepared with
culinary skill but great taste was exer.
cised in the arrangement OF the edibles
on the tables. Numerous potted plants
lent the decorative feature to the func.
tion, which with intelligence. culture and
conviviality intermingled formed most
