Rich Lead Mine at Duck Creek.

J. f. Brim was in town from
the Duck Creek mining district
last week Mr.. Brim reported
the mines Of Duck Creek as look
ing very encouraging. He
brought to TIE News Office a
paper weight from the Lead King
mine, The sample goes 81 per
cent. lead. He looks for d min
ing boom in his section Of the
country very soon. Lead has
gone up 30 per cent. in the past
year and it will pay to handle
lead ores that go 20 per cent,
but his ores go over 70 per cent.
He is putting on force Of men
and as soon as the railroad is fin
ished he will increase the num-
Der TO over 30 and go to shipping
ore. He is very enthusiastic
over his prospects.

This is the Limit
trict.

Later than all other strikes in
the district, says the Manhattan
Mail, and more confusing to the
Orists, is that at The Bronx, an
hours walk from Manhattan.
The ore bodies occur in the
granite belt III the region of In
dian Springs, directly southwc
of town, and are very rich.
The granite belt has been riyen
in scores Of places by porphyry
dykes which trend generally
north and south, Average values
across wide porphyry dykes at
the surface are reported at $50
to the ton. Between the por-
phyry and the granite there IS
generally found from six inches
to Il foot and a half of tale which
suns very high in gold and silver.
Assays as high as $4,000 to the
ton arc reported and in many
places the returns go between
81, 100 and Sl,o00.
The strike was made about two
weeks $50 by Iring Peterson who
has prospected in all the South
ern Nevada camps. He is asso-
ciated with eX-Mayor DaVie, of
Oakland

foot level some seven feet ore, It
is very evident that this district
will have Il. Hurry in the near
future.
The Illinois mine is owned by
Wolfe and associates of Colorado
and in the early days the ore was
hoisted from depth of 45O feet
by u windlass and was smelted on
the ground, giving big returns
to the owners; in fact, the net
production after mining at such
q cost was something near $500,
900.
The people Of Fairview are
somewhat excited regarding this
Lodi country and many are going
southward to look over the dis
trict.

in Ely. The Star says:
Mr.. Roberts went to ELY last
winter to look over the business

For small investment MI
Roberts secured Il half interest

Mr.. Roberts and partner have

They found it so satisfactory that
they made final payment on the

is GOING INSANE
Peter Covic, Arrested for Murder in
kenosha, Losing His Mind

Howling like a wolf, standing mo-
tionless for an hour at time on the
stool in his cell at the police station
In Milwaukee, Peter Covic, a former
Kenosha man, age 20, awaiting trial
on charge of murder, is exhibiting
evidences of insanity.
The prisoner began to show signs of
morbidness about a month ago when
he refused TO mop the floor of his cell.
He was transferred as punishment
to the lowest tier Of cells, which is
not SO we'll lighted as the others.
Since then he has brooded almost con-
tinually, seldom exchanging words
with his fellow prisoners.
His condition apparently became
acute Tuesday morning when another
prisoner, passing his cell, saw Covic
standing upright on his stool, with a
blanket wrapped around his should
ers. For an hour he retained a rigid
position,
Then he descended from the chair
and raising it, placed it on top of his
4
at the bars Of his cell, peering out
from between the rungs of this
grotesque head dress.
Covic is a Croatian who is alleged
to have stabbed Leopold Ritonia, a
Milwaukee saloonkeeper, to the heart
Aug. - with butcher knife, after
Ritonia had elected him from the
saloon, where Covic had been creating
a disturbance because a stranger had
refused to buy him drink.
Covic is said to have thrown the
knife away, and to have escaped to
kenosha, where he was arrested a
week later.
He is said to have made confession
to the police after his capture. From
what they know of Covic the police
are inclined to believe that he has
not wit enough to successfully sham
insanity, and that his malady is real.

A Psalm of Thanks.
(By ] NJ. ST.


o Lord, We do give Thanks.
For Thou hast been the arm OF
strength
On which we leaned full many a pass,
ing year;
We do give Thanksi For Thou art He
Whose ear to pleading doth incline;
Who strengthens, helps, and leads
and guides
Us ever on that far distant goal,
The haven of eternal rest and peace,
For those, whose toll worn weary
souls
Would fain believe their mission
done.
Thou dost point on and ever on
The road that leads unto a lasting
rest
Thou art never failing comfort;
And guide, help, comrade
Oft to cheer in our distress.
Thou art the All, and All in All
To him whose paths are fraught with
loneliness.
Lead Thou us on
Through dark and Silly night
To where the roads diverging show
US light
Then, knowing that our earthly
work be done;
The river then cen crossed; for all
That yet may come. o Lord.
We do give Thanks.
