PRETTY ROMANCE ENDS
IN HAPPY MARRIAGE
Continued from page one.)

Continued from page one.)
with unceasing zeal to save the flick
ering spark of life.
After a heroic struggle with the
phantom, the plucky nurse won the
battle. the tide of death was stayed,
and Eagle began to convalesce.
During the period of Eagles con-
valescence, during the long, weary
days when slow-returning strength
began to show his gradual improve
ment, Eagle tried to thank the pretty
nurse for her fidelity and patience,
her skill and care.
But try as he would, the right
words would never come to his lips.
While trying to master his lesson,
and voice his sentiments, Eagle
learned that there was a deeper feel
ing than mere gratitude and thinks
in his heart, and it was not many
weeks before each had confessed to
the other their great secret, and their
vows were secretly plighted.
But Eagle was not prepared to
make the pretty nurse his wife. His
financial reverses in Idaho had not
been recouped. and he and his BRIDE
to-be agreed to wait patiently until
the right time should come before
they would be united.
But the wheel of Fortune is ever
revolving. Every man has his golden
moments, and those who are alert
receive the reward.
About this time Eagle received
word that a number of mining claims
which he owned near his home at
Nampa, Idaho, were showing up bet
ter than had been expected. He did
not feel strong enough to undertake
his work here, and decided to go to
his home and develop his own prop
critics.
He left a few months ago, and
went to work at once, with the re-
suit that the properties have devel-
oped into a genuine bonanza, and
Eagle Is today on the high road to
fortune.
And the moment his future was as
sured, Eagle telegraphed to the faith
full nurse, who joined him in Salt
Lake, where their license to marry
was issued, and where the ceremony
which marked the elimination of a
romance of three states, was per-
formed.

MAGGIE CREEK GETS
SHARE OF ATTENTION.
ANOTHER OLD DISTRICT COMING
TO THE FRONT, WITH PROM
Use OF MAKING GOOD.

Herbert Thompson and William
Elmercht, who have been prospecting
northern Elko county this summer in
the interests of a Denver company
were in camp this week from the old
Maggie Creek district, where they
have spent the past month. They
are thorough mining men who have
had a great deal of experience in
prospecting throughout Colorado,
Utah, Idaho and Nevada, and do not
hesitate to say that during their ca
reer in the capacity of prospectors
they have never yet seen any dis
trict with brighter prospects of big
producing mines, and are especially
enthusiastic in their praises of the
property known as the Maggie group,
which is owned by Kilt KIMBERLEY,
Harry Irland, w. P. Young, Frank
Grandy and w. r. Roseberry, and
state positively that next spring will
find this proposition one of the big
gest shipping producers in the state,
says the Tuscarora Mining News.
The old Maggie Creek district is
situated about forty miles north of
Tuscarora on the stage road to Noun
tain City, and in the seventies and
early eighties the Maggie mine pro-
duced many hundreds of thousands of
dollars from some of the highest
grade gold and silver ore ever-en-
countered in this section of the coun-
try.
The Maggie group of fifteen claims,
has five distinct quartz lodges, any
one of which would be sufficient to
encourage much careful work and
prospecting.
One three-foot ledge from which
grab samples were taken shows gold
values on the surface of from $3.50
to $1,000 to the ton. The ore in
this vein is of tellurium character.
Average samples taken clear acros$
another vein, four feet in width, also
tellurium. give values of $24 per ton
gold on the surface, and in the bot
tom of an eighteen-foot shaft sunk
on this vein, the assay returns show
an average of $64 to the ton.
These two leads, together with
another smaller one of the same char
acter and good values, are true ifs
sure veins in the granite and give
every indication of large and perma-
| nent high grade ore bodies as depth
is attained.
Still another strong six-foot con-
| tact vein in granite porphyry forma-
| ton gives average assay returns of
| $40 in gold, silver and copper values
on the surface.
The fifth vein which traverses the
property and lies farthest west is the
| one from which all the values were
taken by the old Maggie company in
early days. This lead as before
stated, has produced vast amount
of gold and silver, some of the ore
running as high as $4,000 per ton.
This is also a contact vein in lime
porphyry formation, and has prac-
| tically barely been scratched, the
deepest workings on it being less
than 200 feet.
The owners of the Maggie group
have had several men at work on the
various lodges all during the sum-
mer and everywhere that work has
been done the showings have been
most satisfactory At present they
have a force of men at work driving
a tunnel which will give them better
than 100 feet of depth on the tellur-
ium lodges when they are cut.

Diamonds in the United States.

The occurrence of diamonds has
been noted in over thirty localities in
the United States, but in only one
place, near Murfreesboro, Pike coun-
ty, Ark, have they been found in
place. In this locality they occur in
a greenish colored, friable and de-
composed peridotite-a formation ye-
sembling the "blce ground" of Kim
berly, South Africa. During the past
twelve months about $50 stones have
been picked up some white in color
and of good grade, some yellow and
others brown or brownish; one pure
white stone weighed " carats and
another of equal weight was grown.
The stones are found on the sur
face of, as we'll as within, the igneous
rocks.

MANNING THE YARDS.

In the old navy, when United
States ships were actually ships with
yards, the bos'n's mates call, 81
hands cheer ship" was followed by
Ia much more picturesque ceremony
han is possible now, when the YES
sells of the navy are fitted with but a
single yard and that only used for
signaling. At the word of command
Man the yards! there was an
amount of acrobatic scurrying on the
main decks of the old ships that was
calculated to make the ship visitor
hold his breath, the thing looked SO
dangerous. The men forward in
bluejacket uniform would fairly leap
up the rope ladders, and almost by
the time the echoes of the command
had died away every yard on each
mast would support scores of men
and boys all standing erect, most of
them only held up by the crossed
arms of the men beside them. This
representation of cross was held by
all of the men, and it was their bust
ness to stand thus with absolute
statuesqueness. Then the command
Cheer ship! would be bawled out
on deck by the chiefs bos'n's mate.
and there would be a yell from cat
head to mizzen that couldn't help but
warm the blood of everybody within
hearing of it. When the men man
ned the yards with all sail except
topsails and stunsails set, such a pic
ture was really beautiful, the mems
uniforms of blue standing out in sap
phire-like contrast to the cameo
whiteness of the shrouds. This was
a ceremony on all formal occasions,
such as the visit aboard the old ships
of distinguished men. And Man the
yards!" and Cheer ship" were COM
mands always given when one of the
old clippers of the United States navy
was either departing for or arriving
from foreign nation.
