BUSINESS SUSPENDED FOR TWO
HOURS PLAY.

C. w. Whitlock, ex-champion foot
racer, who purchased fine bull dog,
has quit the racing business and gone
to dog and badger fighting. Bill
Sumner, the barber from Vernal
brought large badger into our city
for contest with Whitlock's famous
bull terrier. There was at least
$1,000 changed hands at the contest,
which was pulled off at Boyack &
Wren's saloon. The house was
crowded to its. full capacity, some
hanging on doors, door knobs and
windows. One of our most prominent
business men was selected to pull
the badger from the box, to give the
dog a fair chance. His name is
Ezra Lewis, our butcher. When Mr..
Lewis pulled the rope, to his great
surprise he had bed room badger
at the other end of the rope. Mr..
Lewis saw he was jobbed, and decid-
ed to buy the drinks for the crowd
and left with a silly smile. Ask Bill
Lewis about it.

lnxo COLD MINE MEETING.

Last Monday the Inyo Gold Mining
directors met in this city. The ac-.
commits of the company were gone
over and 1t was found that $3O,00O
had been spent in development work,
and the mine today is a well devel-
oped property, with millions of low
grade ore in sight ready to be milled,
with an occasional stringer of high
grade ore.
The mine is situated about three
miles from the Tidewater & Tonopah
railroad station, and Is considered to
be the biggest low-grade proposition
in that part of the country. A map
of the mine was shown to the writer
yesterday, and 1t was nicely gotten
up. showing tons of ore piled near
the dump, running into the thousands.
The company will have government
patent in about thirty days. All obli-
cations of the company have been
met promptly at all times, and they
have no debts They are working
only two men at present. The famous
Upper Ten ledge has proved to be a
good big body of ore-low grade
running from five to fifty feet across
the vein, and is being connected to
the immense tunnel. They have
found a blind lead in the tunnel with
gold ore running SAG. The notice for
patent is now being published in the
Lee Herald, paper published three
miles from the mine. The company
intends to put in gold panning plant
in the near future, and go to making
gold bricks to SELL The writer is
personally acquainted with all of the
directors of this company, and know
them to be good men to have at the
head capable of running any enter
prise to success; we therefore be-
speak for this company success.

The thought made Jack half sick
He law awake for a full hour, cold
with fear that Aunt Margaret might
insist upon keeping him away from
the scenes for which he was yearn'
ing.
The next morning he was In the
stable with Uncle Tom.
Il say, Jack said his uncle. come
own up now, you haven't anything
home as fine as this big live horse,
have you?"
Maybe not so fine to look at,
smiled Jack but ibid rather have

Uncle Tom looked sharply at the
boy, and there was an expression on
the stern little face that touched the
mans heart. From that moment he
ceased teasing.

voice, when you are ten years old

to do before.

Jack was visiting, and for the first
time in his life he saw lovely robin

Jack gave start. Had he wronged
his home by the admission? His small
face grew troubled. We've have

and you know, Aunt Margaret that
1t was sparrow who killed the robin
in the story. / guess robins must be
bad, even If they are pretty, for I'm
sure the sparrows would not kill them
for nothing"
Aunt Margaret just Rugged him
then, and said that she would always
like sparrows better because Jack was
their friend. A week later a letter
came saying that Jack must come
home. They could do without him nc
longer.
Oh! how he thrilled and dimpled
HIS aunt and uncle hated to give him

Jack, he gave in without a struggle
an outward struggle, l mean.
He was the bravest little chap you
ever saw. With his great serious
brown eyes he took in the situation
and accepted 1t in the funniest, wisest
way. He even tried to pet and pacify
Barbara and wondered that she should
expect papa to carry her upstairs, or
should ask mamma to rock her to
sleep. He loved daddy and mommy
too well to bother them, and Ted took
great deal of their time.
Now, because Jack was such little
gentleman. he had a good many hard
things to bear. He was oftener asked
to give up" He never made fuss,
as Barbara did, so 1t was easier to ask
him to be unselfish. His turn for
goodies" came last. because, you
know, Barbara was girl and Ted
baby" Jack smiled down his personal
inclinations, took what came his way,
and was loved by every one for his
beautiful disposition. People loved
him. but they did not tell him so half
often enough. SO how could he know?
Now when he was three terrible
calamity befell him. His mother was
taken Ill. and 1t was decided that one
OF the children should be sent away
to visit Aunt Maragret!
Barbara stamped her feet and
howled so dismally at the mere idea
that she should go, that Teddy Joined
in and for an hour there was scene.
Jack stood looking on. silent and fear
full. 1t ended as he knew 1t would
end; he, the little middle one, had
to take what the others would not
have and go to Aunt Margaret.
Away he went. away from the moth.
or he adored. and the home that was
so sweetly familiar to his loyal child |

Aunt Margaret saw the struggle on |
the brave little face beside her. She
had no children. and SO perhaps had
time to notice more the children of |
other mothers. She was too wise Ia |
pretend to buy Jacks smile with can
dy or toys. but all the way on the |
train she told him splendid stories
of heroes who were great because |
they were unselfish and true-hearted
And by the time they reached their
journeys end Jack forgot much of
his suffering and began to wonder.
If he tried very hard, If he, too, could
be hero some day? A knight of lit.
tie things?
Aunt Margaret's home was very
beautiful, and stood among fine trees
surrounded by velvety lawns. His
own city home was quite plain IN com.
parison. but Jack stood sturdily up for
his own possessions. 1t amused Uncle
Tom immensely, and he joked and
frolicked with Jack every evening
when he came home, trying to make
him say that something In the new
home was superior to what Jack held
sacred. This was great trial to the
small, heartsick visitor, but he was
too polite to say 30.
One night when Aunt Margaret was
putting him in bed she said
