Jesse L. Coe and associates have taken
q lease on a block of ground below the
lateral. 600 feet east Of the Gem raise
and below the Newhouse tunnel. An
electric hoist is being installed and
wipze which was started with windlass
will be sunk to depth of 100 feet. The
main ore shoot of the Gem Extension is
showing at this point in the lateral and
the Coe lease should be outputung
considerable amount Of high grade ore
in the course of the next few months.
The lease includes block OF ground 100
feet in length along the vein on either
side of the WINE, and is perhaps the
most desirable piece of ground in that
section of the big Gem properties.

/ Manager Chas. NJ. DeCamp, OF the
Quito mine, believes he has opened into
the original rich ore shoot in that prop
ertv in the lower level west from the
shaft which was recently sunk to
depth Of $40 feet. A test mill run u
about 200 tons of ore, taken out IN drlv-
ing the level, was made last week, and
and the clean up of the plates yielded
goodly-sized gold retort, while carload
of concentrates sent to the sampler, gave
returns far beyond the expectations OF
the management.
In the adt level above the present
heading of the lower west level, ship
uent of ore we're made which were liter
ally plastered with free gold. Ore OF
this character is extremely difficult TO
sample, and it is often more prohtabie
to resort to the primitive methods
mortar aud pan to extract the contents.
None of the extraordinary high grade
ore has yet been encountered in the low
er working, although some OF the quartz
shows free native crystalized gold.

President Tyler's dinners were, on a

provisions came from his own planta-
ton at Greenway Court they tickled
the palates Of the most exacting cpl
cure. He employed a negro cook from
his old home. one who knew how to do
to turn fried chicken and to shave
of the delicious pink slices Of baked
ham. These hams were considered
the finest that ever graced table. and

Two Intelligent Horses,

II hnve heard many stories of the In
telligence OF animals" said n close oh.
server of animal life. but the actions
Of two horses the other day equaled II
not surpassed many OF the tales. The
pair were fine looking beasts attached
to farmers wagon and had been left
outside feed store on Kensington
avenue Just beyond their reach were
several bales OF hay. BY some clever
maneuvcring the white horse, which
was nearest the pavement. managed
to get hold of some OF the hay. His
brown mate, not getting any of the
hay, with almost human actions made
the white horse understand that he
wished 10 share the feast. To satisfy
his mate the white horse took larger
mouthfuls OF the hay and turned his
head in a way so that the brown horse
could enjoy the feast. By the time
their owner reached them nearly half
the bale Of hay had been consumed by
the pair. When the owner Of the hay
was Informed of the unique manner in
which the horses secured their lunch
con he said that it was good scheme
and he would stand for the loss."-

William Tell and the apple We're prob

same time she was suddenly conscious
that she did not love and never had
loved Barney. Her eyes wandered to
the opposite side Of the car, where Jim
sat alone. A little flicker OF Sunshine
was touching his brown hair with gold.
Irinda. with quick indrawing OF her

Just SO the morning her mother died.
The doctor had told them-her father
and herself-that the sick one could
not live through the day. and he had
gone away and left them to their sor
row. Mlserably father and daughter
had communed together. She must be
told. but each shrank from the telling
Just then Jim had come. He had been
like n son to lrinda's mother. and they
relcgatcd the task to him. knowing
that Jim never had shirked a duty In
his life.
She remembered how he had gone
about it-not smoothing over the sad
facts at all. but with eyes and manner
and words so full OF sympathy and
tenderness and stanch hope of the un-
Known future that death seemed to
lose something OF Its dread. And as
she. at the foot OF the bed. had lifted
up her tear stained face she saw ray
of sunlight touch Jim's hair just as IL
was doing now
She tried to picture Barney In the
death chamber. He would not have
lacked In sympathy but he would have
tried to bring encouragement where no
encouragement could be. She drew
contrasts as She watched the brown
hair turning goiden-contrasts between
foam OF the sea and the cool blue
depths of the ocean itself. between a
bending reed and a sturdy pine. be-

seat where Jim sat alone. The face he
turned toward her startled her with Its
sternness.
'Irinda. have loved You for long
