my ears to catch the silvery accents of
your voice; my tongue refused to wag
and in silence and alteration l drank in
the sweet infection of love as a thirsty

Since the light of your eyes fell upon
my life feel as though could lift my
self up by my suspenders on top of the
church steeple and pull the bell rope for
Sunday school. Day and night you are
in my thoughts when Aurora, blushing
like bride, rises from her saffron col
ored clouds; when the prairie dog pipes
his tuneful lay; when the woodpecker's
shrill clarion heralds the coming morn;
when the awakening pig ariseth from
his bed and grunteth and goeth forth

drowsy June bug wheels his drowning

lowing herds come home at milking

than the elbow Of my old coat; your
eyes are glorious to contemplate and in
those limpid depths behold legends of
little cupids. When your head lies pill
lowed against my manly bosom, the
fire of your eyes penetrates my whole
anatomy as a load of bird shot goes
through an apple. Your nose is as per-
feet as if carved from chunk of Par

ed with sweetness; nectar fingers on
your lips like honey on bears paw,
and myriads of unpledged kisses are
there ready to fly out and light some

HUBERT TO
Be WORKED
Old Producer of Millions Will
Resume Operations After
a Long Period Of
Inactivity.

Following the reports of the numer-
GUS properties of the county upon which
operations have been resumed during
the past several months, comes the
gladsome news of the reopening of the
famous old Hubert mine on Gunnell
hill in Nevada district. The mine will
resume operations next month on the
leasing system. 1t has been idle eight
years. The shaft house is in good con-
dition and very few repairs are needed
to the machinery.
| The Hubert shaft is 1850 feet deep
and there is over mile and half of
levels in the mine. Water has risen
in the workings and shaft and is up to
the 7O0-foot level. This will be pumped
out during the winter and until the
mine is drained only the levels above
the 700 will be worked.
| Few mines in the state have a more
fiattering production record than the
Hubert. From 1885 to 1896 the mine
pre- oduced 81, 700, 900 and the production
prior to that time is not known as no
records were kept of the output. Af-
ter April 1885 for 46 months, dividends
of Sc, 900 were paid monthly. The ore
in the Hubert is found in very large
bodies and runs from $4,000 to
S385.00 per ton. 1t is of lead cop
per variety.
The Hubert is the property of the
Vendome Mining company, Dennis Sui
livan, of Denver being one of the prin-
cipal owners. H. c. Bolsinger, of New
adaville, who managed the mine years
ago when it literally vomited wealth,
will again have charge.

LOVE SICK
BAD CASE
Farmer Boy Expresses Affec-
ton for Sweetheart in
the Most Endearing
Terms.

Sunday afternoon, following the ball
game between the local Merchants and
the Guy Hill Farmers, when the latter
were galloping down Main street on
their horses, homeward bound, one of
the ruralites dropped from his pocket
an affectionate missive, intended appar-
emily for his sweetheart. Not knowing
the young man who lost it or the lady
to whom it was to have been sent, and
therefore not being able to send it to
either of these, the letter is printed in
the hope that copy of the Observer
may fall into the hands of the fair dam
sci that she might know the heart pin
ings of her ardent wooer. While the
tillers of the soil of the Guy Hill section
may appear trifie weak on the dia-
mond, it must be admitted that when it
comes to writing sugar-coated love let
ters they are past masters at the art,
as the following would clearly indicate:
Dear Olive:
Every time think of you my heart
fiops up and down like a churn dasher,
sensations Of unutterable joy caper
over it like young goats over stable
roof, and thrill through it like Span
ish needles through pair Of linen
trousers; as a goslin swimmeth in q
mud puddle, 80 swim I in sea Of glory,
visions Of ecstatic rapture thicker thar
the hair on a blacking brush, ant
brighter than the hues on hummine

image stands before me like a pointer
swapping at blue bottle fly. When
first beheld your angelic perfection,
was bewildered and my brain whirle,
around like humble bee under a glas

Raise Is still Troublesome.

Last Sunday the connection between
the Saratoga lateral raise from the
Newhouse tunnel and the tenth level
west from the No. 2 shaft was again eff
fected, and for several days since a
force of men has been engaged in clear
ing away the derbis caused by the drain
age of water from the mine. In the
is large quantity of ore and rock lying
on the tracks in the lateral under the
raise-stope. The materal has been re-
moved as fast as possible, but owing to
the fact that there is a considerable
amount of gas and bad air still present
and hanging about in the workings, the
work has been retarded. When the
candles refuse to burn, the wOrkmen
Immediately make their exit.
On Thursday morning the crew of
men employed in the lateral through the
Newhouse tunnel were taken over to
Russell Gulch, where they were put to
work to assist in placing the main shaft
in an accessible condition. Considerable
retimbering has been necessary in the
lower workings, and as yet no one hes
been able to get down through the raise
into the Newhouse tunnel, and from ap-
pearances it may be week before any
one will be able to get through.
The workmen have almost reached the
tenth level today, but the condition Of
that drift is not known. The ground in
places is very soft, and heavy timbers
are occasionally crushed by the weight
they are obliged to sustain. Some stop
ing was done in the tenth level before
the mine was closed down several years
ago, and it is said that some Of the best
ore bodies in the mine are opened in the
lower workings. It is reported that q
streak Of ore in the cross cut north
from the shaft was opened, which gave
assay returns Of nearly forty ounces In
gold per ton, but on account Of the
heavy expense of keeping the mine free
from water and gas, no attempt wa,
made to mine any Of this ore. Idaho

NEMEHA GROUP
IS SOLD
Pennsylvania People Pay Big
Sum for Valuable Proper
ties on Bobtail Hill.
To Operate.

E. S. Moulton last week sold the Ne
meha group on Bobtail hill last week to
Pennsylvania people. The considera-
ton is not known but is understood to
be in the neighborhood of 500, ,0)0.
The new owners have taken possession
and will commence active work next
week.
In the group acquired by the Penn
sylvania people are three old patented
claims, namely the Nemeha, Nemeha
Extension and the Cotton. There are
four shafts on the properties. One at
the junction of the Nemeha and Cotton,
which is 500 feet deep, two on the Cot
ton 25O feet deep and one on the Ne
meha Extension 100 feet deep. On the
deep shaft is spacious shaft house and
other necessary top buildings. The
machinery equipment consists of Is
h. p. gasoline hoist.
Mr.. Moulton has been working the
} group in desultory manner the past
seven years and the mines are in good
shape to produce as there is good ore
showing in all the levels. Two years
ago good-sized streak was opened up
in the 40O-foot level east of the main
shaft and ore from this gave assay val
ues of 81, 900 to the ton, being over
5000 ounces gold per ton, beside carry
ing some silver and copper. A year
ago, in the 300-foot east level of the
deep shaft, ore was taken from a small
streak which assayed $500 pound in
gold. This also carried good silver and
copper values. All the ore taken from
the mine is of an exceedingly high
grade value and generally runs from
$4,000 to S500.00 ton. This is the
smelling values and the mill dirt runs
from three to ten ounces to the cord.
The new owners will commence oper-
ations at once. They intend to open up
the properties in a systematic manner
and extend the levels east and exploit
the veins where the rich values stated
above were encountered. The Penn
sylvania people will Immediately form
a corporation to take over the proper
ties, which will be called the Nemeha
Gold Mining company, with capital
of $500, 200.
