All through this great United
States the question of good roads is,
| dare say, given as much thought as
any other question which is of vital
interest to both the farmer and the
merchant. The merchants, and towns
people in general, are just as much in
terested in having good roads leading
into their villages and cities as the
farmer is in having good road ad-
jacent to his own farm. Many of the
smaller cities and villages could not

are willing to help improve the main
travelled roads to draw trade, or keep
It from a neighboring market.

states 1t is surprising to note the ad.

For himself and Jack Cross he loCat- cd two claims, and on this property he found a streak of ore, a sample Of which assayed 293 ounces silver, .1& of an ounce gold and 4.25 per cent cooper. He will return with supplies, pitch camp there and uncover the ore in order to see what his find amounts to.
 Maloney Brothers are engaged now in doing assessment work on claims adjoining the claim on which they made the strike described in this pap CT last week, this work soon being due. This done, they will return to the scene of their strike and resume taking out ore-fOr there is still plen- tv of ore in sight Though they have gained a depth of only a few feet, they have already taken out fifteen tons of ore. Their latest assay re- suited 52 ounces silver, 2. of an ounce gold. IS per cent lead and 9.1 per cent copper.
 Mr. Stone says that country looks very promising indeed, and that II would not surprise him to see large body of ore developed there in the near future. Like all other lead coun- tries. this section presents many IT. regularities. and ore may be found where one would least expect it and in veins, pockets or bodies.
 Wherever found in place, ore is in a doIomite lime, and there is no sign of a contact near ore on any of the claims except in the case of the find on the Stone and Cross property, and then q uuartzite blowout is only if teen feet further up the hill.

 Debt to George w. ....
 With all of his knowledge and talent Lord Brougham was eccentric and slovenly> in his personal habits. While he was a young and comparatively unknown barrister he was asked to a dinner at which the prince regent presided. Mir Brougham's hands needed washing. The regents keen eyes rested on them. He beckoned to a waiter and gave an order which the man heard with a scared face, and then going out he speedily returned with a ewer full of water. soap and towel
 He carried them to BrOugham, pre- seuting them with the prince regents compliments. The barriSter instantly withdrew and never afterward re- ferred to the insult.
 Years later. when the prince, now king. tried to divorce his wife. Brough- ham, as her defender. so vehement, iy sustained her cause that she triumphed The kings name was not mentioned during the trial, though the nation knew that he was secretly the prosecutor.

Many of the poor Boers in the Trans yaaI, by whom all the shooting th& is done is for the pot and not for sport, have perfected a system of shooting with the assistance of oxen. A steen- buck has no fear of cattle and will lie still even if they graze right up to him. The hunter gets together a few cattle and with bis gun walks behind them in such a way that he cannot be seen from the front. Great care has to be exercised to drive the oxen so that they may seem to be grazing natural ly. The hunter must be ready to shoot without having to alter his position.
