PASSING OF MEDFoRD RUM
"Spirit7 of old Massachusetts Town
Has Run Almost En-
tirely Out.

Medford, it is needless to say, is
place near Boston. Paul Revere rode
through Medford town" on his way to
arouse the countryside. Yet for over
a century, says the Springfield Repub-
lican, the thing that has brought the
greatest fame to the place has been
the Medford rum. 1t is quite within
our province as chronicIers to call at
tention to two recent events of i'm
portance in the history of the town.
The 275th anniversary of the first set
tlement on the Mystic, where Medford
stands, was celebrated most fittingly
on Thursday. DR.. William Everett, of
Quincy, whose facility in the writing
of occasional verse is not unknown to
a whole nation, recited historical
poem whose concluding stana auda-
ciously reminds one of the towns most
celebrated industry:
What means "Old Medford" to her
exiled sons?
What dear, domestic dreams in want
and wandering through their Wis
ion runs!
Close to their hearts warming taste
of home
They praise perchance; they share
and feel
Though from their mother far they
roam,
Her spirit still is there"
But. as a matter of fact, her spirit"
has departed Medford rum Is no
more, save in vary small and con-
stantly diminishing quantity, for the
firm that has made it has decided to
close up the business and withdraw
this redoubtable article of commerce
forever from the markets of the world.
When the supply now in the bonded
warehouses is sold. Medford's chapter
in rum will be ended, and the old
taunt that 50 distressed our orthodox
grandmothers about New England BIZ
bles and Medford rum going on the
same ships to the ehathen will lose
both its pertinence and its sting.

The stage drivers and freighters,

unhappy experiences these days, buck

has not been very cold, and the men
are husky lot Of fellows who do not
want for grit and 90 about their work

with the outgoing mail, up here from
DeLamar yesterday morning, and Da-
Wis, the oldest man in the bunch, with
Mills aud Ira Gardner to help him, made
an effort to go to Murphy, got as far as
the summit, when the snow was found
to be piled up on the further side to a
depth of l5 feet or more, aud no sign of

Work on north drift No 2 level has
been suspended, because it is expected
that the drift north will be continued
on the Kuickerbocker vein on the same
level, when that vein is reached by the
crosscut now being run, and it would
be an unnecessary expense to run two
parallel drifts only 80 feet apart. The
south drift on No. 2 level is going
ahead without any notable change in
the character of the vein, the width
and values still both holding up.
Notice Of shipment Of power drills,
compressor and motor from Denver has
been received, aud when they arrive
will he promptly installed and work on
the property viii be pushed with greater
energy.

THE BANNER.

Work is progressing steadily on the
uprase being made on the Webster
vein from the crosscut tunnel to the
upper drift on that vein. 1t is now up
about 30 feet or one-third of the dis
tance to the drift from the Webster
tunael The vein on the lower tunnel,
where the upraise was started was less
than Que foot in width, aud carried
little if any yalues. Higher up it has
widened to more than three feet, with
smooth hanging wall of "siickensides, z
indicating that it is true fissure vein.
The miners are finding in it punches Of
Ulack manganese, two samples OF which
have been assayed, showing values. re-
spectively, of s29 and sSl, principally
silver. Until this upraise has been
Z, mpleted, so that air can be supplied,
no further work will be done in con
tinuing the crosscut tunnel, now in
100 feet, with indications denoting that
the Banner ledge is nearly reached
President Steele of the Banner COM
pany, now in Minnesota, has recently
disposed of several thousand shares of
Banner stock at par value, and as the
sales have been limited to 10000 shares
by vote of the directors, at its last
monthly meeting, that limit will likely
soon be reached, with plenty of money
in the treasury to continue develop
ment work.

other side might help them, but met
Lucius Gardner who bad made his way
across on foot, leaving his team at
Toughnut, and he told them it was no

And they are trying quite as hard to
keep the route over the Reynolds creek
summit open. Bob Grant with some Of
his big freight outfit, loaded for De-

This morning tile entire crew turned

not say what results are being achieved.
Unfortunately nearl. al! the horses and
freighters are on the other side. and as
the telephone line from Murphy runs

know we are snowDound and that is all
there is toit. No mail out from De-
