One Drink Lost Him His Bride.

In st. Louis recently there was
wedding that failed under the saddest
circumstances. The bride was tenn
perance worker and had a bitter hatred
of strong drink. The groom was a
generous hearted man, with a weak
ness for the cup that inebriates. Be-
cause they loved each other, she
agreed to trust him and he agreed
never to take another drink.
All during the months of the en-
gagement he kept as sober as judge,
but on the morning of the wedding,
in response to the pleadings of the
best man that they take just one fare
well glass together, he yielded to the
temptation and took a drink of whis-
key.
When the bride met him in the
church she detected something un-
usual and suspicious in his actions.
The unaccustomed farewell glass.
coupled with the excitements of the
day, had been TOO mucn TOT MIN, anu
he could not conceal the effects.
She said nothing, but as soon as she
smelled the spirits on his breath she
released his arm and asked him point
blank if he had been drinking. He
could not deny it,and she refusedD go
through with the ceremony.
81 have said always that ! would
not marry a man that drank" she de-
clared. "but it would be worse to
marry a man who does not love me
well enough to keep his sacred prom
Use on his wedding day."
She left the church with her friends,
and there was no wedding.

drawn. Though the author declares
in the first paragraph of this fascinat-
ing tale that the foundation of Mrs.
DE RIOS second marriage was laid
during the lifetime of her first hus-
band, the reader is kept guessing
which of four men is to carry off the
prize. This indicates the consummate
skill with which the plot is handled.

the perpetrators Of these abominable
and dirty deeds are Is not known. No
higher service could be done the State
than to run down and put in the pen
itentiary the unprincipled puppies who
would seek to hide behind annony-

darkness to wreak destruction on good

their own business, pay their debts
and bother no one. The whole affair
is a disgrace to Hancock county, and
while we are not at liberty to give
information or details, 1t will be a
genuine satisfaction to many when we
say that the United States postal au-
thorities are now and have been for
some time working on the annony-
nous letter outrage In fact they have
located the authors of two of them
beyond doubt, and we predict that
you will hear something drop very
soon. 1t may be a temporary salts
faction to a few ssmi-savages when
few years in a federal prison will
give them time to repent of such con-
duct. Disorder and anarchy will never
be popular In this country.

out ore In the Nippeno mine. Of which
Grant Halfpenny is the guiding spirit,
in practical ways. and has placed the
figure, roundly, at $1,000,000.
This Is not all. Within the past week
or two another treasure chamber has
been broken open. r. F. Mcdonald of
Cooks surveying forces was permitted
to gaze upon the richness. The cream
Of 1t appeared to be ten to fifteen inches
in width and he himself handled some
six or seven pounds of the ore that had
a value of $40 to SIS, which would make
its ton value run $4,000 to $4,000. There
are now several hundred sacks Of the
high grade stored underground. This
latest ore was found while drifting to
the south from the main shaft and to a
connection with the main shaft. The
ore is being held to be worked in the
company's own mill.
The Nippeno mine is little over two
miles east Of the town of Crescent. The
local survey office of M. L. Cook is
just completing the patenting of its
twelve or more claims.
An old prospector who first located
this property was only able to find
float, but In such quantity and richness
that Grant Halfpenny decided it was
worth taking chance on and bought
it. 1t did not take him long to find the
rich ore in place. One of the earliest
cuts that preceded the present work
can still be pointed out. 1t is some six
feet deep and twenty feet long and

VALUABLE GROUP
IN CEDAR VALLEY
Los Angeles Company Operating Forty
Mining Claims in Monave County,
Arizona-InstalIation Of
Milling Plant

The Benedictine Mining and Milling
company, consolidated, of Los Angeles,
which owns forty mining claims in the
Cedar Valley mining district of Ari-
zona, has Just completed the installa
tion of mill Of capacity of $50 tons
a day. .a
The company has development on
its several mines at Cedar that will
easily enable it to keep it's mill at work
day and night steadily as soon as its
motor car equipment for hauling ores
from it's various mines to the mill has
been completed, and will In a very
short time reach a condition that will
enable the company to supply mill
of thousand tons capacity.
A telephone exchange connecting ev-
cry part of the work (both under and
above ground) with the superintend-
ent's Office and the railway station
twenty-eight miles away has just been
completed and an electric plant for
lighting the mill and all shops, ware
houses offices, houses and every part
of the work in the mines for operating
at night as well as by. day Is nearly
completed
A test run of the mill was made
during the past week, and the machin-
cry proven to be in working order, and
the company will commence steady op-
erations at once. tr
The company's work of installing
this plant and it's auxiliary connec-
tions was very seriously retarded by
the extraordinarily severe winter
weather, making the mountain roads
practically impassable for many weeks.
and demonstrated the necessity of me-
chanical transportation of it's freight
and ores, and a storage supply for a
years fuel, all these things have. been
accomplished now, and henceforth the
hum OF busy machinery in Cedar VAL
ley will make many happy, and the ad-
vent OF the Benedictine company, 1t is
said, will stimulate the development of
many other good properties in that
vicinity.

AT 44O LEVEL
Has Forty Foot Ledge Carrying Values
Up to $1,000 to the Ton--WiII Soon

Tons Per Day

The banner strike of recent date in
the Goldfield district as reported by the
Goldfield Review was made on the Mo-
hawk Jumbo Lease company's work
ings on the Jumbo ground. The treas
ure vaule was opened at the 440-foot
level, just thirty feet below the strike
of few weeks ago. The new vein is
three feet wide and carries an average
of 1880 to the ton.
$50 recent was the former strike on
this property that not much need be
said regarding it. At the 410-foot level
a fine body Of ore was uncovered, but
sinking was continued and the 440 level
was reached a few days since. Cross
cutting to the northeast was com
menced and the last shot Thursday
night opened up the new showing,
which is in reality continuation Of the
ore opened up at the upper level.
I'm the recent strike there Is a seam
ten inches wide which when assayed
showed an average of $6S40 to the ton.
The ore taken from this streak is be-
ing sacked and will be retained at the
mine until a sufficient amount Is Sc
cured to make a large shipment. The
balance of the ore taken from the new
strike is being shipped to the reduc-
tion works. fifty tons having been sent

ments are expected to be mae whereby
the. shipment can be increased to 10C
tons per day, and this will be kept UP
regularly.
'The last strike carries ore of equal
richness and quantity to that of the
former one, the ledge matter being
about forty feet wide and averaging
in value from ,$5 to $1,000 per ton, with
the exception of about eighteen: feet
which is practically barren. Sinking
will be continued until the footwall
which is nowhere in evidence has beer
reached. Three shifts of men are us
ing Burleigh drills in crosscut which
is being driven to the northeast. A
two compartment shaft is the means
by which the ore is taken out, one COM
partment being equipped with a bucket
while the other has cage, so no time
will be lost in raising the precious
metal to the surface.

been made on the Curtis claim to the
south. The Higginson lease recently
put on force of ten extra men to

ore per day is being hauled from the

KENNEL, Cal. June 16.-Balaklala
mine and smelter are approaching thai
period in their existence when the COM
munity will feel the greatest benefit.
Out at Ingot, where the Afterthought
mines and smelter belonging to the
Great Western Gold company are ope
rated, everything is tending toward q
bright future. The nearness Of the iron
horse, which will reduce the cost OF
Mr. Bretherton's management of the
most refractory ore reducer on the
copper belts of the county the talk OF
all smelling operators.
The Vulcan group, lying between the
Balaklala and Shasta King mines, will
soon be the scene of interesting activ-
tiles. This property was formerly
owned by William T. Shaw, Its dis
coverer, and j. r. Lyle, the Dunsmuir
merchant.
Some months ago the Vulcan Stock
company was formed and the stock Of
fered for sale was bought up eagerly
and the company had no difficulty
whatever in raising by this means a
development fund of $4,000. A wagon
road Is at present being built to the
mine. The road branches off the old
Uncle Sam road and leads past the old
Riley mine. This will be finished in a
few weeks when actual development
will be commenced, and at a point
where there are good gossan groupings
on the surface.
The Lower Springs district, west OF
Redding, Is just now the center of a
good bit of interest. The Stauffer
Chemical company is showing up what
promises to become very extensive
and valuable ore body. This property
has heretofore always been valued for
its quartz lodges. Now, however,
comes company that Is opening up a
big body of sulphide in a rhyolite
matrix. Sulphides in quantity have
been encountered that run from to J
per cent copper. In fact ore is now
being mined for carload shipments to
the Kennel smelter. The strip OF
rhyolite is easily from 200 to 300 feet
in width and has been traced to Mid
die creek and even east of the Sacra-
mento river, or distance of over a
mile. South of the Stauffer company S
operation Is the former Bromide group,
now under the name of the Shasta
Copper company. The same promising
conditions continue in that direction
also.
This season will see greater mining
development than at any period in the
existence of the county, and there is
not a wildcatter in this section as yet,
so that the press has only to tell the
truth and no one can buy worthless
stock. 1t is fact that some mines
are overcapitalized, but they have good
prospects and lie in good company and
belong to honest men.
