When the humid shadows hover
over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rainy tears,
What Joy to press the pillow
OF q cottage chamber bed
And to listen to the pater
OF the soft rain overhead!
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has echo in the heart, 'r1I
And thousand dreamy fancies
Into busy being start;
And thousand recollectons
Weave their air threads into woof,
As I listen to the patter
OF the rain upon the roof
And another comes to thrill me - ..'
With her eyes delicious blue; .'.'t'
And forget /, gazing on her,
That her heart all untrue;
remember that I loved her
AS may ne'er love again,
And my heart quick pulses vibrate
To the patter of the rain.
Now in memory comes my mother
As she used in years agone,
To survey her darling dreamers
Ere she left them TIL the dawn;
o. I her leaning DER
As I list to this refrain
Which Is played upon the shingles
BY the patter of the rain.
There Is naught in arts bravuras
That work with such a spell
In the spirits pure, deep fountains,
Whence the holy passions swell,
As that melody of Nature,

Which Is played upon the shingles
by the patter of the rain.

the difficulty in most cases. The
wise woman takes stock of her be-
longings and needs before she starts
out to visit the decorator or depart
ment where she intends to supply
them. If she Is possessed of ample
means, has a d finite idea what she
wants, and is furnishing without re-
gard to previous possessions, the
task Is comparatively easy, but if
like the great majority-she is lin
tied as 70 expenditure, and has TO
buy new things that will accord
with used ones. she must max,
greater demands upon her judg-
ment and taste.
Points to BE Considered.
Beside the capacity of her purse
she must consider the general color
ing and the use to be made OF each
fitting. Harmonious colorings that
blend easily are better than vivid
contrasts. Everyone has seen new
rug or wall paper introduced into
a room that threw into strong re-
lief every defect in the older furni-
ture making the familiar things
hitherto satisfactory appear forlorn
and shabby. II is usually better 10
choose quiet, low toned colorlngs for
walls and floor coverings. These
are the backgrounds for other fur
and should be kept in the
background, though they may be
costly and elegant as purse and use
will allow.

Black walnut is very much to the
fore at present. IL Is the same
wood that was fashionable In the
COS and 70's but the finish Is diff
ferent. The new pieces have a dull
surface and the wood Is in the nat

Fine linen materials, printed In
old tapestry colorlngs, and known
as "Tanetas' are very much usel

Consolidated

The merger officially known as the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines com
pany, is vigorously pushing work and
in a short time will be in a position
to employ a largely augmented force
in its many properties,
The new three-compartment shaft
on the Jumbo has reached a depth of
140 feet, The Mohawk shaft, also
three-compartment, is down $50 feet,
and, despite the heavy flow of water
is making rapid progress. The new
Laguna, three-eompartment, has
found the 110-foot mark and the old
company shaft on the Red Top is be-
ing changed to finished.
These are only a portion of the
workings of the merger people, who
are sinking shafts and running drifts
aud %crosscuts in all portions Of the
camp, but the instances are sufficient
to evidence that the company is get
ting into proper shape to do an inn
mense amount of work, which is
iustifiable by the showings made in
development work on the company
account and by the leasers.-News.

NIohawk-E Extension

Three shifts, a total of sixteen min
ers, are now employed by the Mo-
hawk Extension people in the Wedge
claim. The shaft has reached a
depth of 100 feet and drifting and
sinking are being carried on stimuli
~taneously. These drifts are being
run due north and south, almost
lengthwise with the claim and in it's
center.
The formation is very hard ande-
site, containing white spots giving it
the appearance of birds eye porp-
hyry. The dip of the formation is
40 degrees to the east. At a point
near the shaft the formation is cut
by several ~stringers of soft tale,
crushed porphyry and quartz bould-
ers. These latter show sulphide
streaks and carry low grades. Cross
cuts will be run on this formation
and it is probable that the workings
will within a short time be carried
on in FIVE headings as Superintendent
Ingram feels that the plant is capable
of handling all the work that can be
crowded on it. The shaft is two com
partment and the engine is a splen'
did forty-horsepower, driven witt
| gasoline.
The trend of the formation in thi'
property evidences beyond doubt tha'
it is on the Ish Sheets line and can
not be far from ore. The for
nation comes out of Mohawk grounC
and passes into Silver Pick.
Walter O'Brien. secretary of thu
Mohawk Extension, is confident tina
at the intersection point of the RICH
angle leads there will be a splendit
body of ore developed. The compan.
has an ample treasury and is ex
pending it in a manner to obtain tn
best results.-News.

Mohawk

The company shaft in Mohawk Elk
tension ground is developing stringer
after stringer of ore that runs VI, to
shipping grade. Thursday night
Superintendent Ingram noted a
change in formation in the face Of
the southwest drift on the 100000
level and within an hour ore was ex-
posed.
In some manner the news got out
and was wired to San Francisco,
where the stock took a big Jump us
soon as the exchange opened. Tho
same thing occurred on the Goldield
exchange and trading was active at
advanced prices. Nearly all the
stock offered was snapped up by Wal
ter O'Brien, who is not only secre-
tary of the company, but n of its
largest stockholders.
The strike proves to be a foot in
width. This is a new ledge. The
one coming out of Mohawk C%onsoll-
dated ground will not be cut for an
other twenty feet.
The company is also driving in The
opposite directian to pick up the 1sh
Sheets lode. The Shaft is being con
tinued down and is already past the
200-foot mark. A station will short.
ly be cut and other drifts and cross
cuts run for the ore bodies .-News

only about three feet being made a
day because of the hard formation
that is being encountered.
Three shifts are employed and the
working force will be increased as
soon as the crosscut is begun. The
lease has a life until about Septem-
Der /, due to extensions given be-
cause of the strike. Work will now
proceed more rapidly, a six-drill COM
pressor having been put in place.
There is almost absolute assurance
that a rich ore body will shortly be
encountered, the formation and dip
being almost identical to that in the
Burns and the Loftus-D avis-Sweeney
leases. If, as believed, the ore is en-
countered at the 500-foot mark in
the shaft, there will be not less than
100 feet of backs, measured perpen-
dicularly, and the trend will extend
over several hundred feet of the
block.-News.

Silver Pick

The Chicago Goldfeld Leasing
company, operating on the Silver
Pick property, has reached a depth of
1876 feet, and at this point has en-
countered dipping into the shaft a
four-foot vein, which shows sui
phides in quantities, and o. T. Ross,
the manager, is much pleased with
the prospect, as the condition which
would cause the growth of the pc
culiar iron sulphide known as Mos
cosite should also p~recipitate or de-
post the gold, t~ellurium and anti
monial compounds, so common in
this camp.
The lease is equipped with a thir-
ty-horsepower electrical hoist with
thirty-six-foot gallows frame with
workhouse in connection. The shaft
is a double-compartment entirely
timbered. AS a whole the equipment
and shaft work are above the aver.
age in this camp, where material is
sc scarce, which speaks well fol
the management.
Before another drift is run 10(
feet more of sinking will be finished
The lease is financed by Chicago cap
italists.-News.

HEAVY OUTPUT
FROM GOLDFIELD
GoIdheld Starlight

General Manager NJ. H. Lynch OF
the Goldheld Starlight Mining co.c-
pany, states that active development
has commenced on the property and
that there would be no cessation un-
til the ground was thoroughly
opened up and put on a paying basis.
The Goldfeld Starlight is located
on the eastern slope of Knicker-
booker mountain In the eastern part
of the district and consists Of FIVE
claims. Extensive surface work has
been done and on each claim numer-
GUS strong lodges bearing the ear
marks of bonanzas, have been un-
covered. Three of these lodges,
Manager Lynch says, show a width
OF from four to twelve feet and trav-
erse all five claims. Surface values
running from SO to $45 have been
obtained on several occasions and the
general belief is that when the prop
erty is developed to a greater depth
it will rank among the foremost in
that part of the district.
The company has a strong treas
ury reserve and its intention is to in
stall a hosting plant at once and
develop on an extensive scale. Two
working shafts will be sunk to a
depth of 800 feet, with stations
every 100 feet, and when everything
is in readiness drifting and cross
cutting will be carried out ON a very
large scale.
The Goldfeld Starlight Mining
company is a new Incorporation and
has a capitalization of 100000
shares of a par value of 81 each, and
$1,000 has been placed in the treas
ury. The organization is a close cor
poration and none of the STOCK will
be placed one the market. The Off

Frances-NIohawk

Sinking has been discontinued tenn
porarily on the Frances-Mohawk
shaft on the Palo Verde claim on
account of the excessive flow of
water. Superintendent MacKay is in
stalling a No. 5 Cameron sinking
pump and sinking will be resumed
early in the week.
The bore is now down 220 feet.
The encountering of this water flow
and the siliciication of the birds
eye porphyry are two indications that
an ore body is being approached
Until the twelve-drill compressor ar
rives, which has been shipped from
San Francisco, a three-drill compress.

The Fargo lease on the c. o. D.,
which is now down to a depth of 210
feet, is one of the most promising in
it's locality. In one of its drifts a
three-foot vein of good looking ore
was encountered the first of this
week, which to all appearances was
at least what might be called good
company ore. Assay values were not
given out, but as the r bears a
striking resemblance to that Of the
Gold Bar, which is near by, the pre-
sumption is fair that the ore will
yield from So to $50. The strike,
while not sensational, is very encour-
aging not only to the management,
but to those operating in that vicin-
ity. This lease is well equipped with
a fine hoist, gallows frame and
necessary buildings, and under the
experienced eye of Manager Lynch
this lease bids fair to develop into
one Of the big ones.
That there is good and abundant
ore in this locality is given by the
Gold Bar, lying south and east, ana
one Of the prominent shippers of thu
Goldfeld district. The Fargo lease
above mentioned occupies a centra
position in this busy nook, being sur
rounded by other leases on the Cole
Bar, C. o. d., Bismarck, Atlanta ant
Third Chance. There are no bette
surface indications in the distric
than here, and it is fair to predic
that before long the Fargo will b.
making a good daily output.-Re

BLACK STAR.

C~rosscutting continues east and
west from the 200 foot level. A
ledge was cut % feet from the sta
tion in the east side, and is being
driven ahead for a second known
vein, estimated to be 80 feet distant
from the present breast.
The ledge cut through is four feet
wide and averages 81. At the 100
foot level it was practically barren.
and such an increase of values within
a distance of 100 feet is remarkable.
The shaft will be sunk another 100
feet just as soon as development on
the 200 foot level is completed. Some
prospecting is being done on the No.
2 shaft.

VELVET

That the main ledge has been
found in the Velvet, in the Hassel &
Warner lease, is the conviction of
Captain J.. A. Hassell. \ massive
vein of quartz has been encountered
and explored to a depth of 220 f""..
Some of the rock is plenty good
enough to ship, but there is every in
q cation that another hundred feet
will bring the lessees into a solid body
Of high grade ore, Of the same char
aeter as that of the big mines of the
West. Convinced Of this, Captain
Hassen is converting the shaft iato a
dcahie compartment. He expects to
have the work finished in ten days,
and will then resume sinking, with
the intention of reaching the 500
foot level with as little delay as pos
sible.
The ledge travels almost east and
west, and is believed to be the same
one which was cut in the shaft Of the
Jumbo Extension Leasing and Mining
Company, on the Poleverde claim.
If 1t keeps its course, which points
toward the Red Top shaft, it will
cross the Poleverde claim and The
Bullfrog fraction of the Red Tor
Extension. The st. Ives ledge, too.
should be found in the Velvet. and
would the east and west ledge
at almost right angles.
Two years ago a sensational strike
was made on the Velvet by Ryder &
Kicker. They took out 100000 worth
of ore from a hole twenty feet deer
close to the surface, and then the ore
pinched out. Ryder sold his Interest
and Kicker stayed with the game. HI
sunk an incline shaft 104 feet, ant
crosscut and drifted on the ledge
but to no avail. The ledge found IL
the Hassell-Warner lease is but
short distance to the south.

G. O. ID. M. & +.

An extension of six months may be
granted the C. o. d. Mining & Leas-
ing company by the C. o. d. Mining
company. This is on the authority Of
Mr.. Koontz himself.
Such a concession is an extremely
liberal one, as the Mining & Leasing
people have a shaft at the exact
point where the company desires to
establish its main workings.
The company demands certain
work to be done. especially a drift
to meet the one being sent out from
the present company workings. which
will both ventilate the mines and
probably develop ore bodies.
Some weeks ago., just as the c. o.

come residents of the city.
There were about forty of these
young strangers at the reception,
and they were given a most cordial
welcome. Several scores of other
young people were present to partic-
ipate In the pleasures.
An informal program of very
happy nature was carried out. Mr..

Is contemplating bringing In the dis

tlon that may be endeavorlng to re-
strict the coal trade.
The attorney general has been in
vestigating authorities, and has
found number of instances where
combinations have bedn proceeded
against under the common law in
other states. In Texas in 1898 the
people won victory over the insur-
ance monopoly. Cases have also been
found in Massachusetts and New
