him.
Without saying a word to the mem
bers of her own family or anybody
else Of what she intended to do Miss
Claussen packed her wedding gown
and other clothing in a trunk and pre-.
pared to run away with Bachelor.
That night Bachelor called at her
home and she told her family she was
going with him to the home of a
neighbor to make a call.
She did not return and her parents
became uneasy. A messenger was
sent to the home of the neighbor. He
returned and reported that she had
not been there.
Then her mother went to her room
and found a note written by Miss
Claussen, in which she said she was
going to run away with Bachelor
the man she had loved and promised
to marry when she was young and the
man she still loved better than any
other in all the worlG."
Bachelor said he ran away from
his parents home 12 years ago be
cause he was restless and wanted to
go out and see the world and that
he had not written to his folks be
cause he had met with reverses and
thought it well to let them think he
was dead.
Just before his return home he
made a snug sum Of money in Nevada
and it was that bit. of good fortune
that prompted him to come back.

THREE BURKE MINES,

Rumors of Strikes In Gertie. Hum.

There are continued rumors OF

these rumors reach US first from
Spokane and We regret to say that
we can get no authentic verification
OF them from Burke. 1t is more
than likely that they originated
with stock brokers In that city and
have but little foundation In fact.
There Is, however. some slight
confirmation from Burke OF the good
reports regarding all three OF the
mines. The Humming Bird Is driv-

made thorough inspection Of that
property and Investigated its books

II inspected not only the lower

this season of the year the upper
workings Of the Great Western mine
in company with three other towns
men Of mine. Richard Howarth and
John and Edward Greenrock. We
were all very favorably impressed
and intend to increase our holdings
In the company.
The crosscut is now in 115 feet
and Is progressing at the rate of two
and half feet day. 1t should cut
the ledge at about 625 feet OF depth
and about 240 feet more Of work
will be required to reach It. The
main tunnel itself was in 900 feet
when the crosscut was started.
They are also drifting on the
ledge cut by the tunnel last fall
which disclosed some very high
grade ore. The face shows both ga
lena and copper ore now and con-
slider the showing a most encourag-
ing one.
Il feel we'll pleased with the
progress of work on the property
and with the manner in which the
company has expended the funds at
Its disposal. The resources of the
company have been carefully hus-
banded and the treasury still con-
tains 264.005 shares. The equip
ment is all that anybody could ask
and Is another proof OF the good
which has characterix-
ed the Great Western from it's in

trict to make an examination OF the

1t is probable that a crosscut will be

might yet decide to continue on

cutting.
There is, however, a reasonable
expectation that they will do some
work on the 400-foot level. BY so
doing they would safeguard them
selves against being stopped by an
excess Of water during the spring
months and they have also a special
inducement to investigate the main
vein at this time on account OF the
handsome showing Of ore In the
shaft.
The shaft is being sunk some dis
tance from the footwall of the
ledge and was consequently not ex-
pected to disclose any ore. However,
for the last so feet 1t has shown over
1S inches OF high grade chalcopyrite
which nearly parallels the course Of
the vein and is evidently an offshoot
from 1t. Such a showing naturally
leads to the conclusion that the main
ledge Itself on the same level must
contain large body OF the same
grade Of ore. The ore in the shaft is
identical in character with that
which the Monitor IL producing from
