Saratoga Has Fine Ore

Without fuss or feathers, work on
the Saratoga lateral is progressing rap
idly, and Manager John Owen asserts
that it is his belief that within very
short distance an ore body will
be uncovered which will thor ,ughly
l. prove the property and justify his
prediction that early in he new year
ployed. The Saratoga lateral leaves
the Newhouse tunnel at a point ap-
proximatrly $1,000 feet from the por-
tai of the big bore, the iateral hav-
having been pushed distance
of 2400 feet. AT this point
there has been encountered a splendid
streak of copper iron between eight
cen and twenty inches wide which
shows values Of IS in gold, the tests
for other values not having been made.
1t is most pleasing to find such values
at this depth as they are much etter
than was found in the working above
when the property was demonstrated
to be a mint and big dividend payer
While extending this lateral, and W tn
in the last few working shifts, a weeks
ly production of from sixty to eighty
tons has been produced, the prod act
being stored 1t is not the present
intention to raise or stope on the
new ore body for the present, but to
continue the lateral for considerable
distance east, after which production
will be made from the ground developed

The unprecedented snowfall that ha 5
visited the Rocky mountain region dur
ing the present winter has been the
source of more than usual comment,
and even the old timers scarcely re-
member when the fall has bee1 as heavy.
But few realize to What extent has
been the precipitation, as but very few
keep accurate records. Among those
that do, however. is Superintendent H.
j. Wolf. at the Stanley mine, and he
has kindly consented to the Siftings-
News publishing the results of his OBJ
servations. For instance his record
shows that from September 80, 1907,
to May 27, 1908. the snowfall was 40 3-s
inches. Bringing his record up to the
present date, Mr.. Wolf finds that the
first snowfall OF the present year was
on September 25, and up until yester-
day, December Is, the total fall had
been As Ia inches. For the same per-
iod of time last year, namely, from
September 25 to December Is, there
had fallen but Ia inches, thus show
ing an increase this year of fully 40 in
ches. Assurance is thus given that
there will be an abundance of water
for all purposes during the coming sum
mer.

Remember the Poor

The good old Yule time will soon be
here when presents galore will pass
from friend to friend and between mem
bers of families. While this feast of
happiness is passing, it would be an
additional Joy to the liberal giver
whether rich or in moderate circum-
stances to remember those who are SO
situated that a little consideration
would contribute in large degree to
their comfort in life. 1t may be be-
slowed in the nature of a load of
coal, sack of -four or some
thing that will bring a smile to the
afflicted. We have very few such in
this community but such as we have
should be most kindly remembered.
Then there are boys and girls to whom
small present of some play article
would bring untold blessings to them.
They watch the windows contemplating
the various attractions and their hearts
go out tor some little Christmas offer
ing that would be joy to them. Yet
they realize their wishes are in vain.
1t seems sad that these Chistnas gifts
cannot be more evenly distributed and
bring universal Joy as this season of the
year is supposed to bring universal
Peace and Good Will.
