COOK CANTON AGOG
 OVER MINING STRIKE
Seven Feet of Ore Exposed With Samples That Run $25
 to the Ton,

PRESCOTT. April 23.-Crook Oa.a yon mining district is agog with eX- citemelt over an important mineral strike made Sunday in tae Tom and Dick mine, one of the properties be ing opened by the Juanita Mining and Milling company, seysl feet Cf ore being exposed that samples $25 te the ton in gold. h some of the ore Tree gold is plainly visible to the naked eye, many specimens being found that assay thousands of dollars to the ton. The find was made in crosscut from the north drift from the 100-fooL rev el, 147 feet from the shaft. Accord ing to the statement of c. E. Warren, superintendent oE the property, who is here. The crosscut sparkles like a cabinet seven feet across. neither wall of the ledge having been found yet.
 The ore is part of a shoot which crops on the surface, a distance of 200 feet in length and Mir. Warren is of the opinion that it will develop into the greatest ore body ever uncovered in the district.
 The find was made by B. F, Peters, a heavy stockhoIder in the company and one of the original owners or ene Juanita group of fourteen claims. Mir Peters has been identified with the development of the Tom and Dick since it was a mere prospect. He figured that he would encounter the shoot cropping out on the surface at a distance Of 145 feet in the north drift. He followed a good sized ore streak in the drift from the shaft and when it did not widen out as lie thought it should underneath the sur lace croppings, started the crosscut Sunday and with the first round of holes exposed the ore body which proved in another shifts work seven feet in thickness with neither wall of the ledge in sight.
 D. A. Seaman, president of the com pany. arrived on the ground Friday and was amazed when he accom- panied Mir Peters into the crosScut after the ore was exposed He, MT. Warren, MT. Peters and other direc- tors have now under consideration plans for the erection of a. large mill on the conpany's properties at once! this latest strike proving beyond any doubt that there is enough ore rn sight, with a litie more development to keep a large sized reduction. plant running day and night Mir. Seaman says that the new plant will be in op- eration two months from date concen- trating the product for market Ar rangements are also being made uo increase the development force at once to rush the opening of tue .ro~ strike and prosecute work on other claims Of the group on a larger scale than ever. -
 The Juanita holdings are covered with a heavy growth of oak and pine which will furnish mining tinbers and fuel for camp and reduction pur- poses many years. There is also ample water on the ground for re- , auction plant.

VIM. O'Reilly, one of Langdon's early
day citizens, were brought home from
Alamogordo, N. NJ, for burial For
twelve years past he has been compelled
to take up his residence in Arizona and
New Mexico in an effort to obtain the
mastery in fight bravely made against
the inroads on his constitution By tAat
dread disease consumption. Back in
the old days before his health broke
down he was one of our best known
Cavalier county school teachers, young
man of more than ordinary ability alons
educational lines, even within the lines
of his chosen profession.
Deceased was born at Crown Point in
New York state on August 26, 1868
removing to Glengary county, Ontario
with the family two years later in 1870
making that place his home until com,
ing to Langdon in 1892. 1t was in 1896
that he first went south in search OF
health at that time going to El Pasc

in the first and eighth innings there was
nothing to tally in the Hampden column,
the batters being retired IN monoton-
ously regular one, two, three order.
There were seven runs piled up by
Langdon and any amount of spectacular
Ia inning to ms Ike the rooter go wild
with JOY as the game progressed. 1t
may not have been what could be styled
an errorless game, but it was a fairly
played, honestly won game and one OF
the kind that gives every spectator his
moneys worth. The boys playing in
games here during the tournament all
took their victories and defeats like
gentlemen, and 1t is to be hoped another
series of games may be arranged before
the season closes.

Death of VIM. O'ReiIIy.

Particulars regarding the death of
VIM. O'Reilly, whose home was here in
Langdon up to twelve years ago, when
he was compelled to remove to Arizona
and New Mexico owing to the poor
condition of his health are given in a
letter received during the week from
parties at Alamogordo, N. NJ, where he
passed away on Sunday, June 18th.
The writer of the letter is Mr.. A. G.
Buck, undertaken at that place, who
accompanied the remains on their long
journey northward as far as Mime
apolis, and states in reply to enquiries,
Mr.. Buck was not there at the time of
the deceased's passing away.
"As near as can get at it, Saturday
evening he was sitting in front of my
Office when DR.. Vanarsdal came along
and spoke to him. He joked with the
doctor and told him that would not
open up to let him in. The doctor saw
that he was weak and took him in his
buggy and drove him home. The doc
tor wanted to help him out but he said
that he could make it all right and he
thanked the doctor.
"About nine o'clock that night Dr..
Gilbert called OF him and remained
with him while. He wanted to get
someone to stay with him but your
brother objected and said there was no
use as he had arranged with the tele-
phone company that if he needed help
and could not call he would ring three
times.
CDR Gilbert went home and instructed
central that if O'Reilly's phone rang and
they got no answer to call him imme-
diately and that is the last that any one
saw him alive. The next morning when
the man came to look after the things
he was dead, and they called my son.
He and one or two others went, over and
got the body and took it to our under
taking parlors. They also took his
watch, two or three dollars in money
and whatever he had in his pockets and
put them in Mr.. Warrens safe He had
a little house that he lived in, it was ON
the Improvement lot. The house can be
/, sold as one party came to Inc to buy it.
We can do whatever You people want
done. Ii you want an administrator
appointed anyone will act gratis, as
nearly every man was his friend"

Baseball did you say: les, ai(e. plenty
of it. That's what the Langdon fans
and the throng of visitors from the sur
rounding towns give as their verdict
after attending the big base ball tourna-
ment held in Langdon the first two days
of this week when the best four teams
in the county representing Hampden,
Fairdale, Milton and Langdon played
four fast games worth travelling miles
to see, for cash prizes amounting to
$3.50.
Two games we're played Monday after
noon and evening, HampdeD defeating
Fairdale by a score of 4 to IN the
afternoon, which gave the tirst-named
team a chance to play in the finals for
the S1O0 hung up as first money. There
were lots of good plays In this game,
which was won largely by Hampden's
fine team work in the field enabling the
boys to score runs and shut out their
opponents in spite of the steady pitching
of the slab artist that Fairdale had
brought with them. who, by the way,
might have been more strongly sup
ported.
The Langdon bunch we're scheduled
to play Milton's good playing aggrega-
tion in the evening and the rooters were
out in full force to help the home team
along to victory. This game had to be
called owing to darkness after seven inn
ings had been played, the score being
5 to in favor of Langdon. Milton went
to bat again in the first half of the
eighth but were unable to better the
score. Editor Rishoff pitched for Mil
ton, the same position for Langdon being
filled by Donnelly. 1t was the first time
they had crossed bats this season ano

 The doe became frightened and fled. but the lawn showed no sign of fear, permitting the farmer to caress 1t, and finally 1t followed him to the barn. MT. Rogers drove to Shelburne Falls and had the fawn, lying at the feet of his two little daughters, photo. graphed.
 During the picture taking the fawn gazed steadily at the photographer and his camera, but gave no indication of being afraid. On returning to his home MT. Rogers took the little ami nal back to the meadow and in a short time it was joined by the doe.

Mourn for Dead Octopus

New York has just finished its off, cial mourning for Jonrock. This Jon rock was the pet octopus of the city aquarium. Jonrock went to the wick. ed metropolis with four companions from the Bermudas. He was the last survivor, for his companions drooped one after another and their multinle arms ceased the restless task of grab ping everything in sight.
 A military funeral was given Jon rock. The flag on the aquarium build. ing was placed at half-mast and other marks of respect were displayed. It was the plan to sprinkle tan bark in the harbor to deaden the noise of the ships, but this was abandoned. The obsequies were as peaceful as possible under the circumstances.
