GOOD SHOWING AT BUENA VISTA

From Al Stevens. who arrived from
Buena Vista Saturday. we learn that he
is keeping a small force of men at work
on the lease he secured on the Brownie
property two months ago. with highly
promising prospects. He began taking
out rich ore from the surface. from a
shoot which the shaft cut through at IL
feet depth. One assay showed $1,000
value per ton. and others varied from
800 to 81, 900 each. In leaving the shoot
the shaft kept on in ore of good milling
grade, some worth $50 and much worth
$40 or over. At SIS feet 1t is still In this
class of rock. At 100 feet depth a drift
will be run to again tap the shoot. which
will be found in so feet distance. 1t Is
thought. II II has kept on to that depth,
and Of the same richness as above, the
1s-month lease held by Mr.. Stevens
should prove a highly profitable venture.
The ore now in sight is worth $4,000 to
$1,000.
On the same lease Is the main ledge.
Is feet wide, and estimated to average
81 a ton IN gold.
Stocking and Denison are employing
Is men. The 3-stamp mill at the foot Of

to $40 a ton value.

these claims is the 1o0-foot dyke of low
grade ore. running from So to - a ton.

after sorting. And finally II was dis

FRANK e. dOTTSEELIG.

With the holly wreaths tonight.
Frank Gottseelig is dead. The
end came Sunday afternoon at 2:30
O'Clock after long and lingering
illness. He had suffered for months
with that fatal malady, Bright's
disease, and all the skill of physi-
clans and the tender nursing of
devoted wife and numerous friends
was of no avail He passed away
peacefully and those who had
watched and waited for the end,
knew that his day of toll was over,
his evening of rest was at hand
and that his spirit had found that
peace that passeth all understand
ing.
The funeral services were held
at the family residence Mon
day afternoon, and Notwithstanding
the cold and disagreeable weather
and steady downpour of rain, a
large gathering of friends, many
from distant towns, came with
beautiful floral offerings to pay the
last sad tribute to one they loved.
The services were participated
in by the ministers of the city and
Rev. j. Lundy Sykes. rector of the
Episcopal Church of Aberdeen.
DR.. T. G. Wier offered beautiful
and appropriate prayer. Rev. M.
K. Thornton read passages of
scripture and Rev. r. H. B. Glad
ney delivered an appropriate talk
upon the life and character of the
departed. At the grave Rev. j.
Lundy Sykes read the beautiful
Episcopal burial service, after
which the body was consigned to
the tomb with Masonic honors.
This community feels keenly the
loss of Frank Gottseelig. Where
ever there W Is ress, sickness
and death, there you would always
find Frank Gottseelig ready with
his sympathy and assistance. TO
his friends he was as true as the
needle to the pole and there was no
sacrifice he would not make
for friend. His charities were
generous and manifold, but never
blazoned to the world for personal
glory; but with a liberal hand
obeying the impulse of a tender and
sympathetic heart, he freely lent
his aid and gave his means for the
alleviation of distress and need.
Frank Gottseelig's friends and
acquaintance are not confined to
Starkville alone, and his death will
bring sorrow to all the cities, towns
and hamlets where his business as
commercial traveller carried him,
and universal sympathy goes OUT
at this Christmas tide, to the home
bereaved of that gentle, generous,
noble husband and father, and may
they be comforted in the blessed
knowledge that he is in the enjoy
ment of his reward that he so rich
ly deserves for his many good
deeds of earthly service.

Lo, the Christmas tide is with us,
In the East living light,
And the radiant morn is breaking
From the shadows of the night
Now the holy Star of Heaven
Comes again unto the earth,
With the story and the glory
OF the God -child's menial birth.
Teaching peace unto the nations,
Spreading love of fellow-man,
And that giving and not getting
Is the purest noblest plan.
Thus we meet you and we greet you,
With happy heart and say;
A merry, merry Christmas,
Unto you and yours today"

The great white shark 1t Is otherwise

casionally specimens are seen on both
coasts Of the United States, though its
moro customary habitat is in tropica!
waters. This frightful creature attains
q length Of nearly forty feet, and 1t Is
able to swallow man whole. This
fact IS proved by an experiment which
sailors are fond of making when such
= shark is captured. The skull being
preserved, they amuse themselves by
crawling one after another through the
d1stended jaws. 1t would be unsafe to
DO this, however. when the head has
been freshly cut off. because under such
conditions the jaws will snap together
nercely for some time afterward II
anything Is placed between them. The
