MINES AND MINING.

Development is to be resumed on
the Harper group Of claims in the
Occur d'Alenes according to late re-
port from Wallace.
The ore shipments from Boundary,
'B. c., last week were larger than for
months. The receipt of large quanti-
ties of coke at Cranky has resulted
in large ore shipments from Phoenix
and the Dominion and B. c. copper
companies have largely increased their
shipments. There is great activity in
all camps in the Boundary, and from
all indications this will continue dur
ing the fall and winter.
E. P. Spalding and W. A. Cleland,
who have been inspecting the Monarch
property near Wallace, have returned,
and announce that development work
on the property will be resumed some
time during the month. A force of 20
men will be put on at the start, and
present plans call for increasing the
number in short time. The lease on
this property was recently given to the
Occur 'Alene North Fork company.

tie never had time to play,
He never had time to rest,
But he worked away and thought of
day
When what he had done would attest
The usefulness Of his life;
His worth as q man among men;
Then he would quit the strife
He would rest ON his laurels then.
As a bondsman chained he shaved,
Ever looking ahead:
As a miser he boarded and saved
Grudging his daily bread!
Beyond was happy day
Nearer and nearer it drew
When his work should be put away,
And care should be banished, tool
At last, upon a day,
When the sun was low In the west,
He put his work away; ~
And sat him down to rest;
But where was the dreamed-of blissf
And why was it now denied7
Things seemed to have gone amiss-
So he brooded awhile, and died.

claimed, upon seeing them. "There is
something very strange here which l
do not understand. Had the deceased
gentleman a pet Of any sort-a cat, for

Crosby shook his head. Not to his
knowledge, but they would make assur-
ance doubly sure by summoning the
housekeeper. He rang the bell and the
housekeeper came in, very pale and
trembling and almost upon the verge
Of tears.
No, she did not keep a cat because
Mr.. Hammond disliked them so; in
fact, they kept no animals at all about

A low exclamation from Crosby drew
their attention. He was standing be-

WHAT BECOMES OF SISSY BOYS,

your school, but you had a fellow cut
off the same piece. Ethelberts mother
made him wear curls until he was II
years old, and he wore knee breeches
until he was so tall that he looked like
pair of stills. 1t Is when he was
about 10 years old that you remember
him best. He didn't play rough games.
He didn't spit through his teeth, was
never late to school, wouldn't rob a
birds nest nor break windows in a
vacant house.
He always wore clean collar, and
oh the disgrace Of it, he BACKED his
shoes every morning. To be fair, we
will have to admit that he was hog

teacher. He was a tale-bearer. II
came natural to him to snoop and
sneak. If you whispered, he reported
it. Most of the time he played ON the
girls side of the school yard.
Everything about him was narrow
and you could safely wager that he
came from the kind Of home where
everything was according to rule One
Of those houses where they never oper
a window for fear the sun will fade

came, it was this same pale, nice-look
