THE FIELD.
Heros

The maid who binds her warriors shash And smiling, all her pain dissembles' And while beneath her dropping lash One starry tear drop laughs and trembles; Thoug Heaven alone records the tear And fame shall never know her story
 Her heart has shed drop as dear As ever dewed the field of glory.
 "The wife who girds her husbands sword Mid little ones who weep and wonder, And bravely speaks the cheering word What though her heart be rent assunder5 Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear The bolts of war around him rattle, Has shed as sacred blood as e'er Was poured upon the field of battle. The mother who conceals the grief While to her heart, her son she presses, Then breaths few brave words and briet' Kissing the patriot brow she bleSses, With no one but her secret God
 To know the pain that weighs upon her. Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod Received on freedoms field of honor"

ANOTHER RICH
STRIKE AT JUMBO

Another phenomenal strike was
made this week at Jumbo on the
&c NJ. S. P. lease on the Ophir prop
erty, when at a depth of two feet
vein of ore assaying as high as $4,000
per ton was encountered in six
foot ledge. The vein of high grade
is about six inches in width and is
identical with the two-foot vein of
picture ore which was uncovered in
the Selby mine few days ago at a
depth of 100 feet
The ledge is about six feet wide
and the entire ledge contains high
grade milling ore.
The Gopher claim lies directly
north of the Barge claim and it is
thought the seam of high grade which
was struck is tie extension of the
high grade vein found in the Barge.
The lease is owned by Clapp, Mil
Ter, Smith and Price, and is the first
lease in the district on which any
work has been done.
The ore is now being sacked and
the vein of high grade will be sunk
on and thoroughly opened up.
Ore was also brought into camp
from the Clapp and Smith property
in the northern end of the district
which assayed 81 per pound
This ore was found on the surface.
Great excitement prevails in the camp
and many people are going in every

The proprietor of a Chicago hotel
tells of an eccentric guest who reg

who undertook, in an ingenious way,
to show his contempt for the oppo-

When the newcomer spread his sig

clerk, "but how do you pronounce
