THE APRIL SMART SET.

Beatrix Demarest Lloyd has written several uovelettes for the Smart Set, but her latest story "The White Staln," will undoubtedly prove the most popu- lar of them all. The opening scenes are ia Italy, whither a young Engli'h artist has gone to paint certain pic ture. There he meets beautiful young Italian girl. The story then shifts to Paris, where the real drama begins, and a delicate yet strong situation is handlel with consummate art. The final chapter of this story Is written such depth of feeling that 1t will finger long iu every readers memory.
 The Smart Set is always alive with entertaining stories and the April num- Der is fully up to staadard.

THE BALLAD OF THE LOVER

Now who are you at heavens gate Who makes no word or prayer, And boldly stand with lifted hand As you would enter there? What Is the worth that lends you
 strength
 The uusheathed word to dare: Now by what right of service done, Ere yet the life sands ran, Speak then the deed that we may read Or yet we bless or ban. "I was lover true," quoth he,
 "Then was living man." Nay, but your hands are empty hands Wherein DO hands were pressed, No triumph lies between your eyes Nor burns upon your breast No stain of granted kisses shows About the mouths unrest. Nov, an you lie not, show the sign That you were lover true. No word spake be, but silently
 His clinging mantle drew And barred the wound wherewith his
 heart
 Was broken through and through. -Theodosia Garrison in April Smart Set.

HOW PETE LOST THE TREADNELL

was too low grade to be worked profit ably.
 As that time there was only about one steamer month, and while. wait iug for the boat Treadwell asked Pete to give him deed of the property, and he would gee what he could do in the way of getting some one to take hold of 1t. Pete gave him the deed, TreadwOll promising that If a company was form ed he would give Pete all it's patronage tor the provisions, etc, used about the mines.
 Ia the spring of 1882 Treadwell came up with five stamp mill and went to work. For year he bought all his provisions of Pete, Then wharf was built at the Island and Treadwell be- gan shlppiug all his goods from the south, the explanation given Pete being that his prices were too high for the camp to stand.
 This is just about the manner in which Errussard lost bis claim. Tread well, later, sold the property to the English company now operating it.

SUNlVYSLDE BUYS
GREAT WESTERN
DEAL MEANS MUCH FOR ROUND
MOUNTAIN
Mill Run of Company Last Month
Was the Best in Its History.
To Extend the
Workings

GOLDFIELD, Feb. BY a deal
which has just been contaminated the
Round Mountain Mining company has
obtained the controlling interest in the
Round Mountain Great Western Mining
company, which owns five claims and
a fraction adjoining the Sunnyside
group of that company and which con-
tains a goodly portion of the Sunny
side vein, besides an independent ore
system. The deal was made with New
York investors, who bought large
block of Great Western stock and
transferred 1t to the Round Mountain
Mining company in exchange for treas
ury stock In that company, at the rate
of seven and one-half shares of West
ern for one share OF Round Mountain
Mining. Hereafter the Western will
be developed through the Sunnyside
workings.
The Round Mountain company has
paid more than operating expenses
from it's infancy and has provided
funds for mill which is now earning
a handsome monthly sum for the treas
ury. Last month the mill run was the
best yet, averaging sixty-six tons day
for the entire month and seventy-two
tons daily for the last fifteen days
which shows what can be expected
with everything running satisfactorily
With the royalties from the Hydraulic
company's lease added to the bullion
from the mill, the Round Mountain
Mining company should soon see Its
way to a permanent dividend paying
basis.

UTAH MINES EXHIBIT
MUST EE ABANDONED

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 9.-Utah
will not be represented at the Interna-
tional Mining congress, to be held at
Madison Square Garden, New York
City, next summer. This is the deter
mination reached by Governor Cutler,
after a conference with the leading
mining operators of the state.
The last legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the proposed Utah exhibit,
but it was generally conceded that this
sum was entirely inadequate and 1t
would have been necessary, Governor
Cutler says, to have raised $4,000 to
$40, 900 additional, in order that Utah's
exhibit might be as extensive as the
mining interests of the state would
demand.
Some weeks ago the governor wrote
letters to a number of prominent min
ing men, asking them whether or not
In their opinion it would be wise to go
ahead in the matter in face of the
financial conditions and the fact that
the amount appropriated by the iegis-
lature was entirely inadequate. Among
those to whom the governor wrote were
John Dern, Harry S. Joseph, l.. Hol-
brook, Samuel Newhouse and Repre-
sentatives Sutton. These gentlemen
agreed with Governor Cutler that in
view of the present financial depres-
sion it would not be wise TO attempt
an exhibit.
As a result, the $4,000 appropriated by
the legislature will be covered back
into the treasury and the space, condi-
tionally reserved for the exhibit, will
be relinquished.

BIG CHIEF
LEASE HAS
$500 ORE
HART CAMP is REPORTED AS
PROVING GOOD
FOSTERS LEASE THE SCENE OF
RICH FIND
Much Work Is Now Being Done In the
Crazy Basin District and Indi-
cations Are Prom
Using

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 9.-The
San Bernardino county mining camp
of Hart appears to be surviving the
expressions of ridicule passed upon it
by Goldfield men, for daily reports
show constant development work and
finds of promising ore. The latest
news is to the effect that foot of $500
rock has been located at the Big Chief
lease ON the ORC Belle, the original
strike of the camp. Information of
this find was sent from Hart to Gold
field by George A. Foster.
John O'Keefe of Goldfe1d has re-
turned to that town after having made
an inspection of the new camp. He
was absent only four days, but in that
time bought an interest in fifteen To-
cations, as well as an interest in two
leases. He declares the surface show
ing to be excellent. Quartz containing
free gold is being stacked at six claims.
There are now about $50 miners in the
district and the number is increasing.
George Hamsteadt passed through
San Bernardino from Hart with news
that the miners are gradually drifting
toward the Crazy Basin district, where
E. S. LAMAR is developing properties
for Santa. Ana investors. At this point
two 100-foot shafts have been sunk. A
camp has been esta blished by Lew Nc
Garry, and Rol King, who owns prop
erty at the Basin, has ordered hoist
sent from Won Trigger, a station on
the Santa Fe. Crazy Basin is half way
between Hart and Won Trigger.

LONGEST GALENA SHOOT
IN WORLD Is FOUND
Famous Idaho Mine Gets an Accession
of SiIyer-Lead Ore-DeVelop-
ment Is Making
Progress

SPOKANE Wash. Feb. 9.-Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mine at Wardner,
Idaho discovered in 1885 by two pros
pectors of Spokane while lost IN the
Occur d'Alene hills, and which mas
since proved itself to be the greatest
lead-silver producer in the world mas
uncovered the longest shoot of solid
galena ever found underground. The
strike was made on the Sullivan side
the afternoon of January Is on what
is known as the Mormon stope. the
new ore body has known length OF
at least $50 feet and is of unknown
width. 1t will add from $4,000 600 TO
500. 100000 to the property, which is
valued at $40, 900, 000 900, and means that
it will require hundreds of men and
years of time to mine the ore contained
In the mammoth reserve.
This is the second important dis
covery made on the property In the
last twelve months. The value of the
first of these, found on the tenth level
was placed at $4,000, 900 by r. N. Bell,
state inspector of mines in Idaho, who
added in his annual report that If the
body were developed to depth the
value would be trebled. This predic-
ton has been more than verified. the
workings indicated producing millions
of dollars worth Of high-grade ,ore.
What new riches will be uncovered as
the work progresses cannot pc foretold
or even imagined. but, judging from
what has been done, it is safe to say
at this time that the most profitable
history of the Occur dAlene hills re-
mains to be written.
The upper workings of the mine
have produced and shipped millions of
dollars worth of ore and paid $4,000.
900 in dividends the last twenty years.
Then the Kellogg tunnel. driven miles
through the rocks, suddenly opened
into the greatest bodies of lead-silver
ore the world ever heard of at that
time. Experienced mining men turned
their attention to the deeper workings,
and as drift after drift and lower tun-
nels continued to cut and develop
other great ore bodies to at present
| unknown depths, the upper workings
were apparently forgotten, and to the
| layman they were practically worked
out. Following the find in the Kellogg
| tunnel the company turned its atten-
ton to developing the March tunnel.
which turned out to be veritable
| bonanza after thousands of dollars had
! been spent on non-paying work.

UTAH MINING MEN
PLAN INDEPENDENT SHELTER

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 9.-For
some days past there has been rumor
to the effect that the Utah Smelling
company had given an option on its
copper smelter near Ogden to a syndi-
cate of Salt Lake mining men. This
was confirmed today by Bella Kadish.
manager of the Utah company, who
stated that the option is held in the
name of Willard S. Snyder, second vice
president of the Utah Mine Owners
association. 1t seems that the Weber
club of Ogden has had this matter in
hand and is doing everything possible
to secure the location of the proposed
independent smelter near the Junction
City.
In a letter from the Weber club, and
received by II. S. Joseph, secretary OF
the Utah Mine Owners association, the
members of the last named association
have been invited to visit Ogden next
Friday evening and discuss the snelter
proposition with members of the Weber
club.
1t is understood that arrangements
have been made with farmers in We
her and Boxelder counties. which Will
remove any danger of smoke troubles
if the smelter is operated.

WEEPAH MINE STRIKE
CAUSES RUSH FROM BLAIR
Rich Vein Struck at the Grass Roots
While Doing Annual Assessment
Work-Refuses Offer
of $4,000

BLAIR, New, Feb. 9.-Early in the
week there came reports that the old
Weepah mine, which is located about
twelve miles northeast of Blair, had
struck some very ricn ore, and there
was a rush to the scene of the dis
covery, where it was soon found there
was something doing sure enough.
The property is owned by ]. T. Oar
rough of Smoky valley, who, 1t is said,
has refused an offer of $4,000 for the
mine. t. F. Smith has had charge or
the annual assessment, and in doing II
he started a tunnel, which, almost at
grass roots, was driven into vein Oh
quartz which has since developed
width of two to four feet and assays
from $50 to $S7. 1t is in formation
of mica schist and serpentine, which is
very badly distorted, the vein appear
ing to be regular and well defned;
The values are found in a decomposeu
quartz which crumbles very readily in
the hand and pans freely. Samples
brought into town show gold in copious
Quantities. and 1t would appear that
Mr.. Darrough has a bonanza and that
he had some idea of the value OF II
when he refused the offer made some
time ago. The property has Deen
worked for a few years, but no lead
was discovered until last year, but not
enough work was done then TO deter
mine the value of 1t.
The location of the new excitement is
within sight of Blair and 1t has been
visited by many in the past FEW days
and all have taken a chance on secur-
ing an extension of the values by
locating for several miles around.
