a granite. No doubt the gold was put
there when Mt. Grant was in aelion and

its location being the south drift from
the 100-foot level. The drive is out
from the station a length of ninety feet
and in its face is exposed a splendid
body of sulphide ore. 1t has an aver.
age value of $40 the ton, with streaks
and seams ranging in value from 500
to 1913 per ton. Picked samples yield
a precious metal content as high as
5000 the ton. In the north drift at
the same level the Murray is showing
a l0-foot body of high grade milling
rock, streaked and ribboned with high
grade shipping ore. The entire deposit
there exposed breaks to an average OF
s35 the ton. Many thousand tons of
that grade ore are blocked out, and
other thousands of tons are piled ON
dump. At a depth of 200 feet a splen'
did body of high grade shipping ore
was recently encountered.
New Hosting Plant
The work of installing the new hoist
ing plant at the collar of the main
working shaft on the Grutt Hill Mint
c~ompany's holding is practically com
pleted. As soon as the machinery is in
operation the shaft will be lowered an
other 100 feet from whence crosscuts
will be run out to the ore body at pres
ent yielding high grade in the upper
workings. The high grade ore shoot is
now $50 feet in length with its total ex-
tent as yet to be fully determined. The
drifts on each side of the shaft are out
from the station sill a length of thirty
six feet, and are in ore all the way.
| Stopping is being prosecuted in both
drives, the floor of each being in about
25 feet. Thirty men are OF the pay
roll and more will be employed as OPP
portunity for working them to adj
vantage presents itself. Recently the
management installed a small plant con
sisting of a furnace, roll and crusher,
bv means of which the company is do
ing its own high grading. The plant is
working smoothly and has already re-
claimed bullion to the value of $4,000.
Now that the recently purchased
hosting plant is in commission at the
holding of the Rawhide King Hill com
panv on the estate of the Rawhide
Coalition Mines company, the work of
driving to a depth of 800 feet is being
pushed with vigor and rapidity. AS
the medium is lowered stations will be
cut and drifts be run out to contact
with the ledge showing at surface, and
which yielded a small tonnage of ship
ping rock at nominal depth. The real
development of the block will, however,
begin at the 30O-foot and lower levels.
There is reason to believe that the lease
will eventually become a prolific pro-
Queer of shipping and milling grade
ores, the deduction being based upon
the strong and well mineralized ledge
showing at surface.
Strike on the Queen
Report has it that another strike has
been made at the Kearns Nc. 2 lease on
the Queen. The place of its location is
reputed to be the 200-foot level, and it
is said to be the continuation of the
rich shoot exposed at the 65-foot point.
If further development prove the de-
duction to be correct, the Kearns No.
2 is one of the country's biggest

Rawhide, New, Aug. 13.--Ore ship
ments a~ggregating forty tons and hav-
ing a total gross value of ST., 900 went
out the frs week in August to Utah
smelling points. Forty tom of $500 per
ton rock represented consignment from
the Kearns No. 2 lease on the Queen,
and a like tonnage of 1925 per ton rock
out from the holding of the Grutt
Hill Mint company IN the Coalition
estate. In addition to shipments to
smelter, al ore tonnage of considerable
proportions was forwarded to the local
milling plants established on the fiat
south of the townsite. For the most
part the latter represented $50 ore from
the Miller, Murray, DeArmond and Lii
liam leases.
Returns received on the shipment
made recently to the Hazen sampler
from the famous Jordan lease on the
estate of the Queen Mascot company,
while not quite as high as had been an
ticipated, are nevertheless decidedly
satisfactory to say the least. Lot No.
high embarrassing of 1900
pounds, had a value per ton of ST.,
010.32; lot No. 2 had a value of $445.9s
per ton and lot No. 3, a value of $206.05
per ton. Lots Nos. 2 and 3 bulked
about 10 tons. The main working shaft
is down IS feet and is to be lowered to
a depth of 100 feet before attempt is
made to tap the ore body from which
the shipment referred to was mined. Ii
will require about IS feet of driving to
reach the ledge. Three distinct veins
are showing within the confines of the
acreage, each of them offering much in
way of precious metal yield. A hoist
ing plant has been ordered, and should
reach the property within a few days
Taken all in all, the Queen Mascot is
the equal of any property in the camp
in way of present and prospective
worth.

Rich Ore on Coalition

Mineral conditions at the holding Of
the Grutt Hill Coalition company on
the estate of the Coalition Mines com
pany continue to improve as develop
ment progresses. Rich ore is being
mined at two points within the confines
of the block, and a few days since a por-
ton of the treasure-nine sacks-was
sent to railway by special automobile.
lii the crosseut from the 106-foot level
the miners are pushing forward to con
tact with the rich deposit exposed in
the Grutt Hill Mint company's work
ings, adjoining. AT the fifty-foot level
the men are extracting ore having an
average gold worth of $500 the on.
While of greater value than that being
mined at the 106-foot level it is not
richer than what will probably be
found there met contact with the Mint
ledge is gained. 1t will not be long
until the company's hosting plant will
be in commission, and as soon as it is,
it is the intention to sink to a depth of
600 feet and again crosscut over to the
main ledge system.
Another strike of magnitude has been
made at the favorably known Murray
lease on the estate of the Rawhide Con-
solidated Mines company, the point of

assume the reigns of government
on the 1st of May under the most
favorable auspices, with a council
favorable to his policy, and with
the record to his credit of six

policy for the best interests OF all
the people is the hope and bellei
Of those who gave to HIM their
support.
A large and loyal part OF the
voters whom were possibly the
balance which weighted the scale
so heavily in his favor hope that
he will not treat their claims Tor

been treated in the past, all they
want and all that they ask IS htat
their claims be considered on
threir merits as man to man.

Any person coming to the city
of Chicago who desires a very
nice place to stop at can inquire
of Mrs. J. E. Johnson, 1888 Wab-

number of colored persons who
have already stopped there from
time to time.
Rev. d. p. Roberts, the distin-
guished pastor of the Quinn Chap

EEsuk.Z .t.7
Tbev were armed men who held the
town,
Determined to crush its spirit down
But they were met with jeers and
snubs
From men whose weapons were
but clubs.
Who had no guns nor FURNISHED
arms,
No flag nor scarlet uniforms.
But they were men who would not
kneel
Beneath a naughty tyrant's heel.
"Wher is the man, the people cry
who is brave enough to fight or
die?'
Wen follow him and heed his call
And avenge his death if he should
fall.
Then like a flash of lightning came
The words which set the smould-
ering flame
OF Independence, burning bright.
And terminated in a fight
+ a fleeing slave, a dark skined man
Said loudly:-"I will lead the van,
Here is the nest, strike at the root
And let the hated Red Coats shot"
Then glancing at the British line
He id:-"This day the ties which
bind
america to England's laws
Shall fall in twain for freedoms
cause"
On came the storm with fearful mien,
1t could be felt as we'll as seen,
One moment more of dire suspense,

tense,
And Preston gave one short com
mand,
Thus Boston massacre began.
Strike at the root,"-brave Attucks
cried
Here is the nest,"-he soon re-
piled,
The musket balls and bayonets
thrust
Our bodies through, fight on, we
must;

time,
Bang! went the guns all down the
line;
lurid fame, a puff of smoke,
Confusion reigned; the column
broke;
And on the ground the dark skinned

Who maintained such a stubborn
stand

Lay cold in death as if asleep.

IMPRESSIONS OF LIBERIA.

do those few cultivated sons of Liberia
who are now working throughout the
world for the regeneration Of the African
native and for the establishment within
the borders of the republic Of a great ne
gro race.
1t is a lamentable fact that almost with
out exception as soon as a negro comes
in contact with the white man he begins
to lose all that is best in his nature and
finest In his character. For instance. the
native woman of the forest lands of the
hinterland nurses her babe for two years.
The Liberian woman IN civilized fashion
nurses her child for a few months only.
In consequence the Liberlan infant is a
puny weakllng. too fragile properly TO en-
dure the hardships OF African life, organi-
colly too weak 10 stand the strain of the
burning sun and the evil effects OF the
fearful climate.
The race of Liberians threatens TO die
out Were it not for constant immigra-
ton from America, the West Indies, and
other parts OF the globe, in a generation
or so Liberia would. for all practical DUR
poses, cease to exist.
II is mistake to imagine that these de-
cadent civilized" black men control IL
beria. With the exception Of half dozen
little tOwns-Monrovia, Grand Bassa- Cape
Palmas, and one or two others-the terri
tory marked on the map az a republic is
a series OF native kingdoms.
Practically speaking, the influence of
the Liberian government does not extend
for more than FIVE miles from the coast
line.
In spite OF an army and great ambi-
ton. the republic has never conquered or
subdued the tribes of the interior. These
