Mark TWain'S SDider,

When Mark Twain was edit
ing the Virginia City "Enter-
prise" writing copy one day
and mining the n ext, a super
stitious subscriber once wrote
and said he had found a spider
in his paper. Was this good or
bad luck:
Twain replied to him in the
"Answers to Correspondents "
column as follows: go | d Sub.
scriber: the finding of spider
in your copy of the"Enterprise'
was neither good nor bad luck.
The spider was merely looking
over our pages to find out what
merchant was not advertising
so that it could spin its web
across his door in anticipation
of leading a free and undisturb.
ed existence forever after"

Tuesday Nights Entertdinm ent.

! The entertainment at the Op-
era house last Tuesday night
for benefit of the monument
fund was not as we'll attended
as expected, partly on account
of early adjournment of court.
The greater portion of the pro-
gramme, which consisted of Mr.
~Cargile's moving pictures and
Illustrated songs, had been pro.
duced here before and has been
written up in these columns, but
new features that were added
deserve special mention.
Miss Roberta Coker's rendi-
ton of the pretty little Indian
song "Ahrawanna was just as
good as that of the profession
ais with the King Ste * compa-
ny here recently. Her naturally
fine voice, graceful and opera
tic style would make her selec.
tions favorite numbers on any
programme. She also favored
the audience with, "Sing Me a
Song of the Sunny South, "whi> h
was very appropriate to the oc-
casion and was we'll rendered in
very impressive way.
The recitation "Aunt Elnora's
Hero" by Miss Glover Of
Walterboro, was the leading
number of the evening, and was
indeed a rare treat to those who
appreciate things of genuine
merit. Her attractive appear
ance, splendid voice, destinct
articulation and wonderful pow
er of expression, enables this
talented young lady to sway an
audience to any desired mood.
Her word picture of the grave
yard jack -o-lantern was so real
istic as to cause many of us to
shy around dark corners on our
way home that night.
The two classical vocal sell
ections by Miss Roxie Lou Car
gile Of Alabama were entitled.
"Only a Picture of Home Sweet
Home" and "When 'Tis Summer
in My Heart and were render
ed in a splendid manner. This
young lady presses a fine voice
of unusually sweet tone and
musical value and it is a pleas
ure to hear her sing.
Miss Mabel Snider accompan-
led the vocalists on the piano
and it is to her uneXcelled tai.
ent and proficiency that their
brilliant success is largely due.
1t was noble and praise
worthy in these talented young
ladies to volunteer their time
and efforts in behalf of the Con-
federate monument fund and it
is to be regretted that more
were not out to hear them.

.1Ek0A MAY RUN LONG TUNNEL

Work on the property Of the
Tekoa Mining & Milling COM
pany's claims situated at the
head of Dudley Gulch and grouse
creek is at present being devot-
ed to surface prospecting in order
to determine which way the low
err tunnel will be run.
This tunnel will probably be
from 700 to 300 feet in length
and will give an approximate
depth of 400 feet. When all the
necessary prospecting work has
been completed the force will be
materially increased and ulti-
mately. if the showing warrants
lit, a 3,000-foot tunnel for the
sake Of railroad facilities will be
driven. This will give a depth
of between 800 and 900 feet from
the surface.

COMPANY on NINE
PROGRESS At EASTERN STAR

Good progress is being made
with the development of the East
ern Star group Of % claims in
the Glidden Lake section just
above the city Of Burke.
A six foot vein of galena was
discovered some time ago while
the dam at the lakes was being
repaired, and a second vein was
uncovered by the water running
down the hill. The latter vein
is about IS inches in width and
is said to carry good values.
In addition to these a good ledge
of copper has been traced for
some distance through the claims
by open cuts and other surface
work.
A 270-foot crosscut was run
from the east side and a fair
showing made. The company
has now started a big 2, 2OO-foot
tunnel from the west side and
this is expected to cut both the
copper vein and the east vein at
a depth of about 600 feet and at
distances Of 800 and 1900 feet
from the portal respectively.
A contract for 100 feet Of tunnel
work has just been let and it is
the intention Of the company to
continue development all winter.

RUTH EXPECTING ORE STRIKE

A big strike of ore is expected
almost every day on the proper
ty of the Ruth Consolidated Min
ing & Milling company. A cross
cut of 800 feet was driven and en-
the conclusion of this work the
men returned to a point about quo
feet from the portal of the tun-
mel and began to drift on the
first lead This drift has now
been carried about 500 feet and
water is coming in on both
sides in quantities almost suffi-
cient to stop the work.
The whole formation is so hea-
Willy mineralized in iron, quartz
and lead that the report of a
strike is expected daily. Cross
cuts of the ledge at different
points have shown it to be 60
feet in width. The property ad-.
joins the Pittsburg Lead Mining
company's claims on Grouse
creek.

FINE SHOWING

Pending the arrival of a new
pump, John Nader has suspend
ed operations on the Neversweat
claim located in the heart Of the
residence section of Burke.
Work at this prospect has been
delayed a little on account OF a
slight miscalculation in the ma
chinery. A pump was delivered
some days ago but was too light
for the work and another had to
be ordered. This is expected
daily from Spokane and as soon
as it arrives work will be re-
sumed. At the time Of the close
down the shaft had been sunk
81 feet and a large body of mill
ing ore was exposed. The rush
of water was so great, however,
that development had to be sus-
pended until a pump could be in
stalled. The extent Of the ore
body had not been ascertained
but it is believed to be five or
six feet wide. The shaft has
been in ore all the way and be-
tween 30 and 40 tons of rock OF
a fair milling quality is on the
dump awaiting treatment. On
the arrival of the pump it is Mr..
Mader's intention to continue
sinking the shaft and to install
a hoist. The ore encountered
carries good values in lead and
in zinc Of the same character as
that found in many Of the mines
Of the Burke district. In addi-
ton to this, ore carrying free
milling gold running as high as
$500 to the ton has been encount-
cred in small quantities. 1t is
believed that the property is
traversed by the Mark Cooney
ledge.

ALAMEOAPRospECTsA ARE GOOD

Present indications at the AL
ameda mine tend to show that
a strike of ore may be expected
at almost any time. AT present
a drift is being run from a point
about 23O feet west of the boun-
Diary line of the Success mine
and for the past 100 feet cross
cuts from this have opened up
ore bearing matter heavily i'm
pregnated with galena and zinc
values. This ledge has been
proved to be about 80 feet in
width. -Four men are engaged
in the development.

CONTRACT LET ON THE IBEx


"A contract for 40 or so feet Of
work is about to be let on the
property of the hex Mining COM
pany, recently incorporated in
this city. The present tunnel
has been driven about rs feet
and it is expected that the con-
tract now to be let will cut the
ledge, giving a depth of SO or GO
feet. The present work is re-
garded as purely prospective and
is for the purpose of exploring
the ledge with the object of gain
ing sufficient data on which to
base future development. Later.
1t is the intention to run a 1000
foot tunnel to get a depth Of 700
feet on the showings made in the
upper workings. On the compile
ton of the present tunnel drifts
will be run on the ledge for the
purbose of exploring it.
The hex Mining company was
recently incorporated to operate
a group Of six claims lying south
of Mullan. The principal owners
are G. w. Dougherty, H. c. Top
