As Leslie NJ Shaw czwachdog OF the Treasury, liked to

situation and one looking for work.
Too many young fellows in and begin to talk salary the

A QUAINT COMPLIMENT.

On Mark Twain's seventy-second
birthday a Hartford clergyman said TO
him:
mo wonder he finds happines in old
age. All the aged would be happy if
they were as sympathetic and as kind
as he. He is continually going out of
his way to please others, and the re-
suit is that he is continually pleasing
himself.
Listen, for instance, to the quaint
complaint he paid me the last time he
came to hear me preach. He waited
for me at the church door at the SER
vices end. an dshaking me by the hand
said gravely.
I mean no offence, but l feel Oblig-
ed to tell you that the preaching this
morning has been Of a kind that can
spare. 1 go to church, sir, to pursue
my own train of thought. But today
couldn't do it. You interfered with me

Orem yesterday received list of assays
made on the sulphide ore body on the
550-foot level. These assays are made
on samples taken each five feet along the
ore body, representing an average width
of the drifts, or FIVE feet along the strike
of the body for $50 feet. The general
average of the whole was SIS per cent
copper, the highest being 43.4O per cent
copper.
The real width of this ore shoot has
not yet been determined, for no hang
ing wall has yet been found up to date.
The ore is a solid sulphide all the way,
containing small amonnt of gold and
silver also. A recent development in the
Ludwig is on the 650-foot level. The
company has been in fine sulphide ore
in the north drift for some time, and
now the south drift has encountered the
same sort of rock. This demonstrates
more positively that the resources ex
tend deeply. The company has now
demonstrated the existence of the ores
to at least the 700-foot level. Salt Lake
