REPORTED STRIKE IN
 THE ETTA MINE
From Sundays Daily)

Reliable information reached nere yesterday from the Etta mine of an other important ore discovery in the old workings. A body of rich ore un- known to exist before was uncovered in a erosseut from the main tunnel to the footwall of the vein. This is the third similar discovery in the mine the last month.
 Although the find was made only two days ago there is already 500 tons of ore in sight in the erosseut and drifts along the footwall from it. The early owners of the property followed the hanging wall in their exploitation of the mine. They were not aware of the existence of ore as rich as any mined by them existed on the foot wall, neglecting to crosscut the great vein to prove it.
 After the mine passed to the Book ariz Mining Company a few months ago. a careful examination was made by the management assisted by mining engineers, who advised the erosseut- ting of the ledge from the old open ings on. the hanging wall. Ore has been found in every crosscut run and those in charge of the property now believe that there is yet untouched on the foOtwall as much ore and of as good grade as any ever mined from the property.
 H. R. Fickerson, treasurer of the Bockariz Mining Company, arrived here yesterday from New York. He will leave for the Etta mine early next week. He is accompanied by Lee Stout. a New York capitalist.

 The shaft at this property will be immediately sunk to the 140O level to locate the ore bodies previously en- countered by the use of the diamond drill. There will be three shifts of men employed, though no delay need be experienced as the mine has been unwatered and everything put in order for a resumption of work.

As not one man in a hundred, this side of the Pacific states, handles half a dozen gold coins in the course of a year it may be well for the public 10 know that if offered, as money, bit of yellow metal a little smaller than a silver quarter and looking like a brass tag punched into shape by a village blacksmith in a hurry it will not be proper to collar the man who offers it and turn him over to the au- thorities as shower of counterfeit cur rency. For the new five-dollar gold piece is the oldest looking thing in
 the shape of coin that one is likely 70 have seen anywhere except, per haps, in museums and other places where the coinage of ancient nations is exhibited. One one side is the head of an Indian with as ugly face as could be found in any 'Wild West" show and on the other is a representa- ton of the proud. bird of our country not the eagle with extended wings, with whom our silver coinage mas made everybody acquainted, but a sober, al
 most dejected fowl, with his wings hugging his sides and legs and his en- tire aspect suggesting that he is giv- ing his whole time to looking as ineon- spieuous as pissible. Whatever beau ty there may have been in the original design mas been knocked out by the outlines of everything being sunken, cut in, instead of raised. The explan- ation is that gold coin is so soft that it easily loses some of its value by the raised portions chafing and wearing away. But the old saying, "Explana- tions are not excuses,'' will come to the mind of many a man who meets the new fve-dollar coin face to face when be isn't prepared to receive a shock. Gold coins are quite the fash ion in New York as birthday presents and Christmas gifts, and there has al ways been q run on the banks for any new design, but this newest thing from the mint is being let severely alone for gift purposes, except by peo- pie who, with mC-fe aforethought, are determined 10 scare the receiver out of night's s sleep or a years growth.
