EARL LEASERS IN
GOOD PAY ROCK

On the Martin-Wardell lease on
the Manhattan Earl company's
ground, an incline shaft has been
sunk to a depth of forty-five feet on

the leasers to follow this lead until
they strike the main ledge.
On the Swanson lease on block
five, the work consists of drifting
and stoping in the south and west
drifts, at the 150-foot level. They
have three and one-half feet of ore
in the north drift that will average
$25 per ton. Within the next few
days the work of stopping to the 100
foot level will commence. The last

the poet walks every day across Wimble
don common-a broad. open park-and
usually sits outside a little wayside inn.
where he enjoys his glass of ale with
old SLOUGH hat and looks like a farmer.
He will sit and chat on the most conven-
tional topics. but strongly objects to be-
ing interviewed, as several enterpristng
newspaper men have discovered to their
sorrow.
Swinburne will be glad to get the Nobel
prize more for the honor than the actual

prize. 1t will be recalled, was founded by
Alfred Nobel. with a fund OF $4,000, coo;

of dynamite. 1t is rather curious that the

Byron. l have always literally worshiped

Poe so strongly appeals to the MEM

bond of sympathy which both America

both sides OF the Atlantic unite In
recognizing him as belonging to the two
nations; and the celebration of his cente-

closer utilization of the writer's Of the two
