MEETING WITH SUCCESS.

The second week of the Lowry meet
Iings has been entered upon and. de-
spite an alarming tendency on he
part OF the mercury to crawl down into
the bulb, there is a deepening interest
and a larger attendance. On Sunday
large audiences greeted the evangelist.
In the morning his subject was THE
Model Church." He made it clear
what constitutes a true church of God,
and just as clearly pointed out some
reasons for the weakness OF the church
today. He paid his respects in no UNI
certain terms to certain questionable
methods for raising money for the
Lords work. In the afternoon, to an
other large audience, Mr.. Lowry talk
ed on Tithing. This was a very able
address on a subject that needs to be
emphasized. Most of those who heard
him we're amazed at the amount OF
Scripture that he gave in support OF
giving to- the Lords work. In the
evening the audience taxed the capa-
city of the tabernacle. The music by
the chorus and orchestra at this SER
vice was especially fine. We have
not heard anything better in some
time. The subject of the sermon was
recovered Sim" The evangelist went
to show that sin was the cause of
all our woes. that it kept US away
from God; and caused the Christian
to walk with hating faith. He made
a strong plea for everyone to get
right with God. This "a thought by
many to be the most powerful address
that Mr.. Lowry had yet delivered.
On Monday evening the subject was
The New Birth" The evangelist o
his text from the Catholic bible, and
in dealing with his subject he proved
the necessity of the new birth and
showed that it was not baptism, church
membership, conformation or reforma-
ton. Then turning to the word he ex-
planned what it was.
On Tuesday evening the subject vas
pilates Question" An invitation was
given at the close Of this service and
seventeen came forward, forsaking sin
and accepting Jesus Christ as their
Savior.

rest of the week and the beginning

pah and Max e. Bernheimer of New

CLAIMS
MAKE PROGRESS
OPERATOR SAYS CEVlTA WILL
SOON HANDLE ORE
DRIFT IN UPPER LEVEL SHOWS
HIGH VALUES
Force of Men Is Put to Work on Out
side Properties in Compliance
with Recent Assessment
Decision

Work on -Cevita claim of the Luning
Gold Mines syndicate at Lunng, New,
is progressing rapidly and the prop
erty is in a most promising condition
judging from a communication re-
ceived from Robert B. Todd president
of the syndicate. A larger force is
now employed in the mine than here
tofore and they expect to complete the
up-raise to the bottom of the Robert
shaft in January and be in shape to
handle ore shortly thereafter.
I'VE found on completion of the
underground survey" writes Mr.. Todd,
that we had a longer distance to run
to connect with the up-raise than we
expected, it being about 120 feet, and
should be completed this week and the
up-raise started. Work was discon-
tinued on the Robert shaft at a depth
of about $50 feet owing to the ex-
pense of removing the dirt Our ledge
above this point changed its dip, dip
ping more to the north, but the shaft
will be continued at the same incllnp
as above so as to make a good working
shaft. The best ore we have had was
found at the bend in the ledge.
1.-THE east drift in the upper level is
now in about 260 feet, or 180 feet be-
yond the intersection of the Robert
shaft. This is all in ore of good grade
and gives us backing for stopping
when we are able to handle the ore.
Not the Main South Ledge
"a recent survey, however, shows
that this is not the main south ledge,
but one that intersects the main
ledge about 60 feet east of the Robert
shaft where a split in the vein was
apparent and the drift was continued
on the south side instead of the north
and while it explores an unexpected
vein, we should probably have made
a better showing than we have, If we
had kept to the left or north at the
point of the split. This will be ex-
plotted as soon as possible.
we have thought it prudent to take
part of our force to do the annual
work on the outside claims owing to
the recent decisions regarding assess
ment work. This will delay us some
what, but not materially. This work
is being done on the Luzon, Nogale5,
Abe Lincoln and West End, and is
showing up some good ore bodies.
Recent work has been most en-
couraging and a larger force employed
than heretofore and we hope to COM
plete the up-raise to the bottom of the
Robert shaft early in January, and we
shall be in shape to handle ore shortly
thereafter"

took from the society one of it's most
valued and loved members and work
ers. Rev. Father Gay also paid q

much good relief work was accom-
plished.

Wheeler were adopted by the society,

pointed to act as honorary pallbearers
at the funeral, which will be held to-

tutions of the city. Headquarters will
