Tire Themselves GETTING Ready.

Washington Irving tells IL story Of
man whp tried to jump over hill.
He went back so far to get his start
for the great leap and ran so hard that
he was completely exhausted when he
came to the hill and had to lie down
and rest. Then he got up and walked
over the hill. A great many people
exhaust themselves getting ready to
do their work. They are always pre-
pairing They spend their lives get
ting ready to do something which they
never do. 1t is an excellent thing to
keep improving oneself, to keep grow
ing. but there must be a time to begin
the great work of life. | know a man
who is almost forty years Old who has
not yet decided what he is going to
do. He has graduated from college
and taken Il number of postgraduate
courses. but all along general lines.
He has not vet begun to specialize.
This man fully believes he is going to
do great things yet. l hope he may

The Lodi orchestra which furnished
the music for the masquerade ball Wed
nesday night, had a hard time in getting
to Jackson. With the exception of one
PLAYER, who made the trip by train, they
travelled in an automobile. The heavy
rains had made the roads sIushy, and
the trip proved anything but JOY ride.
On the Morrow grade the machine be-
came stalled but the chauffeur managed
to tide over that difficulty. On the
Kennedy grade they got stuck and a
livery team was sent out to assist them
to their destination. 1t was half-past
nine clock before they reached Jackson.
The petty thieves are abroad again,
raidng chicken houses and clothes
lines The chicken roost of Mrs Gaz-
zera, at the north end of Main street,
near Chinatown, was invaded few days
ago, and number of the birds carried
off. On Monday night the clothes line
of Mrs Subratt, who lives on the Ham,
lton tract, was robbed of the costliest
articles on the line. 1t seems amazing
that these offenses can be repeated so
frequently, and the perpetrator escape
detection.

The conviction of Charlie Smith
at Columbus the other day for
numbering Laurent came as hea-
Wy blow to the paranoic defens e
theory. The attorneys of Smith
rested in perfect confidence while
the jury was out considering their
verdict. They had as they believ-
ed, made out a perfect case of in
sanity for their client and that
nothing remained but to aequit.
Great was their establishment and
chagrin when the jiry's verdict of
guilty was rendered. 1t remains
now for the supreme court to pass
on the matter. If they Uphold the
verdict paranoism is defunct.

The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1909-08-26

INTERSTATE - A ledge Of
shout 40 feet in width and car
rying good values in galena has
been uncovered while grading
for the new powder house at the
property. No work will be done
on the ledge at this time. The
lorg lower tunnel has been
driven about four sets Of timbers
and good progress is being
made. The property is located
near the Hercules mine at
Burke.
ST. JOE QUARTZ Work at
this mine has been stopped for
some reason. About ten barges
filed with machinery were on
the way to the property but are
still about ten miles distant on
the St., Joe river. A big cam
|paign of development had been
planned. II is said that John D.
Rockefeller is one Of the princi-
nal stockholders.
a GREAT NORTHERN Drift
ing has commenced on the big
ore body which was, recently ex-
posed and the showing is said to
be improving with every shot.
AT the same time the crosscut is
being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible to intersect the main
ledge. The property is located
near Burke and is being develop
ed under the management of Ed.
Eisman Of this city.
DANNEMORA - The ledge
was recently crosscut showing it
to be about eight feet wide and
carrying a large amount Of ship
ping ore. 1t is the intention to
cut a station and to commence
sinking on the main ore body.
The property is located near
Taft and has been under develop
ment for some time past.
C. & R. Good progress is
being made with the contract for
200 feet Of work recently let to
E. j. Duff and Jack Wilson. It
is believed that this will be suffi-
cient to tap the ledge at q depth
Of about 200 feet, the mountain
being very precipitous. As
soon as the ledge is encountered
it is the intention to commence
drifting. The property II lo-'
Gated in the Burke section and
has a splendid showing Of ore in
the upper workings.
PILOT Work is progressing
steadily on the driving Of the
lower tunnel where it is expect
ed that the main ledge will be
encountered at depth. The
greatest interest is being taken
in the development. The prop
erty is located in the Murray
section and has shipped the rich
est gold ore ever encountered
in the Occur d'Alenes.
SUCCESS A resumption Of
work with a small force Of men
has been made and it is expect
ed that in the course Of a very
short time the property will be
working at capacity and the mill
started. The mine is located
on Nine Mile and is controlled
by H. F. Samuels Of this city.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1909-08-26


SILVER CLIFF A large
quantity of supplies which had
just been taken out to the mine
have been stolen. There have
been numerous complaints of the
same sort from Pottsville and
Lookout prospects.
LUCKY SWEDE A con-
tract for 100 feet Of drifting on
the vein has been let to Philip
Shepherd and Morris Pearson.
The consideration is $3.50 a foot
and it is stipulated that the work
must be completed by January
/, 1910. The drift is now in
about 80 feet. A good showing
Of ore has been made and new
Accommodations for miners have
been erected. The property is
located in the St. Joe district.
ELECTRIC The annual meet
ing of stockholders has been
called for September 20 at MUIR
ray. A board of directors will
be elected for the ensuing year
and other business transacted.
SMITH & DUNLAPA clean
up Of the placer property oper-
ated by Smith & Dunlap on
Eagle creek is now under way,
and the results are said to be-
unusually good. A large num-
Der Of visitors went out to the
mine recently.
CLEMENS-WEISER CLAIMS
Development Of the group Of
claims owned by Frank Clemens
and w. w. Weiser located about
three and one half miles from
Grand Forks has been started.
After three property has been
more fully exploited it is prob-
able that a company will be orr
ganized.
MANHATTAN It is reported
that this group Of claims located
near Grand Forks is to be devel-
oped by means Of a long 80O-foot
tunnel. A good showing Of ore
has been made in the upper
workings.
GIANT M. & D.-The lower
tunnel is now in about $50 feet
and progress is being made a
the rate Of from five to six feet
a day. This tunnel is being
driven to develop at depth the
showing made in an upper tun-
mel about 200 feet long. The
mine is located north Of Sunset
and about IL miles from this
city. A full line Of machinery
has been installed. "A number
of business men of Portland,
Ore, recently made a trip of in
spection to the mine.
JACK WAITE - No an
nouncement has yet been made
as to whether or not a deal has
been closed with Patrick Clark
Of Spokane in connection with
this mine. Senator Mantle has
stated that there are several
offers pending and it is more
than probable that one or an
other will be accepted and de-
velopment at the nine resumed
in the near future. The prop
erty is located in the Murray
section.
