Philadelphia in 1876, is again begin
ming brush itself up and show renewed
life after a lethargy of several years.
M. j. Drum, an old pioneer of the west,
who has mined in Colorado, Montana,
Idaho and Nevada, has been in Gold
field for several days, and declares
that mining activity is gradually in
ereasing on a substantial scale, and
the camp looks exceedingly good in a
general way.

ting On new COLOR he said. mines
are starting up and people are taking
new heart, and before many months
those who have stuck to the camp
through the dull times will be rewarded
for their years of work and sacrifice.
Two important strikes have recently
been made and have greatly animated
the spirit of the district. Fletcher
Faulkner, one of the old-timers, has
opened a new bonanza on his property
between the Nevada Goldaeld group
and Drum g camp. The claim is on Gold
Mountain, and the ledge is seven feet
wide, with four feet of pay ore, con-
siderable of which is said to run up into
hundreds of dollars a ton. Free gold
is a~bundantly visible to the eye. The
strike was made in an incline shaft at
a depth of about D feet, and the in
dications are that it will prove to be
one of the best discoveries in the dis
trict.
Hunter and McCaul have developed
a fine body of gold ore OF the Randolph
claim, on Gold Mountain, that assays

Gin spite of the silence maintained
by Mr.. Wingfeld, it was intimaled in

Rawhide, New, June assignments
from the Marigold lease on the Coali-
ton estate during the last two weeks
in May had an aggregate value some
what in excess of $4,000. Within a
short time Superintendent Riggs in

another consignment of 40 tons Of 5000
ore. All ores at present being mined
are coming from the north and south
drives on the 16O-foot level. At that
level 4 crosscut is nov being run east
to reach a we'll. mineralized ledge that
outcrops about 0 feet from the shaft.
A few days ago sinking was resumed
in the Miller lease shaft on Hooiigan
hill and at a. point but a few feet be-
low the 16O-foot level resulted in the
tapping of a quartz-stringer showing
considerable gold in the free. The
seam is showing an average width OF
ak inches and is breaking up to
$924.5O a ton. But 1870 of the con-
tent is silver. Where first encountered
the seam had an average value OF but
$50 a ton and was scarcely three inches
wide.
Proskey Lease Ships.
An S,ton consignment of $3.50 a ton
ore from the Proskey No. ! lease re-
Gently went out to the sampler at Haz-
en-. The shipment was mined from the
drives on the 1OO-foot level, or from
the slopes above that point. June l,
recorded the resumption of shaft sink
ing, the objective depth being 100 feet.
There the same ore body exposed on
the so and lOO-foot levels is again
to be crosscut and drifted on. Where
exposed in the upraise on the lOO-foot
level the shoot has a width of three
feet and an average value OF $50 d
ton.
superintendent Frank McKelvy of
the Victor lease is this week preparing
for the installation of a 10-stamp mill
at a point about 200 feet west OF the
shaft. 1t is the intention of the man
apement to reduce thereat all ores
mined in the Victor leasehold. General
Manager l. H. Cook is authority for
the statement that engines and other
machinery equipment for the plant are
now en- route here. He also states
there are 10000 tons of ore blocked
out in the workings having an esti-
mated minimum net value OF VIZ Q
ton. The reserve in question prevails
ON the 200 and l25-foot levels. The
Victor shaft is now being deepened to
the 800 foot point, where the block II

LEASERS CONTINUE
TO OPEN GOOD ORE BODIES

on the level above and at the 120-foot
point. In the interim there will be
no let up in the extraction of shipping
grade ore from the upraise on the 1856
foot level, although it will be held at
the lease until such time as it can be
sampled at the soon-to-be completed
plant of the National Ore Purchasing
company. The latter is being estab-
lished at a point on the Rawhide Con
solidated estate about two miles south
of town, and will begin operations the
latter part of the current month.
Work by leaser at other points on the
Queen estate is attended by the extrac-
ton and blocking out of ores of vari-
GUS grades. In the former Kearns No.
2 lease workings, now being operated
by the Queen company, General Man
ager Barrett is proving up an immense
deposit of $12 a ton ore. DR.. Wheeler
and associates of Goldfeld have taken
over the old Ogilvie-Reynolds lease
and are preparing to work it on a com
prehensive scale. Three sets of les
sees are working the Kearns No. 1
lease block and each is saving ore for
shipment. Crosseutting is the only
work being done in the Mother Lode
lease workings. The drive is going out
at a depth of 90 feet. The main-work-
ing shaft at the Dromiac lease on the
Queen is being deepened from the 100
to the 2O0-foot point. Its present depth
is 125 feet.
Blocking Out Ore.
A very large body of milling grade
ore is being blocked out in the Norris
sey and Gillelland leaseholds on the
estate of the Rawhide Mining com
pany. At the Jump lease on the Hood
lum estate, adjoining, is exposed at
nominal depth a fve-foet body of $40
a ton ore. 1t appears to lie close to
the west contact of the Hooiigan hill
vein system tax and to strike directly
! across, or rather through the Last
Chance claim of the Rawhide Mining
company.
A comprehensive sampling of the ore
deposits prevailing on the Rector es-
tate is being made the present week
as a preliminary to resumption of work
on company account. The property is
one of the most valuable in the Regent
section of the camp and if consistently
and persistently worked will probably
develop into a heavy producing mine.
Lessees on the acreage have from time
to time sent out small shipments OF
high grade. Among others interested

THE HIPPOPOTAMUS.
How the Animal Is Captured Alive In
the Sudan

There is a vast difference between
the hunter who kills for pleasure and
the hunter whose business 1t is to cap
ture his quarry alive. How live hip
popotamuses are secured is particularly
interesting Two methods are resort
ed to
The so called hawaii. or water hunt
ers. Of the Sudan. all of whom are OK
cellent and daring swimmers, harpoon
their victims at the noon hour, when
they are sunk in deep slumber. Then
they pull them to the bank by means
of a cord attached TO the harpoon and
there make them fast. The hunters
use for this special kind Of harpoon,
made in such way that it does not
make deep wound. Fully three
quarters of the appropriateness ex-
hibited in Europe have been captured
In this way
Hippopotamus hunts are also con
Quoted Oh land There advantage is
taken of the fact that the female hip
popotamus makes her young walk in
front of her The reason for this is
/ that the beast being well protected in
/ the rear by its abnormally thick skin
+ prefers to have its offspring in front
/ where it can guard them better against
danger. But in spite of its affection
/ for its children the mother hippo has
no particular desire to meet danger
I when 1t comes SO the hunters dig
! large pits in the forest cover them
/ over until they are fully concealed and
/ then lie in wait near by. Presently a
{ female hippopotamus comes along
/ with her child uotting before her.
! Suddenly. without warning, the young
one disappears before its mothers
eyes This is TOO much for the old ami
mai She dashes away. leaving the
! little one ar the mercy Of its enemies.

PRESENT AND PAST INFLUENCES
No Human Can Get Beyond Posi-
bility Of Influencing Some One.

"You won't hear much better sing
ing than that this side the glory
land" said Prof. Ramsay at the
Methodist meeting Thursday night
at the conclusion of that beautiful
song of triumph, There's Victory in
My Soul" Addressing his remarks to
the congregation Prof. Ramsay said,
you have no idea how singing helps
your looks 1t makes the hOmeliest
Iof women look beautiful. And you
men, if you cant sing just whistle
that chorus.
Thursday nights service was char
acterized by the largest attendance
and best singing sof the meeting.
There were several new singers in
the choir and the congregation took
more prominent part in this form
J of worship. There was also an in
| creased number of musical instru-
ments. viz: Miss Eva Schmitt, vio-
lin and H. A. Mcmillan, clarinet.
! Professor Ramsay and Mrs.
r. G. Ayres of Dallas sang as duet
III Am Happy in Him. This song
was rendered in a way that went to
/ the heart of every one present. At
/ the conclusion of the sermon and
after the invitation had been extend
| ed to the uncovered Mrs. Ayres
| sang His Eye Is on the Sparrow. y
| The large congregation sat in almost
breathless silence during the rendi-
/ ton of this song.
Good reports were made from the
cottage prayer meetings. 1t was a
rather remarkable coincidence that
of the six reports made twenty-one
persons We're in attendance at each
of four places. Mr. McDade reported
that forty or fifty business men at
tended the prayer service at his drug
be at w. A. Crows store at 5 O'Clock.
/ Rev. Onderdonk announced as his
subject, The Present and Past In
! fluences.' Text, Romans 14:7, For
none of us liveth to himself, and no
man dieth to himself.
The preacher said: Il am sure a
reading of this epistle of Paul will
convince YOU of one thing and that
/ is that Paul was a man of broad Wis
ion He took into account two worlds
he figured on the future. | wish
that we might be able to measure
our responsibilities in that way
Paul said that as far as he was con-
cerned he could not afford to en-
gage in anything that would be
hurtful to his brother. He was care
full as to his influence upon those
with whom he was associated.
The preacher said that this influ-
ence spoken of by Paul was a power
that was possessed by every human
