Here is a clock from Uncle Jim,
Aunt Myrtle sends a china vase
And VIII lamp. So kind of him
And here's a sugar spoon from Grace.
Here is a shawl of lovely lace
And here's nickel coffee pot,

The Thornbys gave that vase--the slim
Blue glazed affair with lowered base,
That lamp one does not have to trim
Maud's present. 1t will fill some space.
Dear Ethel gave clock in place
OF spoons. It's lovely, is 1t not?
She says it with a slight grimace:

That sugar spoon of pattern prim
Is Bessie's taste, and Robbie Pace
Gave up that coffee pot-a within

The vase with embems of the chase

She says 1t, though she needs a brace:

CARNEY COPPER IS 4 WINNER

1T is with pleasure I call the
attention Of your readers to the
fact, that it pays to advertise
when you have something worth
advertising. In presenting the
merits Of the Carney Copper
mine, through your columns, |
have always been we'll within
the facts. To verify all I have
claimed for the mine, it is only
necessary for you to visit the
property. In his last letter to
me, the secretary of the COM
pany says: People are getting
rather excited over the showing.
Nearly every day there are from
one to six to see it, and they all
report it the finest they ever
saw Plenty of samples will go
20 to SO per cent. The property
has reached that stage of devel-
opment which will soon place it
in the shipping list, necessitat-

the future, as any information
from the property will be eager

Development has been resum.

owned by Captain F. P. Candee
and associates. The lower
crosscut tunnel which is now in
about $50 feet is being continued
but it is not expected that the
ledge will be cut for some time
to come.
The property consists of three
claims lying on the northwest
slope of Dago peak on Two Mile
gulch> A fair amount of work
has been done and a good show
ing made. On the surface the
ledge shows from Is to 80 feet
wide. A force of three men is
engaged at present and the in

IRON SPAR TO RESUME WORK

Arrangements have been made
by which the development of the
Iron Spar Mining company's
property will be resumed at
once. A force Of four men will
be set to work Monday and it is
the intention to increase this
materially in the near future.
A full line Of supplies is being
forwarded to the property.
The drift which is now in
about 700 feet will be continued.
When the last crosscut was COM
pleted the ledge showed a width
Of about 40 feet carrying good
values almost all the way. Since
that time, however, almost 100
feet Of drifting has been done
and it is probable that another
cfosscut will be run soon.
The property consists of four
claims lying between the Bullion
and Monitor mines and close to
the Northern Pacific railroad.
