average about $400 per ton. The Flor
ence mine never looked so good as It
does now, and great things may be ex-
pected from it in the not distant flu
ture.
A total tonnage of 1858 tons, which
produced $33,5O0 in bullion, was the
record of the Florence mill during the
month of May. The average value of
the headings was about $11 ton, and
the extraction was slightly in excess of
30 per cent. The low value Of the
headings is due to the fact that ii
large amount of dump ore carrying
from $4 to So ton is still being run
through the mill, mixed with ore from
the mine worth about $40 ton, bring
ing the average up to about $ll.

mill is doing exceedingly good work,
and that when they get ready to run
the better class of mill ores from the
mine, the results will be mighty in

When the nineteenth century was aa
yet only half grown, senators appl,ed
tustomarily for their toddies at the IL
cailed Hole in the Wall, a small circu-
lar room just of the postofice Of the
upper house. The latter body then
occupied what is now the chamber Of
the supreme court, and the postoffice
was across the main corridor Of the
building on the same floor. When a
wearer Of the toga found himself in
need Of a ''snifter" he had only to
cross over to the mails department
and pass through 1t to the little cir
cular room aforesaid, which was about
the size Of pantry. The Hole in the
Wall was the first senate restaurant.
and the bill Of fare for edibles was
short, though to the point. There was
ham, guaranteed to have been smoked
for six months, veritable sublimation
Of the pork product; there were corned
beef and bread and cheese, but very
little else. They served, however. as
an accompaniment for the fluids, and
when the Hole was crowded, as was
often the case, senator's ate their sand
