LARGEST
CALLOWS
FRAME.
Gold & Silver Prince Has
Completed Installation
Of Its Magnificent
Plant.

The Gold & Silver Prince Mining
company now boasts of having the
largest gallows frame in the camp.
1t was raised into position last Mon
day; is AZ feet high and rests upon
an 18-foot sub bent which makes it
really go feet in height 1t is con-
structed of 10x12 and 10x10 timbers
and was designed by George e. Coke,
general manager of the Golden Prince
and also heavily interested as a
stockholder IN the Gold & Silver
Prince.
The mine is equipped with a 25-h.
p. Alamo gasoline engine, compress
or and machine drills. These were
placed in service yesterday morning
and the task of driving the shaft
to the deep has been undertaken.
The shaft was started on April II
and carried down to so feet depth
by hand; last night it had reached
the s75-foot point
Within a few days the machinery
will be enclosed in a fire proof build
ing and all in all, there is no fin
er equipment anywhere in the camp.
The engine is not as large as the
one at the Phoebe King or Day mines
but the management contends that
the capacity is ample to carry the
mine through the prospective stages.
Adjacent to the plant is to be in
stalled the electric generator from
which the associated mines and build
ings will be supplied with light
1t is evident from the way the
Golden Prince and the Gold & Silver
Prince people are going at things
that they have the utmost confidence
in the ultimate outcome Of the cam
paign of development now in pro-
gress The Improvements being made
are of a most substantial character
and those behind the enterprise are
satisfied that they are going to add
at least two more to the camps CO
terie of big wealth producers.

Between the echo from the blasts
which are tearing open the treas
ure vaults contained in the hills
across the range from Phoebe, the
sound Of the hammer and saw are
heard on the premises of the Gold

averaging mora than $4,000 daily.

perty is changing hands each month, and
very few sales are made which do not
mean some kind of Improvement.

the scavenger tax which the state proposed
to collect, is now becoming valuable and
in many of the recent sales the lack of
confidence which existed a few years ago,
has been reflected when vacant property
has brought prices far in excess of the
total amount against such holdings when
they were allowed to go for taxes.
In the selling property of non-residents is
passing into the hands of people living in
Omaha who will improve it, thus assuring
further increases.

TAFT'S FISH STORY.

Justice Harlan told a story tc
Judge Taft of how he went out to
play golf in fog.
Judge Taft responded with fish
ing story, also about fog. He went
out one day in wagon to fish and
the fog came down thick. He drew
up where he thought the stream
ought to be, cast his line, felt a
pull, and hauled in fine trout-an-
other bite and another, until the
wagon was filled. The fog lifted and
the wagon was 800 yards from the
river. There was silence which
might have been felt when Judge
Taft concluded and Justice Harlan
told no more fog stories.-National
Magazine.

BISHOP AS PlG-KlLLER.

DR.. Montague Stone-Wigg, who is
retiring from the bishopric of New
Guinea on account of i'll health, has
had an adventurous life and many
queer experiences. Once, not so very
long ago, he acted as pig killer-in-
chief at a great carnival of savages.
The bishop had objected to the ma
tive method of slaughtering swine
for their great banquets, for it in
volved at least ten minutes agony to
the wretched animals and he offered
to show them a better way. There
were 159 to be slaughtered for 1000
savages. The bishop and one of his
clergy set to work to shoot the ami
mails, and in a very short time they
had killed so, though one tough old
pig required five bullets to give him
his quietus.

OVERLOOKED BY THE READER
Books by Donald G. Mitchell Seem On
appreciated by the Present
Generation.

Probably a majority of those who
knew of Donald G. Mitchell as the
author of two or three volumes of
charming essays had supposed him
dead long ago, and were surprised
at the announcement of his death.
For many years he has lived a re-
tired life at his home in New Ha-
ven, and if he has occupied his time
in writing it has been by way of pas
time and not for publication. !
books that won him popularity, HOY
ever, "Reveries of a Bachelor" and
Dream Life" could only have been
written by one still young and to
whom life vet offered much-one
with Imagination and hope and ex-
pectation. 1t was GO years ago or
thereabouts that he wrote these two
books. Does any one in this genera
ton read them? One seldom hears
them spoken of. If not read, then
why? Their poetic grace and charm
are not of an effervescent sort, but
have a lasting quality. Many a
much-lauded book of these days falls
far short of them in merit.
