A fool there was, and she lowered her
pride
Gwen as you and y,
To a bunch of conceit in a masculine
We saw the faults that could not be
denied.
But the fool saw only his manly side
Gwen as you and u.
oh, the love she laid on her own hearts
grave
With the care of her head and hand
Belongs to the man who did not know
(And now she knows that he never
could know
And he did not understand.
A fool there was, and the best she
gave
(Even as you and y,
OF noble thoughts of gay and grave
(And all were accepted as due to the
knave),
But the fool would never her folly save
Gwen as you and y.
Oh, the stabs she hid, which the Lord
forbid
Had even been really planned.
She took from the man who didn't
know way
And did not understand.
The fool was loved while the game was

Gwen as you and y,
And when it was played she took her
cue,
(Plodding along as the most of us dol,
Trying to keep his faults from view

Despite the announcement which
several of the members and a newly

the columns of The Argus several days
ago TO the effect that "all was peace
and contentment" among the members
of the congregation. 1t seems that

injunction be issued restraining the
new minister and the faction which
engaged him from carrying out their
!. purpose. The suppliants do not want
s-the new pastor to be allowed 10

him to be allowed to hold office. The
defendants named in the bill are Frank

Gold was discovered in the klon-
dixie placed gold district a little over
a decade ago. since which time the
field. with an area of 25 by 80 miles
square. has produced gold TO the
value of about $125, 900. geo. says G.
c. Coal consul at Dawson. Nearly
all of this has been mined by the
primitive process of pick and shovel,
and washed by the pan, the rocker,
and the sluiee box.
Most of the placer grayels in this
district are frozen from the surface
10 bedrock. which in places Is 300
feet deep. The pioneer miner put
down his shaft by-fre made of wood
upon the frozen ground. which thaw-
ed it for a few inches in depth, and
the gravel was then removed and
washed. and the same process re-
peated until bedrock was reached:
then he drifted along bedrock, where
the richest gravels are found, using
the same process of thawing and
washing as before, and hosting the
gravel by a hand winless, but later
steam was used for thawing and
hosting.
The thawing is now done by steam
points. which are steel pointed pipes
or tubes of various lengths through
which the steam passes, being con-
veyed by means of ahose. These
points are inserted slowly into the
frozen gravel. thawing for radius
of about 3 feet to each point, and to
a depth of foot per hour. Only the
richer gravels were worked, leaving
the greater part of the ground con-
tanning lower grade gravels not work
ed which is estimated to contain as
much gold as the ground which has
formerly been worked.
OF recent years the latest improv-
ed mining machinery and appliances
are being used such as hydraulics,
dreges and elevators, and by these

fectly reliable 1t is known that the
mine owners of that camp have made
overtures to Samuel Newhouse to in

the mine owners that they would be

Other smelling interests have been

eral eminent mining engineers have
gone into that camp and invariably
they have made favorable report on
the ability of that region 70 produce
a large tonnage for a number of
years. OF the visit of the Heinze
party to that camp Lewis ii. Beason
gives the following account.
James Breen. who for many
years has been the confidential adj
wiser of F. Augustus Heinze, arrived
in camp Thursday evening and Is en-
gagged in making a cursory examina-
tion of several of the principal mines
in this district. He has been the
guest of the Prince Consolidated man
agement since reaching town. En-
route day was spent in making ex-
animation of the Bullionyille proper
ties of the Ohio-Kentucky Co. near
Panaca. which leads TO the suspicion
that the visitor is here for the pur-
pose of looking into smelling possi-
bllities.
Mr.. Breen is "A metallurgist of ma
tional reputation and IL is claimed by
many that Mr. Heinze's successful
mining ventures were brought about
through the display of his energies.

been making regular shipments since
