CAvE.|N OF HOMEsTAKE
Mine At LEAD SUNDAY
The Old Independent Slope Gives
Way Under Gold Street to the
zoe Level.

Early Sunday morning there was
a cave-in under the city of Lead that
will cost the Homestake considerable
work and expense to repair. What
is known a. the old Independent
stope caved in clear to the 500 foot
level. The stope is located under
Gold street, and that portion of the
town south from the Campbell house
is directly v e it. Fortunate there
were few houses in close proximity
to the place, and therefore there was
little damage to property on top.
The boarding house formerly owned
by Bertolero, but which was pur-
chased ONE time since by the Hearst
Mercantile Company is about halt
on terra tirma and half way
over the hole made by the ave
in. The stope was a large one or
iginally, about 200x500 feet in width
and length and about 100 feet high
between the 800 and 200 levels. The
dirt and rock caved clear to the top,
making a assure about 80 feet across
and about 1876 feet deep. The men
who were in the boarding house
were ordered out at 2 O'Clock this
morning and people living in the
vicinity have been ordered to move
away. The dirt and rock keeps set
thing and it is supposed hat the
end is not yet. 1t will require a lot
of work to replace the damage done.
One of the old timers at Lead who
claims to know the lay of the land
says that it was filled in with made
dirt where the cavern was and the
opening of a new stope underneath
caused the dirt to slump away and
was easily disturbed when an attack
was made on the rock underneath.
The company has decided to board
the hole across with two inch plank
and not attempt to fill it up at pres
ent.

PROTECTING THE INVESTOR.

The thirteenth mining congress
which meets in Los Angeles this
week, is on record as being opposed
to the fake mining promoter. 1t pur

Butte News.

The text of the bill, which the con-

lows:

made or published, any book. notice.

fact possess, shall be deemed guilty.

thereof shall be imprisoned for not
more than five years or fined not
more than $4,000, or shall suffer

This is quite a sweeping measure
and seems to be jokerless. 1t is
strange that the mining congress
advocate it, for among their
members are some of the widest of
schemers.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: The

three new prisoners to the Sioux
Falls penitentiary. Two Of the.
r. Wilson and William Foster
we're brought here by Sheriff Hewet'
of Pennington county, while the
third. James Sperry, was landed in
the p.nltentiary by Sheriff Plunkett
of Lawrence county.
Foster entered a plea of guilty in
the state circuit court of Penning-
ton county to stealing a watch worth
over $25 and will serve nine months
The case is a peculiar one. The
watch belonged to a personal friend
, of Foster and was taken while the
friend was in a drunken sleep. Eos
ter, since his arrest, has stoutly
maintained that he appropriated the
time-piece only temporarily, so his
friend could not be robbed of it. The
friend, however, was angry when he
discovered his loss and had Foster
arrested. Wilson will serve eight
months for robbing a, barber shop at
the little town of Wall.
James Sperry will serve a year for
stealing a team of mules. There are
mitigating circumstances in his case,
and it is probable that immediate
steps will be taken to secure a par
don for him. Sperry lived on a
ranch in western South Dakota be-
fore going to the Black Hills. A fire
swept away practically everything
he had and he was forced to seek a
new location. All that was saved
from the disaster were several head
of poor horses, and these he took
with him when he set out with his
wife and five children for the Black
Hills. He travelled overland.
All but two of his horses died on
the road and these were of little
value when the unfortunate man

ing a hard struggle for existence on
a ranch in Lawrence county he de-
termined to go to the region east of
the Black Hills and make a new
start as a homesteader. But bad for
tune continued to follow him, for
when some miles out on the prairie
his horses gave out and he was
stalled. 1t was then that he ap-
%propriated the mules. He states
that it was his intention when he
reached a place where he could make
a living to turn the mules loose,
feeling certain they would find their
way back to their owner
He secured work on a ranch and
regularly sent money to his wife and
children. When arrested he was at
work with a %threshing crew. To
add to his troubles one of his chill
dren died.

Boss of the Establishment

The Boss Of the Establishment came in
with very mysterious smile and a more
mysterious parcel in his hand.

manner.
"Violets?" his wife hazarded.

folks"
Who's going TO take tnem?' the Boss
wife inquired. Il used to snap fairly good
pictures with a little camera had at the
convent, but I'm afraid I've forgotten all
about Il now"
IN teach you the art Of photography"
said the Boss graclously. Its really very
simple when you once understand IT,"
The Boss wife did not doubt this asser-
ton, which proved itself For the BOSS

a silver-tongued friend had caught him
on his way out to lunch and persuaded
him that the chief function of a wife, a
home and collie dog is to have their
pictures taken.
Also the silver-tongued one had shown
him how to work the camera, or at least
so the Boss thought at that time.
We can get up early tomorrow morning
and take a, lot OF pictures before you go
to the office" his wife exclaimed, catch
ing his enthusiasm
The Boss gazed longingly out upon the
back yard.
Il think we might try some now" he
said. The light seems pretty good"
Fine" acquiesced the lady Immediately.

becoming smile.

hands behind you-wait minute I don't

adjust the sight.
Don't you think you arc little far
away dear?' his wife asked in her most
concilating tones, Isn't there a little
thing down at the bottom there that meas

Who's taking these pictures?' asked
the Boss, Indignantly. But that's Just

The Boss Wife made no reply. To have
her picture taken was next to opening

the undertaking by harsh words.

ing to Paul, Christianity stands or falls
with this truth Of the resurrection. 1T
Christ hath not been raised then is our
preaching vain; your faith also is vain %
The resurrection of Christ is certainly the
foundation Of all that we believe and ever
must be. All our hope springs from the
empty tomb, and II the apostle glories in
the cross, yet it was in the resurrection
that he found his final ground of conf

Personal experience is of different
character from all the other lines OF evil
dence. 1t consists in the confirmation by
experience Of the teaching of Christ In
its very nature Christianity appeals to the
test Of experience It makes promises and
offers blessings which everyone may prove
for himself. 1t offers forgiveness moral
health and strength, the assurance Of divine
favor and hope, the grace of perfect life;
in short, salvation or eternal life to all
in certain conditions. But we must be-
lieve before we can receive. It is not a
mere intellectual faith, although this is in-l
cluded, but a belief in Christ as a personal
Saviour; in what He has done for me: an
act Of the whole moral nature OF man;
trust in Christ, submission to Him, devo-
ton to lis service. THIS test is one easily

Prove All Things.

Professor Huxley once said that men Of
science no longer In justification by faith,
but in Justification by verification."
Here IS a man OF religion who teaches
Justification by verification' as we'll as
Justification by faith"
After Jesus Christ, the figure which
stands out most prominently in the New
Testament Is Paul the Apostle Here we
have man who was the greatest thinker
Of his age, II not Of any age. His writings
have been among the mightlest intellectual
forces Of the world, and are still growing
an their influence. In this respect he
rises sheer above all other evangeHsts and
missionaries. Some have approached him
Ia certain respects. Livingstone in the
world-conquering respect; Wesley in earn
estness and activity But few of these
men added single new idea to the worlds
stock Of beliefs, whereas Paul, while at
least equalling them in their own special
line, gave to mankind a new world OF
thought. His writings have quickened the
mind OF the church as no other writings
have done. Out of them have been brought
the watchwords Of progress in every re-
formation which the church has exper-
fenced. When Luther woke Europe from
the slumber of centuries it was a word Of
Paul which he uttered with his mighty
voice. And when our own country has
been revived from almost spiritual death.

who had rediscovered the truth for them
selves in the pages of Paul
What Of the man, whose writings have
been such a mighty force in the worlds
history The outstanding features of his
intellect, his marvellous memory, the
keenest OF his logic, the clearness and
depth Of his thought-were conspicuous in
everything that he wrote and spoke. He
was so great thinker that he compares
more than favorably with any thinker
before or after him. In fact, he towers
above the majority Of them Such is the
man; and can you wonder that he should
exhort others to prove all things?"
He is not the man to take things for
granted. What does Paul mean when he
says in our text: Proven? He means

special skill in applying tests, with view
to discovering what is real and what is
counterfeit in metals what is good coin
and what is bad coin. So we must ask the
question, How can we prove all things?"
1t would be we'll for us to remember
that such a thing as absolute proof Is
not possible. Probability is our guide in all
the affairs Of life. If this is SO in our
everyday temporal affairs we ought to
be satisfied with like evidence in matters
Of religion. Remembering this, let us ex-
tnine briefly one or two lines of evil
dence Let us see how Christ and Chris

fulness of Christ's life and character? The
character Is not described in words by
any of the evangelists or apostles. It is
revealed In his own words and acts Words
and acts of beauty, glory and power are
inseparable from Him. In the gospels
the writer's themselves do not speak. They
let the life speak for itself. A remarkable
feature is the unity of the portrait, despite
the fact that there are four different rep
reservations. How wonderful, too is the

the buckwheat cake. 1t is a good deal Of
work TO make the genuine article"
"A dame will put in two hours dragging
on her glad rags to go to a Broadway
restaurant to juggle a bundle of spag-
hett and nibble at a biscuit tortoni,''
complains Son, but she'd rather read the
riot act to hubby than nurse a batch of
buckwheat batter for a Sunday morning
splash of buckwheats."
Il wonder what a New York woman
would do if she had a family Of five or
six boys to feed hot cakes to on a winter
morning?" muses. Father. when 1 was
a boy, II each of us couldn't eat fifteen or
twenty cakes, mother would think we
we're off our appetite"
IF anything happened like that in this
little old town >" Son enlightens, wife
would go up on the roof and turn flip
flap into the North river. She'd rather
do that than flip flapjacks for a bunch of
guys with appetites like hired men,"
THE reason why men don't eat buck
wheats in New York then seems plain
observes Father.
Wedding bells will never Jingle for
your little Willie unless a buckwheat cake
recipe is pasted across the marriage GER
tficate and the bride signs a bond to bake
a batch of cakes whenever l make a noise

man can't sit down to a big meal Of sau-
sage and cakes and expect to catch his

IAN extra link Of sausage has many

admits Son. But because a man who lives
at Mountainville likes to pound the pillow
after the alarm clock rings. then eat

the station, is no reason why the rest Of
the world should hit up army rations."
