With the Consolidated mill prae-

160 tons of ore per day and the ore
reserves in the mine daily increasing;

Grizzly Bear SHAFT
NOW THE DEEPEST
in THE DISTRICT

The shaft on the Grizzly Bear lease
is now down ITS fce., and still a-going.
A station was cut in the shaft at about
1850 feet, where some very promising
stringers Of ore, containing black
oxide of copper and famatinite, as well
as heavy iron pyrites, were encountered,
but no development work is in progress
there. The leasers are after the june
tion of the st. Ives and Jumbo vein
systems, and when the lease was start
cd, it was figured that the shaft would
have to go to about 1900 feet before
ore could be expected, unless some alb
solutely unknown shoot was encount
cred. Some of the quartz stringers that
have been cut since the 1000foot mark
was passed are promising of paying ore
deposits.

SIMMERONE LEiSERS
SACKING SOME ORE

The Simmerone Development conf
pany, operated by Messrs. McNaughton
and Davis, of this city, is doing large
amount IF prospecting on the S0-foot
level of the old Simmerone workings,
where some immensely rich ore was ex-
tracted during the early days CT the
camp. The operators at that time lost
their ore shoots, and Mr.. McNaugh:on,
who has charge of the operations. and
has long been familiar with the prop
crty, is trying to. again pick up the
ore. A very promising stringer of ore
is now being followed, and the ore from
about foot vein is being sacked for
shipment, graded to about 800 per
ton.

MICH Development ON
MERGER GROUND BY
ACTIVE LEASERS

There is much activity on Merger
ground at the present time, three
leases being in active operation, and
another to start extensive work very
soon. The Ford Mckay lease is taking
ont some stringers of fair ore from a
low grade vein, and underground de-
vclopment is being done to pick up the
downward extension of an ore shoot
from which the leasers have shipped
some ore.
The Higginson lease on the st. Ives
has installed 22-h. p. electric hoist
and gallows frame, and is starting work
on an old shaft where ieasers did some
work in early days. Work is just start
ing on this property.
The Pennington lease on the Velvet
is being steadily operated by small
force of men. Developments on the
Jumbo Extension ground by the Gold
field Annex lease make the Pennington
ground look very promising, although
il is probs BILE that the shaft, now 400
feet in depth, will have to go down to
$50 or 800 feet, to the level where the
Goldfeld Annex encountered the ore.
The Codd lease on the ST. Ives will
be started soon, and it is the intention
Of Mr.. Codd and associates to sink to
500 to 1000 feet, and do extensive de-
velopments at the deep level. The
5e.h. D. electric hoist recently discard
ed by the Grizzly Bear Leasing com
pany will be used ON the Codd lease.

ALARM OF FIRE

An alarm of fire about 10 80 O'Clock
Saturday morning caused a ripple of
excitement about town. The fire was
located at the Reading Iron works. II
was only a small blaze caused by a
spark from one of the furnaces lodg-
ing among the timbers of the roof.
When discovered the blaze was rap.
idly spreading, but the mill has ex-
cellent facilities for fighting fire and
the employees have been we'll drilled,
so that in an incredibly short period
of time the mill hose was brought in
to play and stream of water turned
upon the fire. In less than five min
utes from the time it was discovered
the blaze was extinguished.
When the fire was discovered the
whistle at the mill was sounded and
this in turn was followed by the fire
bells. The Continental and the Friend
ship Fire companies responded, but
each learned that its services were not
needed before it reached the mill.

BUILDERS HEARD FROM

The three new county bridges, res.
pectively at Cotner's, Sechler's and al
Maust's, contracted for last year but
not erected, will be built during the
next few weeks. The iron work was
shipped on March 24th.
The contract called for the compile
tion of the bridges last fall, but owing
to unforeseen delays the builders were
unable to get out the material before
winter set in.
The county commissioners Tuesday
received word from the Nelson -Merv-
dith company, which holds the con-
tract, explaining that the material has
been shipped; also that man repre-
senting the company and having charge
of the work will arrive here in the
cnnrsa nf weak or ten davs when all
three bridges will be erected as quick
ly as possible
With the completion of the three
aforementioned structures Montour
county will be pretty we'll fixed in the
matter of bridges. So far as determin-
ed at present no new ones will be need
ed this year. -.. -

esteemed woman of the first ward, died
at the home of her son, Robert Paugh,
No. 213 Railroad street, at 80 O'Clock
Tuesday morning following pro-

sixty three years of age and is surviv-
ed by two sons-Robert and Daniel
Paugh of Danville-and two daugh-
ters, Mrs. James Jones, of this city

Mrs. James Connolly, widely
known and esteemed woman, died very
suddenly at her home, North Mill
street, about one o'clock Saturday aft.
ernoon, death being due to hemorrh-
age of the lungs.

church work and looking after the
sick. ...... ....

uusal health. She spent the forenoon
with others in st. Joseph's church pre-
pairing for the Easter services. She

HOUSE BOAT LAUNCHED

Druggist o.. NJ. LenigeT Tuesday
launched his house boat, which was
hauled up onto the river bank when
the stream closed with ice, last fall
The snug little craft will receive a
thorough renovation, including some
new paint, after which it will go into
commission for the season.
The house boat, which is elegantly
appointed and Is propelled by gas
olene engine, represents new depar-
ture in summer outings, conceived by
Mr.. Leniger. The unalloyed pleasure
derived from the trips up and down
the river last year has convinced the
druggist that he has the right idea.
The low water during the last half
of the summer interfered somewhat
with the pleasure, it is true. Fearing
similar conditions may prevail this
srmnar Mr. T,erirer will start early.
1t will be only few days until he
will be prepared to make, his initial
trip. He will be sure of several months
of delightful weather with the river at
about the proper stage. Several long
trips are contemplated, ..s. ..,.

35 YEARS IN
ONE LODGE ROOM

Goodrich Post No. %, G.. A. R., is
moving from the rooms in the second
story of the Krebs building to the
third story of the Gross building, near
ly opposite on Mill street. The veter-
ans in their new quarters will be OBJ
liged'to climb one story higher but
they console themselves with the re-
fiection that they will have more com.
modious quarters and will profit by
the change in other ways.
What invests the moving with es-
pecial interest is the fact that the post
occupied it's quarters in the Krebs
building for the long period of thirty
five years. The sole objection to the
building seemed to be that the rooms
were too small.
The post enters the Gross building
under five-years' lease. 1t has the
entire third floor embracing the whole
building, .one-half of which, OH the
ground floor, is occupied by Lore IS

been installed III the third story. The
walls are being repapered and the
woodwork repainted. Besides, carpent.
ers are at work making such changes
as are necessary to accommodate the

The third story lends itself admir-.
ably to the arrangement. Besides 4

CHILD DIES AS
RESULT Of BURNS

The home of Charles Knorr near the
old fair ground was the scene of a
shocking accident Saturday afternoon
when the clothing of an eighteen
month-old child took: fire and the lit
tie one was 80 badly burned that death
ensued eight hours later.
Mrs. Knorr had been burning some
rubbish. She thought the fire was ex-
tinguished, but it appears that some
live Goals remained. The child was
playing near and, it appears, fell upon
the fire. When the plight of the little
one was discovered its clothing was a
mass of flames.
before the fire could be extinguished
only few shreds of clothing remain
ed upon the child and the flesh over
the greater part of the body was burn
ed raw. DR.. Paules was called, who
did all that he could for the little suf
ferer, although he realized that the
burns were fatal. The child fingered
until about 10 o'clock Saturday night
when death came to its relief
The child's name was Albert Henry
Knorr. The funeral will be held at 2
O'Clock this afternoon from the family
residence. Interment will be made at
Lazarus church near Grovania.

DELIGHTFUL EASTER

The climatic conditions, which have
made the present spring a marvel still
continue with no signs of marked
change. With such ideal weather as
Sunday Easter naturally took on a
charm that the day does not always
possess.
The churches were we'll attended.
Indeed, seldom has such an outpouring
of the people to the several houses of
worship been observed ON Easter The
services, appropriate to the resurrec-
tion of our Saviour, were very impress
sive, the music especially being a
beautiful feature. AS rule the church
auditoriums were elaborately decorat-
ed with flowers.
During the afternoon, especially aft
er the hour of Sunday school, large
number of people turned out for a
stroll and the sidewalks on many of
the streets presented an attractive and
animated appearance.

BLOOM GETTING BUSY.

Base ball, and good base ball at that,
and on first class ground, is assured
for Bloomsbury this season.
For the past week a committee has
been selling stock in the new athletic
association, and sufficient money has
been raised to assure success to the
plans. The stock is being sold at So
per share and no more than five shares
are sold to any one person. A meeting
for organization will be held Wednes.
day evening, when a board Of direct.
ors, manager and assistants will be
chosen.
In the athletic park. which council
recently granted permission to fence,
Bloomsbury will have ball park that
will compare favorably with any in
this section. The ground occupies a
whole block, from Centre to Iron
streets, between 9TH and Sth, opposite
to the Columbia county Jail. On this
grounds back in the late sos and early
COS occurred some of the famous old
time base ball battles between Dan
vile and Bloomsbury.
The ground will be fixed up in first
class shape, fenced and grand stand
erected to seat 1000 people.
