Fifteenth Psalm

* Jehovah, who shall sojourn
- in thy tabernacle1
Who shall dwell in thy holy hill ?
9 He that walketh uprightly. and
worketh righteousness.
eAnd speaketh truth in his heart; /;
8 He that slandereth not with
his tongue.
Nor ooeth evil to his friend.
Nor taketh up reproach
against his neighbor;
4 In whose eyes a reprobatc is
despised,
But who honoreth them that
fear jehovah;
He that sweareth to his own
hurt, and changeth not;
He that putteth not out his
money to interest,
Nor taketh reward against the
innocent.
He that doeth these things shall
never be moved.

promising propositions ever opened
in that district. Mr. Henry Cole nn |

shipped short time ago which gave
returns of three an1 one half ounces
in gold per ton. 1t is reported
that the Maple Leaf is showing up
better as the developing progress
better than ever and the future of
this property is assured to the OPP
orators who nre arranging to sin K
the main shaft to the. d"pth of
thousand feet. Mu-h gold is found
in the ore being mined which is all
plated while the other values con
sist of sulphides that are caught as
concentrates upon the Whitley table
with which the mill is equipped.
The Gunnison gold belt is ali
right and all that is necessary to
make big mines there is practica!
management under the use OF
modern mills now in use for saving
gold that is found in many hig
veins and ledges existing in this
mineral belt.
MIR II II Morris An old time
miner and prospecter has charge
of the Gold King property and IL :
