ACTIVITY IN
ATHENS DISTRICT
IS INCREASING
IEASERS ARE DEVOTING EF-
FORTS TO SECURE ADD
TIONAL DEPTH.
(By Special Correspondence

(By Special Correspondence
The past week has been one of
increased activity with the leasers
operating On the Dyer Bollinger
estate The results achieved have
been of an eminently satisfactory
nature with the most of the leas-
ers in search of the precious met
al. Messrs. Price and Weedman on
the Vulcher claim have concededly
the most flattering showing. Six
teen inches of ore at the bottom of
ten foot shaft is estimated to go
not less than SIS per ton, with
chances very good to go, even bet
ter. This lead is prolific of very
handsome samples of free gold
which are in great demand. The
shaft will soon be equipped in a
day or two with windlass, cable and
bucket which arrived last Sunday
from Manhattan. During the past
four or five days Mr.. Price has
been prospecting spur vein about
40 feet up the hill towards the
north and has found vein which
app ears to be approximately 6 in
ches in width and carries esti-
mated values of 500 per ton, ac-
cording to the Mornings taken for
a length of So feet on the strike of
the vein. The vein runs a true
northeast and southwest course and
dips northwest. 1t forms junction
at a point 80 feet west of the hole
in which Mr.. Price made the orr.
ginal strike of pay ore. In the
tunnel So feet east of the shaft;
the crosscut which is being driven
north is under cover II feet. The
formation is changing ami small
paintings for the last three feet
indicate the near approach OF tha
Dwyer vein in which Mr.. Price
made the original discovery an1
which Mr.. Weedman and his part
ner expected to cut in the next fivt
or six feet of work The vein wher
cut in the tunnal will give a verti
cal depth on the vein of between
25 and 80 feet and the chances
are very fair for a grade of ore
that will pay to ship.
The Price and Weedman and H
]. Hall leases last Thursday con-
solidated for the purpose of sink
ing one shaft instead of two with
two shifts employed in order tc
prove up their ground and start
shipments of ore forward as soor
as the first level at so feet is
reached. The lease has been fitted
up with windlass, bucket, etc. and
all the prospects are good for this
lease to reach considerable depth
during the present Forthcoming
month.
Fulkerson, Stevenson and Auxlei
number / lease on the Vulchei
claim of Dyer and Bollinger group
is losing no time in gaining deptf
in their Az x6-foot shaft which Is
an incline following the hanging
wall contact. The vein appears &c
dip 40 to As degrees southeast
The shaft is now down 35 feet and
is the deepest workings in tn
camp. Paintings from the vein a
near as can be estimated, av rage
$40 to $50 per ton. The 9@'ue'
are expected to run nearly To-
that amount when ASSAYS 'an 'e

Ancient Skates.

The English chrnnicler has recorded that the youth of London in the twelfth century understood ;ae art of fying over the ice like birds ill the air but the origin of skating Is far :uore an. cient. An Icelandic saga relates how the Norwegian hero Frithiof not only traced verses upon the polished mirror but also cut the dear name of lilye. bord. Skates have been discovered near Srandau. in Germany. which those competent to .express an opinion at. tribute to period of 5000 years ago These skates were made from bones of horses, figured and perforated to at tach to the sandal. Similar skates have be en found at Moorhelds. in Fins bury, and like discoveries have been made in Berlin iG the bed of the Spree These and similar discoveries, wt learn, enable the authorities to con. clude that the European ice area in prehistoric times extended from Great Britain to Finland and from Norway to Hungary.-London Globe.

Edible Flowers of India.

Many edible flowers, it appears. are to be found in India. One of the most appreciated grows on a tree about which we have very little information, but which in the country itself is named the 'mhowad." The natives consume an enormous number of these flowers, whosS pale yellow corollae are pulpy and thick, and they prepare them in various ways.
 When they are fresh they are put iu cakes. to which they give a sweet flavor, but they are more especially used for making bread after they have been dried and reduced to flour. By allowing them to ferment kind of wine is produced, and by distilling them a brandy is obtained of which the Hindoos are very fond.-Vulgarisa- uons Scientidque.

4 Horses Toe Nails.

Few pcrsons realize that a horses hoof is really the same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of anil mals hay ing toes. The horn of hoof grows just as a toe nail does. The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod horses than in those wearing shoes, and 1t grows faster in horses which are well groomed and well fed. But on an average the horn grows about third of an inch month. Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs. The too of the hoof being the longest part, 1t takes longer for the horn to grow down there than at the heel For in stance, the toe will grow entirely down in from eleven to thirteen months while the heel will grow down in from three to five months. As the new horn grows out any cracks or defects in the old gradually work down to where they can be cut of, just as with human finger nails you can watch the progress of bruise from the root to the tlp.- London Answers.

THE PRICE OF GENIUS,
What 1t Means to Man to Re . Pionee,
 In Thouoht,

10 be a pioneer in thought h to stand alone with nature, not for few minutes, but for life. The isolateness sf the few great minds of each gen. sratton of men is utterly undreamed ef, for want of understanding, by those about them. Yet think what It Is to pass ones days in a thought world where the thinker roams alone; to grapple with problems the very terms of which are beyond ordinary comprehension and the solution appre- ciated only in years to come; to con. template in lonely ecstasy, after still lonelier despair, the revelation that comes with months and more of pon. dering. When some one asked New ton how he came to make his wonder ful discoveries he replied, Simply by always thinking about them" Consid. CT Kepler toiling year after year fruit. lessly for some ratio that should link the planets motions by general law. calculating assiduously and putting hypothesis after hypothesis aside as he found it would not work until at last, after almost inconceivable toll. he hit upon the one that would.
 As if this loneliness by nature were not enough, 1t must needs be accen- tuated by man, for he rises in such cases in chorus to condemn. Consider Darwin, in patient study, testing the working out of natural selection and adding fact to fact, only to have the whole denounced as ridiculously ab- surd. Think you the denunciations of the master while living are wholly compensated by the plaudits after he Is dead? The loneliness of greatness Is the price men make the genius pay for posthumous renown.-Perciva Lowell in Atlantic,

Pretty Absentminded,

A book about George Canning and his friends contains among its anec dotes two which deal with Hookhan Frere and the observation-disclosures fol which he was noted. Frere married Lady Nrol, and while they were en. gagged he took her into supper at a ball. While they were talking he drank up the glass of wine he had poured out for her and then took hel back supperless to the ballroom. After the wedding he went straight from the church to NIT. Murray, the pub. fisher, who asked him to stay to din' ner, to which he very nearly agreed remembering only just in time that Lady Errol was waiting to start on the honeymoon"

Nc Wonder the Bird Was Not Tender

No Wonder the Bird Was Not Tender
 When Served.
 One of the most annoying things about swans is that they live to an extremely great age and that it is impossible for the ordinary observer to guess what their years may be. President Grover Cleveland once had an amusing experience with some swans, according to a writer in the American Magazine. He had been in the south shooting and brought home c number of wild swans, one of which he sent to each member of his cabi- net and to some other associates.
 "Au the boys." said MT. Cleveland, thanked me politely for having re- membered them. but none of them seemed to have much to say about how they enjoyed the birds.
 Carlisle, l found, had his cooked on night when he was dining out. Another, when asked him, said he hoped l wouldn't mind, but he had sent his home to his old mother. Thur Der didn't mention his bird at all for two days. Finally I asked him about 1t.
 'Thurber, did you get that swan all right?'
 "'Yes, sir-oh, yes, l got the swan all right, thank you,' and he bent over his desk and seemed very busy.
 "'Fine bird,' said.
 ".Yes sir, f1ne bird,' and he went on working.
 "'Enjoy eating him, Thurber?'
 "He waited a minute, and then he said: Well. sir, guess they didn't cook him right at my house. They cooked him only two days And he went on working without cracking a smile."

Fruits fall to the earth because tho earth attracrs them. Bubbles in a cup or tea stand around the sides of tho cup because the cup attracts them. The little bubbles gather about the large ones because the large bubbles attract the smaller ones. Why do the bubbles follow teaspoon? Because the spoon attracts them. Why are the sides of pond covered with leaveA while the middle is clear? Because tho xhore attracts the leaves to itself.
