What the Past Season
Has Shown.
DEVELOPMENT WORK GOOD
Some Of. the Properties That
Will Work This Winter.

The development work the past
summer in the Ten Mile district
has opened up some exceptional
ly fine prospects that are now
being turned into mines. :,
i. Among tbese are the Gilt
Edge, Buckhorn, Gold Bug and
Silver Crown, which properties
all join, with the Gilt Edge and
Gold Bug on the same ledge.
These properties are now being
further developed =, excepting the
Buckhotn, on which a deal is
pending. :,
At the Gilt Edge they have
drifted west 100 feet, and are
now drifting east, so as to find
the extent of their ore shoot be-
fore they commence sinking
again. 1t is the intention at
present to put on a hoist and
sink to the 300 foot level this
winter, besides doing consider
able drifting on the different
levels. In the east drift, the
crushed quartz or pay. streak is
80 inches. wide, and it is reported
pans better. and richer than any
thing yet found on this property.
The full width of the vein here
will not be known until they
crosscut. At present the COM
pany are erecting a store house
and stable and prepareing for
the winter.
On the Gold Bug they, have
started to drift on the ledge,
which was cut some two weeks
ago. The ledge at the crosscut
has some 80 feet depth, and is &
fine, clear cut one, 8 feet wide,
with tale parting on both walls
The ledge matter is a porphyri
tic quartz, and carries well dis
tributed values, and pans good
On the Silver Crown, Howard
& Lackie have opened the ledge
across the creek from the ole
workings and are getting some
good ore; it pans well and theil

do considerable work this winter

Jim looked at her helplessly, then
shook his big, stupid head.
"Ain't that h-l?"
It seemed such short time to Jim
since he had picked her up, cooling
babe, at her dead mothers side. He
watched the tender, averted face.
Things had turned out so differently
from what he had planned.

that he had ever heard that sharp note
in her voice. Her tiny figure was

about me, you'll never see me again."
Jim was perplexed.
II mean it. Jim. I've made my
choice, and I've come back to you. If
you ever try to fix up things between
him and me, I'll run away-really and
truly away-and you'll never, never get

He shuffled awkwardly to her side

tiny fingers.

portals Of the big top.
He was peeping through the curtains
which had fallen behind her and was
getting his first glimpse Of the great
sawdust world beyond when one Of
the clowns dashed from the dressing
tent on his way to the ring.
The clown was late. He saw the
limp coattails of the deacon, who was
three-quarters in the tent. Here was

He grabbed the unsuspecting little man

Strong. He disappeared quickly around

Douglas.
Elverson was thrust from the tent

Jim and Douglas had barely left the

little deacon glanced exultantly about
him. He was monarch Of all he sur

''She isn't ill.," Douglas demanded
anxiously, oblivious to the gruffness
in the big fellows voice.
"She's all right" Jim answered
shortly as he shifted uneasily from
one foot to the other and avoided the
pastors burning gaze.
"And she's happy, she's content?"

Douglas had walked up and down in

fighting against desire to do the very
thing that he was doing, but to no
purpose, and now that he was here it
seemed impossible that he should go
away so unsatisfed. He crossed to Jim
and came determinedly to the point.
