narrative, il too wildly eXtravagant
and prepOSterous to be Haunted III the
face Of he reader without preparation.
Sarah was crying over her bill OF
fare.
Think of New York girl shedding
tears Oh the menu card.
TO account for this you will be al
loved to guess that the Holsters were
all out, or that she had sworn ice
cream Off during Lent. or that she had
ordered OuiOns, or that she had just
come from Hackett matinee. And
then. all these theories being wrong,
you will please let the story proceed.
The gentleman who announced that
the world was ali oyster which he
with his sword would open made
larger bit than he deserved. 1t is not
difficult to open an oyster with
sword. But did you ever notice any
one try to open the terrestrial bivalve
with typewriter: Like to wait for
dozen raw opened that way!
Sarah had managed to pry apart the
shells with her unhandy weapon far
enough to nibble u wee bit at the cold
and cammy world within. She knew
no more shorthand than if she had
been graduate in stenography just
let slip upon the world by business
college. So, not being able to stcnog,
she could not enter that bright galaxy
OF office talent. She was Il free lance

Of copying.
The most brilliant and browning feat
of Sarah's battle with the world was
the deal she made with Schulenberg's
home restaurant The restaurant was
next door to the old red brick In which
she hall roomed. One evening after
dining at Sclupnlerg's forty cent five

away with her the bill of fare. 1t was
written in an almost uhreadnble script,

you began with toothpick and rice

day of the week.
The next day Sarah showed Schulen-

viands temptingly marShaled under
their right and proper heads. from

AGAIN SACkING.
HIGH GRADE At
CLIFF0RO'S CAMP
PAY SHOOT DISCOVERED IN
GLtSitI HOLE AT DEPTH
OF 30 FEET.

Word was brought to town yes
terday by parties who had just
passed through Bellehelen that the
Clifford family, who have been
working increasingly on their prop
erty at that place, have caught up
with the lost pay shoot at a depth
of 80 feet in the glory hole and
are sacking ore that is fabulously
rich.
Already thirty sacks of this stuff
have been gathered together and
the yield is increasing as depth is
gained on the shoot
AS will be remembered it was
the discovery of gold on this prop
erty about year ago that caused
the stampede to Bellehelen, but de-
spite the immense amount of pros
pecting and development that was
done, nothing of any consequence
was found other than that opened
up in the Clifford glory hole. Work
at this point. however. yielded prof
it's that are variously estimated at
$50. 00G and over.

DIVIDENDS WILL GO TO
THE VOLUNTEER FIRENIEN

As was made known by the re-
port of the financial committee of
the Fourth of July committee
the Fourth of July celebration,
which was published in yester-
days Bonanza, there was 80 left
in the treasury after all the bills
were paid, and it was decided to
divide the amount among the SUBJ
scribers to the original fund. On
the suggestion of one of the reel
rients of the dividend, however
the other parties to the division
were consulted and with but one
exception it was agreed to donate
the whole amount to the Volunteer
Fire department.
The volunteers at the present
time owe the local banks in the
vicinity of $500, but with the ac
QUESTION of the $500 from the
Fourth of July fund this indebted
ness can be reduced to mini
mum.

NEARS ORE SHOOT
ON BOOTH CLAIM
CROSSCUT ON $50 LEVEL Is
RAPIDLY NEARING SUP
POSED LEDGE.

The Weber lease en- the Booth
has sent it's crosScut on the 2o0-
foot level in about 120 feet and IS
now nearing the downward extern
sion of the ore shoot that it was
forced to abandon on the 15O-foot
level. On that level, some three
months ago. the leasers opened up
strong ore shoot at its apex
The ore was ''spotty," on the level,
and Wine was sunk into the
shoot, showing that it increased in
size and value with depth. A flow
of water and the impossibility of
working the shoot through the
winze caused that level to be aban-
doned, and the shaft was put
down 100 feet deeper.
The ore on the 150-foot level
was rather bunchy, but there was
"a good tonnage of $50 to $50 ore
found at that. The face of the
latter on the 250-foot level is now
showing stringers of quartz. some
of them containing punches of grey
copper and the leasers expect to
open the vein within few days

ployed on the crosscut.- Goldfield
