GAY G. sTCRG,s GOSSIP.

The News Bureau says: The prob
lem i'm Indiana is as to whether the
drill has struck another Calumet
conglomerate as rich as Calumet and
many times wider, or has really pierre
ed the two Lake lodes. one Of which
has been developed in the Lake pro-
perty. and the second one cut by the
shaft, but as yet unexplored. All that
is known about the second Lake lode
is that the shaft has apparently cut il
the same distance from the Lake lode
that the shaft house is from the lode
at the surface. When the shaft house
foundations were put down copper
rock was uncovered to n considerable
extent, but this was not regarded as
significant until the shaft went through
the same formation at the same dis
lance from the Lake lode, yet 900 feet
below. Explorations have not yet
been made on this second Lake lode.
1t was rich at the surface and at it's
intersection by the shaft.
The piercing of second rich de-
post by the Indiana diamond drill 100
feet below the first richness gives
rise to the question as to whether In
diana has not really pierced the two
Lake lodes.
If this theory could be substan-
tiated it would mean much for the
four Lake properties as Indiana's de-
'velopment is Mt its northeastern side
and the Lake development is at the
southern side OF its property.
The proving of these two Lake lodes
over such an area would mean the
greatest copper find the world has
ever seen. But proofs will not be
geological theories. They have got to
be proved first by many drill cores,
followed by developments. The pro-
fessors Of geology who will prove up
on this theory will be muscle, steel
and power"

STRAIN RELIEVED
In L. & N. CIRCLES

A period of watchfulness that has

The cause of the unusual strain was

The New York Central was paid
something over $4,000 to handle the
train. The New York Central carried
the train to Cincinnati where the Louis

While in Birmingham the train was
the subject of unusual interest by rea

knew 1t was a race against death and
every person was keyed UP to the high

MOTORMAN IS HURT
BY CAN ON TROLLEY

A peculiar accident happened yester-
day when Street Car Motorman George
Strather was seriously cut about the
head by can full of water that was
suspended from the trolley wine by
rope. Strather did not see the can
in time to stop his car and. 1t is
alleged, the car smashed into the can
at almost full speed. The can was
hanging Just low enough to strike the
front window of the car through which
1t crashed and hit the motorman on the
head. Strather was severely cut by the
broken glass and bruised by the con-
tact with the can.
1t is believed by the police that they
know who placed the can on the troll
ley and they are awaiting word from
the injured motorman before they make
an arrest The vessel was a lard can
and was filed with water. which made
1t very heavy. How II was attached to
the trolley wire remains a mystery.
The accident happened at Avenue III and
Thirteenth street.
