STAGE LINE ABANDONED

An unexpected turn of circumstance es has caused the Moore Brothers & Emerson to abandon their projected summer stage line from Brawley to Warner Hot Springs and Julian MT. Moore, who has been seriously i'll, has sold all his stock and will go out of the valley, seeking a restora- tion to health, and MT. Emerson has so many calls upon his time that he has decided he cannot undertake the operation of the proposed stage line. This will be disappointment to many valley people who had contemplated taking the trip overland to the noun tain regions.

line of the Argonaut ground, and pene-
trates the vertical boundaries OF the
Muldoon, but that no part of this vein
is part of the Muldoon mine.
The ground known as the Pioneer
millsite lies north of the Muldoon
mine, and the land is alleged to be en-
tirely non-mineral, except where the
Pioneer lode in is downward course
passes underneath the surface of said
millsite. II is admitted that in 1893 the
Argonuat company sunk shaft within
the boundaries of this mill site, for the
purpose of intersecting and conveniently
working the vein or lode whose apex is
within the Pioneer ground. This Shaft
has been sunk 1900 feet, and intersects
in its easterly course downward the
lode 300 feet from the collar of the
shaft; that the defendant has been work
ing its mine through said shaft by right
of ownership of said Argonaut or Pho
neer mine. That all ores removed from
its underground workings within the
surface boundaries of the plaintiff S
ground downward vertically belonged to
the Argonaut mine, and no inclusion
whatever was made thereby upon the
territory of the plaintiff.
1t is alleged that levels of the Argonaut
at the 1860 and 1890 feet were eXtened
more than five years ago short distance
south of and beyond the extra lateral
boundary of the Argonaut vein, encoun-
tering no ore whatever underneath the
surface of the Jackson mine. These
levelswere driven through barren ground
to reach mineral bearing ground OF the
Arognaut beyond and to the south of the
property claimed by plaintiff, and for
extracting ore from defendants own ter
ritory. The 1860 level has caved in,
and is not now in use. The 1890 level
has been used exclusively for the pur-
pose OF trammng the ore from its own
ground to the shaft of the Argonaut.
The allegation of the complaint that
Argonaut for three years last past has
been extracting and mining ore from
other than its own mine is de1ied.
1t is alleged that the mining opera
tions of the plaintiff have not extended
below the sou foot level.

The Worlds Sorrow Carrier.

Thus in the simple story of the events

twelve years of joy. and the sorrow OF
the suffering woman, increasing during
twelve long years. For both SORROWS the
Master was ready with comfort and help
comforter and helper of those who mourn
the death of one who has brought joy

knows how to give just the help needed

The Lifted Horizon


cal powers they saw limitless life

ages of eternity. BY that same lifting
of the horizon they were made aware of
preceded Jesus into the other world as
well as of the glory that awaited their
companions. even though some should be
burned at the stake because they be-
lieved in and preached Jesus and the
resurrection.
The immediate and most marked effect
upon these disciples was great acces-
sion of joy and power. The same belief
can work the same results for us living
nearly two thousand years later. We,
too. are often oppressed by the appar-
emily inSuperable boundaries of human
life. The night threatens to shut down
before our work is half done. There Is
far too little time in which to love and
serve our own. We are in a fever be-
cause We cannot read more of the new
books and the old ones, too Some al
Turing field of research beckons US. but
before we have begun to exhaust IL the
clock strikes. More painful still is the
reflection that to discipline and complete
our characters, to smooth off the edges
and round off the corners, TO recover the
ground lost through sloth or negligence.
to atone for our moral lapses is work
that requires for its doing more years
than We can reasonably expect.
The gospel of the lifted horizon changes
all this. 1t tells us that we have time
enough, not, indeed, for idleness or dis
sipation, but for all the work God gives
US to do time to learn all the things
essential for our peace and progress:
time enough to serve our fellow men day
by day; time to commune with our God
and ascertain more perfectly His will
for us.
And this gospels sweetest message
deals with that country the outlines of
which are at least family revealed
through Him who crossed and recrossed
the line that had hitherto shut off earth
from heaven. 1T tells of the knitting up
of friendships severed here of the wiping
