There are two YstS dogs living out in
q small country town which are the best Of
friends and yet are just As different as
they can possibly he. Their names are
Jim and Mike Mike is quiet and lazy
and loves a warm fire ana comfortable
rug more than anything else IN the world
Jim IL full of energy and go. and would
rather be ont of doors in the cold than
ANYTHING he knows of Jim is neat, trim
little fellow. with crisp white curls. and
tail perpetually erecs. while Mike has
black, straight hair. and slouches along
the street.
Their chief difference, and the one this
story really started to tell YOU about. is
how Jim loves a bath and how Mike hates
one When Mike gets ~ dirty that his
coat is positively green with dust his
mistress may innocently remark:
"Well Nix, guess you'll have bath to-
day"
Instantly Mr.. Nix sinks Off. and when
they get the water ready and the soap and
towels and come 10 look for something to
battle. behold, Mike has entirely disap-
peared. and can be nowhere discovered

A CHARMING EASTER FAVOR.

A birch bark cup filed with violets and
tiny spring ferns makes a charming favor
for Easter time. and the idea may be well
coined by those who have grown tired
Of rabbits eggs and chickens. The bark
will not hold water, but the flowers vii
usually keep fresh if their stems are stuck
into moistened moss. Little china custard
cups may be slipped. II preferred, into
the birch bark holder. Place each little

uncovered He admits that some very
rich float similar TO that which has

believes that the rich ledge will be
run to cover before the season closes.
In the meantime Bud Barkley has
nothing to say regarding the affair
He maintains that he knows where
the ledge is but i, not directing any
one to the find.
Undoubtedly Barkley has found
something from time to time. lie
has brought TO this city and to Vir-

Making Ready
For Winter

Jim McCallum is hauling lumber to
the United Mining Company's prop
crty across the river. The company
is running crOsscut on the 4OO level
and considerable good ore has been
encountered. 1t is the intention 10
do considerable drifting this winter
from this level In order to make
everything ship shape for the winter
months new quarters are beng erect
ed and placed in first-class order for
the storm period. The company is
certainly deserving OF success as they
have carried on the only real mining
in the district and have equipped tor I.
siege of good development work. 1t
is expected to continue work through

EASTERN INVESTORS
INSPECTING PROPERTY
United Mining Ground to be Visited
by the Stockholders

There has been no noise made
about this work or property. 1t hao
been case Of dig and put the money
in the ground. 1t is the only real
development work that has been car
ried on in miner-like way in that
particular section. 1t is also the best
shaft that has been sunk on the east
side of this city and valley.
There is every reason to believe
that the property will be in the pro-
duclng class, as many stringers have
been uncovered in the development
and some excellent surface showings
are to be found in many places on
claims owned by the company.
Mr.. Cowden is no stranger to this
city. He has been endeavoring to
prove the property he IS interested
in and through his work has made
many friends who hope that success
OF the biggest kind will crown his ef-
forts. The ground he has acquired
is situated in district that gives
some very high assays both in gold
and silver and copper. 1t is the first
time that an attempt has been made
to do the real thing in mining. The
members of the party will find lot
of interest in that district as it has
the indications of making good to
those who put their money and faith
in the Ground

guessing for years on this property.

specimens filed with native copper
