MARY'S LITTLE HAT.
Mary had little hat,
But there. I'm really grieved.
There's no use finishing the rhyme,
1t would not be believed.

But We can make little guess,
And come within a mile.
When Mary had that little hat
Big ones were not in style.

Or maybe this though will explain
About that little hat;
1t only seemed small when compared
With Mary's little rat.

Mary may have really had
A little hat, but still
I'll bet that there was nothing
Very little in the bill.

If Mary had a little hat
The chances are that she
Had lots of peroxided locks
She wanted men to see.

Millinery Opening.
The fact that yesterday was elec-
tion day was one of minor import
ance To femininity in Ardmore-for
it was also the date for the annual
spring openings of Mrs. Clarke at
the White House ami of Miss Gray
at Ditzlers.
The window dressing at the White
House was particularly effective and
was the cause of much admiration
and many compliments. The idea
was most happy t~lu propitious one
"a woodland scene in early spring.
For the background a decorative
screen of trees and grass was used
with bits of bright blue sky and flee
cy clouds to suggest warmth and
sunshine.
On a gravel walk in the center of
the window, swung a rope swing, in
viting to rest or play.
On either side of the gravel walk
bloomed fragrant blossoms.
Hyacinths, in vari-colored tints
made a deliciously fragrant bed on
the right and clinging red rose was
a beautiful and artistic bit of decora-
tion for the background. The win
dow was of Mrs. Clarke's own con-
ceiving and expressed the beauty
of spring with a delicacy suggested
by nature itself.
Dainty souvenirs of the White
House in the way of a shopping
memorandum were pinned on by Miss
Sadie Hall and Miss Thurlow Ward
Souvenirs of fragrant sweet peas
were given by Mrs. Clarke
Palms and ferns were used in
decorating the shop and only natu-
raj flowers were employed
A stringed orchestra furnished mi-
sic and no pains were spared to
make the visitors comfortable, and
to see that they have full opportuni-
ty of seeing the styles.
Miss Clarke evidently spent her
month at market to a good advan-
tage.
Her hats have a distinctive air
and express individuality; the styles
are vastly dissimilar and she chose
several hats from each style she
says that expressed good taste and
bid fair to Ibe popular. Her hats are
charming and have already received
lavish compliments from the Ard
more ladies who have looked them
over
The flowers this year have reach
ed perfection. Future years may add
the perfume, but the form and color
can receive no further beauty.
The children's hats are exceeding
ly chic and attractive.
A large number of ladies called
during the day, representing Ard
more's most fastidious shoppers and
expressed themselves delighted with
the millinery showing.

When the town Of Hibbing, Minnesota,
was started about fifteen years ago, relates
an exchange, the only hotel was about a.
mile from the depot and the proprietor Of
the place made it rule to meet the pas

sad-faeed mules. AS soon as be had un-

He came in one noon, carrying two bowls

The Salt Lake Mining Review, one of
the best mining magazines published, in
four-page write-up Of the Banner Min
ing & Milling Co. here, states some very
interesting facts. 1t also shows five fine
illustrations of the property. A partial
reproduction of it follows:
'Itis only by conscientious effort, sys-
tematic and intelligent development, and
honest management that genuine success
is met with in mining operations Time
is factor in carrying out an enterprise
Of magnitude, as well as financial assist
ance; but with conditions favorable in
these respects, affairs must be ably and
honestly managed before the transforma-
ton Of prospect into producing and
paying mine can be accomplished. And
more, promoters and stockholders must
restrain their souls in patience if they
ever profit by their investments.
In this western country there are many
propositions which start out with every
promise of success; but, because of the
impatence of those who are identified
with them, the desire for dividends, for
profits months or years before there is a
reasonable chance for the development
and equipment of these undertakings,
large percentage of these are virtually
wrecked in their incipient stages. Now
and then, however, we cite instances
where there has been such harmony, such
confidence in a mining company, in its
property, and in its management, that
success is almost assured from the very
start, although several years may lapse
before the stage is reached where big pro-
duction and big profits are actually in
sight.
Such an instance is offered in the oper-
ations of the Banner Mining & Milling
company, Of Silver City, Idaho, in whose
property, of late, some wonderful dis
closures of exceedingly rich ore have been
made" "
In commenting upon the success which
has accompanied the operations of the
Banner company the Statesman OF Boise,
Idaho, says
Mining circles of Boise were treated
with genuine surprise recently when
Peter Steele, president and general man
ager of the Banner Mining & Milling Co.,
arrived in this city with samples of ore
from the mine located in Long Gulch,
close to Silver City. That this well known
mining man, who has worked assiduously
for the past five years to locate the famous
lead which was supposed to have thrown
off the rich float, which was discovered
by the placer miners as far back as % yrs
ago, has located that lead and that pro-
perty owned by the company, of which he
is the head, will eventually prove to be
the biggest bonanza ever encountered in
the state, is the opinion of all of the min

WILL PROVE RICHEST MINE IN NORTHWEST
Mining Men All Go Into Ecstasies When
Shown Samples Taken From This
Veritable Bonanza

ing men who visited Mr.. Steele in his
room at the Idanha yesterday and CON
graduated him on the rich strike.
The ore, which is free milling, was first
located on the lO0-foot level. For the
past five years this company has carried
on a vigorous campaign Of development
work, their objective point being to strike
at the apex Of this vein, which they had
every reason to believe was in that section.
Last September the first signs were shown
when stringers of ore indicative of some
thing bigger were unearthed. The com
pany worked ON and recently ran into the
large ore body, which is SO rich that it is
very difficult to tell just how enormous
the values are.
The samples which were taken from
the face of the vein along its entire face
of 250 feet, show free gold in large guam
titles. What the extent of The vein win
be and what it will show with the further
development which is now being carried
on, Mr.. Steele would not even hazard a
guess. He stated that he knows that it
will be the biggest thing the state has
ever heard Of, and declares he will start
the mill when the weather opens in the
spring"
In discussing the mine and the rich
strike, Mr. Steele said: II feel that we
have the goods. The samples which you
see here run SO high that I don't know
myself yet what they do really run to.
This property will, without question, be
the biggest thing in the Northwest. | am
not saying this for the purpose of selling
any stock, for we have none for sale. We
have put up our money and have worked
hard for all this, and it is not our intent
or purpose to sell any of the stock. Il has
been hard old uphill pull and there
were times in the past few years when it
looked as though we would have to quit.
| was satisfied that we were on the right
road, and encouraged my associates as
best | could with the assurance that some
day we would find it. When we first
struck some of the ore you see here, 1
was then positive that we had the goods.
and we kept right on developing. We
have opened up the face for $50 feet and
the vein from which this has come is four
and one-half feet wide. 1t is not kidney
or pockety and there is enough of it right
now for us to run our mill for one year.
1t also extends to the 30O-foot level, and
| am almost certain that we will strike at
the l00-foot or mill level We are in on
the mill level 200 feet and l expect that
we will strike it about 250 feet further.
While the company is well capitalized
and has 100000 shares, I am proud to
say that there is still 300, 600 shares in the
treasury Of the company. This shows
that every cent which we have been able
to raise has been put into the mine.'

PROGRAMME
Intensely Interesting
Affair Prepared by
the School

The patriotic celebration prepared by
the teachers and pupils OF the public
school was very well attended considering
the inclemency Of the weather, and the
program, embracing February features
was listened to with great interest and
pleasure by the parents and others inter
ested in what is being done in the schools.
Space is lacking for mentioning all the
separate pieces and for giving the names
of those who deserve praise for the man
ner in which they delivered their various
parts. There were some wonderful dis
plays of ability in memory, especially on
the part of the members of the third grade
who had learned by heart and recited in
concert long extract from 'Hiawatha. 2
Every pupil in the primary room had a
part to take-eyen the little boys who
started to school this year with only few
English words in their vocabulary, and
their efforts showed the interest with
which they have been inspired for their
school work and the patience and pains
which their teacher is taking for them.
Although it is more difficult for older
pupils who have reached that sensitive,
self-conscious period to be led to take an
interest in public speaking, yet they fur
nished a number of recitations and two
orations, one on the birthday Of Washing
ton, the other, Lincoln's Gettysburg
speech, that we're well delivered.
When the pupils pieces had been fin
ished, DR.. Schuyler was called upon, as
member Of the school board to make a
talk. He responded promptly by saying
that as the patriotic part of the occasion
had been very well attended to, he would
deliver an elocutionary selection to amuse
the little ones. His take off, on the
colored preachers sermon about Noah
Ark was received with enthusiasm by
the older ones, while the children gave
way to unrestrained outbursts Of merri-
ment.
Mrs. Avery next being called upon re-
sponded with some very appropriate
remarks, well calculated to encourage
pupils to take greater interest in such
educational opportunities as were offered
by public celebrations.
The audience joined in singing America
which closed the program. Many fingered
for awhile in the primary room, in re-
sponse to Miss Whites invitation, to see
the decorations and busy work Of the little
ones, whose faces beamed with delight
when their work was praised and they
realized that they had done something
worthy OF commentator Of the visitors.
1t is occasions like this that make pupils
who acquaint themselves with merit ap-
preciate the inspiring sentiment Of the
lines:
"Whene'er whole deed is wrought,
Wbene'er is spoken noble thought,
Our hearts in glad surprise
To higher levels rise. -

items G. d. StoIlings, who is well known
around Silver, is taking the short course
in mining offered at the University this
winter. The Misses Esther and Lillian
Evans, formerly Of Silver City but now Of
Mountain Home, are enrolled at the
University.
G. O. Heedum started early last Sunday
for the mines on Boulder creek
in which he is interested. He thinks a
great deal Of some Of the properties in
that district and says he believes it will
some day prove to be one the richest min
eral producing sections in the entire state
Of Idaho. Lots Of hard work has already
been done on the properties and the as

the way the house was kept in a roar Of
laughter and excited hand-clapping left
little doubt that the patrons all felt they
were getting their moneys worth. Comic
duets and late parodies interspersed with
dutch, irish and black-face specialties
were put on SO rapidly that there was no
time given to lose interest. Mr.. McCleary
certainly demonstrated that he has no su-
