AS we lay down our pen for the
year 1911 we would say in the words
of the writer, James Lucas:
Come, let us anew our journey pur-
sue,
Roll round with the year,
And never stand still till the Master
appear,
His adorable will let us gladly full
fiji,
And our talents improve,
By the patience of hope, and the
labor of love.
Our life is a dream; our time, as g
stream,
Glides swiftly away,
And the fugitives refuses to stay,
The arrow is flown, the moment il
gone;
The millennial year
Rushes on to our view, and eternity'i
here.
o that each in the day of his coming
may say,
l have fought my way through;
l have finished the work thou dds
give me to do!
o that each from the Lord may re
| ceive the glad word,
Well and faithfully done!
Enter into my joy, and sit down OF
my throne.

DEvLIN'S BOY MEETS
DEATH BY DROWNING

Mr.. and Mrs. Pat Devlin of Rose
Valley are the victims of sad be-
reavement which befell them
this week in the death by
drowning, of their infant son, Char
! $, which occurred last Monday fore
noon in the stream which passes hy

Just how the little fellow got into
the water, no one seems to know for
there were no eye witnesses to the
tragic event The first knowledge of
anything having gone wrong waswhen
Murray, 12-year old brother, saw
hat protruding above the surface
and near the opposite side of the
bank, which he recognized as the
one worn by his brother. Murray, VIII

sprang into the water, being close
ly followed by an Indian boy, both
being apt In the art of swimming.
AS soon as the two boys were In the
| water, Murray saw the body of Char
les come to the surface. Catching
hold of his clothes, Murray and the
Indian managed to get the unfortu-
nate boy to landing and to place
of safety. But too late, the last spark
of life had almost vanished.
A sad feature of the affair was the
fact that the father was away from
home at the time, he having come
to Phoebe to attend the funeral of
the late Marcellus Delmue. AS soon
as possible, however after the acct
dent an Indian was dispatched to in.

OLD-T|NE RESIDENT
STRICKEN BY DEATH

Lincoln county lost one Of Its
best citizens last Sunday, Marcellus
Delmue, who died after an illness Of
more than three months, following an
attack of paralysis. Although every
thing possible was done for him bS
relatives in the way of giving him
the best of medical care and atten-
ton, 1t was of no avail and the Mas
ter called him home at the dawn
of bright Sabbath day.
The deceased was an old-time res
ident of this county and highly res
pected by all who knew him. He cam,
to Phoebe in the early part Of the
SOS from Eureka, Nevada, and settled
with his brother, Joseph Delmue, on
the ranch at Engadine. He was past
70 years of age and native of Switz
erland.
The funeral took place from the

quies were largely attended and bus

ed. To be sure that we had made no
error in Weighing and sampling our.
products, we reweighed and re-samp-
led all concentrates and tailings, but
we still come back to the 1928 per
cent lead, and we found upon assay
ing the head sample taken In our
plant during the test run that this
showed 1850 per cent lead.
Following the report on concentra-
tion work will be found detailed
report on the cyanide work on the
vanner tails. The recoveries obtain
ed by cyanidaztion check very close
" to those obtained in our prelimi
nary tests, and show that this ma
terial is very amenable to such pro.
cess. The consumption of cyanide be.
inging LIS lbs. per ton, and from
samples taken during agitation Il
was found that Is hours agitation
was sufficient. In practice II is quite
possible that IL hours agitation may
show the maximum recoveries.
By Table vi, you will notice that
cyanidation RECEIVERS 4165 per cent
Of the gold. and l4.S per cent Of the

should be able to obtain from the

The final figures show that the con
centrates return s1035 per ton OF
crude ore, cyanidation $4.46 per ton
of crude ore, or combined return
by concentration and cyanidation Of
$14.S1 per ton OF crude ore, as agains

This difference being due probably e
the fact that the preliminary sam

We might state that we have rarely
handled an ore that has SO readily
responded TO tried out methods d
milling, and which gives such an ex
cellent return In dollars and cents.

operations go on unmolested. at
the Day mine, out at Jack Rabbit,
where work was started last fall as
preliminary in the operations

have been reguar; increasing since
November last-except for the short
period when the railroad was out of
commission. Reports which have
come from a reliable source, and
which are substanciated by increased
production, are to the effect that the
old Day mine is by no means ga dead
one, as supposed by many, but
instead is looking better than II
has at any time since the present
company began its operations
! PRODUCTION IN MAY
During the month OF May, fifty-si1
cars of ore were shipped from the
property and 1t is not unlikely tha
! this number will be exceeded dur
ling the present month. On the 325
foot level where stopping was begul
last November the ore still holds ou
and carries good values. Recent OF
erations ON the east side OF tn
