 CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec 15. - Mrs. Edna Stevens, aged 80, depart ed last night for San Francisco, car rying with her two gems for which she expects to receive 5000 from a firm of San Francisco jewellers These gems were given Mrs, Stevens as security for a board bill twenty years ago. She never heard from the owner again and supposed until recently that the stones were gar nets.
 A short time ago she showed them to a San Francisco lapidary, who classified them as rubies, and a few days ago a San Francisco firm wrote her. requesting her to bring the gems to that city, as it wished to purchase them. The latter stated the rubies were worth $3,000.
 Despite her advanced age, Mrs. Stevens insisted on taking the rub ies to San Francisco herself

AMERICAN DINING WITH GRAND DUKE BORIS WOULD sNUe
 MARJORIE PATTERSON.

PARIS. Nov. 2S. There is up- roarious fun among the smart set over a brilliant encounter between Miss Marjorie Patterson. of Balti- more, and Harry Lehr, at the Ritz hotel one evening recently Mir Lehr and Mrs. Lehr were entertain ing Grand Duke Boris at dinner and Miss Patterson was a guest of some friends at neighboring table Miss Patterson belongs to the family ot Betsy Patterson, who married Jer- one Bonaparte, brother of Napolan l, and sometime emperor Cf West phalia. Miss Patterson, who was had dramatic as well as literary as pirations, is an author of note, and is now engaged on book to be call ed The Dust of the Road" Her mother has been on very friendly terms with the Lehrs, so much so that she said to Miss Patterson Whenever you see Mrs. Lehr, go and speak to her.
 Following this matronly advice, the young authoress went over to the Lehr table. Her reception was as cold as charity. Eyebrows were arched and stony stares were given Later in the evening, MT. Lehr sought out Miss Patterson and said:
 We are sorry to have received you so coldly, but you know when we are dining with royalty, it IS not etiquette to speak to anyone else That was the Grand Duke Boris who was our guest
 T don't care if he was the Grand Duke Alexis" said Miss Patterson
 But you leaned on the back of his chair" continued Mir. Lehr, in a gIieved tone.
 Pm sure l did not mind if he didn't" said Miss Patterson. In truth the grand duke was delighted and when he had said goodbye to the Lehrs he sought an introduction to the bright girl from Baltimore
 The attentions of royalty have so changed MT. Lehr that he is no longer amusing and says that every one except royal persons bore him.

Marvellous Twins Exchange Sweet
 hearts, Who Didn't Know 1t. :.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Dec H. John Cobb Harris, wealthy Mans field farmer, came to Fort Worth to make new will, because he was unable to tell his twin sons apart. The will he destroyed gave John Harris certain property, and Cobb, the other twin, other realty, but Harris had divided his property just opposite to his own desires
 Harris sons are P years of age, and among the most remarkable twins in the country. Both are six feet six inches tall and mus cular. With their hats on their father cannot tell one from the other, but John is little more bald than his brother.

Good End Requires Good Means.

Let no man turn aside, ever so slightly, from the broad path of honor, on the plausible pretense that he is justified by the goodness of his end. All good ends can be worked out by good means. Those that cannot, are bad; and may be counted so at once, and left alone.- Charles Dickens in Barnaby Rudge

LEAD TARIFF LOOKS

Tho February bulletin OF the American
Mining congress has tho following TO say

reasons why. IN their Judgment. the pro-
Visions OF the Underwood bill. which re-

On manufactured lead. and IL cents per

be abolished.

RICH ORE IN TUNNEL

F. r.. Browne, general manager or the
California Big Chief Mining company,
With property located in the Hart, Cal.
mining district. has received some sam
pies 90 gold ore from this proposition
which p3rtake OF the character that in

the most picturesque desert stampedes

The samples were assayed In this city,
and Mr.. Browne received certificates
showing the presence of Ila2 end Ills

Little detail from the superintendent
accompanied the samples: he said merely
that they came from the face OF the drift,
and Mr.. Browne presumes that this rich

fractured zone across this property,
which Is filed with streaks and seams

extremely high values a rule, but the
entire zone will break down ore OF an
excellent milling grade average. and 1t
is the average upon which Mr. Browne
and associates naturally rely for tho fu-
ture.
In the earlier days OF the Hart district
the surface assays were very high in
gold, and bonanza yellow metal rock in
those days was the magnet that drew
millionaires IN automobiles as well as the
prospector on burTo. The district was
a botDed OF excitement TOT soma uIne Nll-
til the 1907 panic drew on, and with the
tight money conditions and with the re-
aliZation that Hart like all successful
gold camps, would be compelled to de-
pend upon its milling grades OF ore in
stead OF the Jewelry rock. the district be-
came practically abandoned until re-
Gently.
Mr. Browne recently visited the prop
erty and directed the new campaign OF
development work which now is result
ing so favorably, and he is preparing
the specifications for a hve-stamp mill
for the property. The exact process of
treatment remains to be determined in
large part but he expects to have every
thing in shape fer installing this plant
within the near future.
Other companies are operating In Hart
AT present and their success is as pro-
nounced as that OF the Big Chief, and
the camp should be brought down to a
highly useful production basis during
the present year.

MAY DAY DRIVING
INTO NEW LEAD ORE
Proves Company Has Not Yet
Exhausted Lead Ore Above
Tenth Level.

il was learned on wednesday that
there were very substantial grounds for
the feature character OF the May Day
movement on the local exchange and
when seen by The Tribune yesterday
General Manager John Dcrn stated that
Superintendent GriGgs had reported very
fsYoiably OF mine conditions On the
Io0-foot Lowell. and directly in line for
the silvcr-lend resources had some time
ago on the 400 and other levels. Mr..
C,rlggs has driven face into low grade
silver and lead ore, and all conditions arc
such. he reports. that this work should
bc in shipping grade lead orc within \
few days
The first assays sent 10 the salt Lake
Office by Mr. Grless showed from 2 10
3 ounces silver. . TO per cent lead and
less than Il dollar gold per ton On
Tuesday he reported streak measuring
one foot in width. the assays of which
El.20 gold and 20 per cent lead on picked
samples. Mr.. Deru feels highly Gratihed
AT this happy condition. but desired still
further development work 70 be done he
fore termlng the discovery worthy al
100 much emphasis.
This development goes 10 prove that
the belief that the May Day silver and
lead resources on and above the 1000
foot level have been exhausted Is fsl
from correct. and that this mine Is typi-
cal OF all Tintic propositions In that they
can never be termed worked out until
there remains no section untrted biz
enough to contain an ore body. The May
Lay mas been mining some new gold ore
for several months, and there were MANY
who believed the only hope OF ever find
ing silver-lead bodies again was in sink
ing to greater depth.
The May Day has experienced all tho
ups and downs of mining property dur
ing the past three or four years. working
itself into the dividend columns after
a long lean period, then falling back &c
the assessment class. passing through
many vicissitudes that would have tried
the patience and faith Of the averag SO
efficient management OF this proposition
is due all the credit for rescuing tho
property from this dark period. and II the
May Day can come back like it promises
the success OF the company will have
far reaching effect upon the camp and
local mining share market
