Alex Singlctary returned yes lcrday from his properties on Avery river in the Port Wells section very much encouraged ov- CT the prospects. He will return on the Brighton on Tuesday, talk ing with him number of men when the actual work of dcvrlOp- ment will be begun.
 Alec. is made of the stuff that wouldn't know failure" if he ran up dead against it in the open daylight. With limited means and an unusually good prospect he has begged away until now, when he begins tO see the light of dawn.
 Close by his property, which, by the bye, is a strong ledge car rying $ii quartz, is an immense water power, of which Singlctary has harnessrd up eighty horse power, applying it tn an ovrrshot wheel. He has about completed an araSiIa, With which he hopes to handl" d half or more tons d day, which, lIr thinks, will give hint sufficient returns ln enable him iO develop his property iT- io a mine. The power is all in- stalled and the arastra will be ready to grind by the time of his return.
 Development, since the open ing of the season, has more than justified Al. in all his work. He reports that two stores are build ing at Golden and that d road house will be opened there short ly.
 The Davis people are working on their ledge near Golden, where | they have d good sized dump O' rich ore.

Rose Matilda's Madam.

Rose Matilda entertained pro-
found admiration for her MADAM" as
she called pretty, lively Mrs. Brown.
Everything that the plump little lady
said or did or wore was perfect in
the eyes of Rose Matilda, except her
preference for certain tall, slender
lady, with whom she spent much OF
her time.
"Ah does WISH" said Rose Matilda
one day, as from the window she
watched the two women going down
the street together, "dat Madam
warn so fon' oh dat Miss JONES'. She
so awful tall an tin she de very an.
tipones OBJ nah Madam. Jes' look at
dat! See how she tramp way wit
her long steps an NAH po' III Ma
dam a'-tryin' her bes' to keep up
and then, a little later as the young
women reached street crossing and
were stepping up upon the opposite
curb, the pathos of the situation
seemed to strike her even more forci-
bly,, for she was heard to soliloquize
tenderly and with deprecating shake
of her woolly head: "Dere goes nah
po' III bunch a-tryin' TO- all she wo'th
TO git up on de sidewalk"
