Supt. Callaghan, who is in charge of the development work on the Alice properties on Shoup bay, came in town today to ship 10 pounds of orc to Vancouver, which he took out of a hole sunk upon the hill. No attempt was made to select the ore, but in- stead it was taken as if came from the hole.
 The quartz is literally streak cd With gold, and while no assays lave been made, it is easy iu see that if carries values far in rX- cess of $l ,0O0 to the ton.
 Mr. Callaghan siaIrS that he will have the machinery Inc or drrcd shipped within the coming month, consisting of a G0-horsc power boiler, engine and hoist of GOO feet capacity, besides a compressor and air drills. While Mr. Callaghan has not been able as yet 10 do very much develop ment work on the property, he feels that the showing made is sufficient to warrant the placing of the necessary developing ma chincry on the ground.

HAS HISTORIC PAST
Harper's Ferry One of the Coun-
try's Interesting Towns.
Quaint, Picturesque and Almost
Foreign Village in the Shenan-
doah Valley Has Promi-
nent Place in History.

Harper's Ferry, Va.-Among the
many interesting towns in the Unit
ed States, none is more quaint, pic
turesque and almost foreign than
Harper's Ferry. Everywhere the new
screams at the old, while the old
retaliates with silence, conscious that
its appeal to the imagination is pre-
ponderant. Through the business por-
ton of the little town, runs Susque-
hanna street, extending from the sta
ton to the river from which it takes
its name and uniting with the road
which extends for many miles down
the valley. The first impression
gained of the town, is from this
street, and if one is looking for the
modern City Beautiful disappoint-
ment will surely result for this an
cient street has tales to tell, and me.
mories to cherish.
1t is history which claims atten,
ton, even before the station is out OF
sight. Hardly ten steps distant is
where John Brown took refuge in the
old engine house. There, too, are the
tablets which tell all about it, though
the Fort" itself, after visiting the
Worlds fair at Chicago, amd rusticat-
ing for a few years at Kate Fields
summer home on the Susquahanna,
has now found permanent abid-
ing place on the grounds of Storer
college.

was in the early part of the last cen

without envelopes, or stamps, passed
through it's portals, and when in 1912,
the army of England invaded the
land, the hostelry served as head
quarters for a panic-stricken coun-
tryside.
Yet this is not the oldest spot.
Farther down the street looms a cot
tage whose shining coat of whitewash
bellies it's ancient timbers. Part logs
and partly of rough-hewn boards, the
small house once served as a village
inn, before it's older looking competi-
tor had dreamed of entering the
field. 1t was here that Washington
and some of his officers were several
times entertained. It is now the
home of Uncle joe"
It was earlier still that the town
received its name. When Robert
Harper, native of Oxford, England,
came to the place in 1747, there was
already a man in possession, a squat
ter named Stevens, who lived at
''The Hole" in Shenandoah street.
Harper, in love with the beauty of
the location, bought out Stevens, set
tied in his house and established the
ferry from which the town takes it's
name. In 1775, or whereabouts, he
erected the old brick house on High
street, in which he lived till his
death in 1882, and which, half-buried
in ivy, still stands, fitting monu-
ment to the good judgment of the
old pioneer.
Ten years later, when the govern
ment needed a site for an arsenal,
Washington chose Harper's Ferry.
In those days water power was even
more important than it is at pres
ent, and in this particular the loca-
ton was unrfvaled. The place could
be easily fortified, and it was near
enough to the new capital at Wash
ington to be quickly reached. Though
the rocky bed of the Potomac and
its swift current precluded naviga-
ton, canal was feasible and was
soon under construction. The canal
is still in good condition and for |
many years has been owned and used !
by the Chesapeake and Ohio com |
pany in transporting coal from Cum |
berland TO Georgetown.
The Shenandoah, Daughter of the
Stars which unites with the Poto
mac at Harpers Ferry, is no less
swift and rocky than it's companion
stream, and like that 4NIordly" river,
it's waters have been long used for
industrial purposes Mill races were
of a rifle factory. -four mill, etc..
remains, a subject Of question and
