A RICH man was lying on his

worth anything" he always said when
people reproached him, and now, as
death was approaching, he thought:
of course, it is just the same in
Heaven. Money is everything there,
too I must take my money with
me"
He called his children together and
said: MY last wish is that-that you
will fill my coffin with gold Put in
all It will hold"

In the last six weeks l have

shows by her actions that she

How can ! find out whether she
really loves me or bring her to
understand the true feeling that l
have for her? A. w.
1 am quite sure she holds that
phantom actor before you to torment
you and that she really cares fol
you. Don't let it worry you. If she
is a sensible girl she will soon out
grow such foolish notions.
Tell her you love her. Don't ex-
pect such an avowal from her unit
you have made II first.

MULLAN COPPER MINE
MAKES GOOD STRIKE
SNOWSTORM STRIKES GOOD ORE
BODY BETWEEN NOS. 8
AND 4 TUNNELS.

Very recent development in the
Snowstorm mine, the copper producer
near Mullan, has an important bearing
on the entire copper producing section
of the Occur dAlenes Good ore was
encountered In a drift from an upraise
between tunnels Nos and A. The
importance of this lies in the fact that
1t Is the greatest depth at which ore
has been found In the property, and
while as yet 1t has not been thoroughly
explored. 1t will no doubt give line
on the occurrence of the ore body from
No. 4. Sinking had been done from
No. 3 and the upraise was to complete
the connection. This strike seems to
confirm the existence of the ore bodies
at depth which have proved so ex-
tensive and so profitable in The upper
workings.

TANKS FOR UNWATER|NC

There arrived in the railroad yards
at Wallace, from Pittsburg, this week
two enormous tanks, said to hold about
1000 gallons each, intended for use ir
the unwatering of the Frisco mine
Bailing tanks handle water very rap
idly where big volume is to be lifted
as at the Frisco. Parties familiar
with that character of work state that
II will require four months steady
work to clear the mine Of water. It is
1400 or 1900 feet deep, with vast
amount Of ground open in the many
Slopes and drifts, which themselves
were the work Of years.
A job similar to this was done at the
Tiger Poorinan some years ago IT
was current report at that time that
it cost $4,000 to unwater that prop
erty.
The work of getting ready to resume
operations at the Frisco was begun
some weeks ago and 1t is said that be-
tween thirty and forty men are now
at work there oVerhaul1ng ana maxine

The shaft was originally sunk from
