ing of the approach of Santa Claus
and the stops he made. These de-
lighted them until he read one
from Lawson that the sleigh had
broken down and that he might
not be able to get there. This
surely cast a gloom but when an
other was read that everything
was alright and he would be here
on time, happiness reigned ST.
preme. The children were lined
up in front of the opera house and
when they saw Santa Claus come
down the street in a sleigh the Joy
was at its heighth. They march
ed behind the sleigh to the Elks'
Club building and enjoyed hugely
the antics of Santa Claus and the
stunts of Father McCabe. After
this part was oyer each one re-
ceived sack of candies, nuts, etc.
and went home rejoicing. Tom
Richards was the Santa Claus and
he'ftted into the character to per-
fection. -Four hundred packages
Of the sweetmeats we're given out

highest praise for the interest they
take annually to makeo the young

By Booster Brady

in the good old fashioned way.
Just a little fond remembrance
from a dear one far away
With an earnest heartfelt prayer
for happy Christmas day
oh time I do not ask you to turn
backward in your flight
You have turned back again, am
a boy tonight
Yes, little Christmas package,
as l fondly gaze at you
I see little happy home with dear
ones ever true.
A mother, oh that blessed name,
with children full of gee
Shout ont the tidings of great joy
around a Christmas tree.
Again l am transported to the old
home far away
And l hear the soft breeze wins
per as we pluck the flowers in
May
Again l kneel in reverence beside
mothers knee
Again repeat the little prayers,
she nightly taught to me.
But ah alas the vision 5 gone,
wake up full of care
l know that time has placed tn
silver threads into my hair
But | love you little package tied
with tinseled thread so bright
For Just one hour you made me
little boy again tonight.
The Christmas tree entertain
: ment that has been an annual
event for many years, was a great
success. The town hall was
tastefully decorated and the school
children showed the careful train
ing received from our efficient
teachers. The Christmas tree, to
which the eyes of the young were
ever turned was a pretty sight,
with its glittering tinsel and many
lights, which added beauty 10 the
scene. After the entertainment,
the ever dear Santa came down
through the chimney and dis
tributed presents to the children.
Harry Cain made a delightful
Kris Kringle entering into the
spirit OF the occasion and created
amusement tor young and old.
Harry has the happy faculty of
creating a good fellowship where
ever be goes. After the presents
candy, nuts and fruit had been
distributed to every child the en-
tertainment came to close. We
hope the custom of an annual pub
lie Christmas tree will never be
abandoned as il is the means of
creating good fellowship and
Christian spirit.

The mining industry in tn

The mining industry in this
camp for the year Of 1918 shows
up in all encouraging manner. Ac-
cording to Fred D. Wiley of the
w. J. Chamberlain Ore Company
there were shipped out 1888 cars
of ore. This meant q tonnage 81,
200, the average value of which
was S25 90 a ton. The amoun.
paid out for this tonnage was
SSo5 900. During several months
the shipment for 1918 exceeded
that of several years by a large
percent. This is especially the
case with reference to the past
half of the year as each month
has shown a decided increase not
only owe the corresponding
months of 1913 but for years back.
While these shipments show
very healthy mining state yet ther
has been lots of development work
that will result in greater ship
ments in the future. Several good
mines have been opening up and
olearing out the old workings
as preparatory to extensive ship
ments. In addition to these nun
Der of the smaller properties have
been undergoing development
work with the expectation that
the year LOLA will see them in ac-
tive shipping.
