These odd birds cling to the sides
of the chimney, and to rough places, as
sisted by their spine-like tails, and are
never seen to alight on the ground, be-
cause they would be unable to arise

Of rolling twitter, which is quite

The Chimney Swift is about an inch

these people showed that they were to be ciasseo
with the wiser ones.
Wise Billy had been hit on the head when he
was nothing more than toddler and 1t was the
blow that set his mind cropping for things that 1t
could never fully grasp. Bowmanville, while 1t
is a part Of great city, has green fields and
great forests yet untouched by the ak Of natures
tyrant. Billy roamed the fields and threaded the
forests Like Little Hiawatha he learned of the
birds and the squirrels their secrets. They were
playmates that never made sport of his mental
shortcomings. He loved them and they loved
him The streams beyond the little stream which
farther in its course becomes the chicago
river, the haunts of bobonks 1t was
there that the Italian bird catchers hired by the
big city dealers in the habit of setting their
traps to catch rollicking Robert of Lincoln that
he might be cooped up in a by cage to pine
away a few brief summer months for the sup
posed pleasure of someone whose ideas OF liberty
did not include bird and beast
One afternoon the Italians set their traps all
the meadow with captive bird in the lower
compartment The men went to hedge by the
roadside to watch results. They saw boy start
keen jump across the meadow. His feet
winged. Before the trappers could realize
what up the lower door of the first trap in
line open bobolink was freed and the trap
itself crushed mass of wire and sticks.
They tried, but they could not catch this grey
hound of a lad He liberated twelve birds and
smashed twelve traps, and then shot into the
Budlong woods. 1t was Wise Billy who had done
this turn for his bobolink friends.
Wise Blys father and mother sent him to
school. The teachers did not want to receive
him, but he quiet and he showed shortly
that impression could be made upon his disor-
dered mind. He knew about the pictures
than he did about the words, but in the course
of a year or two he wrote sentences disjointedly.
1t poetry that Wise Billy loved, especially
the poetry in which the words sang of birds and
trees and flowers. 1t was an inspiration to hear
Billy repeat Bryant's "Bpbolink and the Lines
to a Waterfowl" There was place In his heart
seemed to speak to some little sound section of
his muddled mind.
Wise Billy reported at the school one morning
that he going to be poet He stood at his
desk and made the announcement out loud The
pupils laughed and laughed. The teacher tried
to look kindly, but there was bit of merriment
in her face. I'll bring some verses and show

Wise Billy had found friend. He was a man
who tramped the field with round box in which
he put leaves and flowers and with opera
glass through which he stared at birds. Billy
had come across the stranger the rivers

was picking marsh marigolds. Billy told him
he would show him where there were some pret-
tier ones If the man would promise not to pick
them. The stranger seemed struck by this ap-

The Acme, as it will be known in
the future, the name having been sub

be the scene of as great activity as Is

One Of the most important and
richest discoveries at great depth in
the Cripple Creek gold mining dis
trict has been made on the property
Of the Gold Dollar Consolidated Min
ing Company on the eastern slope Of
Beacon hill.
The tenth annual report Of the Jer-

and shows production for the year of
value of $S6.136.66.

Of prominent mining men. who for
months have been cognizant of new
development that has opened rich

seemed to be pinching out.
Production OF gold in the United
States during 1912 amounted to $685.

compared with the previous year, and
the lowest American production since
1907. California led the states in gold
production. putting out $2S.00S.000:
Colorado came second, with S1S,74l.-
200. and Alaska third, with SIT 7,198, 600.
A new ore zone. rich in gold val
les. at an altitude above sea level Of
about $500 feet, is another marvel OF

been demonstrated in the last twelve

camp on earth" is to become greater

According to a report from Spokane

til the ore shoots showing in the up

THE oREANo.
Drifting on the Vein in Progress With
Encouraging Results.

The lower tunnel on the nreano.
situated on the divide between Cam
yon creek and Nine Mile. above the old
Mammoth workings Is now in up
wards of 300 feet. It is a crosscut tun-
mel and some time ago cut what now
appears to be the main vein. although
it was not 50 regarded at the time It
was encountered At that point IT
appeared little more than seam in
the walls of the tunnel. About three
weeks ago drifting was started and
the seam has now widenod into a well
defined vein between two and three
feet in width The vein filing consists
Of quartz and iron with sprinkling
of gaena all through. The vein con-
tinues to widen as the drift advances
and gives strong indi, ations Of ap-
preaching an ore shoot. 1t Is possi
BILE to attain depth Of 500 feet on
the vein in this drift.
The Oreano has the distinction "
being the only property IN the die
trict that uses steam instead OF COM
pressed air to operate it's drills. The
exhaust from the drill Is carried
through hose back into the air pipe.
The only serious objection to the use
OF steam Is the heat which is quite eX-
cessive.
