GREAT STIMULUS IS BEING GIVEN MINING
 ON LAKE BENNETT

Fred Story, superintendent of the Silver Queen & Ruby Silver Mining Company which is operating just east of Lake Bennett, five miles north of Bennett Station, came down last Fri- day evening on business and was here until Tuesday, says tho Whitehorse Star.
 The company of which Mir. Story is superintendent Is backed by eastern capitalists who have shown their faith in their Bennett property by Keeping development work going on steadily for the past several years.
 The results obtained from the de velopment conducted have proven SO favorable that work henceforth will be conducted on @ much larger scale than formerly. A new three-machine compressor is now being installed near the railroad at the mine station and power will be transmitted from It to tho mine 5000 feet up the noun tainside. New buildings are being put up and accommodations arranged for from thirty to forty men where but a dozen have been formerly employ ed. The showings made In an sOO- foot crosscut tunnel which is now more than half completed on the mine accounts for the increased facilities tor working the mine, the mineral In which is gold and silver Mir. Story expects to start shipping ore early In the spring.
 In addition to tho property above described, Mir. Story has secured oth- CT valuable mineral holdings five miles from the other mine, the newer property being rich in molyblendum of which there are three veins four six and fifteen inches in width but all SO close that a tunnel four feet wide will include all three While this latter property has not been ex- tensively developed, enough work has been done to demonstrate that there is a large amount of the mineral there and that it is of very high grade.

until he began to fuss and splitter.

lips-a moan that pierced the old
mans heart and the tears rolled
down his face.

aunt left it
Indeed it is, would you care to
come in? Nothing is changed,

t e door and took her in. Ruth
moved from one thing to the other,
sle looked at the furniture, the
pictures, at the old fireplace and
her thoughts travelled back to when
fire burned there and she, with
her aunt had been SO happy. Then
she went into her own room, every.
thing was as she had left. She
opened the wardrobe, there hung
her dresses, mostly gingham, a few
plain lawn. One by one Ruth ex'
amined them with tears in hel
eyes and Mike with the fine instinc,
of the Irish race left her alone in
her sorrow.

faithful Mike who sold the little
