now being driven from the main
south drift to reach parallel vein
to the west that was opened nearer
the surface in early operations from
the old Kramer shaft. This vein,
while of less width than the main
lode. yielded some good assays in
the course of a limited amount of
prospecting and it's general condi-
tion is regarded as favorable to
the presence of deposits of com
mercial ore
From indications nearer the sur
face it is estimated that this vein
will be cut within distance of not
more than 500 feet from the present
face of the cross-cut and when il
is reached it will be explored by
means of drifts and raises. In gen
eral character this vein is said to
resemble other veins of similar
trend east on the main Sandstorm.

and on the claims of the Cracker
Jack, to the east. in which pay ore
has been found near the surface and
at considerable depth.
In the south drift from the raise
above the 350-foot level some eX-
cellent assays were obtained at
point nearly under, on the veins
dip. the old banana slopes of the
early-day leases, and it is planned
to drive raise here to connect
with the old lease workings.

At depth of 1850 feet and at
point west of the foot-wall of the
great Atlanta vein, a station of
large size has been completed and
from this point winze will be sunk
to reach the 2000-foot level, with
laterals driven to explore the vein
on the 1900 and 2000-foot levels.
The station here is l 5 sets of tim
bers in length and of sufficient
height to accommodate the head
frame for the hoisting engine. A
compressor plant will be installed
here for the operation of machine
drills, as well as pumping equipment
of large capacity. insuring rapid
progress in sinking and safety from
interference from water. 1t is not
believed that there can be any seri-
Gus difficulty from water, as sinking
will be conducted in the country
rock and well out of the water chan

in the work at this point, as it will
serve to explore the great vein sys-

the alaskite zone.

Then came the marvel. the mir
acle, that struck wonder and terror
to the heart of the king. In the
furnace he saw -four men loose,
walking in the midst of the fire, and
they have no hurt; and the aspect of

Centuries before the promise was
spoken the faithful knew its realiza-
ton: "Lo, l am with you, all the

friends must go that His presence
does not accompany them. Our God

more than conquerors, to the honor

soul that stands true to it's highest
vision; loyalty saves those who pos

arose partly from the members
ignorance of tropical conditions,
landvalues, and agriculture, requir-

testified to hundred times before

another. The Panamanian members
have been wealthy businessmen who

a sudden death yesterday in conse-
quence of the order of Josephus Dan
iels, Secretary of the Navy, placing
new restriction against the Navy
League of the United States.
When the Navy began preparing for
war the recruiting officers made a
special drive for men who formerly
had been in the service. Things went
along fine until Mr.. Daniels discover
ed that many of these former service
men in discreet hours ashore had had
themselves decorated with tattoo
markings that should not be display
ed in the parlor of anybody's home or
on any respecting battleship
Mr.. Daniels Immediately issued an
order that recruiting officers should
reject all seamen who came along so
adorned. The Navy, he ruled, should
be very modest institution.
So the Navy League comes to the
rescue. Why not dress the women
that adorned the seamen who wanted
to tight? No sooner suggested than
done and the Navy League maintained
here an establishment which would
fix up tattoo marks free of charge for
men who wished to enlist. THE work
went morrily and successfully on for
weeks. then the order came from Mr.
Daniels to cut off the help of the NAVY

than that is used by the Old Testa-
ment to characterize disloyal and un-

back upon their allegiance. When
a person deliberately flies a flag, he
should stand by it. That is the great

Hebrews, Shadrach, Meshach and
Abedncgo, may not have done the

bowed to the image is forgotten; It
is as lost as the image itself. But
the three young men are q heritage
of heroism for the world.
That spirit of fearless indepen-
dence is rarer than we like to think.
A few years ago the mad mob spirit
burst from its home in the Iawless
pit, and seized upon the quiet
churchgoing town of Coatesville.
Pa. In an hour the bulk of the
American population had reverted TO
a condition of savagery; and the foul
and ineXcusable murder they COM

gree, affords opportunity for the
proving of real manhood, and for the
flying of noble flags.
