two officials step aside and leave him
alone. After few minutes had passed
by, one of them, out of curiosity, looked
to see what had taken place, and there
sat Lincoln, with his head bowed on
Jefferson Davis desk, his face in his
hands and his tears falling. And I
say that the angels Of God never
looked down from the battlements Of
heaven on a holier scene than that.
His great, sympathetic heart saved the
republic. That was the greatest vic
tory in the Civil war; that settled the
struggle; that bound the North and
South together, and Abraham Lincoln,
like his great Master, died of broken
heart. 1t burst with sympathy. The
greatest victory in those days of strug-
gle was that Christlike sympathy. The
greatest victory that is ever won on
any battlefield of human life, in the
hour when the struggle goes on, is won
through the wonderful element that
comes down from the heart Of Jesus
Christ-his own divine sympathy for
struggling humanity.-Cortland Myers.

Crude ores, 60 per cent, $780,; 25

Interest is keen over the final out
come in the Miner oil fields, the first
we'll of which has been shot. This well
is on the land of the Mid-Continental
Oil Company, about mile below Mil
ner and had been drilled to depth
of over 2,30O feet.
The year 1917 will see a more ex-
tensive operation of the coal mining
industry in the Trinidad district, the
opening of properties which have been
long idle and consequently the en-
ployment of a greater number of men
than has been employed for several
years.,
Lessees operating the Silver Ledge
property, located in the Red Mountain
district, about mile from the town of
Chattanooga, on Porphyry gulch, sent
out abnormal shipments of concen-
trates since the opening of the rail-
road The principal values OF the ore
mined is zinc, lead and silver.
Don Valdez, who is leasing a piece
of ground in the Madonna mine at
Monarch, has shipped four cars of
ore, which run high in lead. The lead
occurs principally as a carbonate with
some native lead among it. The ore
also carries a good per cent of silver
and the four carloads will net big
sum for the leasers.
The sale of the Sunnyside mine at
Silverton for $6,5O0,0OO is the most i'm
portant transfer of mining properties
in the San Juan section since the sale
of the the Camp Bird at Ouray. The
Sunnyside mills at Eureka and Mid
dleton are reported to be operating at
full capacity and are turning out large
quantities of concentrates daily. Oil
flotation and Huff zinc separator are
both employed.
An important discovery at depth has
been made in the Dillon shaft of the
Granite Gold Mining Company at Vic
tor. At the 1,600-foot, the bottom lev
ell of the shaft, the Bobtail vein of the
Portland system has been entered and
a drift has already been carried about
thirty feet in length, all in ore. The
vein is strong one, in places fully
eighteen feet between walls. Vice
President and General Manager G. c..
Hamlin confirmed the reported dis
covery and is authority for the state
ment that the ore as broken will ship
at one and one-half ounce gold or $50
a ton, at conservative estimate.

- Nellie Hastings. Nellie had
great, lustrous eyes. When Eel
don recited his own poetry she
would gaze intently into his face
with rapt expression, as if
thinking Of new hat she would like
to buy. And probably she was.
When he finished reciting she would
be silent a moment and then murmur:
'How exquisite !' She didn't say what
was exquisite, but Feldon thought he
knew. But would wager a little on
the hat.

knew Nellie, too, and felt sure her
union with Feldon would not be best
for all concerned. FeldOn was really
fine chap. He was original. He did
not even initiate other men in their
vices, as most otherwise original men
do. He had fine scorn for philander-
ing and eXcesses. He did not love to
eat and drink or indulge in any other
common appetite. His appetites were
spiritual. felt sure the girl for him
would have to be modern Pallas.
But that is just what he thought
Nellie was.
"She has a wonderful soul!" he
would cry. "It looks out Of her eyes.
Every glance is lyric, every steadfast
gaze perfect poem!'
When a man who tells you his love
is too deep for words gushes forth like
that about thirty times a day it usual

Still we tried hard, the family and L.
The family pleaded, stormed and
threatened. l tried sundry strategic
moves. But all proved futile. Feldon
and Nellie decided to marry in May.
They wouldn't be married in June be-
cause SO many people get married
then. 1t was early in February when
they definitely decided on the date, and
then the family and I lost hope. g
But a few days later he came in

calamitous news. His hair was di-

clamation Of profound disgust.

He looked up daZedly a moment.

his excitement flooded back.

He revised it dozen times every day.
1t was a truly beautiful thing when
he sent it away by messenger the
