be able to return to Montpelier as
an instructor in our school.

the town people who so willingly
helped to make the affair so success

Flag Of Denmark.

The national emblem of Denmark
which is the oldest in existence, dat.
ing back to the thirteenth century,
was born of war, and the legend is
traceable to the fact. In battle be-
tween the Danes and the heather
Livonians, King Waldemar declared
that he saw a cross in the sky. The
news was communicated to his troops,
with the assurance that the portent
was the sign of celestial aid. The
cross forthwith became the national
emblem, ''The Danneborg," strength Of
Denmark, as 1t was called.

GIANT LEDGE.
Drift Should Be Under Steen Shaft by
tho First of the Year.

tno FIrSt OF the redr.
Charles G. Taylor manager Of the
Giant Ledge Mining company, was in
the city yesterday. He reports the
drift on the 400 level to get under the
Steen shaft progressing satisfactor
lily and he expects the objective point
will be reached by the first Of the
year. The footwall until recently has
been followed, but the ground became
so hard that 1t was decided to swing
out into the hanging, where better
progress Is being made. Some lead
ore has been found continuously and
Mr.. Taylor says values also run from
$3.50 to 81 in gold. The drift will be
100 feet below the bottom Of the Steen
shaft. in which there Is reported a
large body Of ore that will average
SIT in gold for width Of IL feet.
In addition to the gold ore being
sought, the Giant Ledge has shoot
of lead-silver ore on the 200 and 400
levels 200 feet in length, most OF
which is described as excellent mill
ing ore, and the prospect of develop
ing a large body Of this class Of ore
by drifting easterly into the mountain
is highly promising. This is the opin-
ion Of engineers and geologists who
have examined the property, and the
exploration Of this ground will be
taken up when the present work Is
completed.
