PromUing Quartz Property Under Systematic Development. IU Permanence Demonstrated. The Golconda, a quarts proposition ol most encouraging appearance, situated on the Applegate near Provolt and about 12 miles from Grants Pass, is being systematically developed under the direction of A. C. Taylor, president of the Golconda mining company and principal owner of the property. The Golconda is not a new discovery as eeveral old tunnels and ruins of fotmer workings bear witness, but the old work was superficially done; the rich, free milling ore near the surface was "gophered" out and worked in arrastrea and considerable money has been taken out by such operations. The present work is being done at the 130 foot level, a drift of 120 feet having been run from the shaft. At this depth the mine gives overy indication of per manent excellence. The vein vanes considerably in width at ditleient places but has an average width of fully two feet. The, assays run from $12 to $.10 per ton, principally in sulphnrets, yet giving values of several dollars per ton in free gold. The ore lies in two main veins, at this depth about 40 feet apart., Petween these are a number of smaller stringers, all however, trending toward the main veins and all indications aie to the effect that the veins unite at a greater depth in one ore body of large dimen sions. From the foot of the. shaft a drift has been run on the vest vein about 'M feet, then a ciosscut 40 feet long was made to the east vein and the drift con tinu ilon that vein. This last is the scene of the present operations and has now been run some 40 feet from the crosscut. At this point the vein shows a good ore body, highly mineralized and giving assays which average fully $15 per ton. On the west vein also, the drift is being continued past the cioss cut aud the ore has even a better appear ance here. Thu vein is traceable on the surface some 1500 feet and the "pay chute" has been shown to be at least ;100 feet long. With the amount Tif ore actually demonstrated to be in ex istence, its high average value and the flattering prospects for improvement at a greater depth, the Golconda may be looked upon as a sure proposition and a mine wilh a bright future. .. With the adjoining claims, the "Golden Keward" and the "Golden Prom ire " the Golconda has been in corporated and tho development is bring steadily carried on. Teachen' Institute.

Only 5 Jc at Dr. Kreuier's drug store. 1WAS sitting alone in the test, watching the others play tennis. At least I professed to be watching them. As a matter of fact, I was day dreaming. The dreams I may as well confess it were about Itob Chalmers and mysr'.f. He had paid me marked attention during the fortnight that h had been staying in the neighborhood. Some one roused me by slogging a ball into the tent. When 1 had thrown, it out and settled down again I noticed that a couple of men were talking on the bench just outside. One voice was dear old Col. Warden's. The other bo longed to a stranger the gentleman who was staying with him, I supposed. "Just fancy Hob Chalmers coming down here!" mid the stranger. "1 shouldn't have thought there was any thing at Furaway to attract him." I smiled contentedly. He had seemed to find something. "Oh!" said the eolcnel, "I dorv't know. If he likes a couutry life, you see?" "I shouldn't think it was the least in his line. He's a regular society man, knows all the beat people." "Does he? I should hardly have thought er " "Well, you see his wife " His wife! The tent seemed to w hirl round me. I lnt the conclusion of the sentence; also the reply. When 1 recovered the visitor was speaking again. "A niece of Lord Hevlngton," he said. "Awfully pretty woman. The belle of her season. He carried her off from a regular crowd of fellows, some how or other. Quite a love match." "He always had a good way with women," remarked the colonel, with a laugh. He had a "way" with one woman I knew. "A jolly good fellow," declared the stranger, emphatically. "I can under stand anyone liking him," ' I heard them walk away and join In the Isabel of merry voices. Some one came into the tent and asked nit to make one In the next game, but I pleads.) a headache. The excuse was true, 1 '.liink; but I wasn't Slice about the headache or anything. "How could he have been so cruel!" I kept thinking to myself. He had seemed so frank nnd open. It was pnrt, I sup posed, of his "way" with women. I derided lo go home and avoid meet ing him u.ivtil I h:id recovered a little, but before I could carry out my reso lution I heard his quick step upon the gravel path. I set my lips and made another resolution. He should not have the satisfaction of thinking that I cared. "Why!" he cried, with his merry laugh, "there isn't anything wrong with the ground after all. I thought It looked invfully uninteresting till I saw this side of the tent." I Kinlled nnd made room for him. "I wonder," I inquired, "whether you really think that I believe all your pretty speeches? Come now, do tell me." "Don't I say them as If I mean them?" He tossed his cap Into a cor ner nnd stretched himself lazily. "Oh, d'iir me, yes! You have an admirable 'way' with poor, helpless vMiiitiin. 1 heard some one say so the other iliiy. do you know."' He pulled his mustache dubiously. "1 should he satisfied If one woman thoiiL.rhl so." He looked down upon me with a smile. He is big, even when he ik kilting. "0:y one?" "Only one." "Of course, you say that to all of them. It is p:irt of the 'way.'" He folilnl his hands across his knee and coiisiilcretl the matter. "Would you like me to record a sol emn nlliriii'ition upon ths subject?" he ihquiri il. "Mure of the 'way!' Ileally, Mr Chalmers, you ore excellen-t." He re Lr:i riled me carefully and grew rather grave. "I am afraid," he remarked, at leiisrth, "I h a ve done something to dia pluise y ou." 1 looked at him innoceti't ly. It hurt me to meet his eyes, but I did not flinch. "The we.ik spot of man," I pro nounced, "is his vsnlty. Ht considers all his doings of Interest pleasing or displeasing to others." "To his particular friends," he nir reeled. "Am I honored hy inclusion in Hint cnti in ?" Vesterdny the question won'il 1'aie :iripr:ired needless. To-day It set II .4 Itli.tiul.

"I concede the 'pleasant,' " I said, with a smile that was not intended to look genuine. "Do you mean that we haven't ahown most of our real selves? That ws have just played a play?" "You know we hare,'' I said with an air of frankness. "It has been great fun. I really have enjoyed It immense ly. Hut I am not such a practical actor as you, and I am getting a little tired of pretending." He drew his breath sharply. It occurred to me that perhaps he really had cured a little. "I do not understand," ha aaid. "Surely you don't mean you can't mean that you have merely been pre tending to tie good friends with me?" "Of course not," I said, lightly. "We're excellent friends, I hope. Hut friendship has certain limits." Tht night before he had held my hand ever so tightly in ths dusk, and when we parted he tried to he almost Oh, well. I'll tell the truth. He kissed mt. "Is it absolutely impossible for friendship to grow" He touched my hand, and I drew It sharply away. "It depends upon persons nnd cir cumstances, of course," I replied, cold- iy- "Do you mean," ha said, atrrnly, "that you have no thought for mt be yond mere friendship? If ao, you art the most heartless" I drew myself up stiffly. "llealiy," I said, frigidly, "you carry the 'way' too far, Mr. Chalmers. There Is a point at. which it becomes an in sult." "Insult!" He stood up and towered over me. "Inaultl That I love you. That I oh, I am a fool lo tell you!" "Foolishness," I said, meaningly, "Is pardonable. 80ms things are not. De ceit Is one of them." He looked down at me for a moment. Then he smiled a wintry smile. "Deceit," he agreed, "is one of them. I do not think I shall ever be deceived by a woman again." He looked to angry that it seemed to me that perhaps, after all, he had really fallen in love with me a'little. It was wrong, wicked, inexcusable; but I was glad, glad, glad I I must find out, I resolved. "Tell me honestly," I demanded, "If you can drop prrtense for once " "You have no right to speak to me like that," he interrupted, furiously, "Hnve I not? Have you not known piyfectly well, all along, that you would never, never be anything more to me thnii a friend?" "I think," he said, "that you are the" He stopped abruptly. "I don't like to any hurd things to a woman," he slated, after an interval. Then we . were silent. There was a sudden burst of con versation whsn ths game came to an end. "They will he making up another set," I said. "Won't you join them?" . He took a quick atep to the opening of the tent. Then he turned. "For (iod'a sake, Five," he Implored, "tell me that It Isn't your real self that is speaking this evening. If you knew how much I eared for you, if you un derstood " "I understand," I said, quietly. "Haven't you down In tht bottom of your heart jt one little bit of love for me? When I love you so much my dear?" I tried to say "No," but I couldn't. I clenched my hands fiercely and bit my Hps to keep from crying out aloud. Oh, he should never, never know! Aft er n few seconds, that seemed an age. the others came to the tent. "Ah. Miss live." said the colonel, "I knew that you were hiding here, but I wouldn't disturb you. It me Intro dues another Mr. Hubert Chalmers, the cousin of our big friend here," I rose mechanically, "He is coirhig to settle down here with his wife and Why, what is ths maMcr, my dear?" "I I feel faint," I said, feebly. I dropped back In a chair, and everything grew misty. Hone one ran for water, I think, and the two Itohert CJuilmrrs lifted me, chair and all, into the open air. I soon recovered. Then they lifted me back again into the tent, out of the cooling breern. They insisted upon carrying tne, though I knew I could have walked. Then I began laughing nnd talking, and they went off one by one, till only Hob my Hob was left. He sat down on a chair aome distance from me, nnd looked out through the openinrr nnd didn't ast-ak. I thought of several thugs to say, but they didn't seem the right ones. So I waited a few minutes for hi 111 to begin, but he didn't. He looked so hurt lint I felt I couldn't wait any longer. "It is nwkwnrd," I remarket, feeb ly, "that you and your cousin have the sniiie name. , "ft is hot unusual with cousins," he answered, indifferently. "No o, but " I looked at 111 in Bp- pcnlinclv.
