Skating Fond Lighted With Natural Gas. I'alouse, Washington, boasts of the only skating pond in the state that Is lighted by natural gas. Since the discov ery by H-irl Rnbards ol gas under the Ice, when the discoverer was badly burned by gas, it Is not uncommon for the skater to priik a hole in the ice and by applying a match produce a llame that frequently reaches six feet in height and gives a blight light. A number ol thtse experi ments being made in quick succession gives the pond a fairly good light. I. K. McCorii.uk, cashier of the Security State bank, hid his mustaihe and eyebrows singed while watching one of these ex periments. Mr. McCornacU is six feet tall and the 11 lines shot up higher than his he id. I'alouse Is greatly excited over Hie discovery. Present Nd in Three Pert of Ore. I hr report was brought down from i,)u irtlmrg Monday by a gentleman who had been In the Present Need mine, that there was then over three feet of high grade ore ill thr face of the drill, and that the vein was lontiuulng to increase In width and Hie ore in value. Phis is a gain ol nearly two feet since our report two weeks ago. Superintendent Reee has good reason to wear a bland smile, but no excuse for giving the Miner man the "nothing new" stand off when asked for news a day or two before. Prairie CityMlnrr.

I THE SUMPTER MEAT MARKET Al'SIIN Ml: A I CO., Props. Butcher and Packer Fvsi iiiiif Cured Mtils iiml Smi&w of all Kinds SUMPTER, OREGON I , uc ".incv tir-'. r-.tit r mimcc T COMPANYowns three fullclaims and water right on big Limber Creek, in the Cable Cove district. The ledge has been stripped for two hundred feet from the water course and traced by means of open cuts to the summit of the mountain, jooofeet, or the length of two claims. The company is capitalized at 1,000, 000, one-quarter of which is treasury stock. So far as prospected by these surface workings the ledge has an average width of seven feet. The ore is an iron pyrites carrying gold, (its principal value), some silver and a small per cent of lead and copper. Thirty or forty assays of this surface ore have been made, from sam ples taken across the vein, and the low est returns were 14.61. the highest 49.62, averaging better than 20. Across the creek, on the Gipsy Queen group, where extensive development work is being done on the same ledge, by a Boston company, at a depth of 60 feet, samples from across the face of the tunnel assayed $64.92. These. workings demonstrate that the per centage of lead increases with depth, as well as the gold values, making the ore easy to treat. The Gipsy KingGold Mines Company will begin at an early day to drive a tun nel, which will cut the vein at a distance from its mouth of from io to 60 feet and at a depth of about 15 teet. When the tunnel reaches the ledge, it will turn and drift from that point in ore that will doubtless pay to ship. For the purpose of raising funds with which to prosecute this work, the first stock offered for sale has been placed upon the market. Fifty thousand shares are now offered at FIVECENTS.no more nor no less. When this is disposed of the price will be raised. Every share of stock, except that placed in the treasury, is pooled for one year from January 1, 1901, so that this statement can be relied upon as strictly true, The market will never be Hooded with Gipsy King stock. Orders for blocks of less than ;oo shares are not solicited. All money should be sent to the treas urer of the cbmpanv, J. H. Robbins, who is president of the First Bank of Sumpter.
