THANKSGIVING
The Summer leaves from the trees have
fallen,
Leaving them brown and bare :
The buds and flowers have disappeared,
And hushed the vapory air.
The fruit has ripened on the trees,
The corn been gattiered in,
And golden pumpkins yielded their
wealth
To overflow the bin.
Our homes arp Ailed with God's rich
gifts;
The time at last is here
When we should thank the Holy Giver,
And prove we hold them dear.
We, take his gifts of joy and wealth
With thanklessnes8 each day;
Our time is spent with daily toil—
We have no time to pray.
Think of the many sorrowing ones,
Burdened o'er with care:
Think of the many aching heartB,
And offer for them a prayer.
O, Let us all send up our praise
To him who givetii all ;
With brimming hearts let's truly keep
Thanksgiving wfthin our wall.

W'ork on the various properties is pro

report. At Flint, Rich Gulch and the
mine of the Silver City Company, every
advantage is being taken of the grand

$714.32 was the amount that the three

Boulder
C. C. Hedum has just returned from
a trip to this big property and has pdt
in supplies for the winter work. Tne
claims, about thirty in number, consti
tute one of the largest bodies of low
grade ore in this section. It is located
about ten or twelve miles from Silver
and adjoins the old Hardiman ranch,
now occupied by the Duvalls on Boulder
Creek. It is in the Steele Mining Dis
trist, and is about three miles from the
F^lint workings.
Boulder has many natural advantages
that should help the proposition im
mensely. There is plenty of water either
for use or for power purposes, and lots
of timber. The mineral belt is about a
mile wide and shows an average value
of about ten or twelve dollars. The
workings are all surface and assays run
from $4.50 to $134.60. The veiDS vary
from 2 feet to 44 feet wide.
C. C. Hedum and J. D. Demming are
the principal owners of the Boulder
Creek locations. The property will re
quire capital to develop it, but the
workings, being mostly surface, present!
no engineering problems, either of com
plexity or expense, in fact the operations
are more like quarry work than mining.
The values are nearly all gold and the
veins are so wide tbat immense bodies
of ore can be taken ont in short time.

in this direction came when thé Land
