THE Rising Star mill at Flint,
again steamed up on Wednesday
morning and is now pounding away
to the infinite delight of FiIntites,
all of whom put their faith in the
Rising Star. Cheerful notes are
those that proceed from the steam
whistle in a mining camp. They
enIiven every industrial interest, men
work with a more cheerful spirit,
merchants deal more libral!y, Hotel
keepers are not so morose with their
boarders, Saloon keepers treat Of
tener, mechanics are not so anxious
for paw in advance, Lawyers work
harder for contingent fees, Doctors
are more anxious to save the lives
of their patients. There appears to
be much more to live for when the
mills are pounding and whlstllng IN
chorus. They are to mining camp
what music is to an army in battle.
