But the most pitiiul case of all was that
of the youngest boy. He was lying on
an old mattress so attenuated by sick
ness and suffering that the poor little
fellows bones almost protruded through
the skin.
Promptly relieving their most pressing
wants, the noble women assumed the
task of soliciting substantial aid from
our citizens.
These efforts realized in very short
time the sum of 1921 so, which was APP
pied to the procuring for the family a
comfortable house, the rent of which has
been paid three months in advance, and
such necessanes in the way of food,
clothing and medicine as seemed most
urgently required.
We are forbidden to give the names of
the charitable ladies to whose exertions
THIS poor family are so much indebted,
but II we might hazard guess as to
what theirs will be on the day when for
every one OF the accepted, there shall be
new name written, we would say,
g Faith, Hope and Charity, these three
but the greatest of these is Charity

Mr., JoHN BLAIR, Superintendent of
the Portland and Bowery mines, has
during the past few weeks, been having
erected, according TO plan of his own,
Il small, experimental furnace, for the re-
duction of the heavy, base ores of this
district. 1t was completed last week,
and made its trial run on some OF that
character of ore from the Portland mine.
1t proved a complete success, so far as
the design of the furnace was concerned,
the draft being perfect, and the ore melt
ing like wax; but on the second day, the
brick of which the lining of .the furnace
was composed, burnt ont compelling a
cessation of operations for the time be-
ing. The furnace is TO be refined with
peculiar kind of sandstone found near
Bristol district, which much resembles the
sandstone fonnd in Pancake Mountain
found near Eureka, and which has been
so successfully employed in furnaces
there. 1t has been subjected 10 every
possible test and trial of its heat with
standing qualities, and among others, it
has been heated to an intense heat, and
then plunged into cold water, which test
1t stood without cracking. Ii it proves
the success anticipated, it is the inten-
ton OF Mr.. Blair to Immediately erect
four or tive more of similar model.
A Coon WoRp. Necessity is It good
word. Military necessity did great
many naughty things during the late
unpleasantness, and political neces-
sity consummatod all the unconstitu-
tional legislation OF the Rump Congress;
but there is II local Necessity to which
we desire to call public attention. 1t is
the imperative necessity of u chain
gang, wherein those guilty of crimes not
attaining the dignity $50 to speak, If
felony, may be made TO earn their bread
while i'll the laws clutches. 1t is too
easy on petty thieves and hoodlums to
send them to the County Jail The deg
radiation amounts to nothing with such
characters; but the idea of being COM
PEELED to work would strike terror to the
heart OF every loafer and hoodlum in
Phoebe.

READING MATTER. Those who desire
pleasant and profitable way of spending
Sunday should not forget that reading is
one of the best methods. Particularly is
this so in a mining camp where frail

strength and money by it, go to Charley
