On the 4th disastrous fire broke out In

their contents, with the exception Of the
furniture Of L. Wollsnburg. The loss IL
estimated at $4,000.
The mill as Signal IL running several

Mr.. Hubbard, formerly OF the McCrackin.
We hear Il rumored that the Peck Is to
be started up BY two companies in which

The Emmet nine and the group OF
leads adjacent thersto have been bonded
to ex. Governor Powers of Miss, for sixty
days, BY Secretary Gospsr for nice li.:le

Secretary Gosper, A. n. Smith and Gov.

Golden Era Mill, ON Cherry Creek. The
workmen have the foundation for the
boiler completed. and are putting the
same In position. The machinery for the
saw mill ID being put up. and by the last
of next week they think the mill will be
ready to manufacture lumber. The quartz
mill will not be ready to run before the
18th Of October. In the meantime the
company will continue prospecting some
Of the most promising leads With view
OF having large quantity Of ore on hand
for treatment when the mill 10 ready TO
receive it. We hear Mr.. Smith mentioned
in the highest terms in connection with
the management OF the Golden Era prop.
srty. Everything 10 done in 3 business

Since the commencement OF operations
by this Company IN Cherry Greek Dis.

1t is altogether prohableathat IN any

will bring fifty times as MANY replies as
N advertisement for q fair workman al

Il ia also probable that in any and ever,
city the average earnings of clerks are
nowhere near as large as the earnings OF
workmen Of average skill in the various
trades.
Further, it is fairly certain that, with
equal capacity, industry, and thrift. the
young man who learns any trade will

Why is it, then, that the boys all want

chance tO "get into business" and In
looking down on mechanical employ
