Temperance.
THE DRINK PROBLEM.

DR.. Felix L. Oswald's article on the
for December, is one Of the most valuable
contributions to the temperance cause
which has lately appeared. 1t is dis
cussion of the evil of intemperance from
the physical rather than the moral point
of view; but its facts and the deductions
from them are of character which
should quicken the interests of the public
in this great question. After alluding to
the enormous and increasing consump-
ton of alcoholic drinks in the United
States and the countries of Europe, DR..
Oswald says:
"There is hardly any accessible poison
Gus substance in the mineral or vegetable
kingdom which has not sometimes been
used as medium of intoxication, and the
degree of the accessibility seems, indeed,
to have decided the choice in many cases.
Of these poisons thus used it is the most
baneful which obtain the strongest hold
| upon the system, and it is a painful fact
that in the large majority of cases the
| appetite for a weaker stimulant, once
| formed, is only driven out by indulgence
| in a stronger poison. ''Gambrinus Yields
to Bacchus, Bacchus to King Alcohol
| Santa Crucensis, and the most stubborn
poison fiend may be exercised by the
Beelzebub of Opium Herein, as Dr.
Oswald mildly urges, lies the true danger
of the milder stimulants. They initiate
progressive habit, as as the tonic influ-
ence of one artificial tonic pals, the jaded
appetite demands a stronger incentive.
''We must aim our blows at the root of
the upas tree instead of looping it's prom
inent branches
All physical analogies speak against
the idea that the human system, in it's
normal condition, requires any toxic
stimulant; and the teetotalism of many
ancient philosophers and modern BRAIN
workers proves that mental vigor is COM
patible with non-stimulating diet. The
history of. the Western Saracens proves
that whole nations may excel in both

staining altogether from all artificial
tonics. The great evil with us is that
the road to ruin is paved with milder
stimulants, and that the age of confirmed
habits is reached by few who have not
lost their best safeguard against inebriety,
''namely, an unsophisticated physical
conscience" Young children learn to
ask for tea and coffee, and even for beer,
and often they imbibe stimulants with
their mother-milk. So the difficulties OF

Saviour. We can love MIN better that he
is unseen. Sight assists the affection
that is akin to instinct, but not that
which lives in the spirit. That which
the eye sees and the hand handles is COM
monplace and gross, loses in ethereality
by what it gains in vitality. Were God
localized, he would seem to our thought
much less awful find majestic than when
he is conceived as everywhere, like the
air we breathe, the element in which all
beings live. If there were only one spot
on earth where God and my heart could
stand face to face, God would seem to my
heart much less divine than he does now
when can meet him anywhere, speak to
him anywhere, just as my soul has need.
So Jesus visible to the eye, tangible to
the touch, would be Jesus too limited
and gross to be the object of universal
and spiritual affection-a Jesus known to
the senses rather than to the soul. And
so, while God gave us an historical Christ
on whom our faith could rest, he made
the history but moment in the heart of
his invisible and eternal being, that we
might be compelled to love him, if we
loved him at all, in spirit and in truth

GRowTH.-Growth is gladdenning. He
who grows in holiness grows in joy.
Spiritual strength brings gladness. 1t is
a poor, half-hearted religion-not spirit
ual power, but the want Of it-that breeds
gloom. The consciousness that man
is becoming stronger in his faith, clearer
in his convictions, warmer in his love,
must, from it's very nature, be glad con-
seriousness. And the hope of greater
strength yet to be attained, of loftier
heights yet to be reached, is more joyous
still. A story is told of Thorwalsden,
the sculptor, that on one occasion when

The love which the Bible calls charity
is not mere matter of feeling. 1t is a
spirit and purpose of kindness towards
others. Our surface feelings are not who'll
ly within our control; but for our inner
purposes we are directly responsible.
Hence it is, that charity-or Christian
love towards all-is a plain duty. We
have no right not to love the unlovely.
There is no being right and doing right
without being loved and showing love,
in all our intercourse with all.

THE MAIN RANGE MINES.
Progress of Development in the Fourth Of July and
Others.

About midsummer last, great excitement
was caused in Butte by the reported discovery
Oil the summit Of the main range Of the
Rocky Mountains, several miles east of this
city, of numerous and fahulously rich quartz
leads which were said to be cropping out all
over the country. AS a natural consequence
many pospcctOrS Stampedcd 10 the sCcnCe Of
excitement. The country, over a small area,
was well prospcctel and quite a number Of
claims were staked ont. Whether the ma
iority Of them are good, bad or Indifferent, is
vet to be aSccrtainCd, or, may never be asc@r'-
tanned, as very little Development has 50 far
be prosecuted. On three vi the properties,
however, considerable money has been eN-
pended and the results are very encouraging.
OF these the Fourth Of July is attracting the
most attention. 1t Was discovered on the
Fourth of July by Budd and Lila brothers.
The prospect is located i'll a laVinp leading IN
to Park canyon, ncing very near Tie summit
Of the Main Range and four miles from Bate
1t is developed by a shaft 30 feet deep from
which an cast level has been extended on the
vein TO allow Of the extraction of the very
rich ore which is found hear the surface. At
a depth of &C l.et, the shaft will be connected
with a tunnel which has already attained a
length of 155 feet and which will tap the
ledge within the next % feet. The quantity
of ore produced from The Fourth of July is
not large, but the quality has made up for
the limited tonnage. OF first class ore, aver
aging $40 ounces per ton and one ounce of
gold, "a tons have been produced, and CT
second class ore, averaging 81 ounces and
$3.50 in gold, 30 tonS have been produced.
THIS amount might have been largely in
creased had it no: been for the fact that the
owucrs lacked the necessary means to work
the mine to the best advantage. Their show
ing, however, is a very satisfactory one aud
shows what perseverance and pluck will &C
complish. The Fourth Of July ore is base in
character and was worked at the Colorado

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
A Communication frsna Mr. R%manrauf.

Editor Butte Miner.
SIR: l note by a communication in the
MINER that it is probable the council will
take no action relative to the electric lighting
proposition. While hoping this is not true,
L have just this to say: If the council will
not lend the enterprise their encourage
ment, or, at least, give the people a chance to
express the public sentiment regarding the
matter, the chance of the electric light going
to Butte at all will be very much lessened.
Gas companies starting in cities not only ask
a liberal patronage from the city but demand
the exclusive franchise of lighting for u
years. The price we ask is far less than gas,
while the light furnished is far superior.
We ask no exclusive privileges. 1t would
lessen insurance enough to more than pay for
itself, while it would protect the city from in
cendiarism and crime much better than do
present facilities. The loss from one fire like
that at Helena would pay for fifteen years of
electric lighting. But there is another reason
why our enterprise should receive public ell
couragement: We intend to combine with it
a system Of steam heating, and will have IA
cilities for throwing a stream of water from
our steam pipes ninety feet high, if needed. il
case of fire. This will be better than cisterns
and in the locality protected by our system
will do away with the necessity for steam en-
2ines. Pompt action on the part of citizen,
of Butte, and the very little public encour
agement we ask. will secure the early cree
ton of this plant.
My attention has been called to IN articl,
in a Butte paper stating that electricity is dan
gerous. This is untrue. Hon. Edward At
kinson, president of the New England Boar'
of Underwriters for mill Insurance.. recon-
mends it in preference to all other artificial
lights. A man on board of the Lavidla, al
English man-of-war, was killed by stupid,
%interposing his body in the line Of the cur
rent, contrary to Instructions. but when on
thinks of the hundreds of people who havt
lost their lives by blowing out gas, or by tn,
explosion of kerosene and gasolene this sill
gle instance will appear a ridiculously poo
argument against so harmless a thing as th'
electric light. Steam engines have blow
people to pieces, but that is no reason for dis
carding their use. | am,
