Sir, not only the solution Of the com.
mercial and political problem, but also
the social and religious problem is in
volvcd in the adequate remuneration Of
labor, cheap money, cheap transporta-
ton and the stability Of prices regulated
by adequate currency controlled exclu
sively by the wants and necessities Of
business, and subject to no fluctuations
except those incident to supply and de-
mand and the FREQ and honest operation
Of the laws Of trade. Therefore our
policy should always be that which
would produce high wages to relieve and
elevate labor, and low interest on cheap
money, and cheap transportation to sus-
tain and secure capital and just rs you
thus lift the poor and down-trodden up
to higher plane Of civilization and ele-
vate them to a common level with their
fellow.man, that all may together ENJOY
the blessings Of this life, you teach all
through the harmony Of nature to see
the glory Of natures Gcd and TO realize
the great truth Of the fatherhood Of
God and the brotherhood Of man."

Fourteen Great Mistakes.

II is great mistake to set up our own
standard Of right and wrong, and Judge
people accordingly. It is a great mis-
take to measure the enjoyment Of others
by our own; to expect uniformity Of
opinion in this world; to look for jndg-
ment and experience in youth; to endeay-
or to mould oil dispositions alike; not to
yield to immaterial trifles; to look for
perfection in our own actions; to worry
ourselves and others with what cannot
be remedied; not to alleviate oil that
needs alienation, as far as lies In our
power; not to make allowances for the
infirmities Of others; to believe only
what our finite minds Gun grasp; toex-
pcct to be able to understand everything.
The greatest Of MI mistakes is to live
only for time, when any moment may
launch us into eternity.

Petty Worries.

What blessed thing il is that We can
forget To-day's troubles look large,
but q week hence they will be forgotten
and buried out Of sight. Sa.s one
writer: " II You would keep q book
and daily put down the things that
worry You and zee what becomes 81 them,
ii would be benefit to YOU"
You allow thing to annoy you Just
as you allow fly to settle on you aud
plague yon; and you lose your temper,
Tor rather get il, for when men are sur
charged with temper they are said to
have lost it, and justify yourselves for
being thrown of your balance by causes
which you do not trace out. But if you
would see what it was that threw you of
your balance before breakfast and put
il down in little book, and follow it up
and ascertain what becomes Of it you
would see what fool you were in the
matter.
The art Of forgetting is blessed art,
but the art Of overlooking is quite q
important And il we should take time
to write down the original progress and
outcome of . few Of our troubles, it
would make us SO ashamed Of the fuss
we make over them, that we should be
glad TO drop such things and bury them
at once in eternal forgetfulness. Life is
too short TO be wore out in petty wor-
ries, frettings, hatred and vexation.

4 Good One on Fred. Movers.

The following good one on Fred.
Meyers was told by an attorney OF
Utah, who was here not long ago:
In a recent Utah mining suit one
Fred. Meyers was a witnsss for the
plaintiff, and was out visiting the
property in dispute. At the same time
four of the witnesses for the defendant
were there for the same purpose. The
principal defendant, who was in charge
OF the property, was a stingy old skin
flint, and for the refreshment Of his
four experts sent boy up with bot
tie Of beer, out Of which he had taken
one glass himself.
Fred, who weighs two hundred
and forty, met the boy on the way and
asked: "Sonny, what have YOU cot
there?'
The boy replied: "Somc beer Mr..
C is sending up to his witnesses. !"
Fred. asked him to let him see it.
then took drink, handed it to a com.
panion, who drank also, passed it back
to Fred, and he emptied it, the boy
looking on in open-eyed astonishment
and rage. Seeing it all gone, he
turned to Fred, and burst out with:
''lou great, big, knock kneed, red
headed son of a sea-cook, somebody
will kill you yet.'

THE BAY STATE GROUP.
A Property that will Come to the Front
Next Year.

The Bay State groupof min es, stu
ated on the dividing ridge between
Bullion and Deer Creek, is opening
up splendidly, and justifying the con-
hdence felt in its wealth by Colonel
Wall and George A. Black, of Bull
lion, who purchased it short time
ago. Since these gentlemen secured
the control they have done q great
deal OF work on the property, and ex
tracted about 100 tons Of ore. A few
days ago shipment of about 20 tons
was sent to the HALEY sampling works
as test. The result was highly fav-
orable-so much SO that no doubt is
entertained as to the future of the
property, and early next summer it
will rank with the very best in this
section.
Owing to the unfavorable location
of these mines near the summit of q
very steep divide, the difficulties in
the way Of their economical working
are very great. In order to get the
ore to the wagon road it is necessary
to snake it down OH stoneboat for
about 1900 feet, and all supplies
must be taken up in the same manner.
Next spring, however, tramway can
be erected, and the mines worked
more cheaply. The Bay State group
will be worked all winter.

Salt Lake Tribune.
This is the business that called
Colonel Wall to Salt Lake and Chi
cago, about a month ago.
The Bullion mine was first discoy-
cred, and it gave its name to the
camp which has since become famous
as the location Of the Mayfower, jay
Gould, o X, Idahoan, Eureka, and
other mines. The first shipment OF
ore ever made to Salt Lake from this
vicinity was from this mine.
1t yielded $4,000 worth of ore
last year; its yield for this year is not
obtainable, as the season is not yet
closed.
