aaoat to the effect that the company who
recently purchased the Alexander mill

contracted with San Francisco party to
put in sixty stamps in the mill, in addi

rumor is that one hundred and ten more
stamps are to be added, which would
give one hundred and fifty altogether,
That number of stamps running would
make music for the Grantsvilleans.

The world is getting pretty deeply
into debt. The Census Office figures out
that the leading nations of the world
now owe something over 500, 900, 900, 900,
France leading the list in 1880 with SO, :
500, 9S2, 800, followed by Great Britain
with 50, 766, 81 900, then Russia, Spain
and Italy, and sixth the United States,
whose debt stood then at 80, 100, AIS, 81;
though since reduced to 81 ,995, 347, OH.
Ours is the only great nation which is
constantly decreasing its indebtedness,
and the census people estimate that the
aggregate debt of the world by 1900 will
exceed S32, OO0, $1,000.
