Bear stories are as thick as bonarz:s

he bought it, for just now they are not

some pluck to face one OF these bru'es'
but the Ja.'g: is prestyta!l and plucky
too, and we suppose the animal took
him for tree and as the cinnamon
does not climb our hero escaped un-
scathed.

A new and pleasant face comes to
US this week in the form Of the Mont
rose Messenger, the pioneer sheet of
the Uncompahsre. 1t is fall of in
formation about that section Of the
country. We feel particular inter

as child of Ruby camp, and We are
glad to see that it shows the vim and
spirit OF its worthy sire. Westward
the course of Empire takes its way"
aud at every step 1t plants the news
paper, and the Messenger isjust the kind
we like to see: Republican in pria-
ciple, independent in speech, patriotic
and business like in Its devotion to
the material interests of its section.

PIONEER STAMP MIL.

The Pioneer Mill is rapidly get

have alreay made contract with the
Forest Queen for 500 tons OF low
grade ore, 20 run about sz5 per ton,
aud for which they will pay sufficient
to the mine to make it AN object to
ship the ore. This ore has to be
taken Out, and even a small surplus
above cost Of treating and h,ullng,
is just so much towards the expense of
working.
Mr.. Buffers, the new manager, has
already won a favorable opinion in
camp, and he seems to have the en-
ergy and business capacity to take the
mill in hand and make success OF it.
With the spirit he man;fests he will
find that the camp will meet him in
the same cordial manner ard there
will result a mutuaiity of interests,
that will be Of great bene6. to our
mine owners, and We sincerely trust,
also, to the proprietor of the mill.
We are confident that all that was
needed, was just the kind OF manag
ment that Mr.. Buffers has inaugurated
in order to put matters On such a
footing as to bring about good results
for all. We congratulate the Com

COTTON FACTORIES.
How They Pay as an Investment.

How They Pay as an Investment.
It is a fact, positive and indisputable,
that wherever cotton factories have been
put in operation in the South, with sufficient
capital, and have been reasonably we'll man
aged, they have yielded large returns on the
investment. The cotton and wooden mills
at Weston, Mississippi, are amongst
the latest put in operation, and their
success has been remarkable. They paid, last
year, we learn, dividend of SO per cent.
on the stock of the concern, and are making
large addition to the establishment, at a
cost of $500, 900. Six hundred hands are
employed, and the mills are kept running
night and day to meet the orders. The
stock is now worth $500 per share of 800,
or three times its face value and original
cost.
To-day, Augusta Cotton Factory stock is
worth 1854; Graniteville, 1874; Langley,
IFS; Ea,l and Phoenix, las, and Enter
prise, a new concern, just beginning, no.
With such results as these, it is no wonder
that capitalists in the South are turning
their attention to cotton and wooden facto-
RES. They pay larger dividends on the in
vestments than it is possible to secure in
any other business. With the character
of men who are leading off in this
movement in Knoxville, We have not the
slightest doubt as to it proving paying en-
terprise After the mills are put into ope-
ration We predict that it will not be two
years before the stock will be worth fifty
per cent. above its face value, and perhaps
one hundred per cent. They are men who
have succeeded grandly in their various
branches of business, and who
have the reputation of max
ing everything pay that they take
hold Off. Mayor Payne, whose reputation
as prudent, cautious, discreet, successful
business man stands unchallenged, is heart
and soul into the enterprise, and he knows
no such word as fail. We have already
mentioned the high standing, as an honora-
BILE gentleman, of Mr.. James ID. Cowan.

A Down Town Merchant,

child, and becoming convinced that Mrs. Wins
lows Soothing Syrup was just the article needed,
procured supply for the child. On reaching

child, as she was strongly in favor of Homeo-

and the parents without sleep. Returning home
