PATENT oUTSIDES
| 1t is said that the Postmaster General
has decided that newspapers known as
"patent outsides,' "insides' or "co-opcr.
atives,' etc, shall be excluded from the
mails as sccond-class publications. The
reason is that these papers, being similar
ly printed on one side in large cities, then
sold by the quire or ream, to thousands
of country publishers, who make up and
print the other half of the paper with
home news and local advertising, is suf-
fcient evidence that such papers are not
self-sustaining. There are about 1000
such publications in this country, and if
the ruling above referred to should go
into effect, probably 5000 "co-operatives'
of the smallest circulation and local adver-
Using patronage would necessarily sus-
pend publication. 1t is not generally
known, but is fact all the same, that
notices published in these papers are H.

STILL BETTER NEWS.
Mr.. d. s. Colby came down from the
C1ur d Alene mines this week and speaks
in very enthusiastic terms of the present
outlook. He thinks it will be the rich
est camp ever discovered in the United
States There are about 200 miners in
the camp 100 of whom are at work on
their claims. Recent finds of quarts has
added a new impetus to this branch of
mining and some of the discoveries are
pronounced wonderfully rich High up
on the mountain side $50 feet above
Pritchard creek, placer deposits have been
found which yields Sc per day to the
man. Hayes City is rapidly building up

Small Il Co., will take in large stock

he is reliably informed that it is fact
