132 Points to the Rod.

This justly celebrated fencing is the
lightest Barb Wire made. The dia-
mond steel barb is SO secured on the
wire as to allow it to vibrate, which
prevents any unnecessary dissertation
of stock. The cable wires are from
steel, No. y, plated (not twisted) to-
gether, and will stand the greatest
tensil strain.
This wire is protected against rust
by covering of Pure Boiled IRON Clad
Mineral Paint, which is practically
rust-proof.
The Kelly Steel Barb Wire is the
lightest, the strongest, and the best
protected against rust. The diamond
barb is so secured on the wire that 1t
cannot be removed, is so strong that it
will not be bent or broken, and will re-
tain its sharp point long after all
other styles of barbs are rusted blunt.

following parties and examine before

The CHur d'AIene Placer.

A correspondent writes to the Ore
 gonlan from Eagle City, l. T., on the 31st ultimo: I send you the latest
 news from the gold fields, They are beyond doubt the richest diggings discovered in the past twenty years, nuggets being taken out the size of hen eggs, and claims are being jumped every day. Gold quartz leads have been discovered that will astonish the old '49ers. One lead was found last week which Is being guarded by armed men night and day, as every piece of quartz brought to the surface shows the gold plain to the naked eye. A saw mill IS needed, as also new stocks of pro visions, but the drawback is limited transportation from the post Occur d'Alene, which is the nearest supply depot. There is only one steam boat plying on the lake, and that be- lougs to the government. There Is work for at least three steamboats. A good opportunity is presented for a store or two ln the town of Occur dAlene, through which every miner has to pass. The only store IS the post traders, and there is no other store within twelve miles. It is cer- tain that thousands of men will flock to the new El Dorado next spring
 Pack trains are focking in every day
 The trail from the wagon road Is good. Parties leaving here reach the post in two days. The officers and crew of the government boat are very courteous and obliglng, ano any body lucky enough to secure passage on the boat will never re
 gret it. Those who are left have tc take teams over the Mullan road i and must stop-over several times or

the route. The first place after leav
 ing the town of Occur dAlene IS
 Wolf Lodge, where there are ample supplies for man and beast. The next place is the Mission, where one may have to wait on account of the crowds arriving there by steamboaat, You then strike Mud Prairie, where a store is located. 4 nights stop IS made at Doc. Mastersons, at the foot of the trail, where you get your last square meal, and hay and oats tor your horses. ] should advlse miners to bring along a saddle, as herses can be had, but no saddles. From Masterson's the Indians take you into camp for $6, and your provisions for $4 per 100 pounds.

Petroleum Fuel.

Much experimenting has been made in the direction of utilizing petroleum as fuel in mining, met- alurglcal and other operations, and while encouragement in some instan- ces has been given that success would ultimately result from continuous experiments, the practical achieve ments so far have not been of partie- ular value, but it is evident that the problem will be successfully solved and important advances made ln thls direction. The latest movement to this end is by company established in Boston, which has all the patents covering the inventions of MT. R. ". Avery, and from the tests made of this process, 1t is confidently expect ed that the cost of the production of iron may be decreased at least one third, and will also prove a valuable desideratum in mining camps where fuel is an important factor in smeit ing operations. As we understand under the Avery patents petroleum can be used in furnaces for m1sniHi Ia e turing and smelting purposes, and will make a marked improvement in this line of industry.
 It is stated that any stack furnace may be remodeled for the use of pc troleum under these patents. Those most interested in the matter have every confidence in its successful operation, and it success will mark new era in the regions which pro duce low-grade ore principally. The fuel question has been of the utmost importance in all manufacturing and metallurgical operations, and any thing that tends to a practical solu- tion of this great problem is sure to meet with immediate favor.

Served Her Right.

It was in Paris: An elegant lady goes out shopping. While she is engaged there is heavy fall of rain. The streets are flooded, and to add to her distress her carriage stands on the far side of large open square which has become lake. She sig nals to the driver, but the horses
 being young will not face the water. She stands on the edge of the curb stamping her little feet and not know ing what to do. A gentleman passes and he takes in the situation at a glance. Throwing his cigar aside he steps up to the lady, seizes her dellcatelY by the waist, plunges into the tide and lands her safely on the lower step of her carriage door. Re- covering from her astonishment, she turns round and mutters 'Insolence!" The gentleman loses no time, but

An Oregon editor, who knows what he IS talking abont, says: Advertis- ing pays better as an investment than stocks, railroads or gold mines, is far more safe, requires less capital and has no ''bulls" or "bears" in its market. Pays? Of course it does. Whoever heard of a merchant that advertised largely that did not do a good business, or of one who did not advertise that did not go to the dogs or bankruptcy? Pays? It does much good, proclaims your goods from the house top, and brings all the customers you can accommodate. Pays? Try it iberally, and you will ind it the sun that shines upon your hay-making.

Gladys Ind Harold.

Harold leads her to a fauteuil and kneels in his beautiful glad manhood beside her. "May I kiss you?" he murmurs. She does not speak, but the love-light in her eyes makes an swer more eloquently than could any words. For 8 moment she closes her eyes, as one faint with bliss whose keenness makes it cross the border land and become pain, and So IS gathered into bis strenuous embrace. For one second she lies on his heart, for one second the breath of her sweet sighs stirs his hair. Their faces are hearing each other slowly, in the sweet luxury of 8 passionate delay to make yet more poignant the pleas ure of the supreme meeting at. last, when suddenly Harold starts to his feet. Gladys springs from the fau' teuil My Godm she cries, what is the matter?" Bending over her and pressing her closely to him, Harold whispers in low, strained tones: q have broken my suspender."

A pri5OAcr was once tried before Bason Anderson for stealing a saw, and in his defence urged that he only took 1t in joke.

SOMEBODY'S OIoRHER. .

The woman was old and ragged and gray, And bent with the chill of winters day. The street was wet with the winters snow And the woman's feet were aged and slow. She stood at the crossing and waited long Alone, uncared for amid the throng Ofhuman beings who passed her by, Nor needed the glance of her anxious eye Down the st rect, with laughter and shout, Glad in the freedom of school let out, Game the boys like a flock of sheep, Railing the snow, piled white and deep. Past the woman, so old and gray, Fastened the children on their way, Nor offering helping hand to her, So weak, so timid. afraid to stir, Lest the carriage wheels or horses feet Should crowd her down in the slippery street. And last came one of the merry group, The gayest laddie of all the group. He paused beside her, and whispered low: "Pll help you across if you wish to go." Her aged hand on his strong young arm She placed. and without hurt or harm Me guided her trembling feet along, Proud that his own were firm and strong. Then, back again to his friends he went, His young, heart happy and well content. She's somebody's mother. boys, you know, For she's old and poor and slow; And hope some fellow will lend hand To help my mother, you understand, If ever she's old aud poor and gray, When her own dear boy is far away" And somebody's mother" bent low her
 head
 In her home that night, and the prayer she
 said
 Was. ''God be kind to that noble boy Who Is ,nebJdy's son and pride and joy. '"
