a Good Scheme.

Several years ago ore that would go
about 40 ounces was thrown over the
dump as n. e. Now with the inn
proved facilities it pays handsomely.
Yesterday we noticed teams engaged
in hauling this kind of ore from the
Nationality mine, adjoining the
Gagnon, and below the Original. 1t
is being worked at the old Lexington
mill and runs from 40 to so ounces.

wounded man lay upon the ground
for some time when q carriage was
procured and he was taken to the

was refused admittance there and it
was nearly IL o'clock at night before
he was placed upon a bed in a room

quently will be cautious how they in-
vest in the pools another year. This
will naturally affect the treasury Of
the association. Besides, the public
want to see square racing, and will
not attend a meeting where luck has
so much to do with the results. In
the great racing associations in the
east an official starter is employed,
who Knows his business, and the
judges generally know something
about racing and are nearly always
selected each day from visitors from
the outside. This would be q good
plan for the Helena fair to adopt,
and we hope to see it in effect next
year.

A Word to Business Men.

There is no better time than the
nresent for the business men of this
section to put their heads together
and see what can be done to increase
its material prosperity by the creation
of new industries and channels re-
curing labor to develop them. The
chief business of the district-that OF
mining-is permanent, and will
always take care of q certain number
of people, but there are y number OF
other enterprises that with energy to
back them could be carried on with
equal success.

Nd. Boland does the Carving act
on Clarence Lee.

Last night about ten or IL O'Clock
while . party of men were DISCUSSING
the events of the day in an East Park
street saloon q man by the name Of
Ed. Boland who was somewhat
under the influence Of liquor made
the remark that he had spent hun
dreds of dollars upon the party pres
ent. A companion of Lee remarked
that he (Boland) had spent no money
on himself and Lee. The latter re-
iterated the remark. This seemed
to incense Boland who INDUCED In
abusive language in which he DISGUISE
ed the question of the ancestry of both
Lee and his friend. No attention
being taken to his language B land
became quiet and the conversation
drlfted in more peaceful channels.
Soon after Lee and his friend arose
to depart. AS Lee was leaving, he
laid his hand on Boland's shoulder
and pleasantly invited him to go up
town with them. Bcland gruf1y re.
pulsed Lees friendly advances and
again used language towards Lee
more emphatic than polite. Lee
told him not to apply such language
to him again.
"What will you do about it if I
do 2" asked Boland.
"l'll bounce you," replied Lee.
Boland Immediately rushed upon
and closed with Lee at the same time
stabbing him with a spring-back
pocket-knife in the left shoulder.
Lee Immediately called out to stake
the knife from Boland." This was
quickly done by a bystander. when
Boland shot out of the room like q
flash. Lee followed him up and
after knocking him around the street
for a while, was obliged to d.sist
from pain and exhaustion.
The wounded man was taken to
the office of DR.. Norcross where an
examination disclosed q wound four
or five inches in depth running down
from the top of the left shoulder
The Doctor dressed the
wound, which though very painful,
cannot be considered dangerous. At
. late hour last night Boland had rot
been found by the officers.

The Cost Of Running a Train.

As the passenger sits at car window
and sees the mile posts whirl past, he
seldom stops to reflect what it has cost
the company TO pull the train a mile.
A party Of gentlemen, some of them
experienced business men, sat in the
lobby OF the Kennard House yesterday,
when the question as to the cost of run
ming an ordinarily heavy passenger
train was raised. Several of them made
estimates, but every one of them was
far below the amount. The average
cost OF running an ordinary passenger
train of from six to ten coaches is from
81 to S1.25 mile. This NAV seem
large at first, but when the several items
are taken into account one will suspect.
after all, that the estimate is too small
One OF the principal items is the run
ming of the locomotive. It has been
the study OF master mechanics to re-
duee the cost of running an engine, and
each claims to be little closer in his
calculations than the other. The aver
age cost during January of running
the engines on the Bee Line, for exam.
pie, was 1877 cents per mile.
Freight engines run at cost per mile
OF 1913 cents. Passenger engines cost
less, viz, 1924 cents per mile: while
switch engines, which are credited with
so much mileage per day, regardless of
the distances run, are run at so low a
cost as to reduce the average to 1917
cents per mile. The engines ran "a. So
miles to ton of coal, and 1888 miles
to pint OF oil.
Added to the expense of motive
power is the outlay for wear and tear
OF cars; it is estimated that it costs
three cents mile to keep a sleeping
ear running, and the wages of train
hands, etc. The expense from the item
of wear and tear is increased BY nm in
crease of the speed of a train. The
special trains on the Lake Shore. run
ming at speed of about forty miles an
hour, and the fast mail, at about thirty
seven miles, are the most expensive
trains on that line. II is not generally
known what the Government paws the
Lake Shore people for running the fast
mail from New York to Chicago. but
1t ought to receive at least $500 to fully
compensate it. Another little item Of
railway operation is the expense of
stopping and starting train, which an
experienced railroad man said yester-
day could not be effected at a less ex-
pense than from eighteen to TWENTY-FIVE
cents at each stop. Cleveland Herald.
