There is room for three times a.

Purchase Of the Smeter.

After two years of waiting and watch
ing'' in vain for capital to take hold OF
some of the valuable mining properties
in the Judith mountains and erect re-
duction works thereon, the citizens
and miners of Maiden and vicinity,
with a firm belief in the adage "God
helms the man that helps himself"
though. financially speaking, in strait
ened circumstances, determined to
await no longer for Others to put IN
mining machinery for the treatment OF
smelling ores, but to make united
effort to secure the cooperation OF
every business man and miner IN the
country to that end
On the evening of May 5th, '84, a
mass meeting was held in Maiden, the
subject thoroughly discussed, when
Ii was decided to organize a stock
company. A general interest In the
r movement was taken, and on Monday
evening, May 9th, the organization o.

NOT DRuNKARDs.

!" It is singular phase of newspaper and literary life,' remarked man who seemed to have given thought to the sub lect, that SO many successful writers are men addicted to excessive drink. Sober men plod along and are rarely heard of, but your literary drunkard s,ar,les the public with his brilliant pen."
 This idea is entertained by many peo. pie, but they make a mistake iu such a surmise. The literary drunkard is ephemeraL He pops to-day, like the cork from the champagne bottle, but to- morrow, he vill be as flat as the wine left in the glass. A man while raging with fever, sometimes possesses phenomenal strength, but the strength is of short dura- ton. The most successful men in journal ism and literature, are sober and pains taking. Their thoughts are sometimes mistaken for the supposed bright flash of semi-intoxication. It has been said that the editors of humorous papers are especially addicted to the use of whisky. This is an error. The poor s,ruggler for reputation, who strains himself to make people laugh the man whose work be- speaks not of literary finish but of rough lack of thought, may fancy that the favored cocktail and the grassy fra
 
 granoe of the tulip lend him a power of expression, but in truth, his gush of words weaken his work. The best known humorous writers are temperate men. George Peck has written many fine tenn perance articles-has written them in a way to impress young men. Burdete, Nye, Lewis, Sweet, and numerous others who are nationally known are men who court not the fumes of the flowing bowl.n
