+. HINT, the contractor, has re-
turned from Pine Grove, where he
went some months ago to build the
mill Of the St. Louis Company. This
mill has been running steadily, nigh,
and day, for IA days, and is doing
cool work, crushing an average OF Is
tons per "a hours, on which the CON
pany realizes profit OF $50 to $50 per
ton. The company employs 40 men
in the mines, and five ut the mill. As
most of the force is employed in de-
velopment work, and the property is
opening up satisfactorily, there will,
in few months, be enough ore ex.
posed to justify an increase in the re-
duci"g capacity of the mill.
The property adjoining the St. Louis
Company's, which is owned by a man
named Andrews. is also showing up
we'll. A lot of 20 tons of its ore mill
ed at Rocky Bar recently Melted al
most $50 per ton.
The district is improving steadily,
and will undoubtedly prove perma-
nent producer.

A New Hotel Ut Willow Creek .

S. G. Humphrey is in from his
Willow creek ranch. He says that
he has hardly seen a grasshopper,
this year, and hopes to be able to es.
cape them next y-ar--after which no
one on the Prairie will be likely to
have any trouble with them. He has
over 1000 bushels Of oats, grown this
year.
Mr.. Humphrey is building an hote!
at his ranch, for the accommodation of
travellers. His place being stage
sutton, and. the connecting point for
Smoky, he enjoys q fair amount OF
transient trade. To accomu oaate it
he is building an hotel 2Jx32 feet,

and large cellar underneath. When
this shall be completed Mr.. Humphrey
will be prepared to feed from 10 tc

Treasury Department has this week,
however, advanced the figures at which
tenders of bonds will be accepted, the
effect being not only some increase
IN the volume of offers but much
larger amount Of accepted tenders.
1t is now thought that any decided
advance in 'oaning rates will at once
result, in large offers of bonds to the
Treasury. There is, therefore, no
apprehension OF any decided s.riugen.
cy even if the demand for funds at
the interior, which has already com.
menced to exhibit itself. assumes very
large proportions. The situation,
however, induces some slight degree
OF caution on the par. of lenders, and
demands are also growing in a way to
produce some effect on rates. Bank
ers' balances loaned on call on the
Stock Exchange ut l@e2 per cent,
and the rates during part Of the week
were 1902 per cent, against the
1Wla per cent. rate which has ruled
for some time. Some institutions,
indeed, raised the rate to brokers to
Z per cent, though this was not gen.
eral. Time money is not plentiful,
and though enquiry is slack the rate
may be quoted at 4@4 - per cent. for
three and four months loans. Com
mercial paper is scarce, and quotations
are nominally 1905 per cent. for
best names and Endorsed bills receiya.
BILE, and SOC per cent. for single
names and western paper.
"The total amount of bonds tender
ed to the Treasury for the week was
s7;,S42,550, of which 1885, 900 were
accepted. The prices paid were adj.
vanced to 1873 for 4 per cents and

Thirty-three years ago, at the old
fremont House. John b. Drake gave
his first game dinner. Chicago was
then, comparatively speaking, very
small city. Some forty persons sat
down to the feast, and there was
plenty of game in the West The
buffalo then roamed the prairie, and
buffalo meat was not considered Il
luxury.
Last night Drake, Parker & Co.
gave their thirty third annual game
banquet. Instead of forty plain, every
day business men of the infant city,
there were $50 guests, elegantly
dressed ladies and gentlemen, repre-
senting the growth, glory and bound
less prospects of the Queen City of
the Lakes.
Il had to send to the Rocky Noun
tians more than two months ago,
said Mr., Drake, "for my game, and
it was shipped to me from Rock Creek
and Cheyenne, some of it coming here
over two weeks ago. The antelope,
blacktail deer, elk, sage hens, rufed
grouse, prairie chickens, and jack
rabbits all came from the lar West,

Stoves ran out open fires, furnaces
did away with stoves, steam heat cur
tailed the usef illness of furnaces, and
now it seems likely that at no distant
date electric heating will put an end
to that use of steam, The ElectriaI
World has been devoting several ar.
ticles to that subject lately, and their
purport seems to be chat while the
inventions for electric heating are
not yet as good as they will be, they
are already better than anything else
The greatest advantage from a com
mercial point of view of these inyen-
tions perhaps lies in the fact that the
self-same current that is utilized in
this system for heating will be also
used for electric lighting and power
distribution, and the current gener.
ated for all these purposes may be
transmitted to the various points Of
consumption over the same circuit
Theoretically no great economy is OBJ
Lained by electric heating in the pres
emit state of the inventions, but wher
it is reckoned that stoves and furn
aces waste SO large part of theil
heat and that steam is SO poorly
adapted for small establishments, the
economical advantage of electricity
are easily argued, and several inven
tors expect soon to put their systems
on the market, -Ex,

Anarchy In CnlcagO.


While the lesson taught the anar-
chists in Chicago q year ago was snf-
.ficiently severe to prevent them from
taking any active steps to carry out
their murderous designs, there is still
some of the old leaven left, and they
take advantage of every opportunity
to express their emnity to the social
order and to renew their allegiance to
the demon Of misrule and chaos.
On Thanksgiving Day an anarchist
meeting was held in Chicago, and one
Albert Curtin made speech, in which
he said that the present system of
society was not worth giving thanks
for, but was worth cursing to the
lowest depths of hell. Let the fools
be thankful for their wretchedness, he
said, but workingmen should stand
together until their ideals of socialism
and anarchism were fully realized.
All such talk as that is absolutely
harmless. So long as some glib
tongued orator will pirate about the
the theory of socialism and about a
time when there shall 6e no law in
the world, because there will be no
need of law, he can find an audience,
for the supply of foods and cranks is
constantly being renewed; but when
he deseends from the abstract to the
concrete and talks to workingmen
about there being nothing in the pres
ent system of society worth giving
thanks for, he only exposes himself
to ridicule. The facts are so fatty
opposed to his assertions that no man
in his senses can credit the speaker
with even common honesty.
Workingmen know very we'll that
they have work to do and get money
for their work because of the exis-
tence of the social system; and though
they may be dissatisfied oftentimes
with their condition, and with good
reason, they are not going to bring
the whole social fabric tumbling about
their ears lest, like Samson, they be
crushed among the ruins. The mer
who are led away by the wild and
foolish harangues of such men as
Most and Curtin are men who wan
to live without work; who declare tina
the world owes them living. wher
in fact all it owes them is good
sound thrashing as ''rogues and mas
terless men," as the old vagranc,
statutes used to put it.
We can understand how anarch
and communism and nihillism, an,
kindred forms of the same idea ma
develop and attain vast proportion
under an autocratic form of govern
ment, for under a despotism man
are deprived of the natural rights o
life, liberty and the pursuit of happ
ness; but it is a constant myster
how any man or set of men can ente,
tain the idea of overthrowing COY
eminent of which they themselves al
or may be component part, or of d,
stroying a social order which the
help to frame. Such men do not d.
serve to live in a free country; and
the United States would do its dut
by its citizens it would expatriat
every man who whispers or hints al
archy before he can get chance t
put his ideas into effect or to pc
suade others to rise up against til
social system which he decries,-E.
