nEyrvAL aF MINING.


There is, however, a factor that is lend
ing new life to the mining interests of the
county-the ability to work low-grade
ores on a paying basis. All of the old,
abandoned claims are being reprospected
and II the ore is found in small quantities
an improved mill is set up. Bodies Of
low-grade ore have recently been located
that will keep mills in operation for year:

The Holidays

And the colder winter weather are now
rapidly approaching. The joyful sea-
son is eagerly anticipated by young
folks in thousands of homes; but in
nearly all there are one or more Older
ones to whom the cold waves and the
storms mean renewed suffering from
rheumatic backs or limbs. 1t is not
claimed that Hoods Sarsaparilla is a
positive specific for rheumatism; we
doubt if there is or can be such a reme-
dy. But the remarkable success Hoods
Sarsaparilla has had in curing this af.
fection is sufficient reason for those
who are suffering to try this peculiar
medicine.

How the Laboring Man is Protected.

OF the twenty factories in Jute Bag
ging Trust, not less than sixteen have
been shut down in order to lessen pro-
duction and raise prices against con-
sumers. Since last September the adj
vance in the price of bagging by this
corner has cost the producers of cotton
not less than So 900, 900 above fair rates.
Still the members of this iniquitous
combination are not happy. They find
that by the use of second bagging and
new substitutes for jute covering thier
profits are diminishing. AS a result it
is probable that some of the factories
that have been closed by the combine
will not open again. American work
men who have been deprived of employ
ment by the arbitrary course of the Jute
Trust will have difficulty in discovering
wherein they are protected by a tariff
system which encourages such opera
tions.

other diseases or affections arising from

THE German Baptists of Wabash,
Ind, in conference assembled, last
week, refused the use OF their
churches to the w. C.. T. U. The re-
port of the committee to which the
application was referred, is as follows ::
"The cause of temperance should en-
list the energies and prayers of every
Christian heart; and the deliberations
of our general conference for over one
hundred years present an unbroken
record or the subject, as against the
! use of intoxicants as beverage.
The temperance cause still has our
united prayers. Yet after carefully
considering your request, this COM
mittee unanimously decides that We
cannot open our tabernacle for the

questions not directly connected with
the object OF our conference" i sem
sible conclusion, as all will aver who
have noted the methods OF this Sc
called humanitarian organization.

Says editor Pettingill, of the Taco
ma Nems: As we have never seen
description of the big Stampede tun-
mel in print, we will attempt to give
the reader some idea of what we saw.
The tunnel has length of exactly g.
S43 feet. 1t is on an average twenty
four feet high and sixteen feet wide
the entire distance. In excavating
this immense channel it became ne
cessary TO run set of drills at each
end, all worked by compressed air. A
force Of about eighty men in each shift
of eight hours, or two hundred and
forty for day, was employed for over
two years. The amount OF material
taken out of this space can easily be
computed. Each foot on an average
produced sixteen cubic yards of rock,
or Isl 1928 cubic yards of solid rock for
the entire distance. Some Of the rock
was of the hardest kind of basaltic for
nation and some WAS found SO soft
that soon after reaching the air it
crumbled into dust in the dumps.
Then again the drills would strike
soft, pulpy conglomeration that proved
very troublesome. The greatest care
had to be exerted so as to prevent an
accident that would delay them for a
long time. Beginning about fifty feet
from the east end of the tunnel huge
timbers are employed to brace up the
sides and roof. In most places this is
not necessary, but an ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure"
During the entire distance OF the tun-
mel, with the exception OF that noted,
every two feet one meets with an up
right piece of timber 14x14, twenty
feet long. Resting upon these up
right sticks is an arch, formed OF four
timbers of like dimensions. These are
braced and bolted in a very secure
manner. Over this and down the sides
is tight fitting set of tongued and
grooved flooring two inches thick. This
is placed as near as possible to the
rock above, and the space, if any ex'
lists, is carefully filled with cordwOod
driven in as hard as can be, thus max
Sing it as perfect fit as possible"

The Second Name Oh the Ticket.

As the day draws near when the man
already selected by the people for Pres
ident of the United States will formally
be placed in nomination at st. Louis,
the question of who will be second on
the ticket begins to assume consider
able interest, whose election is, of
course, assured by inevitable success
of the head of the ticket. Among
those prominently mentioned for the
Vice-Presidency is Pension Commits
sioner Black. The choice will be made
from the west. Black has many ele-
ments in his favor. He, if any one,
could obtain the soldier vote, and he
is extremely popular in the west.
General John Charles Black, the first
Democratic commissioner Of pensions,
was born in Lewiston, Miss, January
| q, 1899. He is of Scotch-Irish de-
scent, his covenanter ancestors having
taken refuge in the north Of Ireland
from the Scottish prosecutions, and
thence later having emigrated to South
Carolina in pre-revolutionary days.
The South Carolina Blacks divided,
one branch of the family going to Vir-
ginia and another to Pennsylvania.
His great-grandfather, Finlaw, was a
member Of the revolutionary congress.
His father was born in Pennsylvania,
and became Presbyterian minister
At the time of his fathers death,
General Black was the oldest child of
four surviving, he being but eight
years of age. His mother was of the
Culbethson family Of Pennsylvania,
though she was born in Indiana, in
Madison. Upon Mr.. Blacks death
the widow removed in the fall of 1S47,
to Danville, Ills, where she has since
resided. Left no other heritage than
Il good name, young Black found HIM
self full of earnest ambition to secure
a collegiate education as preparation
for his life-labor, and to provide for
this he worked in his school vacations
at teaming and other labor. He was
blessed with splendid physique and
indomitable energy. When the news
came by telegraph of the firing on
Sumpter, within an hour thereafter he
had enlisted as private soldier in the
Montgomery Guards. General Black
was appointed sergeant-major OF the
Eleventh Indiana. The company was
mustered as the left-hank company of
the Thirty-seventh Illinois Volunteer
Infantry, at Chicago, in September,
1861. General Black remained in the
service till the close of the war, and
winning his star for gallant and ner-
itorious service" He was severely
wounded at Pea Ridge, Ark, and at
the battle of Prairie Grove, Ark. In
politics General Blacl. has been, since
the close Of the war, consistent DEM
ocrat, he leading by nearly 1900 votes
in his race for Congress, in the fall Of
1884, his Republican opponent, Mr..
Cannon, being elected by less than 500
votes. General Black is admittedly
the leading political orator of Illinois
and an advocate of the highest quality
in his professiOn-the law. Large
brainod, quick-witted, with piercing
deep-blue eye, brown hair, clear,
strong vo ice, and much grace of ges-
ture, few can equal, and none surpass
him in the forum or the council. His
record, alike in war and peace, is with
out a blemish.
