lnasmuch as several of the cities
on the Sound have used considerable
saw dust as filling in the grading of
streets, the case of East Saginaw,
Mich, may be of interest. Years
ago the sawdust and debris of the
mills were used in filling up the
swamps and bayous thereabouts and
in leveling the inequalities Of the
streets. In every instance soil was
put on top, varying in depth from
one to two feet. Heavy buildings
erected on that ground stand to-day
as well preserved as any on the most
solid and natural earth foundations.
In the digging of servers the fact
of transformation into a homogen-
eous conglomeration of original soil
is disclosed. No one has ever been
able to explain or give the process
of the transfer nation, but it is a
fact.

There is trio of promising cities
on the Sound, and Port Townsend is
now recognized as one of the three
wherever she Is known. The Tacoma
Journal of recent date says: Puget
Sound is wonderful region, replete
with commercial and other adeant>
ages which challenge every other
section Of the country. Three great
cities are destined to rise on the
shores of this inland sea-one at the
southern limit; another at its north
ern limit, and another midway be-
tween. The embryo of these cities
exist to day, and are healthy in their
growth. Tacoma, Seattle and Port
Townsend are here to stay; each has
its merits and its source of support.

EprroR MiNyR:
After long period Of dormancy this
END of the camp has awoke and the
chrysalis is a butterfly. Messrs. Kelly &
McKinnon are taking out large quantities
Of fine ore from both the bottom and
GO-foot drifts. They have five inches Of
ore in each drift that will sample $50
ounces, and eighteen inches that samples
1870 ounces, and the calculation is to put
on force as soon as connection is made
with the old works, where they will have
good air, and can take ont ore through
them and sink the new shaft at the same
time.
At the Sunlight the Oliver Brothers
have struck a fine body Of ore in the
Wine sunk on the S5-foot level. which
equals in richness any ever taken from
this property.
Jno. Barry is hauling the Minnesota
dump to the dry concentration, and keeps
his team running steadily.
The lessees Of the Minnesota have com
menced in earnest and are driving the
main shaft night and day. They have 80
feet to sink before they will drift.
Messrs. Thompson and shrope have
started up their teaching works and arc
getting about twenty pounds high grade
sulphides per day.
At the Bridal Chamber the shaft is
going down steadily in good ore, and the
chances are that the printer" and "Mis-
souri" will yet make stake out Of that
ground.
Last Sunday week Mr.. J. H. Campbell,
of the Flores Company, was in Mineral
Park. Mr.. Campbell, who Ia quite an
expert amateur photographer, was &C
companied by his camera. During the
afternoon crowd Of miners surrounded
a wildcat just west Of the keystone, and
Mr.. Campbell succeeded in getting good
picture of the men and the wildcat, which
il for sale. The picture is purely retro
spective.
Every one hereabouts who have prop
erty Of their own or can get Q decent
lease have gone to work on it and there
very few idle men around.
There are several schemes being
brought forward to start up work or
several claims which have been idle foI
some time, and if reasonable leases viii
be granted they will undoubtedly b.
worked.

that charity which 1 claim is the regulating
spring of all our thoughts feelings and ac-
tiOns. The spirit of pure benevOlence, which
teaches us to forgive our enemies, to minis
ter to the wants of others, which feels i'll
dignatiOn at hearing the unfortunate ma
ligned: which gives to man heart to feel
for and hand to rescue the fallen, and heal
the breaches between friends-Such spirit
will mole or less distinguish the christian
character. He will throw over the short
cOmings of his fellow man that mantle of
charity which God commands. and which
he needs to cover his own delinQuencies.
We cannot do better in the hours of soli-
tude in our cells than to continue to prac-
tice this method of self-examination and
strive by Gods help to live more nearly as
He would have us do.

no place does the bible teach us that others
