BI-AIETALLIC.

The new buildings at the Bi-Metallic
hoist are about completed, and are
much more substantial than the old
structures, which were destroyed by fire
on the 1st of August. Work in the mine
VIII be resumed in a few days. Some
new machinery has been added which
will enable work to be prosecuted to
better advantage than ever before.
Work at the new millsite is going
ahead with the usual rapidity, and the
grounds are covered with new machi-
merry of the most improved pattern. The
work of raising the framework has been
going on for several days, and the machi-
merry will shottly be under cover. A
large amount of small castings, ETC., are
being stored in the retort-house recently
built, but the heavier machinery will
have to remain outside until it can be
put in perman. n position, whie'l, at the
present rate of progress, will not be long.

SOUTHERN CROSS.

The incline shaft on this property has
reached depth of $50 feet, and has gone
through ore a great deal of the distance.
The vein shows width of from six to
twenty feet, and the ore is of rather low
grade, gold bearing and free-mllling, but
rich spots are numerous and assays run
high.
The first annual meeting of the COM
pany was held last week in Butte, and
the following were elected as trustees for
the ensuing year: Ben. E. Harris, Salten
Cameron, G. H. Hand, R. s. Kelly, John
w. Fairfield, Joel A. Moss and Guy K.
Piatt. A meeting of the trustees was at
once held and the following officers
elected: President, Ben. E. Harris;
vice president, G. II. Hand; treasurer,
John w. Fai field; secretary, Guy x.
Piatt.

Since the adjournment of the stock
holders meeting the company have Sc
cured sixty-acre millsite just below
town and Immediately joining the rail-
road. Our best judges of such property,
when considering the advantages of this
ground, place it's value to the San Fran
cisco company at $4,000. It certainly
commands all the advantages. A spur
from the main track of $50 feet will run
into the basement of the mill. There is
thirty acres of this ground most admir-
ably fitted for the tailings ground. The
grading for the mill will not cost over
81 800, and it is in direct line with the
mine. The company will probably build
in the spring.
Our fellow citizens, Messrs. Brown and
Wilson, donated to the San Francisco
twenty acres of the ground. AS this is
all under patent there is no hope here for
the jumper, nor for the, discoverer OF clay
banks and placer ground.

Recreation for the Brain Worker.

Not only does the brain worker require
the aid of systematic physical exercise,
but he is also beholden to what may, for
want of better name. be termed dis
tracting employment; by this l mean
such ernployments as have tendency to
throw the mind into an absolutely DIFF
ferent channel. In this category belongs
music, from the piano sonata to the stu
pendous effects as seen in the modern
orchestra and grand opera. The one
drawback to these amusements is the
fact that they take place at so late an
hour in the evening that the brain
worker is liable to get to his bed after the
midnight hour. This, of course, is a
grave disadvantage; and should there
fore recommend the ambitious brain
worker to patronize the much despised
matinee, even though he have to take his
amusement with house full of nurses
and children.-Dr. J. Leonard Corning.

COMBINATION.

A party of Philipsburg gentlemen
visited the Combination mine at Black
Pine, Sunday, and report favorable re-
suits from their investigation. The mine
is showing great development and the
ore is increasing in richness. They have
struck some valuable leads lately. The
capacity of the mill is crowded to it's ut
most to work all the ore that is mined.
A diamond drill has been purchased by
the company for the purpose of thor
oughly prospecting the properties in ad-
vance, in order to determine the advisa-
bility of an increase in their milling
capacity by the addition of ten stamps,
which improvement has been in contem-
plation for some little time. As the
profits of the mine have almost been
sufficient to pay for the addition, the
Combination may be looked to at no
very distant date as dividend payer.

LITTLE BLACKFOOT DISTRICT.

Reports from the Little Blackfoot dis
trict are indicative of healthy and pros
porous future. The Hidden Treasure
gold mining company is operating on
several claims, among which are the
Hidden Treasure, the Bluebird and the
Telegraph.
They started up their new mill on the
22nd of July, this year, but the rock was
so base that they we're unable to work it,
and they were obliged TO shut down the
mill for the present to put in vanners.

SAN FRANCISCO.

Sinking the shaft to the 500-foot level
was resumed or this property ten days
ago. The new hoist has been ordered,
and will be here by the 1st of October.
The sump is now about so feet below the
4CO-foot level. The ground has the ap-
pearance of the vein coming back into
the shaft. If it does, the work of sink
ing will be much less expensive, as well
as giving an insight into the character of
tho vein.

coming from the east 4nO-foot level In

PEARL.

This property is being rapidly devel-
oped, and the further the work pro-
crosses the better satisfied the stock
holders are, as the prospects are growing
brighter daily.
At the 200-foot level they are now drift
ing both east and west. Good ore is
coming in from both the lower and main
tunnels, the latter of which has attained
a length of $50 feet.
The machinery IS all working well, and
as good, if not better, progress is being
made on this property than on any
other working in this vicinity.

UNCLE JOHN.
A Little Chat with His NepheWS on
Some Everyday Matters.

Boys, I notice that most if not all of you, in
speaking of the great State of which st. Louis
is the principal city, and of the river which,
one of the longest on the globe, pronounce the
name "Mizzoora." I am afraid that your
teachers are responsible for this. Certainly
they do not correct you as they should. That
pronunciation is regarded by most people as
that of the ignorant whites who, before the
war, formed large portion of the population
of Missouri, and were generally supposed to
be most numerous in Pike County and are
called throughout the West, Pixies. The proper
pronunciation is with both SIS soft. You will
find this pronunciation given in Lippincotts
Gazatteer. The first part of the word comes
from a generic Indian term variOusly spelled
mitche, mishe and miche, meaning big or great.
Hence we have Mississippi, from niche and
Sepe, big or great water; Michigan, from niche,
big or great, and Sa5Cgyegqn lake; MjShe-naktca,
great bear, and MiShe-nGhRa, great sturgeon.
There is a host of other words of the same
Sort as Michilmackinac, Missisquoi, Mississin-
ava, Michipicoten. In all of these names you
will see the first syllable has the soft, sbilant
sound. Now, mind and be careful about your
pronunciation.
All of you who have been fishing in the
Northern lakes and rivers during the past
Summer have had much TO say about that best
of all fish found there-the muskallOnge. Did
you ever try to spell it? If so, you will be much
confused by the disagreements of the recognized
authorities. For example, the American En-
cylopedia in describing this variety of the
pike, spells it muscallonge or maskinonge, and
also admits aspelling of masquallonge, deriving
it from the French words lldSqae-faCe, and
GH0nGe-elongated, which it says was the de-
scriptive epithet applied to it by the French
Canadians on account of its long jaws. Web
steT spells it muskallonge or muskelunjeh, with
preference for the former. Worcester gives
only one speling-maskinong There is a
County spelled in this way in Quebec. Other
authorities use a, o, u, C, k and q, according to
taste, in writing the word. My personal prefer
ence is for the simplest spelling that will keep
the pronunciation and derivation in view,
which would be muskalonge.
One can get great deal of information from
common things by cultivating the habit of OBJ
servation. For example, the other day while
coming past where a new building was being
erected noticed a man who was mixing mortar
throw a lot of brick into the bed. l could not
understand what he meant by it, and so in
quired. why" said he, &" ! got too much
water in the mortar and am putting the brick
in 10 take it out. These freshburnt bricks,
you see, are like sponges, and absorb great
deal of water" l watched him while he
prepared the mortar, and found that what he
said was true. OF course his reason appears
good upon moments thought, but l am sure
that all of you would have worried over the
mortar, and not one have thought to reduce
the quantity of water in this way.
