GOLDEN MESSENGER.

Carl Bergstrand, whom everybody in
Phil1psburg is familiar with, was in town
during the past week, and gives us some
information regarding the Golden Mes
senger and Little Dandy mines, which
he is largely interested in. on Trout
creek, about % miles east OF Helena.
The shaft on the Messenger is developed
to depth of 200 feet, and two shifts are
being kept steadily at work IN the levels.
There is no water to contend with, and
as yet the company have not been put
to the usual expense of purchasing
pumps. The lead in the Messenger is
three to four feet wide and is entirely
different from that in the Little Dandy,
where no depth has been attained and
the ore is being taken out from the sur
face in an open cut. They now have
some 1,5OO tons of ore on the dump ready
Tor reduction that averages $40 to the
ton. Their 1O-stamp mill was completed
last week, and all work is progressing
entirely to the satisfaction of the owners
Mr.. Bergstrand says their little camp is
beginning to iven up considerably since
the starting of the mill.
New properties are being developed
and renewed life is born to everybody in
terested in the Trout Creek district, and
its future is bright one.

A NEW SYNDICATE.

The Butcher Bros. have recently bond
ed the Bell Flower, Viola, Pyrenees ana
other claims. located near Black Pine, to
company composed of the following
gentlemen: J. B. Risque, James Patten,
John Rains, A. S. Huffman, E. C. Frey
schlag, Jos. A. Hyde and w. w. Adams.
Walter Banks, former foreman at the
Bi-Metallic, has taken charge of the
property, and the company will at once
proceed with development work. A
quantity of rich ore has already been
taken out from these claims and there
is little doubt but that a sale of this
property will take place at the expiration
of the bond.

DIAMOND N.

The property upon which this COM
Pany j. is operating ,, is located Gated near the
northeast of the San Francisco and two
miles northwest of the Granite Noun
tain, in that big mineral belt. The for
nation is granite. They are running a
tunnel on the vein, gaining depth very
fast, as the hill is very steep. They are
now in about $50 feet. As work pro-
crosses the lead is widening, with good
quality OF ore all the time. There is little
doubt but that with sufficient develop
ment the property will prove valuable
and paying mine.

Presidential Statistics.

An industrious Washington cores
pendent has made an interesting col
lection of facts about Mr.. Harrison's
predecessors. We learn that the oldest
president was Mr.. Harrison's grand
father, who was siXty-seven when inau-
gurated; the youngest, General Grant,
forty-siX; and the next, Mr.. Cleveland,
forty-seven. The tallest president was
the first, George Washington, who sur
veyed his country from an altitude of
six feet two inches; the shortest, James
Madison, who was only five feet one
and half inches high. John Quincy
Adams had the greatest educational
advantages, his training having been
obtained in the universities of Leyden
and Harvard. Jackson is said to have
been exceedingly Ignorant of law, poll
tics, science, and everything which a
man who governs a country ought to
know. A majority of the presidents
were military men. Grant had the
most extensive military experience,
and Hayes was wounded four times in
battle. 1t has frequently happened
that the successful candidate did not
receive a majority of the popular vote !;
the most striking case was that of John
Quincy Adams, who was elected with
only 80. Is per cent of the popular vote.
Monroe came nearest to being the
unanimous choice of the people, re-
ceiving 1929 per cent Of the popular
vote, while Washington obtained 81 II
per cent.-IOronto Globe.

Unfortunate Mistakes.

:" a Solemn Circus in Church" was
the striking head to the Buffalo Cypress
dispatch from Indianapolis giving a re-
port of the remarks made by Rev. DR..
flames, General Harrison's pastor, on
Sunday last. The Cypress explains
that A Solemn Service in Church :"
was written, but the " intelligent COM
positor " would not have it so. The
is ever with us, and so is the
proof-reader. In the New York Herald
office proof-readers have been suspended
for weeks because of passing serious
mistakes. And yet the Herald recently
made the astonishing announcement
that "a long line of scorpions feathers
filed into church," instead of g sur
pliced fathers" A reporter on that
paper had occasion to quote verse
from familiar hymn in which the word
herald occurred. The proof-reader du-
tifully underscored the word, and the
verse appeared, " Hank, the Herald
angels sing" And it was in the New
York Worlds report of a political meet
ing that the word "shouts " was so lu-
dicrously misprinted as to make the
blunder famous: 1.-THE shouts of 10,-
900 democrats rent the air." read the
report.-1roy Times.

Damp Fiddlestrings.

Said the leader of theater orchestra,
the other day: " / can tell how large an
audience there is in the house any even
ing without looking. My violin-bow
tells the tale. When the house is full
the moisture coming from the audience
lessons the tension of the hairs on the
bow, and l am compelled TO tighten
them many times during an evening.
If the air is dry, of course, this is
avoided. You have no idea how the
sound of violin is affected by the
weather. Damp atmosphere will loosen
and fiatten the strings, and the result is
screeching sound from the instru-
ment. The body of the instrument is
also affected by the atmosphere. Moist
ure gets into the wood and the violin
gives forth an unnatural tone. The
moisture thus lowers the pitch, and it
is exceedingly difficult to keep the in
strument rightly toned on damp even
ing. The wind instruments are af-
fected in an opposite way. Dampness
contracts the metal, and the result is a
higher pitch. 1t frequently happens
that there is a difference of an entire
note between the wind and string in
struments in playing selection"

The next four weeks were spent by
Perkins in perfecting a strange ma
chine, which, in answer to his wife's
inquiries, he persisted in calling a
peanut shooter" as obstinately refus-
ing to explain its use and destination.
The festive drummer was sleeping
soundly in his room at the hotel; the
transom was wide open and his mel
linuous snore could be heard all
over the hall, when Perkins and his
machine made their appearance, and
in the rear black porter, putting I'M
der the weight of one of the sacks of
peanuts, another and still another fol-
lowing.
Something was evidently about to
happen, and Perkins tiptoed cautiously
about as he opened one of the sacks
and began to stuff the machine with
peanuts. II operated like pump, and
while Perkins stuffed in the peanuts
one of the black assistants pumped
away for dear life, throwing a steady
stream of nuts over the transom.
The drummer was doubtless dream
sprinkling over his pillow, and he
brushed them away with his hand with
an impatient " Shoe, there" evidently
intended for a stray mosquito or ma
rauding bedbug.
The porter pumped, Perkins stuffed,
and the drummer finally awoke when
the rain of peanuts became about an
inch deep over his face. He opened
his mouth to exclaim, and peanut
fell in.
by the great jumping horned
spoonsl What in creation has broke
loose?"
He scraped off the fast falling shower
of nuts and sat up in bed; he could
hear the creaking of the machine out
side, the humming, humping of the
peanuts, as they came pouring over the
transom, and it did not take him long
to discover the nature of the joke which
was being played upon him.
Here, you, Perkins; let up and
wen talk it over!" he called out.
Pump, pump, pump! Stuff, stuff,
stuff! No reply.
Say, now, Perkins, that's good fell
low I've got enough. Let up and I'll
treatl'
The pumping and stufling went on
monotonously, and the peanuts were
getting low in the first sack.
1t was not until they were six inches
deep in the drummer's room he called
out, " Say, Perk, if you'll stop that in
fernal machine out there III pay all ex-
penses and take every blamed peanut
off your hands"
The porter's arms were tired and he
was willing to stop at Perkins request
and compromise was effected through
the key-hole.
1t took the genial drummer until
plump daylight to pick up the peanuts
and so far as heard from he hasn't
played any more practical jokes up tc
date. Perkins is once more serene
