A Primitive Process.

There is no government tug at the Norfolk navy yard now, and in moving heavy vessel along the wharf front the hauling is accomplished mostly by the bull teams of the yard, primitive pro. cess, but the best available at present. It takes about four yoke of bulls to move a vessel easily along, but when they tackle big ship like the doubls turreted monitor Ainphitrite the bulls generally go down exhausted before the hauling is over. In doing tug duty for the past year the bull team appears us new fac tor in the economy of navy yard affairs. Washington Star.

STREAM AND SOURCE

Slender the streams that flow Out of the clefts of the rock, But they widen into the river below, Where the shepherd waters his flock; And behind and above them all, Tho rivulets and the river. The springs that are hid in the heart ot ths
 hills
 Feed them in secret forever Slender the streams of good That flow from the lives of men, But united they swell to a gracious food That bleSseth again aud again; And. like the fountains that feed The rivulets and the river, The wells of Gods grace arc the source of
 all good,
 And he is the secret giver. Harriet McEwen Kinball in ConCregationalist

Death of a Jolly Gooh FeIloM

Mir. Jerome's serious illness recalls to my mind an incident which I noticed with some amusement at his brothers funeral. He was such jolly good fel- low that even whenbe was in company in a coffin he was not as depressing as an ordinary corpse. An awfully swell young girl, tailor made, with that aplomb which only nature can give, came into the room with a young man, walked with the hippy movement which was then the fin de siecle carriage for a girl over to the coffin, looked pleasantly at MT. Jerome, and then turned and walked out again. As she reached the vestibule she said to her escort with a cheerful tone, in perfectly audible voice, "Well, he had an awfully good time while he livedT Could the king of terrors have been treated with dain- tier indifference?-New York World.

Surgical Instruments.

A thing the general public does not know is that there are few. if any, pat ents on surgical instruments. When a physician gets up some new device to meet the needs of the progression of surgery and medicine he does not get a patent on it, but any one is free to make it, and the profession gets the benefit of that fact.

Word reached r. J. Monroe at the

The Calendar Party,

The Calendar party given at Grange
hall last Friday evening was highly sue
cessful. A Calendar party, by the way,
is only variation of the Church Fair
form of entertainment which has held
the ground 30 long and so successfully
as the popular method of raising money
for church purposes. In the case of the
Calendar party, four booths were erected
and decorated to typify the four seasons
spring, summer, autumn and winter
at each of which various fancy articles
and notions generally were tastefully
arranged and offered for sale by the di.
vinity in charge. A brisk business was
done. The public parted with its hard
earned dollars as readily as though they
had never heard of hard times By
eight O'Clock the pop corn and candy
stands had sold their entire stock, and
two hours later there was nothing left
to run the show on but the ice cream.

were very modest in their expectations

of the roads had concluded that they
would be playing in big luck if they
cleaned up twenty dollars as the pro-
ceeds of the evenings entertainment.

of the several booths and found that for

ers. stockmen, miners, prospectors, etc.,
and is true in every particular.

complete advertisement of the resources
of that section of the state. Ten thou
sand of these distributed over the east

guessing her name. and she was finally
auctioned off to 'Lemhi' for a S5 bill.
The ladies Of the Guild are very much
delighted and encouraged with the sue
cess Of the entertainment, and request
the F. P. to extend their sincere and
heartiest thanks to the generous public
who gave them such liberal assistance.
The ladies have it all figured out that
with the proceeds of this entertainment
they will be able to buy stove, carpets
and lamps for the new Episcopal church
building, and have something left over
for the purchase of an organ. Owing to
bad roads there were not many people
present from the country. but the town
was out in full force, and nearly every
family was represented.

HUGE MINING DEAL.
The DeLdmdr Mines Are FINALLY
Transferred to an English
Syndicate.

BOISE Cry, Idaho, April 4.-The sale
OF the great DeLamar group of mines is
now an accomplished fact. The prop
erty now passes into the hands Of an
English corporation, under the title Of
the DeLamar Mining Company, Limi-
ted, of London, who will henceforth
operate the mine. A formal deed to the
property was executed and placed in
the vault of the Boise City national
bank on the 23rd of February last. At
that time Capt. DeLamar received e2OO0
cash to bind the bargain.
BY the terms of the contract he was
to receive e93. 900 additional and retain
2O5,O00 shares of the stock of the new
corporation, or controlling interest in
the 100000 shares to be issued. On
Friday afternoon the sum Of E93. 900
was placed to the credit of ]. r. Della.
mar in the Boise City national bank,
and the deed to the property was then
delivered to Henry Bratnober. Mr..
Bratnober at once left for Silver City to
have the deed recorded, and then goes
to DeLamar to assume control of the
property on behalf of the new company.
BY this sale Capt. DeLamar has re-
ceived in cash eos. 900, or at the current
rate of exchange S463 900 in our money.
He also holds 2O5.OOO shares of the De-
Lamar Mining company, limited. with
par value of el each. This stock is
now selling on the London stock ex.
change at premium of shillings and
six pence. which gives his stock value
of $ll.275. 900.
A number of changes will be made in
the works, one of the principal of which
will be the enlarging of the mill from
twenty stamps to 100 stamps. The pro-
duct OF the mine, less the current ex.
penses, will be DEVOTED to paying divi-
dends, which will be declared monthly.
