TIE lin MILL.

The Harney Peak tin mill is fast get
ting into shape to prove to the world
that American tin is TO be henceforth a
prime factor in the American market.
The iigs now in use are now "bedded"
and are doing most excellent work. A
portion Of those on the other side will
be put in motion next week and soon
the machinery Of the entire plant will
be at work. The upper set Of jigs where
the coarsest mineral is taken out haye
delayed matters as these must produce
their own "beding" and the mineral is
in consequence not yet as free from
gangue matter as that produced by the
other sets, but this difficulty is now
nearly overcome and the coarser min
erals will hereafter be pure. The min.
eral taken from the other setts is now
almost absolutely pure. The yanners
are graded 10 three sizes of ore, the
finest being an almost impalpable
powder approaching shines and are free
from all foreign matter. The product Of
the ores from several mines has been
kept separate and each shows character
istics of its own; that from the Cowboy
being lighter brown than the others
while that from the Gertie is nearly
black. A cubic foot Of dry concentrates
weighs 240 pounds; s;while a. frst thought
1t would be supposed that the same
measure Of wet concentrates would
weigh more than dry, it actually weighs
twenty pounds less, or 220 pounds; this
is accounted for by the fact that the dry
mineral packs closer than while wet.
The electric plant in the mill lights up
all parts Of the building like sunlight
and is the greatest of all great improve
ments. Mr.. Labram has had seige of
hard work and anxiety in starting the
machinery, but the men are fast Tearing
their parts and there Will soon be regu-
lar shipments Of black tin made to the
smelters, Hill City Tin Miner.
SOME RICH TIN ORE.
A body Of rich tin ore was uncovered
in the Car mine at Tenderfoot last
week. The ore is of the same quality
and appearance as large boulders which
were sent to London several years ago
and which excited the admiration and
wonder Of mining men throughout the
world. The original owners were at
great expense to find the ledge from
which these rocks were broken, but fail
ed. Since the Harney Peak company
have owned the property they have
worked it almost continuously and
though they have found ore OF much more
than the average quality since striking
the ledge, it is only lately that this ex
traordinary rich ore has been met with.
The crystals Of cassiterits are as large
as any ordinary mans thumb and look like
they had been thrown in promiscuously
with only sufficient gangue matter
mixed with them to hold them together
and cooled in that condition; from ap-
pearances the ore is at least 80 per cent
tin.--Harney Peak News.

Do Mon Like Prison Lifea

/ think, said detective the other
day, there must be fascination about
life in Jail, for certain men who have
been in there for little while seem to
leave it with regret, and do not lose
their interest in what goes on in prison
for some time after they are released.
Again and again have noticed men
who have been confined for a few
months come back every day after their
release and stand at the door, looking in.
They had no friends in there, unless
they made friends among the other
prisoners, and they did not speak or
wish to speak to any one. They leaned
against the grated door and looked in,
as if they wanted to come back.
| really think some of them become
attached to the life, and one reason is
that unless they are men of gentle feel
ings they do not feel the shame of their
position as long as they are inside, but
when they come out and meet other men
they know they have the Jail stain on
them, and they imagine every one sees it.

A Tow Horse That knows sometb,ng

low Horse That Knows SOmethinw
A Washington driver says that there
is an old gray hill horse there that some
times cannot get back to his accustomed
place at the foot of the hill in time for
the next car. This horse has nothing TO
do with the blue line, and knows the
difference between the blue and the
brown cars. If he is on his way back
to the starting point and sees brown
car coming, this shrewd animal will
turn around and stand alongside the
track waiting for the car to reach him.
No amount of coaxing can induce him
to move, but after the car reaches him
he will ''pull like major" until he
reaches the top. Then he returns to his
post, and when he again sees his car
coming turns and gets into position.
A day or two ago the hill boy, instead
of walking back with the horse or rid
ing him, as was his usual custom.
jumped on car and rode down. The
horse saw this and stopped half way up
the hill and would not move until the
boy came after him. Whenever the boy
rides on the car the horse stops half way
down the hill, but when the boy remains
with him the old gray pursues the even
tenor of his way until he reaches the
bottom.-Our Animal Friends.

The nearest approach to it was that
paid by the London Times to Monsieur
de Blowitz, its Paris correspondent. He
received $4,000 year, was allowed
rent for his Paris residence and for a
fine country seat in the neighborhood
of that city. But Monsieur de Blowitz
was expected to entertain the most
distinguished people of europe.
Kings were frequently his guests.
and it was by the most
lavish hospitality that he was able
to extract secrets that were reserved ex.
clusively for his journal. Horace Gree.
ley was content to receive a salary of
ten thousand dollars year as editor of
the Tribune. While newspaper outlaws
have greatly increased during the past
twenty years in the United States they
have certainly not attained such an ex-
travagant figure as that indicated in the
reported proffer of Mr.. Pulitzer to the
Chicago journalist. The earnings OF the
leading dailies of the principal cities of
this country are something prodigious,
but they have scarcely yet reached q
point which would admit of paying an
employee twice the salary of the presi-
dent of the United States.

THE KIRMESS.
It's Object One to Entitle 1t to Generous

Its Object One to Entitle 1t to Generous
Support.
Professor Bragdin's ideal of a girls
education is to make it development
and discipline that will enable her to
take care of herself. to come out with
implements by which she may be inde-
pendent, self-supporting if necessary,
and which will fit her to create home.
America looks today not to legislative
enactments nor to public organizations.
but to her homes as containing the bud
and promise of her future glory; for if
the home makes men and women and
men and women make communities and
communities make states, and states
make nations, it follows that the great
power moulding the destines of men,
women and nations, lies mainly in the
influence of home and its surroundings.
Other schools and colleges may teach
grammar, geography and arithmetic,
but an industrial school can best teach
how to use this knowledge, how to think
wisely and how to act nobly.
The object of the Kirmess, or Carnival
of Nations, is to raise funds to establish
an industrial and manual training col
lege in Los Angeles. Attend the Kirmess
entertainments. The ladies in charge
feel that they will give you value re-
ceived for your money, and have pre-
pared feast for the eye, to cultivate
the intellect. to purify the heart, and to
recall the olden chivalry which counted
no cost in doing worthy deed.

THE Republicans held their primaries
yesterday, and the cut and dried pro.
gramme was gone through with in the
approved style. They will hold their
convention tomorrow, and will elect del
egates to Stockton. This is all right
enough, and we have nothing to say
about that phase OF the political issues
State and national conventions are in
evitable accessories of politics. What
the people will take an interest in this
fall will be in the affairs of home gov
ernment. They will then serve notice
upon the Union league to show cause
why they should not be turned out of
the court house and city hall. There
will, of course, be overshadowing ma
tional, congressional and legislative is
sues in which Democrats, Republicans
and members OF all political organiza-
tions will be intensely partizan, but that
little issue between the taxpayer and
the tax-eater will be fought out outside
of party lines. This resolve is rapidly
crystallizing.

The Hon. William S. Holman, that
noble old Democrat, was nominated the
other day for the eighteenth time by
the Democrats of his district. He has
been member OF every congress except
three since the thirty-ffth, in which
body he began his congressional career.
If he shall be elected and serve out his
term in the ffty-third congress he will
have been in the house of represent
atives for thirty years. During that
period the great "objector" has been
of inestimable service to his country.
He has been a power in the line of
securing honest and frugal government,
and his II object" has been bulkhead
against extravaganza. 1t may be that,
now and then, he has opposed some
measures that ought to pass. His oppo.
sition to the building of the new navy
was an instance in point, in the opinion
of many of his admirers, but he deserves
the civic wreath for his long and glorious
record of retrenchment in public ex-
penditures and his inAexible official in
tegrity. Republican sneers are more
than compensated in Judge Holman's
case by the unstinted and cordial esteem
of all men who honor worth.
