WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF.
Constant Drift Of Unconscious
Thought When we Sleep.

The psychologists of the first half Of
the century. and some more mod arn
writer's, expressed the belief that
dreaming only occurred at the moment
when consciousness began to resume its
sway. But in the North American Re
view for December DR.. Louis Robinson
says that modern investigators accept
the theory Of the metaphy ysicians, and
believe that there is Il certain amount
of cerebral action during the whole
period of sleep, and that the vast ma
jority of our dreams never come to
our knowlpdgr He thinks that there
is an unbroken current of ideas which
passes through the sleeping brain. and
which only reveals itself 10 the con
scious ego when some disturbing ele-
nlent interyeEes I'VE may compare
it to an invisible and silent river. How
ing by without betrayiny its presence,
save where there is splash Of i fish
or of a falling stone. or some foaming
eddy where Il rock breaks the smooth
surface
Dr. Robinson's article is lcng and in
tereStins. The conclusions at which he
arrives are as follows: Owing to the
unceasing unconcious cerebIation which
is 4 necessary concolnitant Of our power

A Cattle Man Commits suicid.

The Phoebe Lode has the following
special from Milford, Utah, under
date of June 28th:
The cattle herd numbering 1900
steers, purchased from Nevada people
stampeded last night nine miles south
of this place, Moroni Garfield, the
purchaser, being on guard. He and
two or three other hands followed part
of the herd towards Minersville, bring
ing them back to where he supposed
the remainder of the herd were being
held. To his dismay all the cattle were
gone, being scattered for miles. Can
field went to bed for an hour or so,
as he had been in the saddle for hours
and was completely fatigued' Arising
at early day break he partly dressed
himself. Seeing pistol hanging in
camp wagon he secured it and turned
the contents in his body. How the
people who sold the stock will come
out of this affair is hard to tell, as
only part of the purchase price of the
cattle had been paid.

what Montana Ntlne4ovvnets WIN Do.


A Butte dispatch says: The sudden
and outrageous slump in the price OF
silver has very depressing effect
upon Butte. Mine owners are asking
themselves will the white metal never
reach the bottom. Of course, all the
silver mines are being shut down as
fast as possible. The Alice, one of
the largest producers in the camp, has
commenced closing down. The mine
will make clean up and then hang
up the stamps. The Muldoon and
Lexington will probably follow suit in
a day or so. Several smaller mines
are also closing. All ore purchasing
has ceased. The copper mines will
not cease operations, but the question
of reducing miners wages from $3 30
to So per day is receiving serious con-
sideration. Prominent mine owners of
the State have issued call for State
convention to be held July 9th to take
steps to impress upon the forthcoming
extra session of Congress Montana's
demands. 1t is likely strong organ
ization will be effected, and Montana's
headquarters will be established in
