A Valuable AutOgraph.

An autograph fiend from New York
was recently visiting a friend in Detroit,
and naturally he brought his album
along, and he also talked much on auto
graphs, their rarity, value, etc.
Well" said the Detroit man one day,
after a list Of high priced autographs had
been shown him, your figures are
not in it with one | saw here some years
ago"
'.Whose was it, asked the friend with
much interest.
"a gentleman's living here at the
time, but now dead"
What did it bring"
Two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars"
CAV, come off. [ know autographs,
and I know one never sold for such sum"
"Just the same I tell you this one
did"
who paid for it,"
Zone of the banks in the city. 1t was
On a check, and the same autograph
would have brought a million. net. if
the gentleman had happened to want
that much for it."
After that the fiend put his album in
his trunk and left it there.-Detroit Free
Press.

Two Remarkable Epitaphs.

The two most remarkable epitaphs in
the United States are those of Daniel
Barrow, formerly of Sacramento, and
that of Hank Monk. Horace Greeley's
stage driver. The former reads as fol-
lows: Here is laid Daniel Barrow, who
was born in Sorrow and Borrowed little
from nature except his name, and his
love to mankind, and his hatred for red
skins. Who was nevertheless a gentle
man and a dead shot, who through a
long life lever killed his man except in
self defense or by accident, and who,
when he at last went under beneath the
bullets Of his cowardly enemies in jeff
Morris saloon, did so in the sure and
certain hope of a glorious and e%verlast-
ing morrow"
Hank Monks epitaph reads thus: "Sa-
cred to the memory of Hank Monk, the
whitest, biggest hearted and best known
stage driver of the west, who was kind
to all and thought i'll of lone. He lived
in a strange era and was q hero, and the
wheels of his coach are now ringing on
the golden streets."-St. Louis Republic.

The Call Leads the Procession.

We call the attention Of cur reaCers
to the advertisement Of The Gall III
another column. Since it's reduction
in price The Call is the cheapest
daily in Nebraska, and its spicy aud
independent policy is too well known
to need comment from rs. In reduc-
ing the price of The Call so as to put
it within the reach of everybody, the
management have placed themselves a
decided step in advance Of all other
publishers in the state. This is an era
of popular prices for the newspaper,
and The Call is, as usual, at the head
Of the procession.

Temperature for Growing Mushrooms.
The mushroom in American pastures
seldom starts into growth before the end
Of August or September, when the tenn
perature of the soil has reached about 60
degs.; hence this is taken as the temper

room ought to endeavor to maintain in
order to successfully grow this vegeta-
BILE. Avery experienced c%ultivator. how
ever, states that he has fourd this tenn
perature to be rather too high in growing
the mushroom in houses prepared for the
purpose. He finds that he has much bet

THE HADJps REST.

The hadji said. IF DER my tomb
Should grasses wave and roses bloom,
And ii VITA tears the spot should be
Sometimes believed for love OF me.
My rest Nyorld be a blissful rest,
And / would count the hadjl blest."
No roses deck the hadji's grave
He sleeps beside a foreign wave
And never woman's eye grows dim
In that strange land in thought OF him:
And yet no doubt the hadji's rest
Is quite as sweet as If his breast
Were b. a million roses pressed
And woman made his grave her Guest.

DRUM LUMM0N REPORT.
The Suit Of the St, Louis<E Company.
Cost the English Companya
Large Sum.
----
Gross Loss for Six Months Was
Nearly Fifty Thousand
Dollars
The Drop In silver and the Lawsuit Had
Great Deal to Do with the Unfavor-
able showing.

Tho report Of the directors OF the Mon
sana Mining company for the half year
ending June 80 has been received. The re-
port shows that tho reconstruciion OF the
company was SUCCESSFULLY carried ont. vir-
tually with the unanimous cooperation OF
the stockholders Of the old company. or
tho total nominal capital, 657. .15s shares
have been issued, leaving . S42 shares still
at the disposal Of the company. The rev
snue account shows gross loss OF al9.-
24S, in which. however, certain items, over
and hey ond tho ordinary working expenses
and ohsrgesble to special accounts. are in
cluded. namely: Cost of lawsuit, 47 249;
permanent improvements. Gs6l; recon-
struction expenses. 92.0ss; p' 'oportion Of
income tax charged to the present COM
pany, GloS. The ore treated for the six
months in the mills produced $245,o4 in
addition the dam tailinas yielded 2S6O.
The actual realized. and realizablo value OF
the yield amounted to only $2oS, 1856, tho
difference amounting to $59.S2a. or 20 81
per cent. The heavy difference in realiza-
tion was chiefly due to the low price of
silver as compared with its coinage or as
say value. The following table shows how
the drop" In silver affected the profits OF
the Drum LumMon:
The Helena independent., 1893-12-06

Referring to the suit of the ST. Louis COM
pany, the directors say: "In the cit cular OF
18th OF May last the directors announced
the successful termination of the lawsuit
tho ST. Louis Mining and Milling company
to recover alleged damages amounting to
G4OO, 900. They have pleasure in informing
the sha, eholders that the plaintiffs in that
action having failed to appeal within the
period prescribed BY law. the decision then
rendered, which was in the company's favor
on oil points, cannot now be disturbed.
The di ecto,s regret to state. however. that
the 81. Louis company are still harassing
the Montana Mining company with further
LITIGATION, the nature of which will bs fully
explained at the meeting; but in view OF the
defeat the 81. Louis company sustained in
the suit recently decided. the directors are
sappuine Of gaining another decisive verdict
should the actions lately instituted be
brought to trial"
In his report Manager Bayliss says:
"Tks ,nost gratifying incident OF the past
half year ia the successful result attending
ths protracted trial Of the important suit
Brought against the company by the ST.
Louis Mining and Milling company. our
neiQhbors on the west side of the Nine
Hour claim, by which We obtained full
Judgment with costs; and take this OPP
portunity of publicly expressing my thanks
and sense Of personal obligation to the e1n-
lUeIt COuu6oL nAu OAkSAs a"v'ooA . wv AAo@
BY the company for tho able and indefati-
gable assistance rendered in the prepara-
tion and trial of the case.
I'm common with every enterprise In this
country We have suffered from the wide
spread financial disturbance Of the past two
months and the heavy depreciation in the
value Of silver. Since the ooiiapse of this
market in June We have been unable to
realize our concentrates, as the smelters re-
fuse, In the present unsettled condition of
affairs, to make an offer for the purchase of
this product; and in consequence OF the
scarcity of Gu ,rency our gold and silver bull
lion, which has heretofore been disposed Of
for cash, is now purchased subject to pay
ment in New York exchange. Our position
during the past two months has, therefore,
been one of considerable embarrassment.
for whilst our financial position is
thorougly secure. the temporary curtail-
ment Of income and the delay in the
realization of our product have carsed Us
much Inconvenience, only allayed by your
prompt ,emittances from London and the
accommodation extended to as by the
Merchants National bank, OF Helena. I'm
der the conditions now prevailing l hesi-
tate to make any 70 ecast of the future, but
I venture TO hope that you will feel rcas-
sured by the Improvement shown in the
past four months operations and with the
probability OF some legislation favo: able to
silver see no reason why this improvement
should not be maintained and the future
prospects Of the company advanced In q
material degree by the results OF develop
ment work now In progress"
