notwithstanding the shutting down
of the North Star mine, on the East
Fork of Wood river, which supplied
the ore, the Ketchum smelter is still
running steadily, and likely to con-
tinue in operation without Interrupt
ton, as a supply of ore sufficient to
run the furnace sixty days is on hand
at the works. This supply was laid
in against the expected spring break
up of the roads during which it will
b. next to impossible to haul heavy
loads. All other supplies can be pro-
cured by rail. There is therefore no
probability of the smelter's being
shut down.
At the North Star mine only SIX
men arc working at present. They
are employed in driving tunnel
which will cut the vein below the
point where the most water comes,
and thus enable the nine to be op-
Grated without much pumping.

We are no alarmist, but in the
great crisis of nations and kingdoms
when the conditions are such as to
breed discomfort to such an extent as
to overthrow existing conditions
higher grounds are always taken in
human progress as the result of such
revolutions. The statesman WHO is
not wise enough in a glance over the
world to see a great crisis is pending
and even in the United States, is too
dull of comprehension to be entrust
ed with the great affairs of State. A
great revolution in society is taking
place in our own country. Too many
mediocre men are seeking positions
of ease to live at the expense of the
people who toll to develop our great
resources whose emoluments are en-.
joyed by those who neither toll noI
labor in the great changes going on
about us.-Washington Independent

Five of the city pastors who had
been favorable to the Academy and
had talked for it and patronized it,
demonstrated with the superintendent
for allowing dancing to be taught
in the institution, but he ignor-
ed all remonstrances. Final y the
FIVE ministers held formal meeting
and adopted resolutions calling upon
their members not to attend any Of
the receptions. The effect was mag
ical and the church members, and
also many others, began to withdrsw "
their patronage and the academy was
almost boycotted. The result was
the superintendent became so indig-

c'uded that decomposed matter Of !.

they went up to investigate. The
sight that met their gaze proved their
conclusion to he correct. The ledge
carries quite a lot of sulphurets Of
IRON ana q blush black metal some.
what resembling galena and antimo.
nv nut IS not exactly like either in
color and structure. When the bov.
bought half sack full Of ore to town
the experts were considerably ex-
cited, some pronouncing the ore an
t'mony and silver, others argentifer-
ous galena, and still others said the
blush black metal was zinc. The
expert Of the WORLD pronounces the
metal none Of those mentioned. but
as 80 many experts have differed with
4
him, IT IS not worth while now to saw
what it is. An assay will soon be
made, and we predict that a number
OF ore sllarps will be considerably
surprised when they see the ASSAY
certificate. The ore carries neither
gold nor silver, at any rate not in
paying quantities, but the find is q
valuable one. If it develops as
indications promise the mine will be
worth a pile of money. The vein
was covered with five or six feet oi
soil and was capped with granite. A
cut was washed out about seven fee,
wide, and both sides and the face
show metal and mineral, but the
" most highly metaliferous ore" is IN
the bottom OF the cut. The bows will
follow the ledge into the hill with A
tunnel and cross-cut each way to the
walls, then more will he known of the
find. The claim is located a mile
and half or two miles southwest oi
town. The WoRLp's expert would
tell you just what the metal in dis.
pute is, but doesn't desire to humili.
ate other experts by telling them, af
ter test by thorough mineralogis'
I'll told you so." This would be
unprofessional and show a lack oil
courtesy, but the temptation would
be too great to resist. We will
say this, however: In the language
of the "Son of Erin" it's a tin te
one bet" that the metal is not zinc
neither is it galena nor antimony
