In the Cnur d'Alene,

Late advices are to the effect that the
mines Of the C,nnr d'A.ene country are
all resuming work after having been
closed for several weeks by the recent
unusually high water. The Frisco mine
and mill started up last week. They ex-
pect to keep running continuously as
they can store about 600 tons of concen-
trates if necessary. The Gem has also
resumed active operations. The Poor
man, at Burke. is ready to start up in a
few days. The Poorman company no
longer uses wood, electricity and water
furnishing all the power. The improve
ments and repairs to the Bunker Hill Il
Sullivan tramway are still under way.
The change being made is watched with
interest by the people of Wardner. The
Northern Pacific has repaired it's road
from Wallace to the Frisco mine. 1t
will probably De another week before it
reaches PUrLn

THE MINING WORLD.
A LOCAL AND GENERAL REVIEW OF
THE LEADING INDUSTRY.

Placer Operations on nTop-o'-Deep--Mining
in Zosel District-Cmur d'Alene Mines
Resuming-The Drum Lumm mon-Thomp-
son Gulcl, Placers-Notes.
Mel McGhee came over from his placer
diggings on Top -o'-Deep, last Monday,
bringing comfortable consignment Of
dust. He reports very active season in
that and neighboring gulches and ex-
presses thorough confidence that that
section will this year contribute sur
,prising quota to Deer Lodge county's
output of placer gold. Several old time
owners Of good ground, who have been
inactive for years, have opened up for
extensive operations and the district
seems to have taken a new lease of life.
There are many valuable showings in
quartz around Top-o'Deep which. Mel
says, only need the stimulus OF a moder-
ate amount of capital to transform them
into notable producers such investment
and such development as are now being
given the Mammoth, which property, he
thinks, has passed beyond classification

The country in and about Zosel is con
tributing no inconsiderable to the gold
output this season. At the head Of
Rocker gulch Charles Danison is work
ing the Hoffman diggings, protitably it
is presumed, for he has an abundance of
water and the ground is known to be
good. At the head of Spring gulch F.D.
Lutz is piping off some rich ground, and
lower down Frank Herrin is sluicing out
fair pay. Farther north, in Deep gulch,
"Ped" Matheson has opened out piece
of excellent ground and will do well
during most Of the summer, as he has
succeeded in bringing in water through

1.-THE POLITICAL POT"
IT'S BEGINNING TO SIMMER PERCEP-
TlBLY IN POPULIST QUARTERS.

The Nominations to be Made by the
County Conventional yexed Question
Concerning the County Commissioners.
The State Convention, Monday.
Besides naming delegates to the State
convention, it will devolve upon the Deer
Lodge County Populist convention, which
meets in this city tomorrow, to place III
nomination candidates for county treas
urer, sheriff, clerk and recorder, assessor,
superintendent Of schools, county attor-
ney and three county commissioners.
The question has been raised as to
whether the commissioners, like the
Judge and clerk Of the district court, are
to hold over, the claim having been made
that the provision of the constitution
providing for their election this fall was
not properly promulgated. 1t is the cor
census of qualified legal opinion, how
ever. that the intent Of the constitution
was that the incumbent commissioners
90 out this fall and that it will so be de-
cided in a few days in a test case that
has been brought DeIofe Tue ulotllet
court of jefferson county.
AS to candidates for nomination for the
various county offices, but little can be
said. because little is known. There has
been something Of contest in the prl-
maries over the selection Of delegations
favorable to certain candidates for the
shrievalty, but, outside of this, avowed
candidates for the remaining nomina-
tions have been conspicuous by their
silence. It is not anticipated, however,
that any Of the nominations will 60 beg
glng.
Word comes from various precincts OF
the county that the primaries last Satur-
day were unusually we'll attended; that
good delegations have been named; that
great and growing interest is manifested
in the Populist cause, and that every
precinct will be fully represented in to-
morrow's convention. 1t is certain that
the Deer Lodge county Porniists will
name an invincible ticket They are
thoroughly in earnest and are going into
the fight to win. And they will win.

men of the church were called together and
said; we will not be disturbed by this woman;
and accordingly they expelled her from the

the shepherd of the flock came to look for
the ninety and nine, who had gone astray,
and Mary came also, shouting and screaming
forth. The shepherd of the. flock said; not so,
Mary. But Mary would not desist. So when
the Chief Priest came up from the South,
they declared; we will not have this woman
to disturb us; we will close the door and lock
ourselves in and when she cometh she shall
not be admitted. Mary came, and the
Angel of the Lord did break the locks

thus did Mary prove her fidelity to the
