THE editor OF the Highland Press
has our sympathy, aud his readers
our deep commiseration. Itmust have
beena great strain upon him to string
togetherso many words to oawkwardly
express his indignation ut having
his senseless Inconsistencies referred
TO by the TRIBUNE. But a greater
aiiliction falls on whoever attempts
to read and digest his conglomer-
alton Of bile and bad English The
Press man denies that he ever de-
nounced the Mineral Point Zinc Co.
ms the "arch enemy and ruthlrss rob-
ber Of miners" He evidently does
not comprehend that his utterances
from week To week have been TO that
effect, until such OF his readers as
know no more than himself have
come to regard said company as an
enemy and a robber of miners. To
represent an institution as taking
advantage of opportunities to COM
pei miners to accept vastly less than
their product Is worth, In order that
extcfti1nato profits may be secured
to itself, is to represent such ipstitu-
tion as the enemy and robber OF
miners. The Press man has persist
emily made such representations con-
cerning the Mineral Point Zinc Go.
Would he have 1t understood that
he has only been talking for "bun-
combn--to extend his circulation
among gullible miners2

NOWHERE In southwest Wiscon-
sin are TO be found larger or more
comprehensive stocks of mercantile
good of all lines than in Mineral
Point, and nowhere else are more re-
liable dealers. As rule, VII you
see IL in an advertisement of a Min
eral Point merchant, IL is t1He." The
greatest fault Of our merchants Ii
undue modesty. By this the printer
Is the principal sufferer, and the
public lose something by 1t, too, be-
ing led to believe by the more elab-
crate advertising Of merchants in
other towns, that buyers can do bet
ter there than In Mineral Point TO
such buyers we say, don't be de-
ceived. whatever you want, look
for Il IN this city, and you will find
tiff anywhere this side Of the big
cities and at tire lowest living
prices. Remember this especially
before making holiday purchases.
The stocks of seasonable goods IN
this city are all that could he de-
sired.
