This estimate of Mr.. Neil is not
based on any information furnished

is well known that early spring was
cold and dry, preventing the seed
from terminating. Then came excess
sive rains in May and June, filing tie
fields with weeds aud grass. The
United States Government report,
issued by the Agricultural Department,
put the condition Of the crop Oh July

ever known on that date. How could
the crop be universally good, as stated
By Mr.. Neill, with The rains and

Alabama These weather conditions
have differed in every essential feature
from The conditions prevailing in the

Doings at the Calf.

The HERALD people, in search OF
health, walked up to the Gait this week,
to note whatever recent changes have
been made on that property. They
found Superintendent Nelson and the
force pounding away at the ore and
pushing development work at II rapid
rate.
The main working tunnel of this mine
is in 1000 feet. 1t is nicely and sub
stantially timbercd, and drained by II
carefully constructed ditch under the
track. This tunnel is thoroughly venti-
lated by means of two uprises which
connect with the old tunnel 100 feet
above. About $50 feet from the mouth
of the tunnel a large station has been
cut where the engine and hoist are set
upon a foundation about two feet higher
than the floor of the tunnel. Here a
two-compartmcnt shaft has been sunk
$50 feet deep. This shaft is in ore all
the way down. Drifts both north and
south have been made at the so and at
the 100 foot level and considerable ore
has been blocked out which has not been
stopped.
The main tunnel is in orc most of the
way. Chutes at convenient places have
been placed IN, and large bodies of ore
are just ready to be rolled down, us soon
as an upward tendency in the silver
market will warrant it. The Gait is
shipping some ore right along. and will
doubtless continue to do so. The ore
house, assay Office, blacksmith shop and
engine room are models of neatness and
convenicnccs. Though the working
force here is not large, yet the effect of a
small pay roll is much better than that
of no pay roll. The wisdom of manage
ment displayed by Jonathan McAssey in
his relation to the Gait are highly no.
ticeable and worthy of favorable com
ment.

She had admired the men, and though
the years had come and gone and she was

abated. On the contrary, 1t had increas-

SO, nj as for herself she thought she was
intensely interesting. To young Mr.. Jones
she had been lately addressing herself,
and young Mr.. Jones usually fled when
she appeared, but or this occasion she had
taken him and was now hold
ing him in her thrall in a pretty alcove in
the conservatory. just beyond them sat
a pretty girl to whom young Mr.. Jones was
devoted, and he longed to get over to her
and GUST the vapid youth who, young Mr..
Jones was sure, was making desperate love
to her. But Miss Brown held on like a
turtle.
"Do you know, Mr.. Jones" she was
saying in her most intense fashion, THAT
the modern woman is an ideal to mef'

Mr.. Jones much against his will.

"Yesi" said Mr.. Jones, with a rising

Indeed, yes" she responded. Then
with deep earnestness she turned to him:

Young Mr.. Jones was absorbed in watch

youth.

sort of a way, most women who have
lived 40 years weren't born yesterday,

Later In the evening young Mr.. Jones
told the pretty girl how it happened that
Miss Brown would forever thereafter be
to him only a stranger .-Detroit Free

0o

B. G. Jones and Joseph Habcl returned
from a visit to Upper Sand Coulee yes
terday and brought the news of the death
of a man by shooting in a cabin near the
lakes on the main road to Upper Sand
Coulee, about twelve miles above Sand
Coulee. They stated that when they
passed the cabin Sunday morning they
saw n man there. When they returned
at ) p. IN. Sunday two men met them
and informed them that Il man was dead
in the cabin. They Investigated and
found a man lying in blood with his
feet toward the door and a rifle by his
side. They informed the authorities at
Sand Coulee and upon arriving in this
city notified coroner Weitman, who at
once left for Sand Coulec.
The Tribune wired to Sand Coulee
and learned that the mans name was
Adolf Matthews. known around Sand
Coulcc as ''Adolf." He had formerly
worked in the mines at that place, but
for the past week had been drinking
heavily and left for his home Saturday
night greatly intoxicated.
Coroner Weitman impanelled a jury
which returned a verdict of suicide.
The evidence showed that he had placed
the stock of a Winchester rifle against
the wall of his shack, placed the muzzlc
in his mouth and pulled the trigger.
The whole top of his head was blown off.
1t is said by those acquainted with
him that he had been Respondent for
some time, and is thought that this led
to sclf-dcstruction.-Grcat Falls Tribune.
