Rev. J NJ. Patterson preached in Westminster Presbyterian church Sunday night on dIvorces. From 1887 to lSSS, be said. Michigan had granted one divorce to every twelve marriages, but Wayne county had made a much more remarkable rec ord. Chicago and San Francisco weren't n it with Detroit. From January tH March Is, the Wayne circuit court had granted sixty seven diyorces. and the county clerk had issued 422 marriage licenses. This was an average of ons divorce to six marriages In San Francisco, the average was one to seven, aud in Cook county one to thirteen, one to i,42S in Norway and one to 9.932 in Ireland. Mir. Patterson found that some Of the reasons were prevalence of free love ideas, deception be- fore marriages and the growing iu- dependence of women; but the su- preme reasons, in his estimation, were the ease with which djvorces could be secured. and the permis- sion to marry after being divorced. -EX.

IL has been accurately demoustra ted, says American Machinist,' that S0 per cent, of the business firms ol the country that fan are those that never advertise. There can be no disputing this statement, because 1t Is capable of being run down 10 a nicety. There Is no doubt that many thousands of dollars are an- uually thrown away in worse than useless advertising. but on the other hand II IS equally true that men that know how to advertise nev, T faIl to receive abundant returns. It mas always paid when properly done.
 That advertisers are unable to directly trace results does not al- ways signify anything. A good deal of casting bread upon the water must be done in every business, and because two dollars cannot be seen to come in where one goes o0t does not imply that the expenditure has been in vain. Business men need to study the art of advertising much more than they have been in the habit of doing.

day aud says that the mill is pound iug away steadily, while develop ment continues steadily in the mine. 4 depth of 3S5 feet has been reached on the property, and remarkable as 1t seems,the ore body continues free in character. and of a better grade than in the upper workings.
 The report circulated that the Jessie min had closed down is sim ply the outgrowth of some ones imagination. The stamps are still dropping on ore from this wonder ful property, and will continue to ss long as the water supply holds out. This latter proposition is the only difficult one to face Mir. Jones. but will be mastered, however, in the near future.
 Lynx creek is experiencing much prosperity at present, and it IS real ized now that bona fde develop ment work Is behind her. Three mills will be in operation in that locality next week, while the num- Der of claims being developed ex- ceeds that of any previous time in her history. G. G. Henderson, who is running a tri-weekly stage to that point, says travel Is simply beyond anything he has ever noticed, while a vast amount of mining supplies Are being shipped in. The creek is plastered from one end to the other with location notices, and a boom seems 10 be coming along.
 The Patterson mill in Gold Basin was destroyed by fire on the after noon of April 30th, and the origin of the fire is unknown. The mill was on the trail between the board ing house and the Cyclopic mine, and the probability is that some one in passing threw a cigarette into the inhammable material surround ing the building, which soon famed into a blaze. The machinery and material in the building is a total loss. The rock breaker fell from . height oftwenty feet and was broken into two pieces. There was no in surance on the property and the loss IS sconsiderable.-MOhave Miner.
