At Rigby Park.
From out the confines of pavilion of
snow white canvas with trimmings the
brightest red foated late yesterday after
noon the classic strains of "Just Tell

1t was at Rigby.
1t was hardly an appropriate selection
for Sabbath afternoon, but the hard
working exponent of the song and dance

of the white duck theatre of the big fair,
knows no Sunday. The fog must De kept

That picturesque element of the big
fair, the side show of the midway with
it's lecturer Respondent in his diamonds
swallowtail, waxed mustache and ir1i-
descent grammar has arrived, in ell is
pristine glory. If the tickle August sun
will only deign to show his smiling face
today Rigby's "Midway" will resound
with the sound of the fakir and the ener-
getic harmony (?) of fearful and wonder
full brass bands. The hard headed coon
will expose his Uranium to the aim of the
base ball throwers, and the cane ring
man will earnestly tell you how easy it
IS to pay dime and toss ring over a
dollar cane, thereby making net profit
of just 80 cents. The festive photographer
will be ready to transfer your smiling
phizz to sheet of tin and the seventh
son or seventh daughter as the case may
be, for the sum of a quarter, will look at

will be to go out and pick them up.
The snake charmer from Dead Man q

flies just like ordinary representatives of
the bovine race.
The corn will pop in scores of peppers

he thought the free silver sentiment was

A Vic9.presldslt From California.

Ii the people of California stand con-
victed of any one charge; if they have a
ruling fault or a predominant imperfect
ion, il is an irresistible tendency to tear
down and belittle our public men. Let
a Californian elevate his head ever so
little; let ambition move him to rise
above the ordinary, and at once a show
er of ridicule and abuse is pelted at his
unfortunate pate, until, compelled to
give up in despair, he sinks back to the
common level. Our great men are liz
our cemeteries. To achieve distinction
with us, one must die, says 1.-The Wave"
in naming Senator Perkins for Vice
President on the Republican ticket. 'Tis
true, and pity tits, It's true" 1t is the
case in which the people are fooled all
OF the time. 1t is the inevitable excep-
ton. 1t is the prophet without honor
in his own country. Nevada has prac-
ticed it for years. However Nevada
has come to the turn in the lane and
talks home talent. She is evidently
coming to her senses The Pacific
Coast could profit by following suit and
standing by Senator Perkins. Many

There is a heap of talk about this
great, glorious and comparatively free
country being able ''to go it alone" in
the matter of money. The proud idea
is that if other countries do not like our
money it will be all the worse for the
other countries. OF course it will be,
but the other countries may not know
enough to know it. In Canada there
are already signs that if we have free
coinage of silver the Canadians will not
appreciate it as they ought to. In
deed the foolish people are already dis
eliminating against our silver money
which is thus far only in the shadow
of free coinage. 1t has been the habit
in Canada to accept American money,
paper and silver, at it's face value, just
as most Americans will take a Cana
dian dime or quarter. The Canucks
have become frightened at the extent
of the silver craze, and in the neighbor-
hood of Montreal street car conductors,
bankers, shopkeepers and others who
were formerly only too glad to get it,
will not accept our currency in pay
if they can avoid it. 1t is stated also
that every American who goes to Cam
ada is piled with questions until he
cannot rest and finds that there is
much suspicion Of American money. 1t
is at a big discount with Canadian
money changers and the difficulties en-
countered by travellers are almost as
great as if we were issuing fiat money
and silver in unlimited quantities with
its value constantly decreasing.
This. of course, only shows how little
the Canadians know. If we have free
coinage they may not know any more
than they do now. But we shall We
shall know that big country like ours
that cannot make other countries take
its money at it's own valuation is en-
tirely free and independent in financial
matters.

COURIER TUESDAY, AUGusT ill., sa

from the town OF Jackson went to the
mine and carried two hundred pounds
OF ore back to their home, which they
there made into the first iron ever
smelted from Lake Superior ores. Two
years later ores We're smelted at forge
near the mine, but the industry never
prospered, and was discontinued for
few years. Soon after the opening Of
the jackson mine the Cleveland and
Lake Superior were discovered and
opened. and these three continued to be
the leading mines of the Marquette
range and among the largest of the
entire Lake Superior region. 1t is a
surprising fact that while the Jackson
ground and that of the others have
been explored for forty years, there
were found near by this summer very
large deposits of high-grade ores. That
at the Jackson was found after uncov-
ering the ground for a railway cut, and
vast and rich deposit at the Cleve-
land was opened under the bed of Lake
Angelina, the 100000 tons of water of
which was pumped out by the three
mining companies whose lands adjoin
the lake. The Marquette range was in
operation for twenty-five years before
any other district was opened to share
the fortunes OF the trade. In 1877 the
Menominee, lying parallel with the
Marquette and about twenty miles
south, made it's first shipments. The
first ore shipped from the Gogebic was
in 1884, and in its third season the
range won 1,322.000 tons, quarter of
all the ore mined in the entire lake dis
trict. Closely following it came the
Vermillion range in Minnesota, which
to the present year has been controlled
by the Minnesota company. The latest
addition to the ranks of the iron pro-
ducers of the lake region was the Mes
aba, whose discovery caused so much
excitement in 1892, and whose first ship
ments were made in the following year
The Mesaba in its third summer sent
2.7S1, 900 ions, and will this year lead all
the ranges by the production of not less
than 4,500,000 tons, more than all the
mines Of the lake up to nine years ago
