Lead Ores shut Out.

\ representative of the Omaha and
Grant Smelling Company. in an inter
view in an Omaha paper. says that
the duties ON lead ore prohibited them
from treating any of the British Co
lumbii ores on this side of the line
and they expect hereafter TO do the
bulk of their business at the smelter
they recently purchased at Pilot bay.
and which they will start mp on Sep
tcmbcr 10th. President Nash of the
company says that owing to the rapid
ly increasing production of lead ores
in British Columbia more than one
smelter company would find its way
across the Canadian border in the
next twelve months. aud that these
smelters would he literally driven out

Cold Product For the First Half of 1897.

Gold Product For the First Half of 1897
State Mine Commissioner Lee says
the tonnage production Of Colorado for
the first half of 'oT as compared with
o6 has nearly doubled. Measured in
dollars and cents the increase Is but
70 per cent. There were J.12t more
men employed in mining for the first
half of '96, while wages remain prac-
tically the same. The successful rcduc-
tion of low grade ores by cyanide,
chlorinatinn and other chemical pro-
cesses. together with improved me
chanical devices for concentration is
opening n field to future possibilities,
little thought of few years ago. The
continued low price of silver Is adding
to the corps of gold prospcctors in the
field. Reports from outlying districts
from the northern to the southern
boundary of the state are most cncour-
agning and furnish good ground for the
belief that ere the close of '9I several
new districts will develop into produc-
ing camps. In general the mining dis
tricts are In more prosperous condi-
tion than at any previous time in their
history.
No reliable data MS to the actual pro-
duction of gold for the first half of '07
is attainable. The only people in whose
power 1t lies to give absolutely accu-
rate figures will not tell. The mining
committee of the Chamber of Com
mcrcc has made an official guess. plac.

The log chip is a fiat piece OF thin
board. loaded with lead on the circu-

the water, and to which the log line is
fastened in the same way that bow

line is 100 fathoms or more in length
and is divided into certain spaces called
knots. The reel is made to turn very

Weyler's Paper Promises.

Our "Greenbackers should rejoice

OF course under the circumstances the

are mean enough to try to defeat the
experiment by raising prices. So far
they have only doubled prices, but each
one is trying to see how high he can put
prices, and the end is not in sight.
Come to think of it, high prices, con-
stantly growing higher, have defeated
all past experiments with paper money.

WHY Europeans Are Safe Among Turks

The explanation of the safety of Eu-
ropeans among these fellows, even where
the police were absent, is probably to be
found in the tentative character Of the
Turks violations of right and of law.
In doing what is wrong he always be-
gins an abject coward, gaining courage
with impunity. The mere fact that a
European would walk straight through
a crowd of the bludgeon men, jostling
against them in an unconcerned manner,
convinced them that for some reason he
was not safe man to attack. In some
cases Armenians walked safely through
the mobs on the street simply by push
ing their way with determined air. In
every case where an Armenian ran from
them, or even hesitated on meeting
them, his only chance of life was gone
The tentative character of Turkish ag-
gressions is not sufficiently borne in
mind. At the beginning of a wrong even
a sultan will draw back when he sees that
his course is resented by one whom he
knows to have the right and believes TO
have the force to do So -Yvan Troshine

A Righteous Decision.

The supreme court of this state has
rendered a decision affirming the
validity and constitutionality of the
two cents a mile thousand mile tick
cts provided for by an amendment
to the railroad law, passed in 1891.
The law provides that one thousand
mile tickets shall be kept for sale at
principal ticket offices of all railroad
companies in the state, or carrying
on business partly within and partly
without the state, at a price not ex-
ceeding $40 in the lower peninsula
and S25 in the upper peninsula;
such tickets may be made non'trans-
ferable, but whenever required by
the purchaser, they shall be issued in
the name of the purchaser, his wife
and children, designating the name
of each on the ticket; each ticket
shall be valid for two years,
This statute has been on the books
for the past six years, but has be en-
wholly ignored by the railroads.
Perhaps they will hereafter comply
with its terms, now that they have
fought it through the courts.

Eggs Are Useful.

According to The Medical Record,
eggs are useful in the following applica-
tons: A mustard plaster made with the
white of an egg will not leave blister.
A raw egg, taken Immediately, will
carry down a fish bone that cannot be
extracted. The white skin that lines the
shell is a useful application to a boil.
White of egg, beaten up with loaf sugar
and lemon, relieves hoarseness-a tea
spoonful taken once every hour. An egg
in the morning cup of coffee is a good
tonic. A raw egg, with the yolk un-
broken, in a glass of wine is beneficial
for convalescents.
