To do his share of work,

And never tries to shirk.

All lions in the way,
Who's not discouraged by defeat,
But tries another day.
The boy who always means to do
The very best he can,
Who always keeps the right in view,
And aims to be a man.
Such boys as these will grow to be

President judge of the United States
District Court for the Southern district
of the Indian Territory, and his COM
mission was Immediately forwarded to
him at Silver Cliff.
When Mr.. Townsend was in Wash

assurance from the President that he
would be taken care Of. and the death
of Judge Kilgore gave the President an
opportunity to keep his word in a way
eminently satisfactory to both. Al
though Mr.. Townsend had the support
Of Mr.. Wolcott, his personal acquaint-
ance with Mr.. Mckinley and Attorney
General McKenna was the controlling
factor in the appointment. He served
with both in the House. and was a
warm supporter of Mr.. Mckinley in
his candidacy for the speakership. 1t
is probable, too, that Senator Teller
gave him what support he consistently
could. The appointment is for four
years, and carries with it an annual
salary of 5000.

REDUCED ORE RATES.

Denver. Oct 2.-The rates asked for
by the executive committee OF the
Leadville Pumping Association We're
granted by the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad Company yesterday after
noon. rates on ore valued at $12 or less
being rduced from So to - per ton.
and on higher grade ore from $4.45 to
So per ron The committee which came
down from Leadville about a week
since to secure this reduction has been
certain of getting the rates asked for.
MS unless such rates were secured. no
ore would have been shipped from the
downtown mines.
The effect Of the unwatering and re-
sumption Of these mines will be to add
to the shipments from Leadville not
less than 1000 tons per day. A recent
estimate of the present shipments
from the camp place them at about L.
500 tons per day. 1t will. therefore. be
safe to conclude that when the mines
resume active operations the daily ton
mage from the Leadville district will
not be much less than $500 tons. 1t is
estimated that the number of men to
be put to work when mining operations
are fully resumed will be between 400
and 500. About half of this number
will be occupied in the preliminary
work, pumping and repairing and clear
ing out the drifts as the water is low
cred The whole number will not be
set to work until the mines are entire
