animal sold for $500, being the highest
price paid, and was purchased by @. M.
Irwin, proprietor Of Elm Beach farm at
Wichita, Kas. AS Mr.. Irwin was elected
President Of the association at this meet
ing, he calculated TO strengthen his reputa-
tion as having the finest herd in the West,
by securing the best that was offered. Mr..

MARRIAGE FOR MONEY.
DR.. Parkhulst on the Tendency to Degrade
Marriage to the Level OF Commerce.

DIR. Parkhulst on the Tendency to Degrade
Marriage to the Level Of Commerce.
Il cannot dismiss this matter without
deprecating the tendency SO conspicu-
ously operative among us to degrade
marriage to the level Of commerce."
writes the Rev. Charles Fl. Parkhurst,
d. D., in The Ladies' Home Journal in
a paper on 1.-The Young Man and Mar
riage. This is not denying that there
are material considerations that in this
matter, as in all others, require to be re.
spected. A poor young man marrying a
poor young girl, with only the prospect
that their life Will become more and
more complicated as time goes On, is q
fool. l bavs had affectionate couples
wait upon me to be married and then
ask me to trust them for the wedding
fee. l think that We who are ciergymen
ought to refuse to marry applicants who
cannot show to our satisfaction that
there is no likelihood that either they
or their possible offspring will ever
come upon the town.
'NOr, on the other hand, does nv
objection lie against any amount of
contingent assets with which either or
both Of the contracting parties may
chance to be endowed. Ny only conten-
ton is that in every marriage not es-
sentially unholy the basal element is
love. and that marriages which are ar
ranged marriages which mean, first
of all, an affair Of perquisites or bar
ter in commodities, are distinct in
fraction upon the spirit of the seventh
commandment. The voluminous dis
plays with which we know such unions
to be sometimes celebrated only aggra-
waite the mischief and operate to teach
our young people in all conditions of
life that marriage may be reduced to a
species of traffic, differing from the
dealings ON the Stock or Produce Ex-
changes only in some of the details with
which the bargain is consummated.
Such examples are distinctly alien to
the entire genius Of the institution of
marriage"

MINING ON WOOD RIVER.
Favorable Showing in the Camas
No. 2 Mine

H. K. Thurber owner of the Camas
No mine near Haily, arrived in the
city yesterday, says the Statesman of
Boise, Ida. He reports the property
as looking well, though they do not
do any Dragging on it. The mill is not
running this winter, the energies of the
management being devoted to devel-
oplng the mine at greater depth. They
have been sinking from the fifth level
during the winter and have gone down
80 feet.
At the lower level the vein looks
we'll and the value of the mine has
been much increased by the develop
ment completed. A feature of the ore
at the new level is that it carries more
silver than that taken out farther up.
While it looks just like the ore from
the upper works, it carries 100 ounces
of silver a ton, an increase of 10 per
cent or more. The gold value holds,
the samples SO far taken returning $22
per ton.
Mr.. Thurber reports that the recent
cold spell was the most severe during
the winter with the exception of the
freeze at Thanksgiving time. The mer-
curry fell to 16 degrees below zero.
In speaking of the mines in that To-
cality, Mr.. Thurber said many of the
old claims were being revived and
worked under leases, and that the
prospects for an active season in the
mines were favorable.
Regarding the Croesus, Mr. Thurber
stated the owner. Horace Lewis, was
putting in a new mill, and the ma
chinery was to be in place by April
10 under the terms of the contract

Invites Cooperation of Capital.

Several good mining claims ought to
be opened up in this neighborhood this
coming spring, says the Brigham City
Bugler. There are numerous promising
claims in the adjacent mountains that
have had more or less work performed
on them in the past few years, but so
far they have proved of little value
from a shipping point of view. There
is no question but that there is plenty
of paying ore in these mountains, but
the trouble is to put sufficient capital
into the enterprise to uncover the hid
den treasure. AS a general thing the
owners of the claims are not financially
able to do this, so for this reason only
do our mining interests not show up as
they should. If a concerted action of
the mine owners of this vicinity, to the
end of inducing mining capital to take
a hand in a few of the most promising
claims was made, there is but little
doubt but that by next fall Box Elder
county's mining interests would have
advanced many rounds up the ladder
of value.

AROUND BAKER CITY.
Mining Outlook For That Locality
Very Promising.

Democrat, Baker City, Oregon: Mr..
Frank NJ. Leland, representing the Ris-
don Iron works of San Francisco. was
caller at the Democrat editorial
rooms yesterday.
Mr. Leland has been making his
headquarters in Baker City for a week
past and expects to remain here a
couple of weeks longer. Since his COM
ing he has visited a number of the
mining camps. On Monday he visited
the Bonanza mine and inspected the
working of the new mill plant recently
supplied the Bonanza company by the
Risdon works. He found every thing
working to perfection and secured an
other order for machinery, among
other things being an S0-horse power
boiler. He goes to the Bonanza again
today.
On his return from the Bonanza he
visited the Ohio mine at Cracker Creek.
where new mill plant has been COM
pleted by the Luverne Mining company
and furnished by the Risdon works.
Last Tuesday he went to the Flag
staff and inspected the mill plant going
up there. the machinery OF which was
sold by the RiSdon Iron works.
Mr.. Leland is highly pleased with the
mining outlook in the Baker City dis
trict and the prospects for supplying
mill machinery. He says the Risdon
Iron works viii secure the order for
six new mills to be erected in a short
time.
Mr.. Leland's acquaintance with the
mining districts of the west gives
weight to his statement that nowhere
is there better mining field than here
and his prediction that phenomenal ac-

rected this way. Mining men predict
that an unusually large amount of de-
velopment work will be performed dur
ing the coming summer and that some
promising ore veins will doubtless be
uncovered,
This mine is situated at the head of
Dry canyon.
Assays were recently made by Mr.
Squires of ore obtained from the Star
of the Valley claim, owned by gentle
men of this city. Eight pieces in all
were assayed, and the returns indi-

There are also men working a claim

mine is being pushed.

Rich Find Near Butte.

A large piece of ore was yesterday
assayed at the Butte School of Mines,
which went at the rate of $500 to the
ton. says the Butte Miner. The ore was
brought into the city by Butte man
who is interested in the locality where
the ore came from, but he did not ex-
pect any such returns. The find is said
to be near the Blue-Eyed Nellie, at the
head of the gulch on Lost creek. The
rock, like that found in the MayfioWer
mine. was looking stuff
but when smelted the gold ran out in
streams. Wien the ore was put
through the smelling process at the
Butte School OF Mines. no one was
more surprised at the wonderful show
ing than the gentleman who had
brought in the ore. He was, of course,
delighted, and refused. however. to
give the location Of the claim for OBJ
vious reasons. A number of gold but
tons were taken from the piece of ore
assayed. The character of the ore is
said to be similar to that found in the
Blue-Eyed Nellie, from which it is said
about $500, 900 in gold was taken while
the mine was being operated. The ore
was very rich while it lasted but the
leads were broken and pockety, and
several times pinched out completely
while the mine was yielding nagnifi-
cent returns. No work is now being
done on it. as the lost lead has never
been found.
