A sick person trying to keep up on mere stimulating torics IS like any one pretend ing to swim while supported by belt The instant the support is withdrawn down you go.
 Nearly all diseases result from a deep seated impairment of the nutritive powers which cannot be reached by any temporary collaboration. The only good that any med icine can do is to increase your own natural powers of recovery and make you able to swim for yourself.
 The facilitating weakness, nervousness and digestive disorder which indicates this state of mal-nutriiion can only be overcome by scientific remedy like Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which acts di- rectly upon the digestive and blood making organs, and effects the nutritive transforma- tion of food into rich. healthy blood, which carries genuine permanent vitality to every corner of the system.
 It IS vastly more nutritious than malt extracts. It does not paralyze the nerves, but feeds them with health. It is better than cod liver oil euulsions. Ii is assiini- lated by the weakest stouachs. It does got make ilabby useless fat but muscular strength and healthy nerve-f force. It is the oaly yperiect invigorant for corpulent people.

Free Ferry.

MEssRS. EDITORS:
 As many inquiries are being made about the Madison ferry, and why it is to be a pay ferry instead of free, the answer is not far 10 find. The same reasons that governed the school board of District No. ( Forrest City,) in making pay schools instead of free the past year actuated the County Court in the matter of the Madison ferry.
 The revenue of the county at present does not meet the current expenses of the county, when the most rigid economy is used. The current expenses of the county for the fiscal year ending in July, 1897, was Sl4. 002.71. The revenue collected for county general purposes to date was Sl2,90G.00, making deficit of Sl, ,096, v. The extension Of tax collection cut off our revenue considerably. If all the taxes had been collected. our revenue would have exceeded our expenses by small amount.
 l am fully aware that with many the change from free to pay ferry will be unpopular, and that l will be severely abused. Were 1 merely endeavoring 10 ride or the popular wave, l would con tinue the free ferry. even at the fabulous price that it would cost the taxpayers of the county For S20 a month, or $40 per annum, cash, the ferry could be run. On a scrip basis, it would cost $500 or 5000 per annum.
 In my eagerneSs and desire to continue the free ferry, others and myself tried to get taxpayers to agree to take $40 of county scrip at par to pay the ferryman, but our efforts met with but poor encour- agement
 The quorum court appropriated S2500 for roads, bridges aud ferries, and surely no reasonable man will insist that one fifth or one-fourth of that appropriation should be applied to the running of one ferry. However, goodly number have expressed themselves as being in favor of a pay ferry, The charges will be fixed so low that but few will have reason 10 com. plain.
 For man and horse the rate will be l0c, buggy and horse l5c wagon and team 15c or 25c for round trip. No extra charge for contents of buggy or wagon.
 trust and believe the experiment will meet with public favor.
 In conclusion, l have to say, give me revenue and l can give free ferries. good bridges, etc. But With the limited resour- ceS at the disposal of the court, expenses must be reduced and kept within our in- come. am unwilling to pile up the debt Of the county higher and higher. even if adverse criticism and abuse will be the cost of that determination.

Oogeblo Range.

The Metropolitan Iron & Land com
pany posted notices on Monday last an
nouncing reduction OF ten per cent.
in the wages OF all its employees at the
Norrie, East Norrie and Pabst, effective
Feb. /. The reduction applies to every
employe, from the unskilled laborer to
the captains and superintendents. The
uniavorable outlook in the iron market
is given as the reason for the cut in pay.
The Metropolitan forces were somewhat
increased during the past week, and
something like 425 men are now at work
in and about the mines OF this company.

Wages Reduced.

The Chaplin Mining company has an
hounced a reduction in wages, the same
To take effect on Monday next. The re-
duction will effect every man on the pay
roll, from General Manager MacNaugh-
ton down to the sample boy. This
reduction in wages was not unexpected
by those familiar with the ore market
and the price at which the product OF
the mine is quoted. No one can regret
the necessity OF the reduction more than
the management, and the cut was not
made until 1t became question OF shut
ting down entirely or reducing the oper-
ating expenses. The cut will average
about Ky cents throughout the mine
the men receiving the smallest salaries
being effected the least. The company
is now employing about $50 men. Few
have been discharged within the past few
weeks. and it is hoped that this force
may be maintained. The Pewabic com
pany has also announced cut in wages,
and a lew men have been discharged.
The reduction will take effect on Monday
arranging the new scale OF wages As
with the Chaplin company, it was case
OF reduce mining expenses or shut down
entirely. While the outlook for a pros
porous year, upon which the people Of
Iron Mountain had counted so confident
iy, has again gone glimmering, the situa-
ton might be n good deal worse-indeed,
even now, the times should be good
deal better than two years ago, when
the Pewabic company, with n working
force OF less than four hundred men, was
the entire support OF the town. Even
with the reduction Of the pay, which will
20 into effect next Monday, ID is very
doubtful II the Chaplin and Pewabic com
panies pay operating expenses the
coming year. This statement, 10 be
sure, will be ridiculed, but figures can be
quoted 60 prove the correctness OF the
same. Here in Iron Mountain We may
consider ourselves very fortunate indeed
II our companies are not compelled 20
suspend operations entirely for term
OF six or eight months. Neither com
pany has sold pound OF ore for deliv-
DRY In 1897. and advices from Cleveland
are to the effect that no sales may he

was clearly shown in a recent interview
with John It. Jones, there Is already
more than enough ore 10 dock and stock

II. +. Cole, OF Negaunee, general man
ager OF the Commodore mine, was in the
city on Wednesday. In conversation
with an Enterprise representative, Mr.
Cole stated that the only work ut pres
ent being done or contemplated by his
company was the opening up and de-
velopment OF the property, placing it in
condition Tor active and advantageous
work at any time the market conditions
should warrant such a course. But
about twenty men are at present en-
ployed, the work being in driving IA
crosscut from the bottom of the new
shaft, at depth OF 175 feet, the cross
cut now being in about sixty feet, run
ming at right angle to the general
trend OF the formation. The Commo-
dore is one OF the best mines on the
range, the ore being OF a uniform high
grade. The ore body az proven has n
width OF about 700 feet, running
across the property, and at no place in
the mine has the depth OF the ore body
been proven, at one point the workings
showing depth OF $50 feet, still in ore
With the betterment OF the market, the
Commodore will be great factor TO in
dustrial Virginia being an underground
mine it would be worked throughout the
year, it's ilimitable supply OF ore being
OF a quality which will sell when there is
any demand.
Under the direction OF the CONSOLE
dated Mining company, one shovel has
been engaged in stripping at the Noun
tain Iron property throughout the
winter, but was laid off on Saturday
evening. Under the terms OF the recent
Rockefeller Carnegie deal the mine will
in all likelihood be in the hands OF the
Oliver company when next reopened
which will be welcome news to the people
OF Mountain Iron. as il will mean a
more steady working OF the property
than in the past and the employment OF
well-paid, desirable workmen.
The testpitting on the Sauntry has
again been closed down and no work is
now in progress on this great property
The future OF the Sauntry is entirely
predetermined, but IL does not seem
reasonable that another season will
pass without something being done
towards opening up such an enormous
body OF ore.
NJ. l.. Fay, az agent for the Yawke
interests. has "A crew OF twenty-one men
employed on the testpit explorations on
section 3, 5S-l7. on the forty adjoining
the Alpena on the south. Six pits are
at present being sunk. Mr.. Fay also
contemplates doing some drill work on
the same property.

Marquette Range.

At the Lake Angelina they have cut
out fine plat for the third level, and
are in shape TO begin the task OF devel-
oping the ore deposit at that depth.
The mine is employing "A large force OF
men, but there is some apprehension as
to the future. The company has IA big
lot OF unsold ore. and the present out
look Is not very encouraging. The big
pile at Lake Erie ports Is OF excellent
grade, and II the market improves IL
ought TO go early in the spring. AT pres
ent they are feeling blue over the condi-
ton. The past three years has seen a
steadily increasing surplus OF ore at the
lake distributing points until now there
is greater lot OF unsold ore than was
ever had at a similar time Of year. This
cannot but have a depressing influence
upon the market. 1t will take little
time TO work off this surplus after bust
ness begins to boom.
At the Bessie mine, Humboldt, the
compressor is in place and running. The
power drills are big improvement over
the ones struck by hammer, and the
company will soon know something OF
what they possess at this mine.
The new shaft at the Republic has
reached depth OF 800 feet, and they
have started drifting for level, striking
paint rock, which indicates the nearness
OF ore. The mine is looking well, and
will be an active producer for many
years TO come.-Iron Ore.
