It IS actually painful to note the growth of sel6shness among young men and the indifference to the needs of their own fellows, or rather their indifferen nee to their own needs, for the best thing that a man can do for himself as protection against meanness, ill-temper, cynicism and harrow- -mindedness, is to engage in som service for the betterment of his fellow men.
 Archdeacon Farrell recently said, in tone nf lament, that there were multi tudes of young men who "deyote their whole lives to pers nal amusements and self indulgence, who never give to any good object, never strike blow fer any noble cause, never Say one single word or do one single deed, to make man purer or woman nobler "-Exchange.

BqcIe Sam's Islands.

Distributed over the mid-Pacific, in the neighborhood of the equator, are quite lot of small islands that belong to the United States Most of them are from 1000 to 2O00 miles to the south and southwest of Hawaii. Some of them are near the Gilbert archipelago and there is considerable cluster just about the lesser distance mentioned and directly south of the Hawaiian group, including

clded to fight the law compelling en- closed cages to be used At the time the bill was passed Tn the legislature it was believed much good would result from their use. Their use in many ot the shafts of Butte, however, has been found impractica ble, it is said, and the miners themselves are the principal ob- iectors. The miners say they are noth- ing but death trap and that they are a great deal more dangerous to life than the open cage In the copper mines the material rots rapidly under the action of the copper water and unless replaced frequently the doors are liable to become loose and swing into the shaft, contin- gency which would be fraught with great danger in a rapidly moving cage with men aboard Another objection urged against the cages is that the ground around Butte is so soft that it is almost impossible to put Tn good shaft and that in consequence some of the shafts "spring" in spots rendering the guides and wall plates uneven. With the open cages these spots are easily detected and the defects remedied before damage re, suits, but in the enclosed cages it is im- possible to see the timbers.

Key. w. D. F. Bliss says that the fash ionabIe churches are responsible for the increase of atheists, and that the minis ters of today have but little of the spirit which Christ sought to inculcate. To prove how wrong he is and how untrue the assertions are, all the ministers in the city are ousily engaged in hurling all sorts of abuse at the offending clergy. man. All the shouting and vituperation of the eminently respectable men of the cloth will not alter the fact that the la boring classes attend church very sell dom or not at all They have very lit tie confidence in the teachings of those who bow the head and utter that old platitude: "Servants, obey your mas ters" The congregations of our city churches are made up of nicely dressed ladies, anxious to display the latest fash ions; nine-tenths of the deacons are dry goods dealers who are in it for business reasons; and the really conscientious Christians are generally entirely over looked because they are not of the sort to parade their virtues before the public gaze. If the ministers really desire to increase the followers of the Savior let them do as He did-champon the cause of the poor and the oppressed. People nowadays care very little about the whale story or Daniels affair with the lions give them practical talks on mod ern subjects and the churches would have to be enlarged to accommodate the audience Exchange

legal controversy as the ownership of the famous Steiner mine near this city. The trial of the case, insofar as the owner ship of the property is concerned, was continued for the term and at this time there seems to be no prospect of a con- promise between the contending inter- ests, as was talked of at one time. The examination of Steiner in the contempt proceedings substantiated one point ot particular interest to The Paper. At the time of Stelner's last shipment of ore from the mine in dispute word was sent broadcast oyer the state that the returns from the 13 tons comprising the ship
 ment aggregated over 17,OOO$-a state ment so palpably ridiculous to those having knowledge of the ore that thls jourdal hastened to deny it. supple menting it's denial with the claim that the shipment did not return much over 2,000$ An attempt was then made in certain quarters to ridicule The Papers assertion, and the 17,000$ fairy tale was vigorously repeated with additional frills. Then, but without publicly prosecuting the dispute, The Paper took pains to the actual returns from the 13 ton ship ment was 2, ,163$, and the editor private
 y so informed some of his friends who had been led to take stock, in the ex- aggerated and harmful report. The Pa per's particular satisfaction rests in the complete verifcation of it's position when it was brought out, under oath, in the contempt proceedings Friday that from his two shipments Steiner had realized but about 3,000$. As it is generally known that the first shipment returned in the neighborhood of 1,000$, The Pa

The Times from Washington says: "There is good deal of demand upon the treasury for small coin. Director of the Mint Preston says the coinage of subsidiary silver and minor coins will be continued until sufficient stock has been accumulated to meet current demands. The available number of silver dollars in the treasury has been reduced about 5000 ,OO0$ and it is probable that an or der will be issued next week for the coinage into silver dollars of some of the bullion purchased under the act of 1890.

This law, which remains in force today, de- clares that whenever any citizen of the United States shall discover a deposit of guano on any island, rock, or key. not within the lawful jurisdiction of any other government, he shall be at liberty to take peaceable possession thereof and such island, rock, or key may, at the di- rection of the president, be considered as appertaining to the United States.

Marking gateqted GIaims.

The system of marking patented claims in the western states at the pres ent time is not as perfect as it ought to be. This fact is the cause of much an
 noyance, and at times expense, to pros
 pectors and strangers who are not ac- qualnted with the district. The neglect of owners to keep up monuments and posts and to see that the lines can be easily followed or traced on the ground IS as necessary after patentlng as 1t IS before; but, unfortunately, too many owners of claims which are patented pay no heed to this matter. They have their patent, and that ends it. The recent motion in Congress to have mining claims fenced, If made to apply to pat ented claims only would not be hard ship, for if claim is worth patenting, it ought to be worth marking, or the ex- pense of having it fenced, or at least properly marked Monuments are not always built in a manner, or of the material, which will stand forever with out being looked after and rebuilt. Wooden posts decay in few years and are easily destroyed or lost. A square but rough or uncut stone set on edge, and marked with a nun Der, as some are, is not easily seen unless near a monu
 ment. The best post which can be used is one made from inch or inch and half diameter iron pipe, with the top 6 or 8 inches made square to receive figures or marking. It can be marked with a chisel or punch M. L., N. E or M. L., N. C., or which would read, mining location, north east corner, or mining location, north center post. It can be placed in solid rock, by drilling a hole to receive it, and being more durable than wood, any marks remain on it for a very long time Stones can be built around it where that is desired. This is the best kind of post to use for township or other surveys, on account of it's being inde- structible, easily marked and easily rec ognized, which is not the case with wooden posts. Before a claim is pat ented, or prior to it's beng patented, notice of intention is posted on he claim, but after the patent is issued, the notice soon disappears, and there is seldom any notice at shaft or opening to say that the name and that it is patented property. In the case of a mine under operation this is not necessary, but in case of abandoned mines, or those not working, It is to them that the remark is made. The name of the claim, and the fact that it is patented, ought to be posted or painted in prominent manner at the shalt, tunnel or opening. If any one doubts the necessity for better marking of claims, he had need to take trip into some one of our at present abandoned silver districts and find out the cause of these remarks Mining and MetalIur- gical Journal
