There is weeks supply of coke on hand at the smelter
 In anticipation of the resumption of smelting the force has been consider ably increased during the past two weeks and work is being prosecuted in all the mines which are expected to produce ore The company has ex- pended upwards of S300,OO0 the past year in development work and the various mines look well and give prom ise of sufficient supply to keep the smelter running without interruption
 The Hoosier shaft is down 800 feet, and the Grey shaft 2So. A hoist is be- ing erected over the latter shaft. The Hoosier and Grey are among the best mines owned by the company, and are ,.-s.=@stetl to produce considerable ore.

 The supreme court of Arizona few wears ago rendered decision to the effect the mesquite wood is not timber. i After that decision was rendered.

IE Congress last Tuesday, while the
 Indian appropriation bill was under
 consideration, our delegate, Hon. M. A SmitL, made an attack on the pres
 ent system of educating the Indians.
 He declared that the Carlisle and
 Hampton schools were a mistake; that
 an Indian could not be civilized by teaching him to read and write and sing Q psalm The Indian, he said, must receive an industrial education, but it must be given him in the vicinity of his home, not in the East. In this bill, he said, $2,5Oo, 900 was wasted. Mr Walker (Rep) of Massachusetts agreed withEMr. Smith that the pres ent policy was unsatisfactory, illogi- | cal and impraeticable He moved to strike out the appropriation for the Carlisle school This motion was voted down. Mark Smith has done his best to place an item in the appro- priation bill for the construction of the Buttes reservoir, but it would seem

True CheerfulneSS.

Along with humility we should cul-
tivate cheerfulness Humility has no
connection with pensive melancholy or
simorous detection. While the truly
humble guard against the distraction
of all violent passions and inordinate
cures, they cherish a cheerful dis
position of mind. There cannot, in
deed, be genuine cheerfulness without
the appreciation of our own heart.
While, however, we pay sacred re-
gard to conscience, it must be en-
lightened and directed by reason and
revelation, and happy are the indivld-
uals who have arrived at that stage Of
development. The state of mind
which attends such a moral and in
tellectual condition is equally remote
from our dissatisfaction, desponding
melancholy and frivilous hilarity. l,
smoo,hs our paths and sweetens our
cup, rendering duty easy and aff1iction
light.
