The water from the well driven by
the Well Drilling company on the
new school house grounds is of such
superior quality that many
neighbors are using it, though the
drive was but 81 feet. At the court
house the well is now down ITO feet
and still in sand rock. A depth of
200 feet will be driven unless a flow
is struck earlier. The water now
rises almost to the surface. Mr..
Cook says he believes that a good
body of water or coal will be struck
when the sand rock is passed.
Sheriff Waite last week purchased
from Matt Wight and sons OF Utica,
about two thousand acres of land
and the improvements thereon, the
price paid being approximately
$500. The land partially adjoins
Mr.. Waite's large prior holdings in
that section, and it's acquisition was
made necessary by the plans of Mr..
Waite for woolgrowing on a much
larger scale than heretofore. Mr..
Waite has sold to Col. j. H. Rice his
yearlings at SO and his lambs to j..
b. Long at 1925, top prices, but the
sheep were high bred and in fine con-
dition.
The articles of incorporation of the
New Mine Sapphire Syndicate have
been filed with Secretary of State
Hogan and a copy with Clerk Perkins.
The new company is organized to
purchase or otherwise acquire, and
to operate or dispose of mines and
mining claims in the state; also to
conduct, if desired a mercantile,
commercial and Industrial business
in connection with such mining
operations, and to do a portion Of
their business out side of the state.
The capital stock is fixed at 800, 900,
in shares of 81 and all stock is paid
up. The trustees for the first three
months are Geo. A. Wells and
Matthew Dunn OF Great Falls and
s. S. Hobson of Utica. Great Falls
is to be the principal place of bust
ness. By deed from Mathew Dunn
as trustee, and Messrs. Wells and
Hobson as partners, the company
has acquired the sapphire fields
formerly known as the Hobson-
Hoover group near Utica, the pur-
chase price being 800, 600. For two
years these fields have been operated
very little owing to litigation, but
the new company promises to push
work from this time on.

The British Medical Journal has
taken up the question of gum chewing,
and says: The question has been
raised whether there is any reason for
supposing that the practice OF gum
chewing, so prevalent in the United
States. is on the increase in this conn-
try. We have made some inquiries and
have ascertained that many young
women-students actresses and others
appear to have acquired the disgust
ing habit, and are inveterate chewers.
We have examined specimens Of chew
ing gum obtained from various fashion
able sweet shops in London, and find
as rule that ii consists of rubber fla
vored with aniseed or peppermint OF
some other aromatic substance"

HOURS.

zon.-H. d. Thoreau.
Rising, descending, on we go
Day after day, now fast, now slow.
The hours lift and bear us on;
Careless. we front them, yet each one
Is Like a softly rounded hill,
On which up-clImbing. IL we will.
We may the shining heavens descry
And far bounds of eternity.
Too oft we go with down-dropped eyes,
Nor mark the sort recurrent rise
or these small SUBMITS by the way,
From which, so many times day,
Souls that are wearied and shut in
With cares and griefs and doubts may win
breath of freedom as they press
To meet the next hours strain and stress.
Dear outlooksi raised by Gods own hand
For pilgrims through this border-land;
The upward way Is hard to gain,
Breath may be scant and strength be vain,
Yet every hour, If brave to bear,
Mounting to sunshine and fresh air
Our eyes may see afar unrolled

to look down upon the ruins of Jerusa-
