site may be developed. >:
The Burt, Rust and Hull mines
at Hlbbing are yet idle and
although when they were closed,
hopes were entertained that they
would soon resume operations.
there seems to be no prospect OF
Immediately resuming opera
tions.
The Security Land & Iron Co.
desires the assessed valuation of
the Shaw mine be reduced from
$40, 600 to $4,000. The Shaw
adioins Virginia on the south.
east, and is known to contain one
of the largest bodies of ore on
the range.
The Pillsbury mire at Hibbing
has begun mining ore by the
milling process and about 30
cars a day are now going out
from this property. Seventeen
mills have been opened from the
surface and when other improve
ments are completed a large
amount of ore can be mined at
this property.
At the Mahoning mine at Hib
bing a second level has been
opened up, and a much better
opportunity is thus afforded for
rapid loading of cars with a
steam shovel. The present
daily output of the mine is about
200 cars of % tons each. Strip.
ping at the Mahoning is continu
ing and about $50 men are EN-.
ployed on the work.
Eight men working in the new
shaft at the Commodore struck
for a raise Of pay Wednesday,
and received their time. The
shaft was being sunk on contract
and the men we're making $3.50
per day, which sum represents
more money than is earned dur.
ing a strike. The Commodore
at present has 100 men, and is
raising and shipping some 500
tons daily from No. 3 shaft.
Shipments are still going for
ward from the Pioneer mine
stockpile. The mine has gone
back to the old style of loading
lcars with ore by hand, not hay.
ing enough to warrant the ex-
pense of a steam shovel. The
cost is not so great as might be
thought. The men are recelv-
ing 6 cents a ton and are max
ing fair wages. Capt. H. B.
Sturtevant, the superintendent,
received Instructions to increase
the shipments of the Pioneer
from the present quantity of SOC
tons to 900 tons. This will pro-
bably require a steam shovel as
a larger crew than that now EN-.
ployed cannot work convenient
ly.
! The Chandler mine at Ely is
shipping ore quite rapidly. Sew
eral short delays have beer
caused by breakdowns on the
steam shovel that is employed
loading the ore. but aa average
of about 200 cars a day are go
ling out from the mine. Super.
intendent Pengilly is credited
with saying that he would try
and ship all the ore in the stock
pile before the close of naviga
ton. Should the stock pile be
shipped this season a large
amount of room would be left TO,
depositing next winters output,
If it is determined by the com
pany 20 refill the stockpile next
winter it will necessitate employ
ing a large number of skilled
miners ut good wages. AT pres

Whitman County Wheat Crop.

Farmers in Whitman county are
almost through plowing and seeding.
According to carefully gathered re-
ports from all parts of the country,
the cu!tivaled area this year will
slightly exceed 100000 acres. OF this
acreage between $4,000 and 100000
has been devoted to wheat. The wheat
crop in this county ranges from twen-
ty to forty bushels an acre, according
to locality. The average for the en-
tire county is almost always up to
thirty bushels. From present indica-
tions the yield this year will fully
equal this average and the wheat crop
of the county will be between 10000,
600 and 100000 bushels.
Judging prices at harvest time by
present indications it is expected that
the September price will be fully IS
cents bushel, or a grand total OF
from $7,0OO,O00 to 100000 for the
county wheat crop. Of this grand TO-
tai, fully two-thirds will represent in
terest on capital invested in farming

Cruiser Olympia Memorial.

To the patriotic and liberty loving
peonle OF the state of Washington
o. Sunday morning, May 1st, 1898.
Commodore Dewey, on board his flag
ship "Olympia' of the American Asia
tic squadron, gave the command which
precipitated the greatest naval battle
of the ages. A battle so well fought
that not an American lie was lost vet
in which the glory and the bravado Of
the Spanish fleet suffered total
eclipse-annihilated.
This was done, not in the spirit of
conquest, but in that most righteous
of all causes-a desire to give other
people that liberty, which next to life
is the most valuable thing in exist
ence.
"War is honorable
In those whose swords an iron barrier
Between the lawless spoller and the
weak"
The people of the United States are
proud of this great victory. Upon
every hilltop has the fire of rejoicing
been lighted from every hamlet and
every city comes the mighty reverbera-
tion OF the voices of the hosts of free
men and women shouting pRons of
Joy for the glorious victory of Dewey
and his gallant American tars.
Bnt to the people of Washington,
the proud honor has come that the
flagship OF the squadron which fought
the good fight; the first to cross the
dreaded submarine mines in the haY-
bor of Manila; the hip which in the
batIle's van was the first to send back
the shotted salute of the inhuman
Spaniard, was the cruiser Olympia,
named for our capital city. To us
then, in a measure, is naturally left
the privilege of preparing some suita-
BILE memorial or offering to that ship
and her officers and men that will
serve to commemorate their May-day
fiesta at Manila, and urge all who may
see it to renewed acts of valor.
We ask you, then, to contribute of
your means, to a fund to be used for
the purpose above stated.
Suggestions as to the form the me-
mortal will take, will be thankfully
received from any contributor to the
fund.
We desire to act as expeditiously as
possible and urge that you promptly
forward your contribution either to
you local treasurer or to Mrs. Ella l.
Stork, secretary, Olympia, Wash.
By order OF the committee.

MRS. ELLA I. SToRK, Secretary.

Great Britain and America

A London special says: Il is idle
to deny that the recent sensational
utterances by Prime Minister Salisbury
and Colonial Minister Chamberlain
bearing upon the American-Spanlsh
war have caused profound uneasiness
in political and financial quarters here.
Had it not been for the sharp veto of
Great Britain, America would have
been confronted several days ago with
the difficult problem whether to with
draw Dewey ignominiously from the
Philippines or fight combined Europe.
The whole subject and aim of Mr..
Chamherlain's speech was to advocate
an alliance with the United States.
and there is no doubt that he won the
approval of his hearers. There is no
doubt, also, that it is because the
British government is desirous of the
cOnsummation of such an alliance
that the fact is now permitted to be
known that Great Britain alone has
averted the actual interference of con-
tinental Europe, between Spain and
America. The British cabinet has
definitely and unanimously committed
itself in principle to an Anglo-Ameri-
can alliance, if it can be made upon
terms honorable and advantageous to
both countries. The British govern
ment, having committed itself 10 this
radical departure, has no disposition
t. drive a sharp bargain, and is willing
that the United States should deter
mine the scope OF the proposed part
nership, the general desire being to
make it as close and intimate as posi-
BILE. It is no violation of faith to say
that the ministry is equally unanim-
Gus in favor of granting the United
States the fullest British support in
resisting any interference from neutral
power.

SUe comes IIOIl the past ana Te-VIS1tS
my room;
She looks as she did then, all beauty
and bloom
So smiling and tender, so fresh and
so fair
And yonder she sits in my cane
bOttomed chair"
Many a man sits silent and alone il, a
home of mourning and 'conjures up before
his eyes the face and form of the woman
who was once loving wife and faithful
helpmate. In thousands of such cases the
wife might still be alive and well and
happy, had the man been not only good
husband, but wise adviser. Women
shrink from the ordeal of consulting a
physician. They shudder at the thought
of submitting to the obnoxious examina-
tions insisted upon by most physicians
In the majority of cases they have none
of this hesitancy about consulting their
husbands. A wise man will understand at
once that troubles of this description will
soon break down awoman's general health.
He will understand that a specialist of emil
nence and world wide reputation should be
frankly consulted at once. Dr. R. " Pierce
for thirty years chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute, at Buffalo, N. ", is one of the most
eminent and wide1y-known specialists in
the world. With the assistance of a staff
of able physicians, he has prescribed for
many thousands of ailing women. He has
discovered wonderful medicine for wo-
men, that may be used in the privacy of
their homes. 1t is known as DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It cures surely,
speedily and permanently, all weakness and
disease of the distinctly feminine organism
1t allays inflammation, heals liberation,
SootheS pain, gives rest to the tortured
nerves, and checks debilitating drains.
