When the Uuited States purchased
Alaska there was a murmer Of disapproy-
al run through the country, for we had
hundreds OF thousands OF acres Of unin-
habited territory. The frozen wastes OF
Siberia were not more undesirable in the
opinion of most people than the Great
Ameaican Desert. But the Star Of En-
pire led westward the army OF invasion
that came to make the desert blossom
as the rose" At last we instinctively
feel the crowded condition is almost upon
US, and this war seems another evidence
of that strange irony Of fate which does
all things for the best. The nnexation
OF the Sandwich Islands will open one
channel for the diffusion Of the surplus;
the PHILIPPINES another, Porto Rico, the
Carolipes and the Canaries others, and
there il very strong reason to believe we
shall soon see the day dawn on our couD-
try in the new role Of acquiring colonial
possessions, not for selfish purposes OF
revenue, but to extend to new lands the
boon Of self government. We may pas
title to some Of these island lands to
other governments, but will retain such

AMONG THE MINES,
rsost Picked Up Around the Crystal District and
Echoes From the nanv Mines.

II. j. Walter has gotten work under
way on the Mammoth Cave mine near
the Daisy, to develop that property, un-
der the supervision of Hoffman Brothers
The Mammoth Cave is owned by Messrs
Walter; Kratzer, and Nichols of Den
yer and is of much promise.
The Daisy is taking out considerable
Ore and jack train makes daily trips to
bring down loads to the smelter. Deyel-
opment work is being pushed right along
also, extending the drifts along the ore,
and a great deal of storing ground is
already opened up, so that ore can be
taken out rapidly whenever the company
elects.
The Lead King is only taking out
enough ore to keep p train of seventyfive
jacks busy hauling down for shipment.
At present work is being pushed extend
ing the lower tunnel to cut the ore body
at its level, after which the ore will be
stopped out. Two shifts are being worked
and the force employed will be increased
little later and the seasons operations
be carried forward rapidly as possible.
Work was resumed on the Catalpa last
Friday, and continued on the drift from
bottom of the incline until Tuesday ev-
ening when water came in faster than
could be handled with the pump. We'd
nesday work was changed to the drift
from the main tunnel, where after push
ing it few feet further sinking on the
some distance to the right of the point
where the water has bothered, and it Is
believed will escape further trouble from
that source.
In the Crystal Mountain Mine the
prospect is very encouraging for stock
holders of the company, to say the least.
For thirty or forty feet the tunnel has
been cutting highly mineralized lime
formation, interspersed with pockets of
lead :arbonates and copper ore, from the
size of marble to that of mans hat,
and the whole wall is most likely a CON
ccntrating proposition. The ore found
in the pockets is OF good grade. similar
to Lead King ore. When the foot wall
shall have been cut through body of
ore Of immense proportions will probably
be disclosed.

is being done as yet this season here is a

Little Gene.

Fenced in with n snow-white wall,
With its story sad,
or a DEATH deed mad,
And woman's fast downfall.
The fair pretty Gene
Was a household queen,
In her charming mountain home;
None who knew the maid
Would have ever said
From virtues path she would roam.
Each day up the trail
With "Old Dads" pail.
She would tripping lightly go,
With heart as free
as young life can be,
And pure as the glist'ning snow.
The "Old Dad" was rough,
And his voice was gruff,
But he loved the little child.
Tenderly and true,
AS most fathers do,
Mid the scenes of camp-lif wild.
Her life was a dream
OF a gurgling stream,
Flashing in Gods sunlight FREQ.
Each day sweet song
AS time run along,
To the Deltas of life's sea.
But in books she read
OF the gay life led,
By those in the city's glow,
And her loved ''Old Dad"
Was unseemly sad.
When she begged she might go.
And of course she went,
For the dear old gent
Could never say nay to his Gene;-
God bless you" he said,
Bowling his gray head
"And come back, my darling queen. "
Mid the city's din,
In its breath of sin,
Little Gene learned life anew:
And the dazzling glow
OF the passing show,
Was to her an alluring view.
Among happy days
OF odd worldly ways
"Old Dad" was forgotten at last:
She found new theme
In her changed dream
Glad mem ries we're lost in the past
False dreams that recline
In the blood red wine,
Led the fair mountain lass astray,
In the mellow gloam,
Where the AIDES roam,
Her free youthful days crept away.
One day came note,-
The last "Old Dad" wrote
Which she read with bitter sigh:
II beg you'll return
While / may discern
Your face again before / die
The sun had sunk low
And days dying glow
Was reflected from overhead,
When she came 10 camp,
From weary tramp,
But to learn that "Old Dad" was dead
Then long pent up tears,
OF the scarlet years,
In the swirling maelstrom Of sin,
Brought the burning thought
OF sorrow sho'd wrought,
Where childhood's happy home had
been.
A shot rang out clear
On the mountain air:
She lay at rest by 'Old Dads" side
"Old Dads" Little Gene,
The sweet mountain queen.
BY her erring choice was deaths bride
But if she erred,
Her resolve was heard,
That in death she could sin no more
And IN "Old Dads love
She might rise above,
To the bright sinless golden shore.
From little plot
In pretty spot,
Fenced in with a snow white wall,
Will arise a Fair
To the golden stair,
When sounds the Judgments bugle
call.

luton Of the various forage problsus cor
fronting the people at the present tine.
and thereby laying the foundations Tor
more intelligent and economical Tt"c-
tees in the future.
Included in the report are copies of the
series of questions addressed 10 Two
thousand stockmen and farmers inter-
ested in the forage question. The replies
of Montana correspondents have already
appeared in the Standards Washington
letters. Reviewing the correspondence
MI. Williams says:
"A glance through this correspondence
shows al once that not one. but many,
problems relating to the forage supply
demand attention. Localities having IKE
soil and climatic conditions may stiH dif-
fer widely as 20 the most pressing needs.
Thus. i'm one locality the greatest need
may be early spring forage; in another II
may be winter forage. and In sttll an
other Il may be summer feed. while in
many localities IL is a question OF a gen
eral shortage for the entire year.
THE study OF the forage question has
not been carried far enough 80 give us
solutions TO all the problems confronting
the stockman. but II has been sufficient
10 reveal pretty clearly the causes that
have led up TO the present exhausted con-
dition Of the range. 1t shows that 'he best
methods of handling the range have been
shortsighted. and that while these prac-
tices are being in a measure corrected py
the natural course Of events, II Is impe-a-
tive that steps should be taken 10 restore
and preserve the productiveness OF the
native meadow and pasture lands before
the destruction has gone too far. The i'm
provement in the native forage notlcea-
ble in some localities during the past one
or two seasons Is likely to be but tempo
rary. as already stockmen in these iocaii-
ties are trying to increase their herds and
the lands will soon be overstocked again.
In conclusion Mr.. Williams says:
"If zach ranchman and farmer could
but keep the land under his own immedi-
ate control up to the point OF greatest
productivity the indirect effect upon the
open range through decreased demands
upon IL would be decidedly beneficial. In
the absence of some rational system OF
control for the open range little can be
lone In a direct way to bring about net
ter forage conditions upon 1t. but much
can and will be done on private holdings
as soon as the ranchers realize, as they
are beginning TO do. that they cannot be
continually taking from their meadow and
pasture lands without adding something
TO them by care, occasional reseeding and
