and upright in all other walks of life.
will lie when talking mines, and evil
IDENTIFY it is expected. So common
place has this practice become that it
would seem that one must greatly eX-
aggerate his talent statements in or
der to have a small portion of the
truth believed. In part, this habit or
custom is no doubt due lack of know
ledge of mining affairs, When de-
scribing vein it is so easy to give
its greatest width as its average
width, and the greatest value as the
average value, that it is done most
Inadvertently, and not looked upon
in the light of misrepresentation of
facts, and is not done with purpose
to deceive, for there are facts to SUBJ
stantiate a portion of the statements
at least. Then, too, mining is such
an enticing business.
Who may say that a vein 4 feet
wide at the depth, and who shall dare
to assert that the when $100-rock has
been found in the small vein. that the
whole 40 feet will not be $100-ore in
depth, and the promoter gives the
mine the benefit of the doubt, worked
up by his own enthusiasm, and states
it first as a probability. After repeat
ing the statement few times to vari-
Gus people and revolving the great
possibilities of the mine i'm his mind,
the probability becomes fact and is
stated as such without hesitancy, and
he becomes indignant at even sug-
gestiOn that he is dealing in fancies.
1t must be enthusiasm that causes up
right men to mistate facts concerning
the development of value in a mine,
and as this peculiar human weakness
is recognized, every one seems willing
to over look the unguarded sta tements
and to make due allowance for enthu-
siasm, and if, after such deduction is
made, there still remains fair sort
of business proposition, some mining
engineer who is unenthusiastic is
usually employed to ascertain the
truth.-Mining and Scientific Press.

Help with all their Might.
The first regular meeting of the
Vermilion-Mesab Firemen's Asso-
citation took place at Virginia Tues
day. The minutes of the organiza-
tion meeting were read and accepted
and after the regular order of business
had been gone through with, resolu-
tion as follows was presented by Sec
ond Vice President Smith of Virginia,
the same being adopted:
"Wheras. Ely being the Oldest town
of the two ranges. therefore be it re-
solved that the first Tournament be
held at said city of Ely on Labor Day.
September 4, 1899. Be it further re-
solved that each department Of the
different range towns elect one of
their company as delegate to attend
a convention to be held at Virginia
on August 9Th, at the City Hall at
2:30 P. M, for the purpose of arrang-
ing and deciding the races and eXer-
ciSeS to be contested for at said Tour
nament and date aforesaid, and to
adopt such rules and regulations I'M
der which the races and exercises
shall be governed and to draft set of
bylaws for the association"
On motion duly carried the secre-
tary was instructed to furnish a COPY
of these proceedings to the range
papers for publication All prizes to
be given the different races to be set
by the department where tournament
is to be held.
The meeting adjourned until Aug
ust 9TH when the rules governing the
tournamenJw will be drafted and also
a code of bylaws adopted,
1t now behooves our citizens to get
together and push this thing actively.
Firemen's tournaments are upbuilders
of towns and one of the best adver-
tisements a town can have, besides
greatly increasing the efficiency of
the departments taking part. some
thing every city should be proud of.
1t will require the united action of
all our business interests and the CO.
operation Of all Of our citizens to sue
cessfully terminate this two-day event
in which all the range towns having
departments will take part. 1t is ex-
pected that not less than 1000 people
in addition to our own people will be
here at this time and 1000 is a small
estimate. Something must be done
to entertain these people and money
must be had.
Either Of the Mesaba range towns
claim they can raise from $500 to $500
for prizes and entertainment and we
believe Ely can do the same, or much
better. Ely has never taken back
seat in the matter of cash and will
not this time. The tournament must
be kept going and pushed with will.
There is much to be done and the
sooner it is done, the better it will be.
The Michigan towns have gala week
once year among the firemen. This
year the tournament takes place at
Marquette where the city has hung
up $4,000 in prizes.
We cannot do as well as this but
let us do the best we know how. Let
us show the Mesaba boys that their
confidence in Ely was not misplaced
in giving us the initial tournament.

Business and Politics.

A correspondent of the Little Rock Democrat was visitor in Green Forest last week and he reported the following to his pa per, which, in some respects, is quite as interesting as it is newsy:
 "Green Forest is on a boom. Ten new houses are now in the course of construction. The saw and hammer can be heard on all sides. One of the buildings is nice stone business house of two storerooms. The others arc dwellings. Green Forest is the stopping placo of travellers to the mineral belt, and she profting much therefrom. The liverymen can scarcely supply the demands for transportation. Hon. F. O. Butt has just completed beauti- home at the place.
 The political crop in this coun- ty is yet in dorman: state. No candidates for ce unty offices are yet spoken of, although amost |. complete change of officers will be made at the next election. Not more than two of them will offer for reelection. The friends of Hon. F. o. Butt are urging him to run again for representative. Should he conclude to do so, his election is assured. He will be q formidable candidate for speaker"

 Joe Seals was arrested Monday charged with grand larceny, the complaint being made by Irene Turner who alleges that Seals, on the night of July 5th abstracted from her premises fine calf which he drove to Missouri and sold. Seals waived preliminary examin- atlon and was bound oyer to await the action of the grand jury, and failing to give bond was commit ted to jail. He doesn't deny driving away and selling the calf, but claims that it's owner owed him S7.75 which he was unable to collect and he took the calf to col lect his debt and sold it for $500, but didn't turn over the 25 cents because 1t was worth more than that to drive the calf to where he could find buyer.-Progress.
 A few of the mischievously in- clined boys of Carrollton played a Joke on Merchant J. J. Inman of that place few nights ago, which almost tickled them out of their boots. A story was conceived by the boys to the effect that an old misor, who had passed in his checks long, long time ago, was buried, together with a lot of money, at certain point not far distant from the site of the histor- ic old town, and as the story went, the old miser's money was no good to him now; so the boys interest ed MT. Inman in scheme by which the supposed grave should be opened and the filthy lucre, if any there was, be extricated from his decayed old misership. Ac. cordingIy, r. A. Sartin was detail ed to go with Mir. Inman and do the digging. Repairing to the scene of operation about 10 o'clock in the evening, they pat tools in rapid action. A considerable hole had been excavated, when To and behold 1! ghosts, spooks, and hob- goblins began 10 appear, clad in long, white robes. Just then Mir. Inman's business lay rolling, and from what the boys say, it rolled with wonderful rapidi:y. Now the boys are slowly ecovering from a narrow escape from having laughed themselves to death,
