The Deer Trail Mining Company of
Spokane has declared the regular mon

a total Of $45, 900 paid in monthly prof

A Montreal syndicate has secured the
Coruneopia group Of mines in Eastern
Oregon. While definite figures are
not made public, it Is known that the
property is in the immediate vicinity
Of $4,000. The Montreal syndicate
chose to make the deal quietly, and the
identity Of the parties who are promi-
nent in 1t is concealed from the pub
lie. London capital is at the back OF
the deal.
Thirty-two thousand dollars in gold,
representing the monthly output of one

arrived in Sumpter, Ore, one day last

proximately $4,000 of the yellow stuff

Copper brokers, smelters and miners
all agree that the marvellous increase
in the demand for copper metal that
has developed during the last year is
going to continue. The mines of the
world are not producing anywhere
near as much copper as il needed to
carry on the tremendous electrical i'm
provements that are in progress. The
United States is the great copper pro-
dueing country Of the world. The
average production OF the United
States for some years past has been in
the neighbOrhoOd Of 10000 tons per
month. At the present time there Is
not ton Of free copper in the country.
That Is to say, all the copper that has
been produced up to the present time
Is now in the process Of manufacture.

He is a free man if he has the means
OF livelihood, and Is assured in their
possession; if he is independent of
others. But If he is dependent upon
some other man for the means of earn
ing a livelihood he is not free. Free
dom, in fact, which in its highest effect
is self-sacritice, and of the skies. is
chained to the earth in the question Of
necessity, as certainly as the soul is
chained to the earth in body. 1t is
only occasionally a political affair, a
civic affair; it is constantly a social
affair, pecuniary affair, an economical
affair. 1t is true that in tyranny the
richest ere not free, but in 4 democracy
not only is no man free, without the
means of livelihood, but the richer man
is always frccr than the poorer man,
as he is in every state.
The man who is in danger Of want,
or even in dread Of want. is not free
man, and the country which does not
guard him against this danger and this
dread, or does not assure him the
means Of livelihood, is not free coun-
try, though it may be the freest Of all
the free countries. In other words,
liberty and poverty are incompatible.
We used fondly to figure the Ameri-
can who earned his bread in the sweat
of his brow, and voted with his party
as a sovereign, and we invited him to
regard himself in that light. Really
however, without the means Of a liveli
hood in his own hands, but in the
hands of another, he is scarcely the
regal shape we figured him. The work.
ingman out Of job can have little joy
out of his vote, and if he is very poor,
if he is not making both ends meet,
he cannot will goods to others, the
sovereign act of the freeman, because
he has none to will. 1t is true that he
may rebel, that he may renounce his
employment when he has one and does
not think himself justly paid, but with
out the means of livelihood he has
no choice except to seek some other
employment, and this choice is scarcely
| freedom. VIM. d. Howells.

THE bees alleged perfection of pol

theme of laudation for centuries" said
well-known California apiarist, "but
truth compels me to say that this in

industry she is universally supposed
to be, and many are her tumbles from
the lofty moral perch. ] use the fe-
male gender advisedly. The drone is
the male of the bee tribe. The favor

her moral attitude altogether and go
off on spree. / have seen bees so
drunk that they could not fly, and in
condition Of mental and physical
paralysis due to their copious imbib-

The Jewish Messenger tells a story
characteristic of two of the great men
for whom Germany has lately been
called upon to mourn. DR.. Martin Ed
ward Won Simson, who died on May 2,
in Berlin, in his eighty-ninth year, was.
like Disraeli, baptized in his childhood.
but he accounted himself a true son Of
Abraham, and the anti-Semitic press in
Germany could not conceal its chagrin
at the honors paid to an lsraelite who
was called the grandfather of the Ger
man nation. President of the first Ger
man parliament, the national assem-
bly, of 1S4S, he was called to preside
over the Reichst-g OF imperial Ger
many, and his life was tittingly round
court of justice of the German empire.
An encounter between DR.. Simson and
Bismarck illustrates the lsraelites
pride of race, as we'll as Bismarck's
naughty disdain. 1t was in 1850, when
DR.. Simson was president Of the Err
furt parliament. Bismarck had been
carrying on a loud conversation with
secretary of the Elfurt parliament,
when Dr.. SimsOn, as president, called
them both to order. Thereupon Bis
marck haughtily explained that he and
his colleague, being men of old nobil-
ity, knew how to conduct themselves
without being told. "What?" answer
ed DR.. Simson, with the dignity that
characterized him. EDO you say that
to me, descendant in the direct line
from the high priest Aaron?" Where
upon, SO it is reported, Bismarck
bowed and replied: Pardon me, Mr..
Speaker, but l had never looked upon
the matter from that point of view."
The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1899-12-08

From the Philadelphia Call: The
logic of wit is the most destructive
logic that is employed against error.
This was aptly illustrated at a public
reception given a few nights ago, at
which a learned lawyer who is slight
ly lame in his right foot, was present.
The advocate overheard lady say to
her companion: THAT is Mr.. C,
the lame lawyer" Turning around he
replied, mo, madam, | am lame man
but not lame lawyer" An amusing
incident occurred in one Of the com
mon pleas courts the other day. The
lawyer for the defense was making
very lengthy cross-eXamination of an
old lady, when he was interrupted by
the judge with the remark, 81 think
you have exhausted this Witness"
Eyes, Judge" she exclaimed, Il do feel
very much exhausted"
