the Providence Journal would hesitate TO
stoop TO so dirty a trick, the very dim
siness of which defeats the object sought
for by the concoeter OF the libel upon
the honorable city government of Provi-

Caught Four Grey Wolves.

The young boys of j. A. Phillips at
the Phillips coal mine down the river
have been quite fortunate in catching
big grey wolves lately. A horse died
down there recently and the wolves
came to feed on the carcass. The
boys took advantage Of this to set
traps by it and caught one each night
in succession until they had rounded
up four big fellows. A family of grey
wolves have made their home in the
rocks along the banks of the river
near the ranch of VIM. Johnston, fol
some time and it is quite probable
this is the extent of their number.

THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.
Is Nearly Completed-Will be Ready
After The Holidays-Ladies to
Buy An Organ-Beautify The
Grounds by Planting Trees
And Shrubbery.

The plastering on the new school
house is done, or will be within the
the next twenty-four hours. 1t is an
excellent job and, owing to the very
mild weather, has not frozen any, a
fact which insures its remaining on
the walls. The stairway is still to be
made and the doors and windows to
be hung, when the building will be
ready for occupancy. 1t is an assur-
ed fact that the building will be
ready for the children when school
opens after the holiday vacation.
We understand that some of the
enterprising ladies of the town are
going to give entertainments for the
purpose of raising money to buy an
organ for the school house. This
shows commendable enterprise and it
should receive the aid and assistance
of every one. When spring opens up
we hope to see steps taken by the
children, themselves, toward the plant
ing of trees in the grounds surround
the building. If this work is taken
in hand by the children they will be
much more likely to take an interest
in their preservation and cultivation.
There is a good well on the grounds
which will furnish an abundance of
water with which to irrigate the trees,
grass and shrubbery and insure their
growth. There is half a block in the
grounds, the generous donation of
A. McKinnie, and if the proper amount
of energy and are is bestowed upon
it the place can Dol be made beauti-
full and attractive.

THE BATTLE LAKE RAMBLER.
A Very Rich Property-Its Prospective
Owners Pushing Work ard Ship
ping Ore-Bright Prospects
for the Future.

Postmaster j. NJ. Thomas, jr, Of
Battle Lake passed through Saratoga
yesterday on his way to Chicago
where he will close up a mining deal
with some mining capitalists for some
/ copper properties on Cow creek, down
\ this side of Battle Lake a short
distance. When a Sun representa-
tive approached Mr.. Thomas he found
that gentleman willing to talk of the
mines in his vicinity. He said:
1--WE have very little snow in Battle
Lake now-scarcely two feet-and all
kinds of business is moving right
along. All the mines are at work and
will continue right on through the
winter.
"The Doane mine2 Oh, that is
proving a wonderful property. You
know that the richest copper rock on
earth was taken from that mine, and
TO it we owe all the discoveries made
in the Battle Lake country. II is
certainly a wonder for rich mineral.
The men who are working it find
it much better than they had
any idea of. They are finding large
bodies of high grade copper-ore that
will run 20 per cent. copper-every
where they go. They are going into
all the abandoned and supposed to
be worked out drifts, and tunnels,a and
holes, and everywhere they are find
ing large bodies of this high grade
mineral. If there ever was a bonanza
the Rambler is surely one.
THE change in ownership in that
mine means much to IL country. 1t
will now be worked the year round
and by experienced men, with lots of
money behind them, The very latest
and best machinery will be employed
and no expense spared in finding out
the immense possibilities of the prop
erty. You know what that means
the employment of skilled miners and
4 lots of them, and that will create a
demand for more supplies and give
employment to more people in the
country, all of which a an in
creased amount of business fo- every
body from the railroad clear up to
the mine.
When the mine gets under full
headway-they ARE only looking it
over now and trying to see what they
have-they will ship large quantities
of ore and you will see a string of
teams from this part of the country
that will equal that of the Ferris
Haggarty.
''The sale of that mine brings a rail
road Just that much nearer to this
valley. After these men demonstrate
what that mine can do, there is
y but very little question what the U.
7. will do in the way of a railroad up
this valley. Mark what | tell you
we are going to have a railroad up
this valley before another Christmas"
