ORE SHIPMENTS.

Great Northern Com pany Has Con-
tracts for 100000 Tons.
West Superior, Wis, Jan. 19.-The
Great Northern Railway company has
already made contracts with vessels to
carry from its two ore docks in this city
some 100000 tons of iron ore during
the coming season. Besides the boats al
ready chartered it is understood that the
company contemplates securing several
others. The shipments from the Great
Northern's docks will probably be limited
only by the capacity of the mines to chip
the ore and OF the road to haul it to the
docks The new dock, which it is claimed
will be the largest or the lakes, is being
rushed tight along, and it is TO be ready
for operations as soon as shipments can
commence. The old dock alone shipped
nearly 100000 tons last season.

Bergen, the Boston catcher figured last
Friday, resulting in the death Of himself,

found sensation throughout the baseball
world. Bergen started his baseball ca
reer as a member of the Kansas City
team under Jimmy Manning. although
he had played with minor clubs in New
England previous to that time. He was
sold to the Boston club in the spring of
1896. He was always noted as a man
of moods and the players had many
wrangles with him. Bergen always had
an idea that the other members of the
team were cOnspiring against him and at
times he would disappear and not show
up for days and weeks. The players of
the Boston team charged last fall that

A GOOD CONSCIENCE.

Speaking of an article in the Salt
Lake Tribune, in relation to the
Clark matter, the Butte Miner, last
week used these words: "Now, the
head of the Salt Lake Tribune is a
man who is not in the habit of being
inspired by anything except what
strikes his conscience as being alb
solutely right" We trust the Min
er will remember these words. The
head of the Salt Lake Tribune.
though an ardent bimetallist, gives
it as the opinion of his conscience
that no help to silver may be ex-
pected through the Democratic par
ty; that said party only seeks to pull
the wool over the eyes of the voters
of the silver producing states by
preaching free silver in these states
for the purpose of getting votes
and the offices. And the Miner
vouches for Mr.. Goodwin's con
science. 1t may be good to let ii
go at that.-Ravalli Republican.

THE CENSUS LAW.

Ex-Gov. Richards, supervisor of
the census for the district of Mon
tana, has favored this office with the
full text of the law for taking the
twelfth census. 1t is a wise meas
ure, and will afford the knowledge
of general facts regarding our pop
ulation not later than September
1900. The census is to be taken
June l-1o and returns made to the
supervisors of districts not later than
July /. These first returns will re-
late onl ly to population, vital and
social statistics, etc. Subsequently
the figures will be gathered bearing
upon manufacturing, commerce, ag-
rculture and mining. The whole
business relating to this census, pub
fishing and all, is to be completed
in 1903.
t any enumerator is delinquent
with his business or reports he is
subject to fine and Imprisonment
If any person refuses to furnish the
information asked by this census he
is also subject to both fine and i'm
prisonment, the fine not to exceed
800.

The Philosophy of Dead Gnmeness

Now" said the man who had
yearned for riches, Il will go forth to
day and risk once more. Success has
attended all my ventures have 50
100000 If all goes we'll today, | will
be ten times a millionaire. Then |
will retire. Then | will risk no more.
Then | will be content, and some one
else, may step into the place that |
leave vacant"
SO he risked again and won the $10,-
900 that he thought he needed in his
business. But the man who lost the
money was not dead game. If he had
been dead game he would have said
nothing and hoped for better luck next
time. Therefore, lacking the qualities
that make for gamcness, he jumped
upon the man who had won and
thumped him so hard that he died on
the way to the hospital
There is in the heart of every man
who succeeds here below a soft spot
