aockino THE BOYS TO SLEEP.

I 1T me down In the twilight cool
OF busy summers dag,
And close my eyes. and I've again
The time 90 far away,
When Eddie and James and John were
here.
And the tears to my eyes VIII creep.
For ! seem to sit In the old brown chair,
A-rockin' the boys to sleep.
I bring John back from home OF wealth.
Where fame and honor dwell.
And sing aud rock him " sleep once
more,
More happy than tongue can tell.
] brave the storms on a shoreless sea
Where tempest and surges sweep,
And James Is here and | rock again
My wandering boy" TO sleep.
! build q stair to the heavens tail. q.
And reach in its sweet domain
For little Eddie and bring him back
To my lonely home again:
My throbbing heart In heavy now
With yearning strong and deep,
As | smooth the curs of my only babe
And rock him once more to sleep.
They say the old chair Is useless now.

And must BE forever put aside,
Like q well learned, worn out page.
But the old brown chair sings = song to

As II whispers OF other years.
Aud II tells OF the roughened places
Emoothed.
And murmurs Of childish tears.
Yes, the old chair tells In an undertone,
In voice 80 creaking and old.

To obviate this calamity It occurred
To kind hearted man TO protect the
cows eyes In the same way as those
OF human beings. aud he manufacture
ed smoke-colored spectacles which
could be- safely worn by cattle. These
spectacles were II great success, and
are now worn by upward OF 10000
head OF cattle. which no longer suffer
from the snow blindness which once
caused such suffering among them.

It is still matter OF speculation as to

ali possible speed. The ledge is about
six feet wide on an average.
c. r. Porter, superintendent of the
Golden Lion and Little Four Consoli-
dated, stated that his company would
use diamond drills In future on that
mine.
The custom mill building is nearly
completed. A large part OF the machi-
merry is on the ground and the manage
ment Is now confident that the remain
der will get In before the roads
break up.
The excavating for the big Republic
mill is making good progress. A large
part of the rock for the foundation has
been quarried and some OF 1t is on the
ground. A considerable portion of the
lumber for the building is also on the
ground.
The Mountain Lion mill will be in
working order about the middle OF this
week. The machinery will be in mo-
ton at an earlier day, but not to run
at the full capacity. That which. has
been started is working smoothly and
to the satisfaction of the management.
So far no prospecting has been done
with diamond drills in Republic camp,
or in Ferry county; but II they prove
successful on the Goloen Lion and Lit
tie Four the probabilities are strong
that the plan may be used to demon
strate the value Of many other mines
in the camp, and will materially aid in
demonstrating the proper point to sink
permanent shafts.

10 . more diversified farming. They
have now FROM ITO to l75 cotton fac
tories. and will probably spin the entire
product of the State this year, about
10000 bales. They employ white la.

being built mostly by capital subscribed
by negroes. which Is to employ negro
manager and be run by negro labor.
Mr.. Culver. Of Alabama. said many OF
