Calvinistic Revision.

The good old "blue light" followers
of Calvin with all the prohibitions and
mental restrictions, and blue Sunday
are breaking down before
the final onslaught of modern investi-
CATION and human judgement. The
hell-fire and birthstone doctrine has
ceased in nearly all pulpits where min
listers are broad enough and sane
enough to follow modern investigation
and preach doctrine Of love and not
of hate, hell and everlasting punish
ment.
The St. Paul Dispatch editorially re-
fers to the Revision. 1t states: "The
decision for q revision Of the Presby.
,erian confession of faith is triumph
for real religion. It may be defeat
for theology. that theology which as
pires to define what God is and what a
man should believe. but for religion
which seeks to bring God nearer to
man, it is certainly battle won
Formal religion may have lost, but
real religion has won. Even the West
minister confession of faith has not
been immntable since the date which it
still bears on its title page, 1649. It
has struck out the sections forbidding
man to marry his deceased wife's
sister and that one compelling magis-
trates to deal with heresy. The whole
present movement is directed to ''strik-
ing out dead yesterday" to borrow
from Omar. 1t is the things that will
be vital tomorrow that Calvinis1n is
asked to give up. Nothing vital has
ever been surrendered in any religion.
1t happens in this case. as it almost
always does in any religions cutting
off, that it is the negatives that are to
be discarded. The positive side of Cal
vinism comes nearer to real religion.
Its negations are what its people have
ceased to deny. That those foreor-
dained to everlasting death cannot es.
cape, that infants are not all saved,
that good work is not good if done by
evil workers, that oaths may not be
refused to lawful authority, and that
the pope is Antichrist and therefore
not Christian, are these negatives, Of
which the creed is to be shorn, or at
least modified in. Better than this ie
the required additional emphasis on
the love of God for all men. This
makes religion personal matter, to
be settled between God and individual
man, not between man and man
made creed. Liberty of dissent has 90
plainly been usnrped by Presbyterians
hitherto that this legalizing of liberty
will, beyond doubt. strengthen the
church in loyalty and obedience.

Richmond's grub house last week, we
stepped in in answer to a hail from

whose name is F. Stolp, had arranged
on the table "a tempting array of bread,
pies, buns, etc, to which he called

us in a moment why "Dave" looked
so sleek and happy-he was being

Large Mining Deal.

j. M. Thomas, jr, and w. j. Rus
sell, of Battle Lake, passed through
Saratoga Saturday on their way to
cheyenne on mining businaes. One
~ the objects of their trip is the for
fnation of the Russell Mining Com
pany," a corporation which will have
pr its business the handling of large
mining propositions in the Battle
Fake mining country. They have on
bands now several important deals in
copper property and one, especially,
Which, if it goes through, will prove
~ great benefit to the Battle Lake
Dining district and, indirectly to the
whole valley. 1t is one of the largest
mining deals ever contemplated in
Ibis country and when the facls are
Known they will create considerable
snrprise.
MIR. Russell and Mr.. Thomas will
b on east, the former to Chicago
Pnd the latter to New York City,

The Saratoga young lady is up
with the times. A number of them
met at the hospitable residence of
Mrs. A. W. Ainsworth last Saturday
and formed a thimble club. Miss
Carrie Human was elected president,
Miss Ora Ainsworth vice-president,
Miss Delilah Peters secretary, Miss
Edith Ravens treasurer and Miss
Matte Bundy postmistress.
The afternoon was very pleasantly
spent in games and Mrs. Ainsworth
served the young ladies' a delicious

This Remarkable Winter.

If the rest of the west is experience
ing the same kind of weather as that
dealt out to the Saratoga valley by
the weather man, then they are exper-
fencing a remarkable winter. Why,
the youngsters are even now indulg-
ing in that summer game, marbles.
We note that the enterprising small
boy, in the Riverside addition, has
utilized the drying ground of the
brick yard for his games. With the
energy born of youth he has swept
the ground of its snow and now revels
in the dust of summer inside of that
magic circle made with the stub of
an old broom. Here he wallows in
the dust to his hearts content, for
your small boy delights in dust, and
the deeper and finer the better his
enjoyment of it. "Knuckle down."
went dubs," ''evers," and "placences,"
rise out of the sqirming, writhing
mass of small humanity, like sounds
out off fog. Here he squabbles, and
scraps, and revels in slang, and when
he goes home at night, covered from
head to foot with CRIME, his inventive
mind has an excuse ready in answer
to his mothers protest for being out
SO late and getting so besmeared.

Mrs. CONFESS Goes East.

Mrs. CONFESS left Monday morning
for her sisters home in Hawarden, Ia.
Her brother-in-law, Andrew Ring, the
cashier of the Northwestern bank, at
Hawarden, came on here last Friday
and helped her to get her belongings
in shape for shipment. They secured
the services of Mrs. Ferris, the woman
freighter, and she took them to the
railroad on Monday. Mrs. CONFESS
has many warm friends in this part
of the country who will regret her
departure and who will always cher
ish pleasant recollections of their as
%sociations with that bright and large
minded woman.

THE CHARTER OAK DEAL.
Only a Two Thirds Interest Bonded
Not all Sold--Continuous Develop
,ment work The Condition
of The Lease

AS usual there are some tangles in
the reports concerning the deal re-
Gently made in the matter of the
Charter Oak Group of mines.
Only a two thirds interest, instead
of the whole of that property, has
been bonded. This bond has been
made to G. E. Knapp, representing
the Boston & Wyoming Smelter,
Power & Light Company, and is for
two years, conditioned on the contin-
uous working of the mine. The
smelter company desires this proper
ty on account of the iron in the ore.
The Charter Oak ore contains from
80 per cent. to Al per cent. Of iron,
and will not only hux itself but will
flux other pres as well.
1t is likely that the machinery now
on the ground will be used in the de-
velopment or the mine, with the ex-
ceptions of the pump, which will
have to be replaced by a much larger
one.
1t is said that the ore from this
mine can be mined, transported to
Encampment and treated with a profit,
if it yielded only 4 per cent. copper.
The average of this ore is about 10
per cent. copper, Sc in gold and two
ounces in silver.
The securing of the output of this
mine is considered by mining men to
have been a great stroke of business
and one that will prove of great ben
eft to the entire upper mining coun-
try.

FERRIS-HAGGARTY ELECTRIC
PLANT.
One of The Finest in The State--Of
The Same Type as is Used on u. S.
War Ships and Large Ocean
Steamers-Works Admirably.

Steamers--Works Admirably.
Hon. 1. G. Miller, president of the
Ferris Haggarty Mining Company,
came down from the mine Monday,
bringing with him j. v. Swanson,
representing the General Electric
Company of Denver. Mr.. Swanson
had been up to start the plant which
was furnished by his house, and was
on his way back to Denver when met
and interviewed by a representative
of The Sun. MI. Swanson said:
"The electric light and power plant,
now in operation at lie Ferris Hag-
garty mine, is n of the finest in the
state of Wyoming. 1t is of the same
type as that used ON all the United
States war vessels and on the great
ocean steam passenger ships. 1t com
binesU an engine and dynamo on the
same base and is as we'll calculated
to furnish power for electric drills as
for electric lighting. 1t is one of the
most complete as well as expensive
plants ever put into any mine. One
unique feature of this plant is its
switch board, made of blue Vermont
marble. 1t would pay any one to
make a trip to the mine to see this
plant, as nothing finer in its line is to
be found anywhere.
THE system of lighting at the
mine is an admirable one. All the
houses, the stables, the private and
company properties, the shaft house
and the mine, is now lighted by
means of this plant. Later on, when
the company puts in electric drills,
the plant will be as well suited to run
them as for any other purpose. In
fact this plant is adapted to furnish
power for anything for which electric
power may be needed.
Concerning the mine Mr.. Swanson
said:
at is certainly a fine mine. 1
think those people have a bonanza
there without a doubt. 1t is being
properly worked and made to bring
the greatest returns possible for the
amount of labor and capital expend-
ed. | think the proposition, when it
is fully developed, will prove to be
one of the largest high grade copper
properties in the west"

Sinelter Machinery.

A large amount of smelter machin-
cry has gone up to Encampment dur
1ng the past two months. Two very
Iarge loads of piping, from four to
lise feet in diameter, went through
here yesterday morning, bound for
Pc same place. Much speculation
Nns INDUCED in as to what possible
nse it could be put, as is was not of
the right shape to be used as a smoke

MAMMOTH COPPER MINING co.
Perfects an Organization by The Elec
ton of a Board Of Trustees And The
Selection of Officers For The
Ensuing Year.

II
A. G. and A. G. Epperson returned
|from Rawlins last week, where they
bad been attending the meeting of
tthe stockholders of the Mammoth
Copper Mining Company. The fol-
:lowing trustees were chosen for the
First year: F. E. Rumph, r. z. Nc
Coy, A. G. Epperson, Robert Freed
man and A. G. Epperson.
p The following officers were elected
from among the trustees: President
A. G. Epperson, vice-president Frank
.. Rumph, secretary and treasurer
Robert Freedman. The president is
b resident of Saratoga; the vice-presi-
and secretary and treasurer both re-
side in Rawlins.
100000 shares of the capital stock,
which is placed at a million shares of
Isl each, has been set aside as treas
Jury stock and 100000 shares will be
sold at 10 cents, after which the price
will be raised.
The companys property, consisting
of a group of five claims, lies on the
east slope of the Continental Divide,
two miles from the top. The group
are also about two miles north of the
Ferris Haggarty mine, on the ex-
IRENE head waters of Jack creek.
The claims were located in July, 1898
and the annual assessment only, of
$500, has been done on the group, on
one claim, SO that the work of devel-
Iopment is fairly well along. The
GROUP joins the Leighton Gentry
property on the east.
A. G.. Epperson was, at the meeting
BIN Rawlins, chosen superintendent of
the mine and it is his intention to
employ a force of men and go to
work on the mine at once. The prop
erty now has built on it a substantial
Hog house l4x52 feet, containing three
rooms. There is a shaft house and a
blacksmith shop with tools and min
ing implements.
There is abundance of timber sur
pounding the mine and it possesses a
<fne tunnel site. By running a tun-
nel into the mountain 900 feet the
vein could be tapped at a depth of
300 feet. AT present the vein is
reached by means of a tunnel 63 feet
in length and at that point they be-
+gan sinking on the vein. 1t has de-
veloped into a low grade copper prop
psition which will assay about 4 per
gent. copper clear across the vein
(which is II feet in width. Picked
Specimens have ran as high as 8 per
cent. in copper. A few feet further
IS likely to develop a large body of
pre- that will run from ~ per cent. to
Is per cent. copper. Mining men
who have examined it think well of
and say that it is the best propo-
sition, outside of the Rambler and
erris- Haggarty, of any prospect in
the entire copper religion of the Con
%tinental Divide.
This property is only "a miles from
Saratoga, which point will be its base
of supplies. Any one interested in
This property and desiring further in
formation, a obtain it from the
president, A. c. Epperson, of this
place, or of the vice-president, or sec.
retary and treasurer, who live in
Rawlins.

D. Glen Beaver, the politician who
managed the middle-of-the-road cam.
paign in Nebraska last fall, has re.
ceived his reward for helping the re.
publicans. President Mckinley has
given him an Office. A Nebraska re.
publican having criticised the ap.
pointment on the ground that Deaver
is not republican, Deaver replies
that he was endorsed by every repub-
lican state officer in Nebraska as well
as by the two senators-elect and the
national committeeman. They knew
that beavers middle-of-the-road work
was largely instrumental in making
Nebraska republican, and were will.
ing to pay for the work done. In all
probability the trade was arranged
before Deaver did any work.

District Assembly No. &c, Knights
of Labor has authorized its executive
committee to begin quo warranto pro-
ceedings against Attorney-General
Knox to show cause why he has not
enforced the Sherman antitrust law.
The blow is aimed against the steel
trust, which is alleged to be operat-
ing in violation of the said law. The
effect will probably be nothing.
Knox is former employe of Carnegie,
and even in the remote possibility OF
the courts ordering him to proceed
against the trust it is safe to assert
that he would not strain himself seri-
ously to win the case. The antitrust
laws will be dead letter till we get q
president that does not owe the trusts
any thanks for his election. Then we
will get an Encouragement who has
not won his spurs as q trust lawyer.

The anti-administration organs are
indeed hard-up for material, if they
use the action of the governor in the
Younger parole matter as a club
against him. It will prove boomer
ang rather than q club.-Willmar
Republican-Gazette.
The more the anti-administration
organs talk, the more irrational they
become. And when they come to get
in line next year, as they must and
wi do, it is ammunition they are
making now to be used then. And it
will be strange If the implement of
warfare does not turn out to be loaded
more at the breech than the muzzle.-
St. Panl Review.
Will the esteemed contemporaries
that perpetrated the above kindly con-
descend to name the anti-administra-
ton organs that have shown any dis
position to criticise the parole, or use
it as q club against the governor? As
tar as we have seen they have been al
most unit in endorsing this act of
clemency. It may be this impartial
action that causes Editor Berryhill
to accuse them OF being irrational.
