WHY P0STMAsTERS ARE
OFTEN GLAD TO RESIGN

1t seems odd that government office
holders will resign places paying $1,000
and over, but they do, and there is al
ways lively scramble for these places.
The men with their representatives,
recommendations usually get them. The
fact that Al presidential postmasters
resigned last year adds proof to the ex-
ception to che adage quoted. There
We're Is deaths in the army of 1888 of
the presidents appointees.
The reason for giving up these we'll
paying berths are also diverse. Bust
ness men who have been appointed
postmasters find that the duties and
responsibilities of a postoffice required
too much Of their time, and as the de-
partment demands that a postmaster
shall devote his attention to the duties
of his office, the good cd plan of past
days of allowing an assistant to run
things while the postmaster remained
in his business house, drew the pay and
enjoyed the honor no longer works.
Postmasters who try to thus carry water
on both shoulders are promptly called
down, admonished to attend to the af-
fairs of the office. and if they do not,
they are removed. Many resign to avoid
removal.-Wa Star

tons month. The rock is yielding about
% pounds of ingot a ton of material
stamped which is under the average of
the Wolverine and Quincy but above the

renders rock of such quality extremely
profitable, and there is little question
that the Trimountain will average better
than the Baltic, while it is highly proba-
BILE that the Champion, still south of the
Trimountain, will do better.
The consolidated property would have
a longer stretch Of paying lode than is
now owned by any Lake Superior mine.
and owing to the sharp pitch of the lode,
which descends into the earth at an angle
of So to % degrees, and also taking into
consideration the great width of the lode,
it is probable that the properties named
carry at least twice as much copper per
acre as the Calumet and Hecla. This is
not to be construed as meaning that
these properties are twice as good as
the Calumet and Hecla, but is state
ment of fact regarding their remarkable
copper resources.

ANCIENT HISTORY OF BUTTE
An Interesting Tale of the Early Days
in the Great Mining
Camp.

Delving into the history of the past
has fascination for the majority of the
people and there is no city whose past
is more interesting that Rutte's, the
Copper Queen of the world. The mines,
past, present and future, have been made
familiar by constant REPETITION and so
have the thrilling "gun plays" and dar-
ing feats of the pioneers of early days
who are now staid men of families and
are high up in the social scale.
The every day life of Butte in those
days is seldom spoken of; only when
some pioneer will give free rein to speech
and talk. not for publication, but for the
enlightenment of the tenderfoot. They
are so little removed from the days of
luxury and ease, those days of the 16-
foot square log cabin, by the lapse of
years, that it seems almost impossible
that Butte should have grown to the city
it is today in such a brief span of time.
Mrs. Elizabeth Frakes still lives in the
comfortable little frame house at No. Is
South Idaho, which was built for her
some twenty-seven years ago, and which
is now overshadowed by the High school
building. When it was built it was con-
sidered pretty pretentious affair. 1t
is two story, plastered and convenient
having in all the essentials kept pace
with the march of civilization.
The beautiful flower gardens are, how
ever, but memory Of the past although
there is a brave showing of long, green
grass and some rose bushes and other
hardy plants. Mrs. Fakes is an active
member of Lincoln Relief corps and the
Associated Charities and several Sec
ret orders.

COPPER MINING PLANS.
Consolidation of Three Lake Properties

cadian, Isle Royale and Trimountain
mines. among Lake Superior properties,
in addition to controlling the Amalga-
mated Copper company, which is heavily
interested in the leading Montana cop
per mines. Such consolidation proba-
bly, would make one of the greatest mines
of tn world within the net few years.
All three mines are opened on the Bal
tic amygdaloid. which improves in rich
ness toward the south, so far as opened.
The lode is Of phenomenal width. The
Baltic was the first mine opened on the
amygdaloid, whence the name of the
lode. The Baltic was opened in 1897 and
became a producer to a limited extent in
1899. 1t has been making an average of

TROUT FISHING, RANGELEY LAKES.
thousands Of Americans who are now
seeking the shady brook or swift run
ming river, hoping to extract therefrom
one Of its toothsome denizens.
Not alone are the trout Of the brooks
and rivers demanding attention these
delightful spring days. Deep sea fish

desk and bench weary men. From the
lakes Of Maine where the best of trout
fishing Is to be found to the California
bays. where the tuna abounds, and
from the salmon filled Columbia to the
sandy beaches of Florida. where the
game red snapper challenges capture,
the whir Of the cast line and the click
OF the running reel are now heard.
OF course there is nothing new in
fishing this year, nor is there in any
year. The woods are just as green as
ever. the shady hooks as inviting and
the fish as willing to bite as they have
always been. To those whose chief de-
light is casting line into the green
sea water the beaches present just as
inviting an appearance. There is, as
usual, number of new inventions Of
fered by the dealers in sporting goods
guaranteed to make the fish bite and to
insure their reaching the landing net
after they are hooked. But the wise
sportsman only smiles and says that he
guesses he'll stick to the same old flies.

supple rod that have served him In
other seasons dear to memory.
There are two things. however. that
are doing a great if silent work for the
devotees of the rod and reel. and every
year the result is becoming more APP
parent. One Of them is the government
fish commission. and the other is the
extension of the game laws. Through
out the country the government fish
hatcheries have been at work, and the
result is seen in the restocking with
game fish of many streams that had
been depleted by the too jealous an
glers. The game laws also by decree
ing close seasons are preventing I'M
wise fishermen from catching. fish at
times when their capture is good for
neither the FISH, nor the fishermen.
