The Butte & Boston has levied an
assessment of one mill which will be
delinquent March IA.
Twenty tons of Morning Glory ore
was shipped to the CRANKY smelter re-
Gently. The value per ton is estimat-
ed considerably higher than that of
the last shipment, which was little
more than $3.50 per ton.
The fears of a deadlock between the
mine operators of Republic and the
Republic mill over the custom treat
ment rates are dissipated by the an
nouncement of a provisional arrange
ment whereby a thorough test will be
made by the mill of ore from all the
various mines looking to an adjust
ment of charges, possibly on a new
basis.
The Republic Consolidated Mining
company has placed large order for
development machinery in Spokane.
The machinery consists of 10 drill
compressor, 60 horse power hoist and
80 horse power boiler plant and the
contract was secured by the Bradley
Engineering & Machinery company
The mine is at present using a COM
pressor with nominal capacity of
four drills, but an actual capacity of
nearly five. This, with the new COM
pressor, will give a capacity of Is
drills and will enable work on a much
larger scale. The hoist is a geared
friction plant with a capacity of 800
feet deepth and a speed of 500 feet per
minute. 1t will carry two ton load.
The order also includes all the Incl
dentals for the complete operation of
the machinery and equipment of the
mine for it's operation.

The foreign office has received a large

What ofIifa2

The mere passing of years is not
life. To eat, drink and sleep; to be
exposed to darkness and light; to pace
around the mill of habit and turn the
wheel of wealth; to make reason our
book keeper, and turn thought into
an implement of trade-this is not
life.
In all this, but poor fraction of the
consciousness of humanity is awaken
ed, and the sanctities still slumber
which make it worth most to exist.
knowledge, truth, love, beauty,
goodness, faith, alone give vitality to
the mechanism Of existence. The
laugh of mirth, which vibrates
through the ear; the tears which
freshen the dry wastes within; the
music which recalls Childhood; the
prayer that calls the future near; the
doubt that causes man TO mediate
the death that startles US with its
mystery; the hardships which force us
to struggle; the anxiety that ends il
heavenly truth-these are the true
nouriShment of our natural being.
When these fail or are absent the man
has began to die. 1t is not what men
profess but what they do that de term
ines the true status Of life.

odcial Paper of County.
The Wills, the Wonts and the
Giants

Every community has them. They
are not strangers anywhere. Their
different characteristics is the means
to their identity. The Wills have
built our railroads, dug our canals,
improved our rivers and harbors, built
our villages and cities, our school
houses and churches, built and im-
proved our public highways, estab-
lished our water works and fire pro-
lection; put in our electric lights and
built the happy and prosperous homes
of the land.
The Wonts having no public spirit
are the faultinders and devote all
their energies in opposing public en-
terprise and progress. They shudder
at the innovations in the manners and
customs and new enterprises of the
Wills.
The Giants is the class whose pane
less windows are stuffed with old
coats, whose fences are dilapidated
and down, who raise more weeds than
corn, cattle gather the corn while it
is growing, whose seed grain is filled
with seeds of noxiouS weeds and whose
harvest always leaves them in the
hole. The progress of Cresco and of
Howard county In public and private
enterprises demonstrates that the
Will element largely dependencies
everywhere. The merchant or trades
man who Wills to obtain the patron
age of the public is alert for the
means of informing the public about
the quantity, the quality and the
price of his goods, and through the
country invites inspection and investi-
cation and challenges competition.
The intelligent farmer and the pru-
dent house wife carefully and thought
fully note what the different trades
men and merchants offer and bestow
their patronage &C cordingly. The
"Mail order" stores Of the big cities
spare no expense in informing the
people through elabora tely Illustrated
and expensive catalogues all about
their goods and prices, and through
the publicity thus given gets the trade
that belongs to the local dealers: who
could compete and fill the order with
as good articles at lower prices than
the customer has obtained at the
mail order store.

Washington, Dec. 23.-While no Off
cial confirmation can be obtained at
the white house, it is believed that
President Roosevelt has offered the
treasury portfolio to Gov. Crane of
Massachusetts,, and the latter now has
the tender under Amusement. One of
the difficulties in the way of Gov.
Cranes acceptance is understood to be
his connection with the paper company
at Dalton, Mass, which furnishes the
paper for government notes. This pa
per is prepared by secret process, and
the governments contract with the
Dalton company is large one. Should
Gov. Crane accept the treasury port
folio it is considered probable that he
would dispose of his interest in the
paper company.
His Probable Successor.
Gov. w. Murray Crane, of Massa-
chusetts, it is declared, is to be the
