brains. An illustration of the value of
executive ability and controlling brains
is to be found in the condition of affairs
at the great Rogers locomotive works
at Paterson, n. j., the second largest in
the United States. The head of this
concern, Mr.. Rogers, being now an old
man and having accumulated fortune,
has been for some years DESTROYS of re-
firing from active life. With this in
view, he has for some time past been
endeavoring to find some one capable
of running the plant and taking his
place in the management of affairs.
Not being able to find suitable man.
ager, he has endeavored to sell out the
entire plant at price much less than
its valuation, but while capitalists
were willing enough to invest and even
to pay his price, they would do so only
on condition that he retained active
management of affairs. This Mr.. Rog-
ers Is unwilling to do, and as a last re-
sort he has decided to permanently
close down the entire works, thus
throwing 5000 hands out of employ
ment for want of a business head to
keep it going and to successfully man
age its affairs.

Greyhound and All There workings at
Greenwood. AS it is the two properties
are practically under one management,
and it would not surprise the knowing
ones to learn that the Western Copper
Company, Ltd, had absorbed the Nc
Rae Copper company. Some of the best
copper ore yet found in Deadwood
camp has been taken from these two
claims.
The recent advance in the stock of
the Morrison Mines, Ltd, is accounted
for by the splendid showing at the
mine. Superintendent Gus Peterson
has force of Is men under him. The
long tunnel is in 900 feet and has cross
cut diagonally three distinct lodes.
Nothing authoritative can be learned
regarding values, but there is a dump
of ore that from appearances and size
would prove profitable under treat
ment.
Two additional shippers entered on
the SLOGAN division last week. They
are the Enterprise and Black Prince.
The former sent out 20 tons to the
Trail smelter and has 40 tons more
ready at the lake shore; 20 tons were
shipped by the Black Prince, being the
first sent out under the lease on that
property. The Arlington sent 90 tons
to Nelson, so that the total shipments
from the division amounted to 100
tons. The outlook in the camp is
bright and great feeling of confidence
is apparent. The returns from the two
carloards of ore shipped by the Two
Friends to Nelson amounted to about
$3.50, which was considerably lower
than was expected.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The outlook for a great increase in
activity in the Lardo district in British
Columbia is very bright, according to
M. Grant.
The ledge has been cut in the new
workings on the Phoenix group, at the

writer in Scribner's who has Travelled
widely in their country, notes that the
shopkeepers announce their wares by
pictures rather than by names. The
attention of customers is sought by
paintings of the articles on sale; as of
coats and trousers in the clothing
stores; bread, butter, cheese and sau-
sages in the line of provisions; knives,
forks and carpenters tools at the hard
ware dealers, and so on. Even in the
barracks, the sentry is taught the prop
er military motions by series of pic

SURE TO FOLLOW
If the Blood is Impoverished
Diseases Which Often
Puzzle Doctors are
Inevitable.
From The Tribune, Webster City. Ia.

Physicians are often puzzled by an
ailment that does not yield to the usual
remedies, patients are caused much
suffering and expense while expert
ments are being tried upon them. when
in many cases the seat of the disorder
is in the blood. If this vital fluid Is
impoverished disease is sure to follow.
Build up the blood, the diseased part
is nourished and stl heightened, and
health results. This is the simple his
tory of what often appears to be COM
plioated case. Mr.. Ezra Edwards, the
well-known merchant of Webster City,
Iowa, passed through sucn an exper-
fence. He says:
81 have always believed that my
trouble was due to the impoverished
condition of my blood. About tour
years ago my ankles began to swell and
cause me great pain. / am quite heavy
and as | was on my feet constantly |
suffered intensely. Finally the SWELL
ing became 30 bad that l could not
walk and for week l was confined to
my chair or bed. Three doctors treated
me but did not effect cure.
81 first heard of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People through an adj
vertisement in religious paper.
About six months ago 1 began taking
the pills and l felt good results from
the first box. / continued taking
them as directed for nearly five
months. am now AZ years old and
am the picture of health. l am will
ing to tell the world that DIR. Williams
Pink Pills cured me and l know they
will cure others if they are given a
thorough trial.
Hardly day passes that do not

ceived from DIR. Williams Pink Pills

one suffering from any disorder of the
blood or nerves should give them a
thorough trial. Signed,

A Young Hero.

A 12-year-old boy lay dying in a New
York hospital as a result of a railroad
accident. He and some friends had
stolen a ride, and one of the others had
pushed him off, with the result that he
fell under the wheels. His father asked
him who it was that had pushed him.
"Oh, what's the use of telling?" said
the little fellow. 1T was all done in
fun. The boy who did it feels bad
enough. Why should l make any more
trouble for hlmT Half an hour later
the lad was dead.

Experiments which the Weather Blu
reau has recently concluded will soon
bear fruit in new system of signaling
far out at sea intelligence of impending
storms. The signals will be powerful
lamps placed upon lofty steel towers.
The lights will be visible for twelve
miles In any direction, and the line of
one hundred and eight of them, which
1t is purposed to erect along the Allan
tic coast, will give a continuous series
of warnings visible for nearly two
thousand five hundred miles.

1t is great mistake for the people of
Europe to feel that they have an enemy
in this great peaceful republic. We
want not war, but peace, and peace
with all the world. We have no grudges
to pay off. no defeats to avenge, no lost
territory to recover and no acquired
territory to defend against imminent
attack. We have the friendliest feel
ings for all peoples and the peace of the
world will not be broken by us except
for grave and weighty cause.

1t is reported that the silver Dollar
is to pass into new hands in a short
time.
The Admiral Dewey on the south
fork of Granite creek, is reported to be
showing some good ore.
A good deal of interest in Republic
camp is conferred in the probability of
a railroad being introduced.
Workmen have left Republic to begin
work in placing the timbers for the re-
ception of the hoist on the California
mine.
The Ajax mine, situated on the west
side of the San Poll river and two miles
north of the Golden Harvest, is report
ed to be developing satisfactorily.
No more work will be done on the
Hercules until next spring, as the in
flow of water is too great to go on with
sinking unless machinery is installed
The Morning Glory raise is showing
some wonderfully rich ore. Work is
progressing quite rapidly The raise
is being made from the second or 100
foot level.
At the Princess Maud mine on the
800 foot level the north drift is in 81
and the south drift % feet, with the
quartz of the vein averaging about four
feet in width.
Superintendent George Miller of the
Ben Hur has begun bailing the water
out of the big shaft. He estimates that
it will take at least ten days to clear
tha shaft Tho natura of tba xxrorly 70
be done after the mine is drained is
unknown.
The Flag Hill ledge maintains it's
width of four feet and there is little
change in the value of the ore. 1t is
a little richer and a good deal more sol
id than it was for the first so feet. The
north drift is in 100 feet.
On the Gold Ledge good progress is
being made on the new tunnel, it be-
ing in % feet. The so foot ore that
forms the tunnel face was done by day
labor, but the work of driving is being

There is deal on for the transfer of
the Umatilla claim at a good figure.
New York parties are seeking the prop
erty. The Umatilla and Silver Dollar
lie near the Mountain Lion and Knob
Hill, and are believed to carry the same
Lodges that pass through those proper
ties and the Ben Hur.
At the Republic cyanide mill one of
the Griffin mills has been installed, and
the bases of two others have been set,
but neither of the ball pulverizers has
yet been removed. Up to this writing
so of the cyanide tanks have been
cleaned up and show an average ex-
traction of over 81 per cent.
The Chico is still driving north
along the footwall of the ledge in the
country rock, as it is much softer than
the quartz, and therefore much better
progress can be made. The average is
about three feet per day. At the point
where the drift left the ledge the
quartz was eight feet wide and of high
grade.
The superintendent of the Butte G.
Boston states that the mine is looking
better than it has done any time here
tofore, but he declines to state just how
much ore he has in the face of the cut
or its value. There is no'question that
there is body of rich ore in the Butte
G. Boston, but it may take some time to
determine its extent.
