us some specimens of copper ore,
taken from the prospect of Nathan
Galloway, on the land of j. ID. Gideon
In Case township. Several who are
Judges of ore pronounce the spcci-
mems as good. Several holes have
been made In tho ground and the
mineral has been found in each Of
them a. q depth Of I6 feet. No large
bodies or leads have yet been discov-
cred, but there is overy reason to
believe that when the proper depth

II may DO made TO cooperate with
the great railway systems as perfectly
ss the United States mail system
does and thereby be- ono OF the great
est means of distributing the wealth
among the producers ever set OF
foot.
The great reason why the producer
of farm products docs not get his just
portion of tho wealth no creates Is
that no has no business methods Of
properly distributing his products.
The Southern California Fruit Ex.
change has u system Of distributing
their fruits through It's own agents.
The Exchange is an institution Of tho
growers and were 1t not for Its do.
velopmcnt Of plan Of reaching con.
sumers directly to q much greater
extent than ever before, the South
crn California growers would not DO
able to dispose Of this immense crop
of oranges.
This is an ago OF business methods
aud unless wo keep paco with the
progress of the age wo will surely
fall by the way. The agricuiturist
suffers most because there seems to
be something In the nature Of his
work which develops pcrvcrscncss.
lIe has consequently never been able
to cooperate iu = great way. Tho
development of II plan Of distribu-
ton working hand In glove with tho
railways, which demonstrates Its abil-
ity to get him the most for his pro-.
duets, will draw him iuto using II
and thus build up his own institu-
tious of making sales as In the case
Of the Southern California Fruit Ex-
change and In this way there will
gradually develop q system Of dis
tribu,ion Of all farm products.
This will not be as difficult thing
to be handled as might seem at first
because the best interest Of tho great
railway systems will bo served by
means Of such system--a system
: that will best promote the distribu-
ton of the wealth Of tho country
among its producers.
There Is much significance In some
= enterprises now IN their infancy
They may IN few years show thcm-
selves to have been better built than
their builders knew.--Springleld Re-

runs 80 per cent metallic zinc, II is

Nerve Tonic."

One of the most helpful books on nerve weakness ever issued is that entitled "Nerve Waste," by Dr. Sawyer of San Francisco, now in its fifth thou sand. This work of an experienced and reputable physician is in agreeable contrast to the vast sum of false teach ing which prevails on this important subject. It abounds in carefully con- sidered and practical advice, and has the two great merits of wisdom and sincerity.
 It is endorsed by both the religious and secular press. The Chicago Ad- vance says: "A perusal of the book and the application of its principles will put health, hope and heart into thou sands of lives that are now suffering through nervous impairment"
 The book is $1.0O, by mail, postpaid.
 One of the most interesting chapters Chapter xxx, on Nervines and Nerve Tonics-has been printed separately as a sample chapter, and will be sent to any address for stamp by the publish CTS, The Pacific Pub. Co.,, Box 265s San Francisco.

George Schaub, well-knOwn Ger man citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a constant reader of the Dayton Volks. zeitung. He knows that this paper aims to advertise only the best in its columns, and when he saw Chamber lain's Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back he did not hesitate in buy ing bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered with the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: "After using the Pain Balm for few days my wife said to me, I feel as though born anew,' and before using the entire contents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entirely vanished and she could again take up her household duties." He is very thankful and hopes that all suffering likewise will hear of her wonderful recovery. This valuable liniment is for sale by the Pio- neer Drug Store. f

Terrible Accident In the Postoffioe.

Terrible Accident In the Postoffioe.
 Early Monday morning terrible ac- cident happened to one of OUT promi- nent citizens while visiting the post master.
 The two gentlemen were engaged in interesting and earnest conversation, both being oblivious to all surround ings. One was the worthy postmaster, the other was the editor of the Gem.
 While these two worthy function aries were thus solemnly engaged, upon the cigar case that adorns the postoffice, and in fact is part thereof, sat little, tiny, innocent-looking machine called by cigar smokers a "cigar cutter"
 The editor of the Gem, not being ad- dicted to the use of the weed, had evil dently never seen such machine, and was absent-miudedly running his finger down in the hole where those who know the workings of this little inno- cent machine run their cigars to clip off the end. Suddenly ''click" was heard, the editor had surprised look on his countenance; he tipped his finger, he placed the member in his mouth, then he looked again at the bleeding member, and though gentleman standing by asked if it hurt, never vouchsafed reply. Finally, turning white, he rushed out the door and up to Dr. Robinson's office. Not finding that eminent surgeon in on account of the early hour, he came down stairs two steps at time, turned south on a double-quick, probably hunting Drs. Miller or Brannen either to finish cut ting off the injured finger or to patch it up.
 It is said by wise ones that the editor of the Gem is now good authority on the power of cigar-cutter.

ALTITVDES AND LOCATIONS
About Flagstaff Heights of Various Points of tho San Francisco
 Peaks.

and the Lowell observatory in order to find if thefhaps are correct. The po- sition determined for the depot in town is:
 Latitude B deg. 12 min. IT sec. N.
 Longitude, 7h. 26m. As. w. of Green
 wich.
 The position of the observatory is: Latitude, 8 deg. F min. 30 sec. N. Longitude, 7h. 26m. 45s. w. of Green
 wich.
 The position thus found for Flagstaff is very nearly the same in latitude as that on the last General Land Office map Q897), but in longitude it is farther west by fully mile. Compared with the old geological survey maps the new position is mile and a half farther north and about mile farther west.
 The heights of various points of the San Francisco Peaks were given in the CoCoNINo SUN for October l3, l9CO, but some of those figures require cor IcCuiOh, ocCduoc udNc IcCCiNCu HIT portant new data. By the kindness of MT. R. B. Burns, chief engineer of the Santa Fe Pacific road, the old railroad surveys have been exam ined and the best value for the elevation of Flagstaff determined. MT. Burns writes that the ele- vation above the sea of the top of the rails in front of our depot is 6,S90 feet, within probably 3 feet. Besides that, have made several new surveys for elevation or distance. The full results now obtained are as follows:
 The standard height at the depot floor is 6,S9O feet above sea level. The floor of the observatory is 354 feet above the depot platform, and therefore 7,244 feet above the sea. The distance of the observatory from the depot is al- most exactly one mile. From the Elm erson high school it is a trihe over $500 feet, or one kilOmeter and One- tenth of French measure.
 Agassiz peak, up which Doyle's trail goes. is l2,3 354 feet above sea level, or 5,464 feet above the depot. Its dis tance in an air line from the depot is closely 4S,OOO feet. From the Methodist church the distance is exactly 9 miles. The lower east eastern peak, Fremont, is II, ,953 feet in elevation. It is therefore 40l feet lower than Agassiz. Its distance from Agassiz is very closely 5, l9O feet, or a trifle less than a mile. Its distance from the Methodist church is Ss miles.
 Humphreys peak, the highest point, but which appears to us as a lower peak over beyond the others, is 12,63O feet in elevation. This is 276 feet higher than Agassiz. Its distance from Agassiz is 7,40O feet, or ls miles; and its distance from the Methodist church is 10t miles.
 The altitude of the old camping place in the saddle between the peaks is Il, ,45O feet; it is therefore 800 feet below Fremont, 900 feet below Agassiz, and nearly l,200 feet below Humph rey's.
 In a trip to these peaks on the 9th and 10th of this month immense snow drifts were discovered, filling the saddle or notch in the center of the mountain and covering all the northern slopes. The weather up there was decidedly arctic. The trip on foot from the saddle to Fremont, with frequent rests, took a little over one hour, and the return thirty minutes. From Fremont we watched the sunset and the deep, blue-black shadow of the three peaks
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1901-08-05

Saturday closed the twelfth week OF
The Tribunes Educational Contest and
there now remains but four weeks of
work. on Monday, September ., The
Tribune will contain the list of VIM
ners, and there is much speculation as
to just who these will be. Perhaps
some of them will be young men and
women whose names have not yet ap-
peared as it was last year. Undoubt-
cdly some of those in Table No. . will
be promoted and a corresponding num-
ber in the first table will be compelled
to go down, but who will they be? Only
the last day can decide the question.
Last week 157 points were brought in
the largest number, as usual, by Miss
Wilhelmina Griffin, who passed from
third to second place on Wednesday.
William Miles brought in the next
largest number, and bids fair to follow
Miss Griffin in her upward movement.
Miss Norma Meredith and Miss Vida
PedriCk are having pretty struggle
for seventh place, and August Brun-
ner, who is the only contestant in the
second table who has passed the cen-
tury mark, promises to have a hand in
ii before long. Miss Minnie Wallis sue
ceeded in tieing for thirteenth place
with w. II. Harris on Wednesday and
the tie still remains unbroken. The fol-
lowing table gives in detail the results
of the week:
