A WONDERFUL example of courage
and perseverance is David J. Mackey
OF Evansville, Ind, who only few
years ago was one Of the great railroad
magnates OF that state, but financial
reverses swept away all his earthly
possessions and in short time he also
lost his oldest daughter and his wife.
He accepted a position as manager of
local paper mill and Notwithstanding
his adversely and sorrow, stuck to his
post of duty with view of regaining
his fortune. At the age of 70 he
now intends to go to New York and
engage in mercantile pursuits and
hopes to amass fortune once more.
The reverses in a business way and the
sorrow in the loss of members of his
family which Mr.. Mackey suffered
would be sufficient to break down most
men of his age, and there is a lesson to
be learned in this Indiana mans per-
sistence and determination to win in
the face of great odds. A man at 20
who is not physical wreck and who
wills he will win has better chance
of winning than man at 40 who has
his fears and misgivings. ..:#

THE discovery of Bessemer ore on
section 36 near Virginia, Minn., will
no doubt prove rich find for the Min

lowest possible estimate of the ore is
100000 900 tons. At the present rate of
royalty for mining ore on State school
land this amount of ore would net the
school fund s2,50o,o0o. This is GER
