LOOKS LIKE A GOOD THING.
Taking Out One Hundred Dollar Ore at
Placer Basin
Cuprum Standard.

Cuprum Standard
d. f. Weston was down Monday
from Placer Basin where he and
partners are working a rich quartz
claim. Speaking of the property in
question Mr.. Weston said: II am
convinced that we have good prop
erty there and l shall certainly de-
vote all the time and money at my
disposed toward proving it. We
have good, clean ledge about three
feet in width with pay streak over
foot wide. The ledge lies between
walls of porphyry and slate, which,
| believe, is good indication of
permancy. The ore goes from 800
to $3.50 per ton in gold with small
silver values.
'sThere are three of us working at
the present time and we are taking
out over half ton of ore a day in
sinking the shaft. We have now
reached depth of over 80 feet and
will continue to the 1875 foot mark,
when we will begin drifting and
blocking out for the future stopping
All the timbering is of perman-
ent nature and we intend to make
everything safe to guard against
future trouble. We expect to begin
shipping so soon as the condition of
the roads will permit after the COM
pletion of the P. & l. N. extension
to Council"
Mr.. Weston has figured the cost
of shipping and working at the pre-
sent to be $32 per ton, which, even
at that rate, will leave good margin
on the ore. The property is owned
by D. EyWestern, Mrs. Edith Weston,
Henry Weston and Joe Hutchins, each
holding quarter interest. The pro
perty is but six miles from Cuprun
by trail and lies within a stones
throw of the Black Lake wagon road

BIG ENOUGH TO HIT.
30 Thought the Small Boy, but the
Man Thought Differently.

He wasn't very big, but he was a
sturdy little chap with face that bore
the marks Of much thinking and pre-
mature responsibility. l learned after
ward that he was supporting q crippled
mother and an invalid sister who had
been left helpless in the world by the
death of her father. He might have
run away from home and evaded the
responsibility, but he didn't think OF
it. He just sold papers.
At the loop on Fifteenth street a
crowd was gathered, waiting for the
evening cars. a ragged young girl was
selling flowers at the Fifteenth street

rushing to catch his car, knocked her

his rush, when the boy stepped in front

"Say, what do you want to knock a
girl down for? Hit me. I'm big

The man paused in surprise and then
glanced around. He saw the flower

he went back to her, gave her enough
money to make her eyes sparkle with
joy and said:

FOR THE BOY.

Never treat another boys sister
/ better than your own.
Never lay aside your manners when
| you take off your fine clothes.
] Never make fun Of your com panion
because of misfortune he could not
| help.
Never make fun Of old age. no
matter how decrepit or evil it may
be. Gods hand rests lovingly on the
aged.
Never call anybody bad names, no
matter what anybody calls you. You
cannot throw mud and keep your
hands clean.
Never quarrel. When yoar tongue
gets unruly, lock it in, if need be,
bite if, Never suffer it to advertise
your bad temper.
Never be cruel. You have no right
to hurt even a fly unnecessarily
Cruelty is the trait Of the bully; kind
ness the mark Of gentleman.
Never make comrades Of boys who
are continually doing and saying evil
things. A boy, as man, is know by
the company he keeps.
Never cheat or be unfair in your
play. Cheating is contemplate any
where at any age. Your play should
strengthen, not weaken your charac-
ter
Never lie. Even white lies leave
black spots on your character. What
is your opinion Of a liar? Do you
wish other people to have a like
opinion Of yourself?
Never hesitate to say no when ask
ed to do a wrong thing, but say no 50
distinctly that no one can understand
yov to say yes.
Never make sport Of those miser-
able creatures, a drunken man or
woman. They are wrecks; but God
alone knows the stress of storms which
drove them upon the breakers. Weep
rather than laugh.
Never be unkind to your father and
mother. When they are dead, and
you have children of your own,
YOU will discover that even though
you did your best, you were able to
make only a part payment of the debt
YOU owe them. The balance you
must pay to your own children.
When in need of building papers write rs
for prices and samples delivered at your
Station.

INACCURATE PEOPLE ARE DISHONEST.

It g not safe to trust people who
are habituaIy inaccurate in their
work. Even with the best intentions
il the world, they become dishonest.
Before they are aware Of it, the habit
Of inaccuracy EXTENDS to their state
ments. They dc not take pains to be
thorough in anything they undertake,
even il clearly expressing the truth.
Those people never carry much
weight in & community. however
honest IN principle they may be, be-
cause Eo reliance can be placed on
words or work. You cannot depend
upon what they tell you IF they are
orators, they are discredited; If they
are at the bar, the judges always take
their statements cum grCpo sails; if in
the pulpit, they do not win the respect
of the congregation. In fact, what
ever those people do, they are placed
at disadvantage because Of their in
accuracy.
There is i great difference between
rotEg Just right and a little wrong.
THESE victims of inaccuracy did not
start right. They failed to realize
that what is put into the first Of life
is put into the whole Of life.
A pebble il a tiny stream will turn
the course Of river, so the seemingly
unimportant habit Of inaccuracy has
kept many a man from success by
changing the current Of his life.
Accuracy. doing things to a finish,
Is one OF the most important lessons
that can be taught a child, because
there is a moral quality atstake. The
whole character is often undermined
by the unfortunate habit Of inaccuracy.
Men whose ability would have made
them peers in their communities have
become nonentities, and their careers
mediocre or total failures, simply be-
cause they were allowed in childhood
to form the habit Of half doing things,
and of making half or exaggerated
statements.

After finishing their work with the
trunks the men went up stairs to i

that they overlooked her most valuable
curtains, which had been placed well
back on upper shelves.
Suddenly she seemed to be transport

where she especially noted the bronze
figure Of an Indian which surmounts
the prison edifce.
At breakfast the next morning she
related her vivid dream to those pres

was found that the city house had been
entered and robbed. On the newell post

The Common Offering.

It is not the deed we do.
Tho the deed be never so fair
But the love that the dearL ord looketh for,
Hidden with holy care
In the heart OF the deed so fair.
The love is the priceless thing,
The treasure our treasure must hold,
Or ever the Lord will take the gift,
Or tell the worth of the gold.
By the love that cannot be told.
Behold US, the rich and the poor.
Dear Lord, in thy service draw near;
One consecrateth precious coin,
One droppeth only a tear:
Look, Master-the love is here!

BRADSTREET'S VERMONT IRA
REPORT.
TRADE

Inquiry ia Vermont through Brad
streets Burlington representative,
reveals the following conditions:
The farmabIe agricultural interests
have been strengthened the past week
ty considerable rainfall and pros
poets for large, though late crops are
improved. No disturbing feature of
Importance has been reported that
would interfere with business, which
in general continues good throughout
the state. In wholesale lines there
has been the usual distribution in Bur-
ington and collectors are fair. Lun-
Der continues firm in price and the
demand both in wholesale and retail
lines, appears to be good. At Ben
nington there appears to be falling
off n demand for some lines of knit
goods, condition due, it is thought, TO
overproduction and some inactivity is
noted among the mills, with conse-
quent slight effects on retsil business:
collections, however, are reported
good. Rutland reports manufacturing
business active: the large marble in
terests centralin the vicinity, are very
busy and prospects encOurag ing: with
retail trade fair and collections good.
Business is seasonably dull at Newport !
and conditions are much as usual. /
This holds good for Bristol, except |
tlrat collections at this point are re-
ported somewhat slow; some appre- /
tension for late crops, which was felt /
locally. has been relieved by heavy .
rains which insures q better harvest.
Business conditions at BrattIeboro in
practically all departments are re
ported fair. The granite business at
Barre continues active, scarcity Of
labor being felt. Montpelier reports
business good, labor is well employed
and conditions in various lines are ia
vorable Al Hardwick there appears
to be.about the usual business in the
granite sheds. The important lumber
interests in Lam0iIle county are favor
able: the product brings q good figure
and business outlook is pronounced
good. The strike in the railroad shops
al St. Adams has practically collapsed.
While there are a number of idle men
in consequence ofthe strike, the shops
are running and other manufacturing
interests are Well employed and gen
eral conditions prevail.
"Bradstreet's Journal" in reporting
on conditions in the country at large,
says:
Gan available measures of supply,
demand and movement point to the
business done in July having exceed
ed anything transacted in any similar
month. This. too, despite
the exceptionally hot weather,
drought, strike talk and similar IN
favorable conditions to business ex-
tension. Bank clearing5 last week
showed the expansion, and clearings
for the first week Of August show con
tinued increases over last year and
preceding periods. Prices in the
month just closed made & further ad-
vance from the low level Of June 1,
and finally, gross railway earnings
for July point to increases alike
in volume and il percentage far ex-
ceeding any previous July, and heav-
Ter, in fact, than for any. previous
month for more than a year past"
