ELK Mountain Copper Discoveries As
sumirg Great Importance-Ore
Grows Richer Every Day
Pushing Development.

I'd
W. r. Wilcox came in from Elk
Mountain with specimens of copper
4 ore which they are taking out of the
Elk Mountain Group. The ore is al
most pure copper glance and rivals
anything in richness that has eve yet
h been discovered in the Battle Lake
4 country. The specimens which were
left with us are the finest we ever saw
4 and are enough to send a mans
blood bounding through his veins at
very rapid rate.
Mr. Wilcox said: ave went in 80
feet on a tunnel on this property and
then sank a VIM and this ore, which
am showing you, comes from the
bottom of that VIM, at a depth of 45
feet from the surface. 1t will run
about $50 to the ton in value. We
nave never had the glance assayed for
. copper, but think it will run fully
20 per cent in that mineral and $40 to
the ton in gold.
"One wall is gray granite and the
other is of a lime formation. The
vein where we are now working is
about three feet in width and, while
not all of it is ore of this character, it
will average up very well all the way
through. We expect, when we get
depth, that we will find the ore body
continuous and all just like these
chunks | have brought you, which are
samples picked off of the ore now 60
ing into the ore house.
"We are working only four men at
present, that being all we can use,
but we are having a chute constructed
to run the ore right down from the
mouth of the tunnel to the ore house
and expect to be able to put o more
men very soon. We are examining
the ore very carefully with the view
of sorting and shipping all that will
pay to do so. We have a car of ore
in the ore house now and as soon as
we get the mine opened up, so we can
take out the ore in quantity, we in
tend to put teams to hauling to the
railroad.
THE company has been very sue
cessful in disposing of its treasury
stock. We sold 25,00O shares at 10
cents and then raised it to 10 cents,

This great work must be prosecut-
ed until the last acre of land and
sage brush susceptible of irrigation
is brought under the revivifying in
huence of water. The question may
be asked why not allow private CAPT
tai to carry on the work which it has
already commenced. The answer is
that private persons cannot control
the sources of supply. Another and
more convincing reason why the Ma
tional Government should solve the
problem, instead of leaving it to in
dividuals and corporations, is that
private enterprise has reached its
limit. 1t has on the whole been a
losing business. 1t has failed finan-
cially for reasons which would not be
operative against the Government

NATIONAL AID.
To Construct Reservoirs And Aid in
Reclaiming the Arid West
Opinions of the Press.

The power and duty of the Govern
ment to conserve the waters either by
forests or reservoirs arise from the
fact that upon their preservation de-
ponds the very existence of the coun-
try. With water we may have in the
arid region prosperous communities,
populous States and National wealth,
resources and power; without water
we have deserts, desolation and death.

The first and most immediate bene-
fits would result to agriculture in the
use of the water to irrigate the arid
lands of the far West. The second
result would be the diverting of those
flood waters from the Mississippi riv-
er, thereby relieving the lowlands of
the valley from the foundations they
periodically cause without such diver
sion. While Louisiana has a general
interest in the improvement of the en-
tire country, and in the promoting of
its agriculture, this States special
interest is in the relief from floods
from the great rivers that pour their
waters down from the mountains up
on the lowlands.-New Orleans Plea

Blessing the Danube.

From time immemorial it has been the custom in Roumania, at Christ mas, to bless the Danube.
 Formerly scaffoIding was erected on the frozen river, and on this was a large cross of ice; but owing to the extraordinary number of people who presented themselves the ice ire quently gave way, and many were drowned. The ceremony now takes place on the bank of the Danube The people, in recognition of the oc- casion, wear turbans of colored paper, and carry long, white wands. These people, who are dressed to represent Pontius Pilate, Herod and other re- place singing hymns, which are al carols.
 At the appointed hour of the cere- mony the notablities arrive in pro- cessional order, accompanied by the priests. The service lasts half an hour, at the close of which the ice is broken and small wooden cross is thrown into the water. Hundreds of people rush in after it, and the per- son who is successful in recovering it is considered very lucky. Sometimes the struggle to possess these crosses is attended with several fatalities, owing to disputes arising as to the ownership of the cross. In the scuf- 1e which ensues, it is said. knives are sometimes drawn and used without scruple.-London Express.

ChiIlren of fi,e Snia

The Cape of Good Hope was discov- cred by Diaz, the Portuguese navi- gator. six years before Columbus saw San Salvador. In the middle of the seventeenth century the Dutch East India company formed a permanent settlement at the foot of Ia ble noun tain. The first settlers were French Huguenots, Dutch Protestants and German Lutherans. As immigration increased the hardy pioneers moved north from Table bay on the grea t prairies called veldts. Here as pas toral shepherds they began that lone ly life which has developed in its fol lowers courage, self-reliance, love of independence and of solitude, the lead ing traits of the Boer of to-day. They were called 'boer," which is the Dutch word for farmer.-N. Y. Herald.

the church before Andrew came hena to it seemed to be to meet togethAR= for meetings which gave occasion for good deal of feeling and emotion but never realized anything of prae-: tical nature in helping to relieve thas pressure of the physical needs of men. The whole thing evaporated in feeling and psalm singing and prayers chat never really got much outside the walla of the vestry.
 E'I'm not crying down the Christian lives of the church members. There are hundreds of them better than T. am, but the expression of their Chris> tianity through the structure of the church seemed to me almost nOthfngJ One may be just as strong as anOtherr but if one of them is using 8 dull az and the other one a sharp ax to cut down q tree the strength of the two men is not being equally spent so far as getting results goes, and the man with the sharp tool will do the best work, not because he has more muscle, but a better aX. It came upon me with the force of a conversion that I never could do much through the church as an instrument. That's the reason l went into the Salvation Ar- my. It represented the sacrificial spirit of Christianity to me a hundred times where the church did not represent 1t at all. Take the Church of St. Peter here in Champion. It is always spoken of in the papers as the most faShiOna- ble church in town. Think of thatI So The News Crier stated in giving the account of it's annual meeting. What do those people know of sacri- flee or of the spirit of Christ, who gave up all his riches to become poor for the sake of dying humanity? I'm sitting in judgment on them, and shall some time be called to account for doing it, but if 1 was Catholic I'd be willing to sit on the hottest fire in purgatCry to say what think about an 'aristocratic church. And this one here in Champion is only one out of thousands all over the country. What is the church, as an institution, doing to obey the command of Christ, to deny itself, take up it's cross, forsake it's ease and pleasure and follow him ?''
