According to the newspaper reports
the Battle Lake district has less snow
than most of the mining camps this
winter. We have only enough snow
to make good sleighing and the pros
pectors are taking advantage of the
open winter to develop their claims.
People are coming in every day on
the stage, and are surprised that we
have so little SNOW. After having
listened to the tales of the prevarica-
tor they expect to find people coming
out of their house, through the roof
by means of a hoist. The n is be-
low the level of the sidewalks in most
places. So, if you want to see the
greatest copper camp on earth, don't
hesitate come right in and see us.

SENATOR +. Il. Warren was elected to
succeed himself in the United States
Senate. last Tuesday, by the state legis,
lature In joint assembly.
The tribute was a deserved one, but it
il seldom that an entire Legislature Is
of so unanimousa an opinion with regard
to their choice. 1t is generally consid-
cred necessary for the aspirant to be on
hand and looking personally after his
chances, mending fences, as it were, in
order to keep the party in line. In this
case the entire republican party Of the
state-and very many Of the democratic
faith as well-were practically unari-
nous in their desire to have Senator
Warren reelected to another term in the
Senate. So unanimous was this feeling
that no other name has been even men
tuned in connection with the place.
Senator Warren is one of the ablest
men in the west-and il has many able
men. He has always been a faithful
and consistent public servant, and has
served his state with answering and
unflagging zeal. His name has never
been connected with any disreputable
act or scheme. His record is clean and
he has not only the admiration and con
tidence Of his constituents, but he has
the esteem and respect Of his fellow
Senators. His name has come to be a
power and so generally is he liked that

ton with the legislature from his state.

Do Not Drink While Eating.

Liquids at meals, il taken too often or
too carlessly, are liable to dilute the gle.
trlc juices. Take no liquid OF any kind
when food is in the mouth, Take AZ
little rs possible till the close Of the
meal, The digestive agents themselves
being fluids it is reasonable to suppose
that an excess of liquids taken with the
food will have a tendency to dilute and
thereby weaken the digestive juices

1t seems quite a riot was had at
Rambler night before last, in which
revolvers and other weapons were very
much in evidence. There is only one
thing to do and that is, put a stop to
such rows at once. The day has long
since passed for allowing any such
breaks, guns and bad men are at a
discount in this district and if an ex-
ample was made of one or two ii
would soon stop. Neither Rambler
nor Battle can afford to tolerate these

Iron the Foundation of Our Success.

Iron the Foundation of Our Success.
1t may be truthfully said that iron is
at the foundation of the achievements
which this country attained during the
past century. 1t made the building OF
steam engines and constru :tion of rail.
roads possible. Without it the West
would be but sparsely inhabited today.
The use of iron is more general as the
years come and go. More of it will con.
tinue TO Toe used, and prices will always
insure the miner and manufacturer
good wages and dividends. A city
which has mountains Of iron for its

Oh wouldn't it be comical
II horses had web feet,
II kangaroos wore Easter hats
To shield them from the heat,
If turtles talked through telephones
And wore long, sea green hair;
Oh wouldn't it be cumical
And wouldn't people stare.
Surprising little boys had bills
And all they said was 'quack,"
just fancy how "a frog would look
With feathers on its back
Or how a hippopotamus
Would drive ii trolley ear:
But there, l guess you think that things
Are all right as they are.

Every One Born for Some purpose.

EVERY One Born for Some purpose.
Everybody was born for some purpose.
Some people are not gifted with sense
sufficient to find out this purpose and
are a discredit and a charge to the hu.
nam race. Some see Il fair glimpse of
the purpose of their creation and are
like a laundering ship, at the mercy of
the surrounding elements. And, still
there are many, many, many, who know
and see enough to make themselves
think they know it all and are more con.
tent and satisfied to be judging and at.
tending the affair of others than looking
to their W good. The wise man looks
after his own business and lets his
neighbor do likewise.

An Essay on Newspapers.

Here's the latest on the editor by a
youthful essayist, says the Chicago Her.
aid. Newspapers are sheets Of paper
on which stuff is printed. The men
look over the paper to see if their name
isn't in it and m use it to make
bustles for themselves. ! don't know
how newspaper men came into the
world. | don't think God knows. The
Bible says nothing about editors and |
have nevc heard Of one being in heaven.
/ guess the editor IL the missing link
them fellers talk about. The first editor
| ever heard tell of was the fellow who
wrote up the flood. He has beer here
ever since. Some editors belong to
the church and some try to raise whisk-
ers. All Of them are liars. at least all I
know, and | only know one, Editors
never die. At least ! never saw a dead
n Sometimes the paper dies and
then the people feel glad, but someone
else starts il up again. Editors never
went to school because they never got
licked. Our paper is a mighty poor one.
