1t should be taken into consideration

tions would prevent this II time was no

information he may require.
Another important matter that should

A MINISTER'S OPINION.
There Are Neither Blood Nor Tears on
Mineral Wealth.

Robert Mcintyre, a Methodist minist-
er OF Chicago, has stirred up some of his
bretheren because he "grubstaked" u
miner for the Klondike. He says:
"Conscientious scruples against such
an undertaking? No scruples whatever
entered my mind then, nor have they
since. 1t was purely and simply mat.
ter Of principle. The sermon on the
mount and the ten commandments
don't come into the matter and theology
needn't.
"The fact il, | admire miners
wealth. It's clean, There are no tears
or blood upon it, II is acquired away
from the scheming and cut throat COM
petition that characterizes ordinary
businss ventures, where the success Of
one man so often means the disaster
and downfall OF some other man or per-
haps a number OF men. Nobody has
been wronged. The miner who digs II
fortune out Of the ground has the salts.
faction that he hasn't robbed a soul,
even though he becomes II hundred times
u millionaire.
"Then, too, there il another factor TO
take into consideration. A man who
makes u fortune on the board Of trade,
or stock exchange, adds nothing to the
world's stock Of wealth. The world, in
other words, is no richer, rather, because
somebody else is poorer. The miner, on
the other hand, whether he digs out
500, 600 or 800, 900 900, adds that much
to the worlds wealth, and with the add
ed wealth he contributes Just that much
to the worlds comforts and pleasures.
As l look at the matter, there are few
producers of wealth. The many live on
the few. The only man comparable
with the miner 10 the farmer. lie gets
what he has direct from nature, but he
produces perishable wealth. While he
meets want, his contribution to the
worlds wea lth therefore il not a perma.
nent one like the miners. The miner
is today the king wealth producer Of the
country, and honor him above the
others. 1t il no dishOnOr, it needs no
apology to emulate his example or assist
him in hls efforts. There's the whole
question in . nutshell, As l just said
On the miners wealth there 10 no blood
no tears, no groans, suffering nor sorrow
caused to others. .-Exchsnge.

A MINERAL EXHIBIT.
Suggestions for Those Having
the Matter Under Con-
sideration.

There can be no question but that u
permaent organization of those interest
ed in the mining industry will be effect
ed.
The meeting held on Saturday night
at the Hotel Sumpter which was well
attended by representative business men
of Sumpter and Baker City, attest this
fact.
Just what shape the organization will
take, at this writing has not been decid.
ed upon.
But from the enthusiasm displaye led
there can be no doubt but that plans
will be effected in thoroughly advertis.
ing the resources Of, as So often express
ed the ut meeting" the greatest gold
mining camp in the world"
Many suggestions no doubt will be
made to the committee having the mat.
ter in charge, and II is a foregour con.
clusion that the committee will consider
them in time and adopt those which
are the most feasible. 1t is the opinion
OF many that u mineral exhibit Is a
feature that aids wonderfully in calling
attention to the mineral riches Of Il
mining country. In fact it was an ex.
hibition Of this kind that WIS such An
important factor in drawing the atten.
ton Of the world to the mining resources
which surround Spokane.
To properly advertise by means OF an
exhibit Of this kind; large room in a
central location should be secured. II
should he on the ground floor II possible
so rs to be easyof access. In this room
should be placed tables and stands ar.
ranged for the reception OF differen,
samples and specimens from the various
mines and prospects.
Huge pieces which may weigh hund.
reds Of pounds, can be placed on the
floor or on tables not so high AZ those
intended for smaller samples. Concen.
trates are shown to better advantage II
placed in glass bottles and sealed.
Rare and valuable specimens can he
The legs OF the tables can he draped
with some suitable material and the
same kind OF drapery should be thrown
over the stands on which the large pieces
are exhibited. BY this means common
goods boxes can be utalized as rests Tor
the heavier ore.
II care is taken in arranging a room
of this kind, it will have the appearance
OF beinga vast mineral cabinet. 1t will
be attractive and leave lasting impres.
sion on the mind OF any one who has
visited ii,
One Of the most important adjuncts Ia
q mineral exhibit as above described
however, is to have a properly qualified
person in charge OF the same. lie
should be man Of pleasing addi ess,
fairly well posted on mining, concentra.
ton, reduction and the general man.
ipulatiOn of ores 80 that he can explain
to the inquirer everything connected
with the industry from the time the pro-
spectOr commences to search for the
hidden treasure until the product Of the
mine or reduction work ia in refined
bullion.
The salary Of an employee. who could
also act a. secretary Of the association,
should be sufficient 90 that he would
not be tempted to boost sales or use his
privilege for the purpose Of furthering
his own ends.
Should these suggestions be adopted
it will be surprising to many how soon
the effects will be seen. Those who
have examined the exhibit will speak ci

OFFICIALLY RENEWED.
Strike in Certain Galleries Around
HazIeton, Pa.

Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 31.-The strike at
the seven colieries of Coke Bros. & Co,
the four mines of G.. B. Markle & Co.
and the Silver Brook operation Of j.
S. Wentz & Co. was officially renewed
during the day through an order issued
by District Secretary Gallagher of the
United Mine Workers, upon instruc-
lions from President Mitchell. The
strikers at these mines were not per-
mitted to return to work in a body, the
Coxes insisting that their employees
make personal application for their
former positions and G.. B. Markle &
Co. requiring that each man, before
going back to work, promise to abide
by the decision of the arbitration com
mission. The mine workers allege
that the object of these requirements
is discrimination against men who
were prominent in the strike.
A. Pardee & Co.'s %collieries, where
the men have been asked not to inter.
fere with %nonunion hands, are not in.
cluded in the strike order. The men
voted on Saturday not to esum work
until the agreement is withdrawn.

attack the evil by direct proceedings,
through the aid of the courts, which
will be clothed with plenary powers for
this purpose; and the courts will de-
telmine ithe nature of the evils, and
punish the offenders by a summary
process. and thus effect a decisive and
permanent remedy. But the party
proposes to protect and expand all law
full enterprises, and to render them an
adjunct to prosperity and progress.
The people Of North Dakota should
vote, and vote right; and for the parry
which has brought and will maintain
prosperity, by Intelligent and business
principles. The people know a good
thing when they see it, and should
hang On ITO it with a grasp of death.
