A Big Strike for Johnnie o'NeiII.

The big North Star Mine on Sultan
Mountain, Silverton, Colorado, have
struck very rich vein of copper and
gold. They sunk shaft 110 feet and
drifting so feet cut the most import
ant vein in this section. The lowest
estimate of gold and copper in this
ledge and the upper ledge on which
they had been working runs far into
the millions Of dollars. j. G. O'Neill
the General Manager, promoter and
principal owner, arri we'd in Silverton
Thursday morning the day after the
big vein was cut. Beside this rich
vein the company has other rich hold
ings surrounding the North Star
which will make large output OF
rich ore for years to come.
Silverton received this news with
JOY as it means an additional payroll
of $4,000 a week for Silverton labor
Siluertoas Standard.
Some months ago we published an
item to the effect that that John
O'Neill had struck it rich and the
above confirms the report, and from
other newspaper items and correspon-
dence we have seen the above is no
exaggeration, and we are told on good
authority that the stock John holds
can be disposed of at the present time
for s40O, 900 and is going higher every
day. His many friends here will all
rejoice at his good fortune. Several
Cresco people are also among the for
tunate holders of stock in this mine.

In Memoriam.

Lines to the memory of Raymond
Otto Halweg, of Davis Corners, by
Rosetta Walter.
All's well with Little Raymond,
Every earthly pain is DER;
And his soul is sweetly resting;
Safe in Christ for evermore.
Ere sin could harm dear Raymond
Death came with friendly care;
The opening bud to heaven conveyed
And hade it blossom there.
This lovely bud; so young, so fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet flower
In Paradise would bloom.
There, in the Shepherds bosom,
White as the drifted snow,
Is the little lamb we missed one morn
From the household iiock below.
We shall meet again Our loved ones.
For their only gone before;
Aud they're waiting there to greet us
| On the bright eternal shore.

Strike al the Root Of the Eyn.

The Food and Dairy Commissioner
OF Minnesota has apparently come to
the conclusion, as prominent hsalth
officers elsewhere have that the alGm
baking powder evil has been temporized
with long enough, and that drastic meas
ures should be enforced to stop further
harm from the use of alum in food In
his recent official report he says:
Several grocers have been arrested for
selling powders containing alum, under
that clause of the law which prohibits
the sale Of = powder containing any in
gredient which is deleterious or injurious
TO the public health But the most ef-
fectiye law against such evils would be
one specifically and positively prohibit
ing the use of alum, formaldehyde, sail
cylic acid, boric acid, borax and other
injurious sub.tances in any article used
az, or in the preparation of food or drink,
under penalty of fine or imprisonment.
Such a law would prevent the sale of
injurious substances for and in connect
ion with food preparations, and be clear
ly beneficial TO the public. It could
be much more easily enforced because
the question as to what substances are
considered injurious would be largely
eliminated
