LOST PACKER STRIKE.

With samples of ore in chunks
weighing 100 pounds and carry
ing between $500 and 5000 in
gold per ton, in addition to 13
per cent copper from the upper
workings, and solid chalcopyrite
ore assaying 33 per cent copper
and 1920 in gold. Manager j. A.
Click came down from the Lost
Packer yesterday morning. To
say that local shareholders of the
company were elated is drawing
it mild. AS Mr.. Click unfolded
his story, even those who were
not personally interested in the
property or district from which
the ore came caught the fever
and it will not be surprising to
learn within the next day or two
that the trains north last night
carried more than one Salt LAX
er bent on getting a foothold in
Loon creek.
On the Goth of last month. Mr..
Click reported, the Lost Packer
ledge was tapped in the new tun-
mel. After the first round of
holes had been fired and solid
mass of chalcopyrite had been
exposed, he gathered his samp-
les and started out for Custer.
When he reached there he found
that the news had preceded him
and men were already pulling
out for camp. BY this time, he
expects, the new district is being
overrun by men anxious to get
hold of something, and nothing,
he thinks, can longer hold back
the boom that has been threat
ened for several months.
Everybody has been waiting
to see what the company's work
in the new tunnel would disclose,
the contention being that if ore
was encountered there the per-
manency of the lodges and the
future of the district was assur-
ed. The ore has been found, as
stated, and the boom is now on.
The Lost Packer now has car
Of ore on the market which it is
expected will net something over
80, 900, the ore being of the or
binary grade sacked, during the
winter.
During the last week that Mr..
Click was at the mine the ore
in the upper workings where the
vein averaged five feet thick,
sampled just as it went into the
sacks, an average of better than
IL ounces in gold and IA per
cent copper per ton. The next
shipment will be of that kind of
rock.
The mine is now opened at a
vertical depth of over 300 feet
below the surface and more than
half that distance below the up
per tunnel workings. AS the
point where the strike was made
in the lower tunnel is all of $50
feet farther along the vein than
the closest point above, the ore
chute is now said to exceed $50
feet Salt Lake Herald.

PROXY BENEFITS.

Venture to think of yourself as
a criminal if you exist merely to
turn so many tons of provisions
into so many pounds of human
flesh. Let the voice of the past
ring in your ears, nerving you
up to think and to plan for the
benefit of future peoples. You
may often dig wells, whereat oth-
ers shall drink. Utter no com
planning note, however; you
quench your thirst at well you
yourself did not dig. Recall the
ant-like process of accretion
whereby each conscientious in
dividual, sparing no effort, has
added his little particle to the
common fund Of progress.

TO HUMBLE FOLK.

The head-wise are often feeble
in their influence; while the be-
liefs of humble folk permeate
society and overthrow opposi-
ton. History, as written anew,
shows that national life is not
summed up in what might be
called great national occurrence
es, so much as it is in the daily
life and ideas and ideals of the
great common people. Your OPP.
inions are important; if they are
low, unhappy for The State; if
they are high, The State will
survive all attacks of evil. II
will live and grow just as high
as the humble folk are anxious
to have it and no more.

FRIENDS.

In all the wide world, the tru.

friends we have. They raise Us
to a new plane of existence.
They give us new objects and
standards. Their faith in our
purity preserves US, their belief
in our power of mind nerves us
to best endeavors, their sym.
pathy bears us up when suffer
ing from defeat. Even does it
not often happen in the swirl and
rush of mighty temptation, that
the high opinion of some one
who esteems us acts as a deter.
ring influence before the thought
of displeasing the Almighty ex.
erts any power at all ?

DEAR CHARLEY - thought
l would write few lines to let
you know how things are up in
this country. / don't like it here
very well--the climate is so bad.
There is a cold rain most all
summer, and besides about nine
months OF winter, and it is hard
for man to get onto any ground
that is any good. The whole
country is staked, and if you find
anything some fellow will come
and claim it. These fellows that
stay here all winter, go out with
dog sleds and locate the whole
country, and it holds good for
almost two years, SO you see it
don't give stranger much
chance to prospect. There are
some very rich claims here.
There is one bench claim that
goes $50 to the pan, but most of
the claims are little better than
wages. There are lots of idle
men here. / don't know what
they will all do this fall. 1t is
the hardest place l ever saw to
work for wages in, they expect
two days work in one. | am
coming out next month, as |
would not desire to winter here,
for a man can't do anything for
seven months.

older than he was when he left

TREES AND WAVES.

A tree stands, rooted fast in
one spot; a wave is driven hither
and thither by every wind that
blows. But in our Judgment of
things let US be men, free to
move at will from place to place,
and well able also, if necessary,
to brace ourselves against the
fiercest efforts of very TEMPEST
of argument. A tree is the very
counterpart of some of us. We
cling with all the roots of preju-
dice to one little spot and the
progress that comes from know.
ing there are things yet to be
known is not for us.

EFFORT.

Try to explain to yourself why
you are in Challis or any other
place and what you are here for.
Puzzle and work at it until there
comes quiet recognition that
the order of things is, first, birth;
second, effort; and last, death.
Then think how to make that
middle period most effective in
its influence upon the great or
little sphere you circle in. Effort
for self-maintenance is a prime
necessity; but il is little. Effort
for the family of which you are
a part is more. Effort for all you
can touch because they are one
human family, is most of all.

NATURES GOODNESS.

The dull, unceasing roar of
Niagara ascends forever and for
ever to the skies. Before man
WAS, it rs. There is no com
fort in it. 1t is. in moving pic
ture, the ceaseless stream of
humanity, forced relentlessly on
to the final plunge from which
none can return ever. We gaze
at its glorious fall and are moth
ing to it, Whether we linger or
depart, it carries on its unreason-
ing obedience to gravitation.
There is no feeling of kinship to
a thing so vastly enduring, and
so vastly Indifferent. Its heart
is cold. Hearts filed with warm
blood yearn for their kind.

NOTHING FINAL.

Would you stand head and
shoulders above the small men
who echo the dead? Then be
broad minded enough to be in
consistent with your past. No
knowledge that you have had on
great subjects has ever been fin
al. Recognize that, and you
will continue to grow. Some
where we have read, the place
we cannot now recall-that
dead men and fools never
change their opinions. You
are alive in moving times. In
religion, in science, in education,
in politics, a constant readiust-
ment of our opinions is neces-
sary if we would be in the world
and of it, in its forward swing.

INDEPENDENT srUPIDITY.

We think it noble to be indie
pendent, and we set our mouths
as firm as Caesars. We delude
ourselves: in our complex civili-
cation we cannot be independent
of each other. Most enlightened
is he who recognizes this to the
full and grapples every human
heart that will pulsate with
friendship. A farmers lad
knows that several sticks of
wood tied well together are I'M
breakable. By the union of
many threads the frailty of fax
becomes the strength of the
gigantic cable, mighty enough
to hold ten thousand tons safely
riding at anchor, while the winds
blow and the waves rage.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
STRUGGLE.

The way to possess power
without is to have it within. The
way TO be strong in sorties upon
the foes outside the walls is TO
be sure Of the death of traitors
within. but it is hard to deny
and still again deny oneself, =
says aquerulous voice. OF course
it is So is it harder to fight
than to bend to the blow; so is it
harder TO force the way against
a torrent than to yield to it; so is
it more tiresome to climb a steep
ascent than to glide down to des-
truction on an avalanche.

Meeting of County Judass.

The second annaul meeting of the
County Judges Association of the state
was held In the chambers of President
Ben b. Lindsey at the court house in
Denver June 2Ith.
A resolution was adopted TO obtain
through the Legislature the abolish
ment of the fee system as applied at
present to the county courts and IL was
decided to bring about legislative ac-
tion whereby all county judges should
receive uniform salary regardless of
what fees might be earned.
Because of the greater Jurisdiction
attaching to the county courts through
out the state 1t was decided that in
future all county judges shall be re-
quired to have the same qualifications
as district judges, at least in counties
of the first. second and third classes. At
present the statute provides that only
judges of counties of the first, class
shall be required to be members of
the bar in good standing.
A committee of five will be appoint
ed to be present at the next session of
the Legislature and try to have the
needed laws adopted with regard to
the practice and procedure in county
courts.
Because of such conflict and differ
ences in the rules obtaining in the
county courts of the state it was agreed
that in future uniform set of rules
be adopted which shall goSera the
practice and procedure In all county
courts as to the payment of docket fees
in probate cases. the fees which shall
be allowed lawyers for defending di
vorce cases. etc. At present these fees
vary from s25 to s5. but in future they

afford immediate relief In the most

all other remedies fail. II is especially
so In the treatment of infants and chill
drcn, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of iufantile hu.

Cuticura Ointment possesses, at tho
