The story of care You Mason?"
consists in the efforts of young husband
to comply with the wishes of his wife to
become Mason. Failing to do SO, he
deceives the confiding woman. His
father.in-law and mother-in-law appear
ing on the scene, it is discovered that
the old man has been working the same
game with his wife that the son-in-law
is practicing, his object being to get away
from home nights, not to attend the
lodge, but to take part in poker game.
Neither of the men know that the other
is not really Mason, and their efforts
to conceal the lack of knowledge of the
workings Of the order, the one from the
other, and both from their respective
wives, causes the laughter. The father
in.iaw has before been married, and his
present wife never overlooks an oppor-
tunity to remind him of the fact He il
the first to find out the deception of his
son-in-law regarding Masonry and pro-
ceeds to make the most of his knowledge,
still claiming that he himself, is Mason,
until the young husband calls in the
assistance of friend, who appears upon
the scene in skirts as dressmaker and
claims to he the long lost daughter of
the old gentleman, both of the first WIFE
Honors between father-in-law and SON
in-law are then even and no end of COM
plications are reused by the man in

Defeated the Indians.

The Yakima Grammar school nine de-
feated the Fort Simcoe Industrial school
Indian boys in very exciting game of
baseball last Saturday afternoon at the
ball park.
The visitors played an exceptionally
good game, but were weak in team work
and also failed to connect properly with
the sphereoid when hits we're needed
The Fort Simcoe boys were a nice
gentlemanly crowd of fellows and if they
couldn't beat their white opponents in
the great American National game, they
at least demonstrated to good crowd of
rooters how quick the aborignes are in
adapting themselves to the white mans
game and playing the same with credit
to themselves and the school they
represent.
The final score of Saturdays game
was 10 to in the Grammar schools
favor. Only one error was made by the
local boys who played professional ball.

Platinum and Associate Metals.

The price of Iridium, according to re-
cent quotations is $4,000 per ounce or
twice the value of gold. We have re-
peatedly announced that the ore Of plati-
nun was common in the quartz mines of
Custer county and that platinum is al
ways alleged with osmium, palladium and
iridium. Our people do not yet under
stand the wealth that is contained in our
platinum bearing mines together with
the associated metals. The existence Of
platinum in the southern Hills has often
been denied by those whose knowledge
of metallurgy is not equal to the task OF
making the separation. But graduates
of the schools of Freiburg, Berlin, and OF
London, have made the separation with
out difficulty, and gave as a result oftheir
analysis as high as l9pounds of platinum
with its associate metals to the ton ofore.
The knowledge of the existence Of this
ore in our mines will dawn upon our
mine owner gradually year by year as
fast as our metallurgists come to learn
| the rudiments of their business and no
faster. These things, no matter how
true or important they may be, cannot
be forced upon the knowledge of the
public until the public mind is educated
up to a point where they can receive and
assimilate it. We have all been taught
in our youth that knowledge is power"
Most of us have lived long enough to
learn that this is not so. When we look
around we find that ignorance sits in
power in most all the walks of life, and
he who gains a little more knowledge
than his fellows is unrecognized, unap-
preciated and leads a lonely life. Your
school mas err who is deeply vetsed in
history, the rules Of government, mathe,
MATES, languages and laws can occas'
sionally find employment at 5000 year
but if you want to hire a good ball play
err you must pay him $4,000 a year. II
knowledge is power then the kings oil
! the earth would be the wise men Of the
earth. Does anyone contend that they
are? No, our advise to young men would
be to keep well up abreast of the times,
but don't get too far ahead. II you
should find that in the race for knowl'
edge you have out stripped your fellows
then play ignorant and never let it be
known.

M III Items,

A report comes from the Clara Belle
mine that very rich free gold ore has
been encountered in the bottom of the
shaft.
A gas spouter with 500 pounds press
ure is reported to have been struck in
the oil fields eight miles east Of Douglas
Wyoming.
A rather new system of blasting is be-
coming quite common in the mines COW
ering the fiat formation in the northern
Hills. Instead of drilling deep holes in
the rock, they run in a tunnel for 30 or
60 feet. At the end Of this tunnel they
place about three tons of powder, and
when all is ready they touch the luton
and "let her 90 Gallagher" This will
generally knock down ore enough to
keep a mill running for a month.
The Custer Mountain Mining company
is the name of an organization recently
formed on group ofmines located about
two miles in a southeasterly direction
from Custer City. The main shaft is
now down to a depth of 60 feet on a ver-
teal vein about three feet in thickness.
The ore is q pyrite, is very heavy with
metal which runs well in gold and has
the appearance of being well impregnat-
ed with nickel. The names Of the d.
rectors are John Oak, Denis Henault,
Sam Virtue and VIM. Nevin, Jr. The
vein is widening and they have every
indication. of a rich and valuable mine.
The Horseshoe Mining company at
their recent meeting made some changes
both as to the personnel of the directors
and officers which, according to the last
election, are as follows: President, f.
B. Alsup; vice president, P. M. Watson /;
general manager, w. L. Mclaughlin /;
Secretary, c. f. sproul treasurer, r. II.
Binnis. These are all residents of Pitts
burgh, except the general manager who
resides in Dsadwood. The Horseshoe is
next to the Homestake, the largest in
point of capacity of production and own
ership of mineral ground in the Black
Hills, and with proper management may
in a few wears become the first.

Harry +. Way, who was 80 severely
hurt while working in the Horseshoe
mill, came in from Deadwood on the 22d
and is under the care Of DR.. Calkins at
his house. Mr.. Way who was injured
80 seriously about the spine that he
was entirely paralized from his hips
down, has improved to such ar extent
that he can move his limbs a little. He
is now able to walk by the assistance Of
a man on each side OF him to hold him
up and steady him, and can move around
in an invalid chair. He is gradually
gaining strength and feeling in his legs,
and will soon be able to navigate on
crutches and can then largely take care
of himself. Harry is gaining in flesh, is
feeling quite comfortable except thathis
back is weak and some care is necessary
that he does not get in a strained posi-
ton. He is doing well and feels quite
encouraged to find that he is improving
80 fast, and has reason to hope that in a
few months he will be able to dispense
with much outside help, and may YET
make himself useful in some remunera'
tive employment.
