Prospects Most Glowing,


The net profits of the Kendall mine
at present is $4,000 a month, and
next spring, when the capacity of the
mill is increased by the addition Of
eight more tanks, the monthly profits
will be over 100000 handsome sum
Of money to be cleared up every thirty
days by a mine not yet in active opera
ton for two years, says the Kendall
Chronicle. The Barnes-K King mine is
equally as rich a proposition as the
Kendall mine, and while the output is
not as great just now. before the year
is ended there will be another mill
erected on the north end of the prop
erty, that will bring the output Of
the Barnes-King mines to over 500
tons Of ore daily, and even then the
ore bodies of this property will not be
worked to anywhere near their limit.
Besides the two mines mentioned
above, there are three properties now
being developed as rapidly as possible,
with the intention of erecting a mill
on each of them before this time next
year, viz: the Abby; the property just
north of the Abby which vas bonded
last November for $4,000, to the
Case-Wilson Mining company; and
two claims north of the Kendall mine,
upon which L. s. Woodbury., a Great
Falls mining man, secured a desirable
bond last November. Development
work on these properties has thus far
proved satisfactory, and the men in
control Of them are enthusiastic and
confident from the showing made with
the comparatively small amount OF
money expended. So much for the
properties that are now being develop
ed with the intention of erecting mills
on them in the near future. Then
there are claims, some Of
which adjoin the Kendall and the
Barnes-King mines, and others on the
same ore belt, and not far distant,
that have little or no work done on
them Many of these claims have ex-
celleni surface indications, but they
belong to men without means to do
extensive development work on them,
and are consequently lying idle until
capital comes here to invest in such
propositions. 1t is only a matter of
time, and a very short time at that, be-
fore all such claims will be taken up
by capitalists, some of whom are al.
ready familiar with the great mineral
wealth of the North Moccasin noun
tains. Hundreds OF men will be EN-.

WHY Not Raise Waees7

The world is waiting for multimil-
lionaire who is willing to lessen his
burdensome income by increasing the
pay of those who are the instruments
of his success. Let him do what he
pleases with bis surplus accumula-
lions. 1t would not be in every sense
agreeable to see him bestow 1t as a
gratuity on his employees, for such a
course would have the appearance OF
charity. But let him recognize the
past and present services OF his help
ers by such an increase In wages as
would be commensurate with the
great value of those services and
would also serve to decrease the EN-
barrassment of riches.-Kansas City

THE STREET WORK
Contractor Terrell Announces
He is Ready to Sign.
The Street Committee ::will Nee, This
Afternoon to Decide the Question.

Contractor Ed Terrell today said he
was willing to sign the contract pre-.
sented him by the city, and pave the
streets a. stipulated in the speciiioa-
tions. He announced this afternoon
that he was ready to sign contract
embodying the bid he made and on
which he was awarded the work.
In case the city backs out and de-
clines to sign q contract in accordance
with the bid made by Mr.. Terrell, the
latter will resist any effort to retain
his $500 forfeit.
The only change suggested il for
the brick. Mr.. Terrell bid on Evans
Vile brick and the city has decided to
use Galesburg, III. brick, which stood
the test best and will add considera
bly, to the cost of the improvement I,
and which additional cost will have to
be paid by the city.
1t might be added, in explain alton,
that the grouting and excavations, for
which Mr.. Terrell asked extras after
making his bid and being awarded
the contract, and for which the city
declined to allow extras, are not spec.
flied in the bid, and consequently can
not bs in Q contract embodying only
the terms Of the bid. Ii is said that
Mr.. Terrell will count on bringing suit
for the extras after the work is com
pleted il the city resists, as the con

ment were allowed extras for the ex

MR.. CARNEGIE'S EXPERIMENT.
Mr.. Carnegie has departed from his
time honored custom of building pub
lie libraries long enough to embark in
an experiment in his native country.
He has given Dunfermline, his home
town, S2,500, 900 with which to ex-
pertinent with view to ascertaiping
by what method rich man can best
benefit the masses in the distribution
of his money. In his own words:
at is an experiment, the object OF
which is to attempt to introduce into
the monotonous lives of the toiling
masses of Dunfermline more of sweet
ness and light; to give them, especial
ly the young, some charm, some ele-
waiting conditions of life which their
residence elsewhere would have de-
MED, so that child in his native
town will feel, however far he may
have roamed, that simply by virtue of
being such his life has been made hap
pier and better"
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Carnegie,
before his entire fortune is given
away, will find the best use to which
his benefsctions can be put He has
given away millions and millions, and
1t is extremely doubtful if the pur-
poses for which his money has been
used are the best for the struggling
masses, for whose use and benefit
principally his gifts have been intend
ed. II seems to be the general impress
sion that in this day of cheap books
and voluminous newspapers many
things would be greater DEMENT'S to the
masses than public Libraries.

and instantly killed Abran Jiron. The
former was a sheep herder and the lat
ter foreman of the ranch. Jiron had
given Ortiz. who had just come in from

him, some orders regarding the re.
pairing of the corral, to which Ortiz
objected. Words followed, whereupon
Ortiz picked up the Winchester and
shot Jiron, killing him on the spot.

Two boys employed on the ranch were
witnesses to the deed.
A posse headed by Deputy Sheriff
Trujillo, Immediately started in pur-
suit of the murderer,
