The Sailors Christmas At Sea.

and in reply l would say there is no
class Of our citizens whose lives segar
ate them more from the pleasures
of this blessed season 10 ouc homes
than the noble and loyal American
sailors. The day never passes with
them, wherever they may be. without
precious memories Of those at home
gathered around the Christmas festiv-
tiles. / have seen many silent tear
steal down the bronzed cheek of noble
sailors 10 exile on public duty when
someone at home had remembered this
day in his hard life. And / have heard
many God bless" the dear ones at
home as the sun rose upon those whose
tables bore the best dishes that the
cook'singenuity could compound from
the ration provided.
1t is not easy TO feel satisfied with
little on that day when all the world
rejoices in much, but the sailor, by
hard years of discipline has learned to
fast when there is little and to feast
only when there is plenty.
May the feast of Christmas this year
be more enjoyed by him and by Us as

out the world. This is the best Christ

There we're once two dogs who had
the coon hunting blood in their veins,
but one of the dogs was full Of energy
apd the other was prone to sleep and
dream. And the erergetic dog went
out into the woods in the watches OF
the night and within an hour had a
fat coon up a beech tree. The noise
of his bark attracted his master, who
went out and with the help Of the dog
put the fxings to that coon. A little
while after the owner of the dog came
out and gave the industrious one a
part of the carcass of the coon he had
caught for bis breakfast, but did pot
offer the INDECENT dog bite. "Divide
with me-" pleaded the indolent dog,
II am hungry" "Well, II you are
hungry" said the Industrious dog as
be filled himself with coon steak,
"why don't you eat that coon you
caught 10 your dream?"
Moral: If you expect TO get anything
10 this world you will have to go after
it and not Simply dream that you have
it cinched.

An Object Lesson.

A cheerful news item is current to
the effect that Cheney Bros, the
South Manchester, Conn. silk man
ufacturers, have hardly finished their
new velvet mills and the stone dam
and power plant of the Hockanum
River, and have barely started work
on a new $500. 900 high school, yet
they are planning a 500, 900 reser-
voir to supply water for the village.
The new reservoir will be double
the capacity of the old one. The
expenditure of the Cheneys for eK-
pansion and improvements during
the past two years will reach the
million column. Among the prize
winning products of the American
policy the silk industry is pre- emf
nent. 1t builds whole villagesp TO
vides SIoo, 900 high schools, con
structs SIoo, 600 water supply reser-
volrs for public use, and in two
years employs in expansion and i'm
provement a million dollars in labor
and material. Aud yet there are
people who say that this sort of
thing is a crime, a robbery, a tax of
the many for the benefit of the few,
an unconstitutional invasion of the
rights of the people to buy in the
cheapest and sell in the dearest mar
ket. With South Manchester and

Fables by Tom McNeal.

There was Kansas man who resid'
ed at Coyotevllle, who concluded that
he was a warm number as politician.
He took the poll of his precinct and
after the campaign he received cir
cular letter from the state centra'
committee thanking him for the "effi-
cient work" he had performed during
the campaign. He carried this letter
until it was badly worn and frequently
showed 1T to his acquaintance to let
them know in what esteem he was held
by the party leaders. He did not get
onto the fact that the letter was PRINT
ed and Just like Two or three Thousand
other letters sent out after the CAM
paign was over by the state central
committee. When the legislature
was about to convene the man from
Coyoteville came up to Topeka and
stood around the lobby and announc-
ed to several parties that some of the
fellows wanted him to come up and
take one of the positions in either the
senate or the house, and that he had
concluded that he would sort of like
to watch the doings of the legislature
during the winter; Of course he didn't
care anything particular about the
matter himself, but that a good many
of the leaders thought it would be a
good thing to have him here from a
party standpoint. For something
like two weeks he fed at one of the
restaurants and then went up ano
breathed himself full of smoke at the
Copeland and looked as If he knew
lot more than he was willing to tel
and when he was asked how things
we're coming he said that 1t was al
right so far as he was concerned anC
he said it In tone of voice that in
dictated that he had 0inch. Finally
a committee was appointed by thf
push to select the employees from chiel
clerk to the last page and when the
list appeared the name of the mar
from Coyoteyllle was not among the
chosen. At first he thought there
must be some mistake and went to see
the committee about it. An houl
after he saw the committee he was
seen carrying his grip to the depot tt
take the train for CoyOteville. AS ht
was standing on the platform waiting
for the train he talked with a chance
acquaintance and told him In conf
dence that be didn't care personally
but the way things were being rur
would bust the party wide open al
the next election.

self too seriously.

sacks, where they banned it out. The total number of pans Of dirt washed was over 200. and in no instance did they get less than two cents to the pan. allowing 100 pans to the cubic yard, which is a fair allowance, it is seen that Mir. Miler's examination gives a valuation of $2 per cubic yard. which is an extremely favorable showing. and is far ahead of any placer ground now being worked in California.
 Another statement of Mir. Miller shows that the ground has not yet been dug over two feet deep. and in no hole has bedrock been reached. At depth of about two feet a hard gravel was reached, when further digging was discontinued. This gravel is not cement, but can be easily broken up in ones hand. The bed rock lies under this gravel, but at what depth, Of course, is not known.
 All people who have had any expert ence whatever in placer mining know
 that the richer values in placer
 ground lie on the bedrock. Until the | bedrock is reached DO correct esti-
 mate of the real value of this ground
 can be reached, but judging from sur. face indications it will prove to be as rich as anything ever found in Cali, fornia or Alaska.-Douglas Interna t.onal.

On Saturday. the 10th. inst, Robert c. Miller left Douglas for the purpose of examining the property of the Sonora River Placer Mining company. Mir.

 MT. Miller returned last Saturday evening. h conversation with him an International reporter learned that he spent four days on the ground prospecting, washing dirt and made a thorough test. He had an assist ant and a horse, and they took dirt from excavations from all over the porper7y, carrying it to the river in

THE GOLD TREASURE
 MINES COMPANY

We are pleased to note the pro- gress and fattering prospects Of this property in the San Jose mountains, in Sonora about eight miles from Nsco. While we would rather the big property was over in Uncle Sam s lap. the combination of capital and tbe able management, which includes several Mexican gentlemen of ability in the mining field, insures for the Gold Treasure measure of sue cess commensurate with the natural resources of the property. which would appear 10 be boundless. There is a touch of the romantic about this camp. where the old Spanish miner drilled with a bar and broke the ground with lime. centuries ago. then arose and left without firing his last hatch of holes, presumably anihiiated bv the treacherous band of the dread Apache. Now that the district is rehabilitated by modern means and energy the old romantic glamour clings to 1t in a manner that cannot detract from iss commercial import ance. while constituting an indefin- able attraction on the side.
 The Gold Treasure is proceeding strictly along legitimate and consery- ative lines, thus demonsuating the
