Lost Aufu.,anal Tinta.

Persons who get out to gather au- tumn leaves for us to use in decora- tions,''s said florist to reporter of the New York Press, report that in most instances the trees usually depended upon for the best coloring have no au- tumn tints this year. The leaves sim ply wither and drop off the trees with out taking on the autumnal colors. A customer who returned from Yellow stone park the other day told me she had noticed the same thing out there. The leaves just shriveIed up in their faded green and blew off the trees in clouds. The lack of autumnal color in the Adirondacks was at first attributed to the forest fires, but the experience seems to be general throughout tha country, It is the aftermath of a most extraordinary summer.

In discussing indoor sports for men. q writer in Good Housekeeping says: A safe rule to govern one in selecting the kind Of exercise of which he is in need is that the greater the neural ex- penditure as compared to the physical that is demanded in his buginess. the greater should be the physical as com. pared to the nervous expenditure in his recreation and exercise. A man leading an absolutely sedentary life would not derive the best results from a game like billiards or pool where there is little to accelerate the hearts action and induce deeper breathing. Such man would need a game like handball. squash or basketball. which demand great bodily activity and little mental activity, The ideal way would be for him to attend a gymnasium where classes are conducted with, recreative games especially for busf- ness men. Two or three hours week spent under trained and careful super vision would work wonders in attain ing the desired result Gymnasfums are not conducted as they were few years ago. when men freqnented such places mainly to develop large muscles. But we realize that many men have not the opportunity to attend these classes. The numerous systems Of physical training which are advertised have some points in their favor. These systens. however, sometimes lose sight of the two most important require ments to make their work practical and lasting. Exercise should strength en the heart. which is the fountain head of health, and the recreation or play clement is highly important. Fun, recreation, play. social intercourse or whatever you call 1t, combined with the physical exercise, is what every nor nal man needs and wants. To join with a member of the family or some good friend in game where the com petitdve clement will brighten the in terest will do wonders in attaining the best results.

1.-The president insists congress shall give Cuba a measure of reciprocity" writes the Washington correspondent of Golfers Congress will do as he says. The situation exists merely be cause MT Roosevelt is determined to carry out the pledge given by MT Nc Kinley. Public interest has palled. The senators and representatives who led the insurgent resistance with such uncompronnising vigor are tired and willing to let bygones be byeones. Some of the men from the northwest are determined to keep up the fight for the sugar beet, but they hardly know why, and it is not likely that they win do more than make a protest to estab- fish their regularity on the matters They will find when they come to con gress that they will have little of the support that enabled them to defeat Mir Roosevelt in 1902. Candidly, their position like that of most of congress, either in the majority or in the minor fty, is an unwillfngness to do any thing to oppose the set wish of the president. Men in tne great legfsla- tive branches of the government ap- precfate more than anybody else just how powerful president is. He can do things. The Individuals in con gress want things done. Therefore. why fight longer on harmless propo. sition like reciprocity for Cuba a'

Prof. Totten Says That is Ample for
 the Majority
 Professor c. A. L. Totten gave as one of the ways of "How to Keep Out of the Poor House" the topic of his address before the chamber of com merce last night, that eating but5one meal day. The Professor said that he had averaged not more than that for number of years.
 The topic was treated largely in humorous manner by the speaker, but he concluded by stating that the American people eat vastly more than they need and that they are prone te give way to n1e eating habit more than to actual hunger or need. Continuing, he said:
 .sTNhe affairs of this world move in cycles, and these cycles no chamber of commerce can control. AS this cycle moves round hope it will break the unions and also the bad trusts, but that it will leave the good trusts. There ought not to be any poor house, yet we have too many of them. In this country man during three score years earns. sees. spends and wastes more than the original Adam did in his whole life of 900 years.
 "Tshe question of how to keep out of the poor house is poser, and it is also an amending one. Live within your iTl- come and you will keep out of the poor house, for you will have some thing put aside regularly for the rainy day that is sure to come. z It is what one saves that becomes his salvation.
 'sIf you want anything done do it yourself. and a good business princi- pie is to add 20 per cent to your esti- mate so as to be safe Keep your own counsel, limit yourself and do not hesi- tate to go vour limit. Once in awhile take a vacation. and vacate while you are vacating Circulation is also one of the best solutions of this question. I have an idea that one Of the most beneficial exchanges would be debt exchange on similar lines to the credit exchange. Debts are as cancellable as credits. and one of the best ways to keep out of the poor house is to circu- late"
 The harbor committee of the Cham ber of comm cree reported the work of dredging Mill river below the bridge was nearly finished and the dredging above the bridge was well under way. rapidly nearing completion. The Quin- nipiac dredging was progressing more slowly. owing to the hard substance composing the bottom. The committee stated that the channel should be dredged to a dept of 20 feet below the Ferry street bridge Above Ferry St. bridge the plans of Major Leets. who in his report to congress in 1897 se- cured the appropriation under which the present dred ging in being done. are not being followed The original plan was for channel 12 feet deep and 200 feet wide. Owing to the dwindIing of the appropriation the channel above the bridge is now 75 feet wide and is widened farther only at docks. The committee reported that Mill river should be widened in the channel to 125 feet or 15O feet, if new appropri- ation can be secured. They cited the difficulty in barges passing each other as one of the inconvenience of the present channel.

Peter AIavardo Dead.


Chihuahua, Mexico, Aug. 19.-Peter
Alavardo, a multi-millionaire mining
man. is dead at Parral. IL is said that
six years ago he was a barefooted
peon working in a mine at 30 cents
a day. He discovered the Pal Milto
mine. and his wealth is nov estimat-
ed at $4,000, 900. He had no faith
in banks, and ii said that silver bars
worth a great sum are locked in a
steel cage in his palatial home near
Parral. constantly guarded by a very
strong force of men.
A year ago he made his first trip
over a railroad. chartering a special
train from this city and bringing with
him a body guard of 200 men. He
was very charitable. disbursing his
wealth freely among the poor.
The last semi-monthly cleanup of
the Barnes-King mine, made last
week. was eight gold bricks valued at
SIS, 705.44. The Barnes-King is about
one of the best dividend paying prop.
ositions in the country and every in
dication points to its remaining so for
years to come.
r. Z. Townsend, a mining expert
of Denver. Colo, who. with f. II. Haz.
ard, of Catskill. n. Y, is getting hold
of some good properties in the Judith
mountains. thinks most highly of the
mineral future of Fergus county. He
came In for a visit of two weeks, but

here for three months. He says that,
in his opinion. the mountains of Fer

The Gospel Of Discomfort.

Mr.. Bryan in his Commoner is still
trying to persuade his countrymen
that the Republican party has wan
dered away from the teachings of Mr..
Lincoln, that mighty wrongs are be-.
ing perpetrated in the main Philip
pines and that the administration is
to blame for slavery in the Sulu Is
lands. Mr.. Lincoln was pleading for
q race that has been kept long in
bonda.., pleading that they be given
freedom and the right TO arm their
own bread. Mr.. Bryan is pleading
for a tribe of assassins that, could
they have their way, would III their
native land with the dead Of the 9th.
or more than thirty tribes amid
which they dwell. All the time. too,
there is no restraint upon those
throat-cuttcrs except that they shall
stop their murders. Their property
Is u%ndisturbrd, they are free to do
any legitimate thing. They are under
no more restraint than is Mr.. Bryan
himself.
As 10 the Sulus they are as much
sayages as were Sitting Bull and Red
Cloud. The slavery there is immcm-
orlal, and II could be done away with
by purchase for some $4,000, But
Mr.. Bryan does not want that much
paid. It would take away one Of his
campaign cries. Some friend shout !

critics has been tapped for more than
a mile and in every place il is a typ-
zeal ore for treatment by cyanidatiou.
Another p~rospector who is working
hard toward the development of the
Cone Butte country is John Beam.
Jack" Beam is well known to most
of the old-timers OF the county, and
has been identified with the mining
interests here for many years. He
has several prospects on Belya gulch
on the east side of the range and Is
hopeful that he will eventually show
up a mine. G. J.. Wiedeman and
Frank S. Fuller are iterested with
Mr.. Beam.
Charles G. Edwards has almost COM
pleted a tunnel to tap the vein on the
Fort group on east Maginnis creek.
His tunnel is In the hill go feet and
the changes In the formation denote
that the vein is not far distant. From
Collar gulch on the south TO the north
ernmost point in the Cone Butte dis.
trict men are at work. A small force
has recently begun the development
of some properties in Collar gulch
for Townsend and Hazard; the Chica.
go mine is working right along. and
in nearly every gulch in the district
a ~prospector's camp is located.
The outlook at the Surprise group
of the Judith Mining company IS
more encouraging than at any time
since the Judith company has had
control of the properties. The heavy
lime reefs dominating the surface of
the Surprise hill have proven an an
noying puzzle TO the different foremen
in charge of the work there at var.
ious times, and the location of the ore
deposits has been most difficult TO
determine, High grade cyanide ore
has been shown on the surface IN
numerous places but until the past
two weeks the main body of the ore
has not been located. When the Ar,
gus visited the Surprise last week the
main ore body had just been reached
and Mr.. W. L. Wilson, who Is super.
intending the work. stated that he felt
the utmost confidence that the prob,
len of the location of the big ore de,
posits that are believed to exist in
the hill had been solved. Six men
are engaged in the development work,
but the force will be increased al
once.

New Ore Reduction System.

Weiser, Ida, Aug. 2O.-The Rankin
system of ore reduction, of which so
much has been written, and which
has attracted the attention of min
ing men all over the world. has been
proved an unqualified success. The
Rankin company have just completed
a plant in the Rapid river district in
this county. and a test was made on
Monday evening. The process is a
combination of nitric acid and cleo
tricity, more than 500 pounds of nitric
acid was made in an hour and a quar-
ter; and a quantity of ore was reduc-
ed from the raw material to bullion
in 40 minutes. The most obstinate
ores a be reduced at a cost of from
81 to $3.50 per ton. This process will
reduce any and all kinds of ores. It
will revolutionize the cost of mining
low grade ores.

Notes of the Gold Reef.

The Argus representative was In

err are now in operation and the clean
ND from the Gold Reef this month
will be the largest in the history Of
the property. The rooster is working
perfectly and in Walter Gleason IS
managed by one Of the most compe-
tent men in the west. One hundred
and fifty tons of the black ore are be-
ing treated daily and Superintendent
Mccormick told the Argus that their
highest expectations had been fulfill
ed in the successful operation of the
new roasting plant. The rooster Is
about sixty feet in length and the in
terror, over like in shape, Is heated
from six large fire boxes, three on
each side and consuming twenty tons
of coal per day. The ore, as it pass
es slowly through the fire. Is subject
ed to 1000 degrees Of heat and, when
elevated by carriers and dumped
through a huge hood on to the cooler
every bit of the sulphur has been
eliminated and the roasted product
strongly resembles the natural oxid-
lied ore. At the present time the OK
idized and sulphide ores are crush
ed in the same crusher. The capacity
of the rooster can be considerably in
creased by installing a crusher, which
