THE BRISTOL.

The hustle that was started early IN
the year is being maintained at this
property and every effort of the man
agement Is being strained to get out
the allotted tonnage 225, 900 tons. II
is a big task to haul that much ore
through dne shaft with two ton sklps
but if there is no draw back from
this until the end Of the season
the Britsol will reach the mark.
There was great deal of difficulty
met eSSly in the early part of the year
because of scarcity of labor but with
the shutting down of the Columbia
and the erection of the six new houses
the company found less difficulty IN
that respect. They can use quite
few more miners yet though.

getting cars is the worst ever ex
perienced in the Crystal Falls district
Both roads are troubled in furnishing

WILL MAKE NO CHANGE

President.F. Il. House, OF the Iron
Range railroad, and President I. f.
Cole, of the Minnesota and Oliver
Mining companies, returned from New
York yesterday, after attending the
meeting. of the Steel corporation that
witnessed the retirement OF Charles
Schwab.
Mr.. House, at his Office this noon,
refused 10 discuss matters of interest
connected with the meeting. but did
say that the change in the head of the
institution from Schwabto Corey will
have no effect whatever on the policy
or administration of business affair.
When asked If there was any action
or consideration of some action which
might end to overcome the sag in
prices OF Steel corporation sock. he
said that was matter he could not
discuss
IL is quite probable that this feature
was taken up at the meeting however,
aud whether any remedy for the de-
cline will be created is question Of
the developments OF time.

Accounts of early writers show that
squirrels must formerly have been
amazingly numerous. Goldman says
that the gray coat was fearful
scourge to colonial farmers and that
Pennsylvania paid $4,000 in bounties
for their scalps in l749 alone. This
meant the destruction OF 100000 within
early days of western settlement reg
ular hunts were organized by the in
habltants, who would range the woods
in two companies from morning till
night, vying as TO which band should
bring home the greatest number of trc-
phies. The quantities thus killed are
almost incredible now.

CRYSTAL FALLS ORE DEPOSITS

A frequent expression heard among
mining men in discussing the Crystal
Falls district is, ''All the deposits cut
out at about 800 feet. There is
absolutely no foundation for any such
statement. 1t is true that the lenses
do play out with depth but it is also
true that when there is located in at
true formation search proves up an
other lense at a greater depth. The
trouble is that explorations are not
carried on at the greater depth, the
operators generally being in hurry to
throw mp the lease and let some other
party hunt for the hidden treasure.
1t is this treatment Of our iron mines
that has given the district a black eye.
Take the deposits that have cut ont
and let us see what the conditions
have been. The Delphic and Mastodon
deposits cut out slick and clean extend

That property is an exception and is
the only abandoned property that has
been explored. But what are the
conditions at the Mastodon. 1t is To-
Gated in the black states. There is no
ture formation. There is no surround
ing conditions that would tend TO show
that ore existed there. Nothing but

DRUNK AND DOWN,
FlFIl-TNO ARRESTS HN' THE
POLICE.
The Record Of the Night Before Christ
maS-A Very Good Showing for
City Like Shreveport

1t was reported the day after Christ
mas that there were tifty-two arrests
by the police, being the record Of the
night before Christmas dawn. This re-
port was significant on account Of its
sensational gearing in glaring headlines.
At a glance the report of flfty-two ar
rests in one night would take away the
breath of an ordinary man, but a mo-
ments reflection will develop the alb
surdlty of such report. In the first
place it may be said that the reports Of
DRINKS and downs are not heralded in
two ard thrce-decker headlines in news
papers thriving i'll big cities. and in the
second place the arrests by the police
of flfty-two unfortunates is no discredit
to Shreveport whose population is over
5000. and 81 means that only ? in every
1000 were guilty of conduct which led
to their arrest by the police and Of these
tifty-twn no gentleman figured III the
AiS'' II - dlA' u tN tlldL III S'iiN IcNhI1-
ties there was considerable revelrv. but
This style of entertainment is a common
program and prevails in every town and
city in the universe.
Measured by the record of the past it
may be said that Shreveport experienced
an ideal Christmas. We do not wish to
intimate that only the common herd of
humanity were the transgressors. but we
insist that few of the self-respecting
were disorder1y, drunk and down to the
extent of being arrested by the police.
The fact is that while an enormous
quantity of wlliskey is drunk. including
beer and wines. still there is a marked
tendency towards temperance. There
was time when am gentleman could
get billing" drunk and raised shoel on
the streets and he did not lose caste.
bit now no gentleman would be seen in
steh a plight and his friends will has
ten him from public view. While men
will drink. they will also not go beyond
the bounds. It Is no longer considered
gentien1anly to get drunk and raise Cain.
Such advertisement is left to the class of
whom the ffty-two are fair specimens.

that he has received by letter from

conduct on Christmas eve and Christ

commentator may be added the en-
