Il believe overcapitalization and the

MINES WILL RESUME.
Five Thousand MeS Wl,f Find Re
Employment IN Butte and An.
aconda

Butte. July 27-The nine Amalga-
mated Copper company mines that
were closed down July l will be run
ming full blast again by August Goth,
unless something happens between
now and that date to cause a further
delay. This is official and can be de-
pended upon. The mines are. the
Mountain Consolidated. High Ore, An
aconda, st. Lawrence. Bell. Parrot,
Moonlight, Never Sweat and Diamond.
At the time Of the shutting down the
officials of the company announced
that the duration of the suspension
would be from four to six weeks. The
limit OF mis- period will expire Aug
ust 14th, at which time the prelimi.
nary steps toward a resumption will
be taken. It will require few days
time In which to get the smelter In
Anaconda warmed up to a productive
heat, but by the goth the plant and
the mines will be in active operation
with their full number Of men. Since
the company ceased raising ore to the
surface development work in several
of the mines has been In progress.
ana Wnen tne OTutT 10 RESUME uOibt-
ing is given the workings OF the prop
critics will be in shape to meet the
demands for ore for a long time to
come. At the Anaconda. one OF the
many great producers of the company,
the shaft is being sunk below the g..
900 foot level station. When this
work is complete there will be 100 or
200 feet of new stopping ground from
which an unlimited quantity Of ore
can be extracted without the neces-
sity of making new openings In the
near future.
The st. Lawrence, another OF the
great mines OF the corporation, is
ready for business, the large shaft OF
the hosting engine, which separated
itself into two pieces a few days be-
fore the other mines closed down,
having been replaced with a new
one.
The Outlook for a long run Of both
the mines and large smelter OF the
company is quite bright.

BALL BOYS GIVE DANCE.
Kendall Team Realizes Neat Sum for
Base Ball Equipment.


The dance given by the Kendall
base ball boys last Thursday night
was a pronounced success socially as
well as in financial way. The dance
hall was comfortably well filled, al,
though many who purchased tickets
did not attend. Billiards. three-piece
orchestra played charming music and
many of the selections were encored
by the jolly dancers, who never seem
ed to tire of the captivating strains.
George Barley, the Washington
prompter, was especially acceptable,
and many were the favorable com.
ments passed upon his ability to guide
the participants through the intricate
figures of the quadrilles and lancers.
Lemonade was served free, and 1t
is hardly necessary to state that this
liberality on the part of the base ball
boys was fully appreciated by their
guests. About $50 was netted to the
ball team, and this sum will go to-
wards buying equipment.
The most convincing approval OF
the base ball boys as entertainers Is
evidenced by the fact that they have
been requested to give another ball
in the near future.-Kendall Chroni'

DIR. Daniel Elmer Salmon. chief of the
bureau of animal industry of the agri-

office since 1884, and has been in that
department of the government since
1879.
L. 5. Elmer, assistant chief clerk of
the post Office department, is known
as an authority on postal laws and reg
ulations both of this country and of
foreign countries. He compiled the
postal manual, which enables clerks
and business men to learn quickly the
rates of postage on all articles 1t is
in concise form and gives briefly the
salient points of the postal laws. Mr..
Elmer has been in the service about 20
years.

thinking that Mr.. Mclaughlin was too

effect as this medicine you prescribe ?''
asked the old gentleman and on reeeiv-

GOOD WILL.
Christmas "a Type Of what Every 9th
err Day I'm the Whole Year
should he.


Good will, good will TO men," 1t is
only another name for the Christ, the
God with us" Just so far as we have
1t, and no farther, do we abide in Him
and He in US. The heart that is too
small to take in its suffering fellow
creatures is too small for Manager or
cradle for an infant Christ
Good Will to men," in SO far as we
are concerned means our uttermost
TO make new comfort in the lives of
those who yet lack something that
loving kindness could bestow
Christ came to bring good will to
men. The matter was of such joyful
import in Heaven that the faces of
the angels of God shone out through
the midnight, and their songs reached
mortal ears.
Is that good will passing from His
heart to yours to bless the world? If
not, could there be better time to
open your hearts that His blessings
may flow through them to needy souls
and bodies? Now is the time, when
his name is on every lip, His praise
echoed in every song
union. It is a good time for children
to come home, to bring the gifts that
they have prepared, to receive from
the fest what they too have brought.
Wouldn't ii be a wonderful Christ
mas f we could only all get together
with time to open for each others
gaze the treasures of the last dozen
years? What heart histories we
should hear! What stories of success
would make us glad! What tales of
defeat and failure would saddeni
What joys some of us could bring, and
through what depths of anguish many
of us have passed!
If one of the best things of Christ
mas is the love that longs to give, we
need make no limit to the holy Christ
mas day. 1t can go on, and on so long
as the love keeps tender and fresh and
strong. We can make the daily life
constant everyday giving by put
ting the love and good will into every
act.
This is what He did whose life be-
gan in the manger. The great and
glorious giving of the death on Cal
vary was but a elimination of a Civ
ing of Himself and His love all
through His earlier years.
For us there may be waiting no
such test as shows the love that "lays
down life for a FRIEND" but the cease
less, gracious giving of unstinted love
is ours for Christmas day and all days,
and most of all just for to-day
