Mining Items,
BEN,

Another new and rich strike is report.
ed to have been made in the new shaft
in the Ivanhoe mine. Quite large vein
Of very rich ore was discovered in the
drift cross cut from the bottom of the
shaft.
A party who has just returned from
the May mine on Lightning creek re-
ports new strike in the works at the
mine. The ore is said to be rich in gold,
some of which is free but much Of it in
the form of telluride which assays very
high.
Why don't some enterprsing party
take hold Of the Caledonia mine? 1t is
situated on Lightning creek about eight
miles west from Custer and is one of the
largest bodies Of pay ore in this or any
other country. 1t belongs to Mr.. John
Bueter. He is not able to put the neces.
sary machinery upon it to render it a
producer. There it lays, ard it looks as
if the old man would have to wait until
he is reincarnated before he realizes any
thing out of it. It's shame.
The Mile High shaft is down 100 feet
and drifting has commenced. In its de-
scent the shaft has cut through two ex-
celent veins of ore. AS the shaft is
sunk perpendicular these veins passed
out of the shaft on their regular dip, but
will again be tapped by the drift at a
greater depth. There seems to be reg
ular belt of veins of good ore passing
through this ground, which is a good
feature and adds very much to the value
of the property. They are working nine
men at the mine, with Mr.. Frank Nc
Laughlin in charge.
The sale of the interest held by Mr.. R.
NJ. Maloney in the Blue Lead was ESQ
says our informant) consummated this
week. The deal, which has been under
negotiation for several months, is at last
said to have been closed, and the pur-
chaser, Mr.. Alfred G. Baxter of Lima,
Ohio, has returned to his home. Mr..
Baxter is the general manager of the
Calumet copper mine, which is supposed
to be on the same vein, but located fur
ther north, has smelter already con-
structed, and will during the coming
summer treat the ore from both mines.
General Manager Crabtree and Col. J.
A. George came down from Deadwood
on the Wednesday evening train. They
were on business affecting the interest
of the Gold Fish mine situated about q
miles north from Custer. We under
stand that it is the intention of the COM
pany to put mill on the property in
the near future, which we are glad to
hear. This is something which should
have been done years ago. Itshould be
very profitable move, as the Gold Fish
is known to have yielded some Of the
richest gold ore ever found in Custer
county.

Heavy rains along the northern tribu-
taries of the Missouri river have swelled
that stream until it is now predicted that
there will be repitition of the floods
such as inundated East st. Louis. The
Missouri and Mississippi rivers are both
rising very fast and those living on the
low bottom lands have been warned to
flee to the high land. This will entail
an immense loss to farmers on the broad
bottom of the Mississippi and may be the
cause OF more or less loss Of life.

The dispatches from the seat of war
during the week contained quite SEN
sational piece of news, to the effect that
the Russians had repulsed large force
Japanese and killed 1000 Jap soldiers
while they were trying to cross the Yalu
river. Several days have since elapsed
and the report has not been confirmed
officially by neither side and it is now
considered hoax. From all that can
be gathered from the latest news from
the Orient no battle worthy of the name
has taken place. The Russians are not
ready.

WHY THEY DON'T GO TO
CHURCH.

A local pastor recently asked the
question: Why do not more men
attend church,
The question would perhaps be
more clearly stated if it were put in
this form. Why do fewer men
than women attend church," This
doubtless brings out the real pur-
port Of the inquiry. In giving an
answer to the question even thus
restricted, it is difficult to avoid
speculating on the general question
why there is not more popular in
terest in the cause Of religion and
the churches. But this is not the
point of the present inquiry.
1t may as well be stated at the
outset that only an empirical an
swer can be given. Talk to adoz-
en- people and you will have as
many answers, each giving the re
suit Of his own experience and OBJ
servations.
All sorts of superficial answers
will be given of which the follow
ing are samples:

difference in the neRta! attitude of
the two sexes toward any PROPOSE
ton that is presented.
Now the average preacher,
through deficiency in experience
education or natural insight into
the problems that confront him
seems to lose sight Of these facts
He does not preach a manly gospel;
/. e. a gospel adapted to the mental
attitude and the moral needs OF
men. Assuming to speak as the
oracle of Cod and assuming that
his utterances as such must be ac-
cepted, he overlooks the fact that
many Of his hearers will admit no
such assumptions but will look up
on him as a man speaking to man.
The ordinary man Of common sense
will not accept "ipse dixit' as the
end Of allIdisputation. The preach
er's assertions must be backed up
by argument based upon admitted
or proved facts. Where a woman
might know intuitiyely that the
preacher is right, the man will have
10 be shown. Fine flashes Of lofty
sentiment and eloquent assertion:
of divine truth are coolly met by
the question How do you know

If the preacher will interpret thu
gospel in the light Of modern sclen
Iti6c and historical Investigations, /
Ihe will consider the mental atti
tude and spiritual needsot his NAL
hearers if he will apply the essen
! tial truths Of religion TO modern So
cial conditions in all their complex

vancement of the interests OF hi

A statement signed by few
Cherokee citizens at St. Louis til,
other day TO the effect that rs pei
cent of the people of the Indian
Territory desired two states of In
dian Territory and Oklahoma is
one OF the curious breaks that peo-
pie sometimes make and for which
there IS no excuse. In the first
place the statement lacks the one
great essential of all statements
truth. And further, it did not in
any sense represent the views ex-
pressed by the Democratic conven-
'ion dl DuIdnt, besides, the men

that may come of it however, is

No doubt their is a grain of truth
in all these reasons, and a dozen
more that might be given. When
closely analyzed, however, there will
doubtless be deeper causes found
back Of all of these assigned causes.
Passing over the Unborn wicked
ness in man, of which the old theo-
logians made much and which they
tell US makes him prefer darkness
rather than light; and disregarding
for the present the social features
of church life which are less attrac-
tive to men than to women, it
seems clear that the indifference of
men to religion must be due, in
some degree, to the manner in which
its appeals are presented by the av-
erage preacher. To take any other
view is to reflect either upon the
moral makeup of men or upon the t
merits of the gospel to which they t
show Indifference. t

from Savanilla and Cartagena, reports
that there is great military activity in
both these towns and that large mum.
bers Of troops are being concentrated in
Cartagena. Many of these troops ar.
rived from the interior during the past
fortnight.
A fleet of warships is assembling
here, presumably for the purpose of
making hostile demonstration against
Colombia.
The authorities will insist upon the
withdrawal of the Colombian army
now lined across the border this side
Of the Atrato river. Naval officers feel
certain that it is the intention to com.
pei Colombia either to withdraw her
troops or TO fight.
All the warships are due before

FINDS GAS.
William Mcqueen Strikes Vein Of Mineral Water

William Mcqueen Strikes Vein Of Mineral Watt r
In BallstOn Spa.
William c. Mcqueen, the noted we'll
driller, has struck fine vein of min
eral water while drilling for David
Lewis at his mill on Malta Avenue,
Ballston Spa, at depth of 726 feet.
The water is highly charged with gas,
but owing to the pressure Of fresh
water above, it does not come to the
surface.
Several weeks ago he began drilling
in the hope of locating vein of fresh
water for use in the boilers of the
Lewis mill, but fresh water in suffici-
ent qua ntities was not found and he
continued in the hope Of obtaining car
bonic acid gas, which was located at
a depth of 500 feet in small quantities.
The drilling was continued to the pres
ent depth and the well will be tubed to
keep out the fresh water, when it is ex-
pected the "hole" will develop suffici-
ent gas to pay for the venture.

Many Pipes Frozen.
PUMPING FROM RIVER

Winooski, Jan. 1l:-This village is
in bad way as regards water. The
reservoir is so low that there is no
water in the pipes.
The pumps at the wooden mill have
been put in use and the village is now
being supplied by river water. Speci.
mems of the water have been sent to
the state laboratory for examination
and strict orders have been issued to
have all the water boiled before using.
The Aqueduct company is doing every
thing in its power to alleviate the
situation and has volunteered to con-
meet with the Burlington system as
soon as arrangements could be made
and the necessary pipes laid. The
connections will be made at once and
it is expected that wafer from tie
lake will be supplied to people of the
village today.
If the river water is found TO be in a
sanitary condition by the State labor
atory analysis it will not be necessary
to use the Burlington water.
Many OF the residents are troubled
with their water pipes which they
claim are clogged with sand and re-
fuse from the brook. Many have
been compelled to resort to digging
in order TO locate the trouble.
