"It is surprising how much work is in pro- gress," said Mir.

Substantial progress is being made in the construction of the French & Brogan ditch. Already it is completed as far as No. above, and it will be big thing for that section. The Midnight Sun Ditch $ Mining Go. are moving their supplies and material up the river and they will soon be ac- lively engaged at work. There is an excellent future for the Solomon dis tries. Economical working of claims is necessity and this will, in part at least, be accelerated by the ditches now under course of construction."- Nome Nugget.

They call Sentinel ed more pretty names than he is en- titled to in trying to prove that Judge Brown has no interest in the real pretty little boys paper; but being ''curly haired" pretty little boys they wouldn't deny it; in fact they admitted it.

mission on earth, they must have
a large circulation, and to get
this are willing to expend for

No more striking example of
this aggressive modern journal

campaign now being magea by
the Minneapolis Tribune. This
paper, which already had a cir
eulation of $4,000, has set out to
get 100, 900 circulation by Decem=
Der 31st of this year, and If pres
ent indications foretell anything,
they will undoubtedly get it.
As a means to an end, they are
conducting a great popular vot-
ing contest, the expense of which
will amount to at least $25, 900.

all will go to the worlds fair at

Salt In Butter.

Uniformly high and we'll dissolved

Ing quality is also improved by the use
OF good salt. To get the salt in such
condition in the butter and get uni
formly high content in it (211 to 8 per
cent from day to day is something not
easily done. The amount Of salt in
the finished product depends, first, up
on the amount Of moisture in the but

ond, upon the amount Of salt used per
pound Of butter or per pound Of fat:
third, upon the amount Of working the
butter receives and at what time the

size of granules at the time the salt Id
added and the hardness and softness Of

cred Disabled.

Washington, March 18.-The most
notable ruling in behalf of the Union
soldiers of the Civil war which the
pension bureau has made in a great
many years was promulgated during
the day by authority of the commits
sioner of pensions and approved by
the secretary of the interior The rul-
ing practically accomplishes, in part,
what was sought to be accomplished
by the proposed service pension bills
now pending in congress.
The effect of the ruling is to declare
old age disability within the mean
ing of the act of June 81, 1890, and to
rate the pension according to the age
of the applicant. 1t directs that, be-
ginning April 10 next, if there is no
contrary evidence and all other legal
requirements have been met, claim
ants for pension under the general act
of June q, 1890, who are over sixty
two years old, shall be considered as
disabled one-half in ability to perform
manual labor and shall be entitled to
Sc month; over sixty-five years, to
IS; over sixty-eight years, to SO, and
over seventy to $12, the usual allow
ances at higher rates continuing for
disabilities other than age.
