One Of the causes Of failure il min
ing operations i the mistaken idea
that high grade ore, mixed with lOE
grade rock, win increase the value q
the latter, and it Is a vel known fact
that The endearor to market and mill
ore Of such low grade that il VIII not
pay C handle 10 any form, IS the
direct cause 81 many failures Of min
ing companies and Of mining oper-
ators. BY what logic or any line Of
reasoning one can arrive at the on
elusion that the value OF loE grade
ore is enriched By the addition Of ore
Of a much better class, We fail to see
or comprehend; for, IL sn ore is Of
too low a grade to pay a profit after
standing the expenses Of marketing
or milling, IL certainly viii not pay

the first place, o. practically SO, the
only effect OF such a course viii be to
pull down the average value Of the
good ore and TO add to the expense
of the mine owner 10 the handling or
treatment Of what, to all ~intents and
purposes, is so much barren rock, is
50 much waste. And we have known
Of instances, and they are quite com
mon, when the mine owner, the mill
man, has shipped ore that would not
pay to ship, and who has treated ore
that would not pay to mill, mixing
the same with r Of good pay values,
under the delusiOn that such a
course was bringing him profitable
returns, and that such a procedure
was certain To transform bis worth
less ore into a paying product. Such
action may increase the tonnage, but
the expenses are increased as well,
and the loss must be apparent to
anyone who win give the subject any
thought or study. In reality, it is
like putting c%ounterfeits with genuine
bills, and then trying to imagine tina
the whole pile has an intrinsic worth
equal to the face value Of all Of th,
bills. The bank cashier will expos,
the fallacy, however, in the one in
stance, and the returns from orr
shipments the other. II any elias.

Some seasonabIe Advice.

1t may be a piece Of superhuous
advice to urge people at this season
of the year to lay in a supply OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is
almost sure to be needed before win
ter is over, and much more prompt
and satisfactory results are obtained
when taken as soon as a cold is con-
tracted and before it has become
settled in the system, which a only
be done by keeping the remedy at
hand. This remeday is so widely
known and so altogether good that
no one should hesitate about buying
1t in preference to any other. 1t is
for sale by all druggists.

Eight miles south of Crowley, at
20 O'Clock Sunday morning Despanet
Plaisance, one Of the best known
farmers in the neighborhood OF
Crooked Bridge, Instantly killed An
asia Istre, using g large wood AK as
a weapon.
Plaisanoe was brought to Crowley
by Deputy Sheriff He, pin Of Vermil-
ion and turned over to the local au-
thorities. The killing is said by per-
sons from that district TO have been
result of ill-feeling that has existed
I between the two men for a number
of years.
That morning about 8 O'Clock
Istre wen, to the Plaisance farm and
found the husband at home. He
said he came to buy some live stock.
Plaisance told him that he had none
for sale. This made Istre very angry,
and hot words followed.
Mrs, Plaisance, who was present,
told her husband that 1t was best not
to quarrel over the matter, and to go
into the yard and cat her some wood
He was followed into the yard by
Istre, and the next that witnesses can
testify to is that Istre was found
stretched full length on the ground,
l1,l FoIy ,pnn,nnfs ffnruOrd
with his head split wide open.
Plaisance when seen st the Jail did
not deny that he was guilty. He
said that after going into the yard he
saw that he was followed by Istre,
who exclaimed:
"Pla;sance, it is time for US to set
tie our troubles to-day" and that as
he spoke he ran his hand into his
pocket as if in the act Of drawing a
weapon.
Plaisance said that when he saw
Istre approaching him in a menanc-
ing manner, he swung his ak around
and struck him. He did not know
whether lie killed the man OR not, but
was sure that Istre dropped.
Plaisance stated that Istre had
been causing him trouble with his
family for more than two years.
Persons who were near the scene
of killing state that Istre was killed
in a most horrible manner; that his
head was split wide open and death
was instantaneous.
Both men are well known in the
southern end of Acadia parish.
Plaisanee is forty, 70 years Of age
and mas a wife and two children. He
owns quite a large farm near the
Vermilion parish line and has a wide
acquaintance among the Creole set
tiers.

THE EIGHT HOUR BILL.

The House Commute on labor
held a very interesting hearing last
week on the proposed s hour law.
Mr.. Davenport made the ciearest
statement of the dangers attending
the operation of an eight hour biz
that has ever been given to the Com
mittee on Labor, treating the sub
ject "from a philosophical and prac-
ticable standpoint" He quoted GER
tain soclalistic resolutions which had
been adopted in substance by a large
number of labor organizations, and
which tended to incite collisions be-
tween capital and labor. The reso-
lu4ions called upon the laboring men
to use their political influence to
protect their interest between their
employers.
Many, if not all, of the labor lead
ers are avowed socialists, he declared,
using the labor organizations 20 adj
vance the cause of socialism. They
teach the widespread disregard of
of the rights of others to the protec-
tion of society and the regard of the
law, and inst1ll hostilities against
capital in the minds of labor. They
demand discriminating legislation,
and in times of strikes demand the
discharge of mer who stand by their
employers and the reinstatement Of
others dismissed because they OPP
posed their employers. They bring
the courts into disrepute, he said,
and attack them publicly and in
their journals. The recovery of the
right to employ and be employed
without restriction he considered the
most important question ever present.
