THE MINES.

The mines are fairly booming
this week. New strikes are being
made, and the output 10 growing.
At the Dark Horse a battery of b
hand jigs is cleaning ore that will
easily run 70 per cent. The crusher
and rolls are kept mighty busy by
four men in the ground. Mr.. David.
con, the superintendent, and part
owner of the mine, says the output
will be car of zinc a week and con-
siderable lead from now on. The
Dark Horse reminds us of the Anna
Rooney, which was one of the best
mines Galena ever had. In the Dark
Horse only IA feet of the ore face 10
being worked on, but there lie IA feet
more to be stopped later.
The Sunny Side has car of ore in
the bins az we 60 to press. Shaft
No. 2 will be connected with No. ] as
fast as drill steel, men and powder
can do the work. A tranway was
built between the two shafts this
week.
The Sunburst shaft of Wyatt &
Co. is getting into good lead and
will soon be a regular producer.
Post & Co. have just began taking
OLA ore, and will soon appear regu-
larry in the tabulated report.
Ford & Troupe will make car of
jack and $1,000 of lead this week.
This mine is earning it's owners
good dividends, and the output is
steadily growing as the ground Is
opened up.
The McRuer shaft is full of rich
ore. This ehaft and the Ford &
Troupe are being cut together.
Tom Goodwin has his shaft with.
in a couple of feet of the ore body,
but as the ore body is "a feet thick
il will be about three weeks before
it is penetrated.
Kent & Co., in the Mission pas.
ture, are into their ore, and it is as
good as the drill indicated.
Haines & Co. are beginning to get
some ore in their shaft on the
Gaines * Thomas lease of the Coo
sotte land.
Just northwest of the school
house, and across the street from
Ed. Covey's residence, Geo. Wurts
has made a pretty good strike Of
lead at a depth of about 20 feet. 1t
begins to look as If the entire
Spring branch will be torn up.

The story is going the rounds
about a Leavenworth man who went
home the other morning about 2
O'Clock. In his arms he carried two

berries under the bed, tiptoed out
to the kitchen where he guardedly
chucked the shoes into the ice box.

At the Table.

The years have sped since first ! led
You to the table, dear,
And you sat over there alone
And sat smiling here.
A year or two few past and you
No longer sat alone.
A little one was in your arms.
Your darling and my own.
And then another year or so.
And some one else was there:
And Willie sat near me. you know.
While Trottie claimed your care.
The years have sped since first I led
You to the table. dear.
And you looked queenly at the foot
And I felt Kingly here.
Today. a. I look down at you,
On either side ! see
A row Of hungry little ones
AL gazing mp at me.
We've added leaves. one after one.
And you are far away
Aye, thrice IS far. my dear. as on
That happy. happy day.
But though We sit so far apart
You there and / up here
Two rows of hearts from my fond heart
Stretch down to you. my dear.
Thank God for every extra leaf
The table holds today.
And may we never know the grief
Of putting one away.

Bio SOCIALIST CONVENTION.

The Socialist county convention
which met in the opera house Sat
urday was a stronger gathering
than was anticipated says the Col
umbus Advocate. There were
about hundred delegates, repres'
enting nearly every part of the
county. There was no dissension
as predicted, and the organization
evidently means to poll big vote
this fall.
John w. Lennon of West Mineral
was elected chairman and ]. P. Ma.
lone Of Galena secretary.
While the resolution committee
was out ringing speech was made
by Mrs. S. c. Scoville of Galena, q
woman of remarkably fine presence
and a good public speaker. She
pleased her hearers.
S. d. Scott was chairman of the
committee on resolutions and W. s.
Morgan of Lowell wac secretary.
Both of thes men are good lockers
and made a very favorable impress
sion on the delegates. The resolu.
tions drew the line very sharply
between the poor and the rich, and
strongly denounced the aggres.
sions of the capitalistic class. The
resolutions were adopted without
dissent.
The meeting strongly denounced
fusion of political parties and de-
clared for its own principles and
for the identity of the Socialist
party.
Nomination for the various coun-
ty offices followed, and ticket was
made up in very orderly manner
except for county attorney. Sam
Smith of Baxter was nominated for
county attorney and in speech
declining very cleverly tried to
work in an argument for the pres.
ent nominee on the Democratic
ticket, but failed, as several Social
lists said they wanted candidate
for that office even if they had to
name a man who was not lawyer.
Considerable suspicion was ex.
pressed as to Mr.. Smiths motive,
but finally it was agreed to leave
the place of county attorney open
to be filled by the executive
com mittee.
The balance of the ticket is as
follows:
For Treasurer-J. S. Mccormick.
For County Clerk-Albert Glad.
do of Weir.
For Register of Deeds-Jerry Ha-
ger of Mineral.
For Clerk of the District Courts.
d. Scott of Ross township.
For Sheriff-Wm. Titus of Scam.

For County superintendent
Alice Patterson Of Mineral.
For Probate Judge-Mrs. S. c.
Scoville of Galena.
For Coroner-J. S. Kenworthy.
For County Commissioner, I'd

City.
For County Commissioner, Sd
district-J. H. Morgan of Lowell.
For Representative, 25th district
John w. Lennon of West Mineral.
For Representative, 18th district
r. A. Teeter of Galena.
For High School Trustees-J. c.
Bumgarner, David John, R. Hard

For Senator-W. E. Morgan.

The japanese government has se-
cured an option on the new Turk
ish cruiser Medjidie, now being
hurried to completion at Cramps
shipyards. Both the Russian and
Japanese governments have been
negotiating with the sultan for the
cruiser for month past, through
che Ottomen Bank, an English cor.
poration in Turkey. The latter
transacts nearly all the financial
business in Turkey, and has prac-
tically the control of all the gov.
ernment's cash.
Representatives of Russia and
Japan have been working. through
the bank, bidding higher and high
er, as the war fever increased, until
it is alleged the Japanese offered
$5oo, 900 more than the cruiser cost,
after which the Russian representa-
tive withdrew.
The Medjidie cost about So, ,ooo,-
600, and the Cramps are under con-
tract to deliver her in Constantine
pie, when the balance due will be
paid. Should the sale be made the
cruiser will be turned over immedi-
ately to Japanese officers, who are
at Seattle awaiting orders from
home to proceed to Philadelphia.
The Medjidie on her trial trip
developed q speed of 22.24 knots.
The guns for her have been made
