The Aitkin correspondent of the
Duluth Herald of Feb. Goth says:
1.-The steamer Remnica, which is to
be moved from the Mississippi river

A Practical Farmer.
Some years ago, before the bicycle
was in such favor as it is now. a
farmer went into an iron monger,s
shop to buy scythe. After serving
him, the shopman asked if he would
buy bicycle.
"What might the price of them be?,
asked the customer.
''Fifteen pounds.
sid rather spend fifteen pounds on
cow"
"But what an idiot you would look
riding about the town on the back of
cow.'
"Perhaps So" replied the farmer.
''but not half such an idiot as I'd look
trying to milk a bicycle. London

There was a lecture on socialism at
the school house in district No. last
week and the verdict of majority is
that the speakers mixed a few good
ideas among a large amount of i'm
possibilities. A few such lectures will
do more to kill socialism than all the
opposition that can be brought against
it. We have nothing to fear from such
men. They will get a few followers,
but the majority of the people in this
country are too we'll anchored to good

N. b. A telegram from our superintendent,
George W; Addison. at ORC Elmo, California,
under the date of August 2, says: "l2 assays
from kradle mine average $62 gold per ton.
The mine expenses for July amount to $3.50"
The superintendent reports under date OF July
10, that the following development work has
been done on the Medina Co.'s mines at ORC
Elmo; Main tunnel on Kradle mine 300 feet
long, showing % inches of ore in breast of an
average assay value of $50 per ton; ore in
hrdule Slopes assays $40. hradle mine in good
shape TO stope ore. Gardner tunnel IS feet
long with IL inches of ore in breast which pans
well. When this tunnel is run under Kradle, a
distance of $50 feet, IL will have l69 feet of
backs, and think will have good milling ore all
the way. We have 1870 feet of backs on the
upper or kradle tunnel. We have done 30 feet
of new work on johnson mine, besides clean
ing out and laying $50 feet of new track.
When the work is fully completed. we believe
we will have 500 or 600 feet of slopes in John
son mine" The mill at ORC Elmo is now run
ming steadily night and day. There were some
delays after starting owing to necessary re-
pairs on dam and ditch; Notwithstanding this
the output for July was more than sufficient
to meet dividend charges. When the railway
is running to Medina camp, the directors fully
expect that the earnings from that camp and
from Orc Elmo. will be sufficient TO pay divl-
dends on the entire capital stock of at least 10
per cent. per annum.
The Company is offering 80, 600 of its treasury
shares at 80 each, to further develop its
mines and install additional crushing machin-
cry, and steam hoist and pump on its Gard
ner mine at Orc Fino California.
