Delicate Operation.

Friends of Conductor Wylie, who
have noticed the popular P. & L. N.
official travelling about with one eye
in sling, have been wondering if his
we'll known kind and peacable dispos-
ition had been stepped and
brought him into trouble. But the
trouble is not of beligerent nature,
just simply on account of necessary
and delicate surgical operation per-
formed by DR.. ] X. Clarke, the we'll
known eye and ear specialist of this
city, who removed a pterygium from
Mr.. Wylie's eye. This is not rare
or ferocious bug, but growth which
was covering the pupil of his eye and
interfering with the sight. He was
compelled to take few days lay off,
but resumed his duties Thursday
morning.

After all what's the use? No matter
how hard we may fight, we lose in
the end; no matter how much we may
seemingly conquer, in the end we are
wretchedly beaten; no matter how
much we are in the public eye, with
in two weeks after our death we are
too dead to be talked about. There
is only one time in the world and
that is now.

Frank Johnesse who some years
ago operated the Blue Jacket mine
over near the Seven Devils copper
country, has negotiated deal whereby
the property has passed into the hands
of Baltimore syndicate, says the
Grangeville Standard. They have
bought the property outright of its
original owners, Messrs. johnson and
Lewis Morton. Mr.. Johnesse has
been installed as superintendent, and
Pete Kearney as foreman. They have
put three shifts to work, and are going
to open up the mine to its lowest level
by means of tunnel. Mr.. Johnesse
never lost faith in the mine, although
he did not have the capital to bring
it to where he could make 1t pay.
1t is known to carry much rich ore,
and is said to be a really great prop
erty. 1t has the deepest workings
of any property in this part of the
state. 1t will be good news If the
mine can be put ON the right kind of
basis. as its success will help the de-
velopment of many other properties
which are owned at least partly in this
part of the county.
