NO PouLTIcEs FOR SOLDIERS.
Revolutionary Decision Made by Army
Physicians.

Physicians.
Linseed and linseed meal have been
dropped from army medicines, and
the army physicians have been noti-
fed that 1t is the opinion of the sur
geon generals office that poultices
have no place IN modern therapeutics,
all the good results obtainable from
them being got In a much more clean
ly way by hot wet congresses.
The prohibition OF the time-honored
hnseed meal, the best material for
poultices, seems to interfere with a
method practiced by a large number
OF physicians. who would be inclined
to testify that without it our soldiers
would not receive the best care.
There is surely much to be said on
both sides. The psychological effect
at least of q poultice is entirely too
great for a successful family physi-
clan to ignore. and why deprive the
soldier Of this old fashioned comfort?

there is really only one side to the
question, that is a mystery, we will
proceed to enlighten the much impos-

When a girl is in love she reasons
thusly:
She doesn't say he is perfect, but ~
don't care whether he is perfect or
not
She does not believe him because
what he says is true but because he
says it.
She wonders if she loves him too
much?
He not as handsome as Apollo, as
wise as Solomon and as brave as
Napoleon but he reminds her of them.
And her definition for a mark is:
In Germany, t~wenty-three cents, in
the United States, a man in love.

The man behind the box-ofiice and
stamp windows could tell many funny
things IL they wished. On a busy day
at the Post-ofice, recently, we stood
near the stamp windows and over
heard the following remarks and saw
some funny happenings flor the OBJ
server. There was quite a line 10
front OF the window when a women
came up 10 buy a two cent stamp, now
she had the pennies In her pocket but
wanted a dollar changed, after fumbl-
Ing in her purse some time, she pre-
sented the clerk with the silver piece
and then ensued the following con-
yersation: Ibid you know that for
a cent and a half you a get thirteen
two-cent stamps" asked the lady "No,
madam, " replied the clerk, who had
changed the money and was waiting
for her TO move so the next In line
could reach the window. Don't you
want to know" she asked, "Really we
haven't time for such things here, will
you please step TO a side," remark
ed the much tried clerk. The women
flOunced away from the window say
ing as she left, 81 never saw such a
rude mar 10 all my life, he should be
reported" 1t is not an uncommon
occurance for people to ask for a re-
duction when they buy stamps in any
quantity, and on learning that they are
sold straight, to say that the govern
ment is robbing the unsuspecting
public At the theater recently when
the tickets were on sale for "Way
Down East" and a crowd was at the
boy Office window almost constantly
there were many similar happenings.
To choose a seat in one part Of the
theater and then as soon as it has been
placed in the envelope To decide they
wish TO change is quite common. The
asker is also in evidence
and as great a nuisance as ever. What
martyrs these people are that serve
the public in this manner is hard to
realize unless you try the position a
little while yourself.

sa & + EMPIRE STATE

Secretary Coons, of the Empire State Mining Co.,, who has been here for several weeks looking after de- velopment work at the property and other matters in connection with the affairs of the company, will leave during the week for Utica, New York, his home and the headquarters of the company. MT. Coons goes back with encouraging reports to make to the home office regarding the show ing that has been secured with the development work that has been done on the Empire ground. He will also be able to report that he has straight ened out all questions as to title to the property and that he has it now clearly in the hands of the company. The latter has at present time no stock on the market. It has sufficient money in the treasury to carry on de-- velopment for some little time before it will be necessary for it to issue more stock from the treasury. When the money in hand is exhausted work now in progress indicates that there will be a sufficient showing of ore in hand to bring a considerably bet ter price for the stock than has here to fore been secured.

AFFAIRS OF THE MODERN.

A few weeks ago it was stated that the Modern management had plans for reorganization under cons1dera- tion, with the end in view of securing funds with which to resume develop ment. It may now be stated semi officially that such is the case and that the heavier stockholders in the company heartily sympathize with the plans entertained. They watt to see more work done at the property and will lend all the aid they can to, bring it about. Which means that the way is pretty well cleared for the re-or-

GREENE GOLD COMPANY,

In a recent report to stockholders, Col. w. c. Greene, the president of the Greene Consolidated Gold Co.,, an- nounced that the installation of the machinery and plant at Santo Domin- go had been practically completed, that the machinery in place was work ing smoothly and that the pumps were handling the water without diffi- cUlty. The washing of gravel was be- gun November 28, and since progress ed satisfactorily, although the high water caused by the unusual heavy rainy season has caused more or less delay. About 130 men are now em- ployed shovelling in the skips and sluices, and the shovels have been handling on an average F cubic yards per shovel
 The first cleanup was completed February 15, and s112,64020 were re- alized. A dividend of 20 cents per share was declared March 4, and it is understood that another payment of like amount will be made early in May. The total monthly cost of run ming is between s7,G00 and $S,000, which will be slightly increased in the near future owing to the cost of wood for steam.
 Of the 100000 shares of stock orig inally placed in the treasury, 54,08T shares are still on hand, the balance having been sold. No more treasury stock will be sold unless the directors decide, after the annual meeting in October, to double the capacity of the plant. From the proceeds of the treasury stock all costs of machin- rery. erection, etc., have been paid. The company's properties are fully paid for, and there is no floating or fixed indebtedness. It iS expected that the output will increase as the machinery gets i1 better working or der, and that net profits will grow proportionately.
 The company property, comprising 6,320 acres, is about 30 miles south west of the Greene Consolidated Cop per Co.'S mines at Cananea, Sonora, Mex, and 30 miles east of the town of Magdalena, the railroad shipping point. A wagon road has been built over the mountains from Magdalena to the mines, over which the machin- cry has been transported. Titles to the above-named properties are in the form of patents from the Mexican government.
