mining engineer and all around
mining man, has taken the position
of superintendent of the Lincoln Con-
solidatel Mining company VIII ich is
developing copper, gold, silver and
lead properties in Arizona. He will
go at once to Tucson, near which
town the principal group of claims is
located.
The Sturtevant family will continue

winter, at least. He was at one time

Patent Medicines to be Taxed.

The commissioner of internal rev.
enue has recently made decision
that manufacturers of patent medi-
cines which contain distilled liquors
are to be put upon the same plane as
rectifiers and liquor dealers. Drug
gists who handle these medicines ale
also required to take out the regular
dealers license. The new ruling will
become operative Dec. /. While no
statement is made by the commits
sioneras to the medicines that will be
affected, it is believed that the deci-
sion reaches several prominent and
highly advertised medicines.

Who Are You?

Some mathematician has evolved
the following device for determining
your identity:
Put down the year in which you
were born to which add A, then add
the age which your next birthday
will make you. providing it comes be-
fore January 1st, otherwise your age
at your last birthday, then multiply
the result by 1000 and deduct from
this 694,423 substitute for the re-
manning figures corresponding letters
of the alplabet-A for /. B for 2, c
for 3. and so forth. This result will
/ give you the name by which you are
popularity known. 1t is worth your
time to find out. Try it.

Same Over Here.

The Two Harbors News in its last
weeks issue brought out the fact that
the town was large enough to have
the express companies do the deliver
ing. The same condition prevails in
Ely and we heartily coincide with the
expressed" sentiments. The News
says:
1.-THE business men of Two Harbors
should demand free delivery Of ex-
press. There are few towns of the
size in the country where the COM
panies do not make collection and de-
livery, keeping rig for this purpose.
The fact that there is but one line en-
tering here is probably the reason
that our people have for years paid an
extreme rate to the u. S. Express
company, and also paid for the deliv-
cry of their packages. We believe
that this injustice can be terminated
if decided action is taken. 1t is an
unjust discrimination. The receipts
of express here is large, and have for
years been very profitable to the COM
pany. Butafter the packages are put
down at the station, hundreds of dol
lars are yearly paid for their delivery
from the express office to consignees.
1t is the practice of the companies to
continue this just as long as the
people viii stand for it. But it has
to point where turn about is fair
play. The Office could remain at the
depot as now. and more convenient
place cannot be found. We know of
much smaller places where the Amer
lean Express company has maintained
free delivery for the past quarter of a
century. In fact, this is the first
place we ever resided ia where pat
rons of the companies were compelled
to look after the delivery of their own
packages. Let us move in the matter"

shown conscientiousness that wins for
