HE CERTAINLY WAS MEAN,
Made His Brag So Strong He Em- barrassed the Credulous
 Operator.

There is an exceedingly gullible young girl working in a Denver branch telegraph office, says the Post of that city. She is new at the busi- ness. having telegraphed less than . month. The other day young man approached her desk and expressed a desire to know how the instruments worked. With a noticeable air of su. perior knowledge the girl explained In detail. Then she sent message. When she had finished the young man handed her a paper bearing something he had written.
 What will 1t cost to send that mes. sage?" he asked. ...
 She looked al 1t and blushed. It was aipeproduction Of the message she had just sent. He had copied 1t from the instruments.
 "So you are an operator, too, eh!" she said. .... ..
 My dear little sirl."' replied the youth without cracking . smile, T am MT. Morse. the man who invented teleg- raphy' Then he left. M.
 "oh, he embarrassed me so," said the girl. telling of 1t later. Just think. there I was explaining teleg. raphy to the man who invented it."

GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS
Number of Pages Printed Increases Largely with the Pass
 ing Years.

At the beginning of the last cen. tury the printing ordered by con. gress in the conduct of legislative business was practically, all that vas required by the government. writes W. S. Rossiter, in Atlantic. Congress sional printing. moreover. was limited to bills. reports. claims and journals. No exact comparison. therefore. is pos. sible between that period and our own. since modern conditions bear no re- semblance to those of century ago. A computation. however, for different years through the century. of asgre- gate rages issued. at least roughly H. illustrates the rapid expansion of ofh. cial requirement.. The total number of printed pages of all classes pub lished by the federal government in 1880 was 4.5s2: in 1920. s.sls: in ls4o. ls.33I; in 1860. 42.007: in 1880. 7s,. I'll. After 1880 the use of printed mat. ter of all classes increased at a pro digious rate. and. according to the re- port of the public printer. the total number of pages of all classes of print ing in 1900 amounted to sl2.s34

GILMORE PROPERTIES
PRODUCING RICH ORE
Product Is Being Handled Long
Distance by Traction
Engines.

A. S. Rose of Gilmore, Idaho. is in
the city, a guest at the Knutsford, Mr.
Ross is president and general manager of
the Gilmore Mining company Qimited),
The property owned by the company is
a lead-silver proposition-onc of the
richest of its kind in the West. Dur
ing the three years in which the GIL
more Mining company has been IN
existence, the property has been open
ed up and developed under the personal
supervision and direction of President
Ross. The output of ore has been
limited TO the freightIng capacity of
the company TO Dubois on the Short
Line railroad, a distance of eighty-fve
miles. This orc haul by wagon cost
the company eleven dollars per ton.
To cheaper the freight rate without the
aid of a railroad was the problem which
confronted Mr.. Ross. This he has sue,
cessfully met by the introduction and
use of Il traction engine, with maxi
mum hauling power of seventy-fye tons.
With tins engine two trips week are
made from Gilmore TO Dubois station,
hanllng fifty tons Of ore per trip, or
400 tons per month of ore. which aver
ages go per cent lead and 80 ounces
silver per ton-worth in Pittsbur9 Pa.
where the ore is all shipped, $50 Il
ton, The traction company. which is
separate from the Gilmore Mining com
panY. hauls the ore eightyfv miles
for $3.50 per ton.
Messrs, Knight and Warwick of Salt
Lake, who own valuable mining proper
ty in that section of the county and
who have every confidence in its great
mineral wealth aud ore producing pos
sibilitics. own a half interest in the
traction line, the work of which is not
only satisfactory but proving profit
able investment. The engine weighs
about twenty tons and hauls its freight
Graln OF fifty tons through streams,
