One of the islands of the Phil
ippine group has sunk out of
sight. ANY person who imag-
ines the administration will offer
a reward for its recovery is very
sadly mistaken.
The Salmon Recorder is now
an eight page paper-four pages
patent. And the new owner has
made many decided improve
ments. 1t is still in the demo
cratic ranks, says its owner and
publisher.
The political pot has commen-
ced to simmer in Custer county.
1t will not boil until about county
convention time. But at this
early date the stalwarts are out
fixing up the fences and making
up the states.
T. J. Kerr returned one day
last week from Parker Mountain
where he had been looking after
mining claims in which he is in
terested. He brought in three
ore samples from 45-foot drift
in the Ed. Williams claim which
he had assayed in the Challis
assay Office which resulted as
follows
No. Gold, 3,249; silver,
l$165.3. Total So, 1929.
No. 2 amounted to $40, ,629.
And sample No. 3 went S14,-
1872. These were very good sam
pies, indeed, but the whole ledge
lis high grade ore. In some plac-
es the ledge is two and a half
feet wide and again narrows
down to a few inches. This
group of claims is under bond to
an Ohio company, who at pres

men.
| At the Parker group, which is
under bond to Goss Bros. and
Utah parties, work is also being

soon be shipped to Salt Lake.
Outside of the two companies
above mentioned, very little
work is being done in the camp.
Although there are a hundred
or more locations there the hold.

and Ed. Williams groups will
develop.
There is supposed to be un

publican high tariff type in the
city of Chicago, and there nc
doubt is for the protected beef
barons and the other millionaires
who are favored by special in
terests by virtue of republican
policies. Yet there seems to be
a vast deal of poverty that re,
quires the greatest economy tC
make both ends meet. The
Chicago commons has undertake
en- to overcome this poverty by
teaching girls how to keep house
ON $40 week. A large class
has just graduated, who are al
engaged to be married, who
have learned to serve a break
fast for four for 10 cents and q
dinner of meat, two vegetables,
salad and pudding for 40 cents.
1t is to be hoped that the teach.
ers of the commons will add the
study of political economy to the

housekeepers may know that
under the present republican
high tariff the cost of living has
increased As per cent. If the
