POTOSI.

M6SSfS L. II. HurU, TALK OOctCOo
and Ben Kaufman Of Dubuque,
were looking over the various min
ing propositions in this locality last
Monday. Mr.. Hurd who is an
expert miner and has had much eX-
perience in mining affairs pronounc-
ed Preston Point mine" as the
most likely proposition that he has
yet seen. This statement coming
from a man who is so eminently
qualified to advance an opinion is,
most gratifying to all the people of
the community. Because of the
fact the Preston Point mine is none
other than the TregO mine which
was abandoned by Frank Trego for
the same reason he is said to have
abandoned the Meeker's Grove
mine, simply because the party
from whom he leased the ground on
which he was working refused to
lease him additional ground. 1t may
or it may not have been a good and
valid reason for his pulling stakes,
shaking the Potosi dust from his
feet, but we are not going to argue
that point. However it seems that
Mr. Trego has some grievance and
since leaving here has even put the
stamp of disapproval N. G. in big
letters on the Preston Point mine,
and we are not quite sure that he
does not include all of the PotOsi
district, Fortunately tho there are
those who differ with Mr.. Trego,
and have quite as much confidence
in the future of this district coming
into prominence as a mining center;
as tho he had said nothing, and
from the fact that all of the stock
in the Preston Point mine has been
taken up, bears out our assertion,
and don't be surprised if old Potos1
should again re-assert herself and
bear the proud distinction of being
in the front rank in the matter of
being the largest producer of ores
in the entire district as in the days
of yOre.
The infant son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Arch Hurst died on Wednesday

The production of ore in the Jop-
lin district has reached its zenith
and buyers are forced to other fields
for high grade zinc ores, upon which
Joplin district has had a monopoly
and the Wisconsin zinc fields with
their easily treated ores is the point
to which they are coming.

Some of the best lead found since
early days has been discovered in
the prospect on the Geo. Walker
farm west of the city where the
Lucky Eight have a lease. An old
shaft has been excavated and at a
depth of about 80 feet some great
stuff was found.

taken. The mist is over our eyes
not over q d's. We see only part
of the sd. He sees it all. We
only know our schedule and often
the master changes that without
explaining to us the details-but he
has the whole campaign before HIM,
and his plans take in centuries and
worlds and eternities. A grub
might as we'll critclse an archangel
as finite mind criticise the plan Of
campaign Of the omnipotent. But
while that is true it is also true that
the work of every one is of inn
portance. Zerubbabel did his work.
Ezra his and Nehemiah his. Neither
could do the work Of the others
and each persons work was neces
sary, Zerubbabel laid the temple
foundations, Ezra restored the
temple worship, Nehemiah builded
the city walls around that temple.
Each did his own work in his own
way. Zerubbabel could not say to
Ezra, II have no need of YOU"
Neither could Ezra say to Nehemiah,
Il have no need of you" These
three men were links in a chain at
one end of which was God and
every link was important.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1906-02-17

Zerubbabel. Ezra, Nehemiah =
these are the triumvirate who i'm
mOrtalized themselves With the re-
building of Jerusalem. Every great
work hinges upon the deeds Of some
one man. There must be an in
spired leader. Thus upon Moses
rested the safe exodus from Egypt.
Solomon was needed in building the
first temple. So it was in the
Restoration after the Babylonian
captivity. Zerubbabel, a prince Of
the house of David leads the
ransOmed captives back to Jerusalem
and under his direction the founda-
tons of the temple are iaid-then
for twelve years the work ceases
until aroused by the preaching of
Haggai and Zecheriah the Jews
complete the structure. Then the
clock of time ticks off seventy years
more in which the city itself lies
waste, thinly inhabited, its streets
defenceless, it's walls in ruins For
sixty years from the time of the
dedication of the temple to the ar
rival of Ezra from Babylon their
history is unwritten. Silence broods
over the long period Then comes
Ezra. Ezra the man does not ap-
pear in Ezra the book-until we
reach the seventh chapter. There
is an interval, a hiatus of sixty
years between the sixth and seventh
chapters of the book of Ezra. Ezra
is reOrganizer, an ecclesiastic, a
pastor to the people. He restores
the temple worship and carries on a
religious revival for thirteen years.
At the end of that time Nehemiah
appears, the new governor and civil
ruler, the story of whose administ-
ration is recorded in the book bear
ing his name: Thus these three
men each in his place and time does
his own work.
~
Over John Wesley's dust is in
scr1bed this sentence, God bur1es
his workman but carries on his
work" And all history is a verific-
alton Of the statement. Very few
men in the worlds affairs have
begun, carried on and completed
anything. Men in general often
feel that Providence has blundered
in the accidental removal of in.
dividuals from the fields of action.
Ii the question were put to vote
whether certain men should 60 OF
depart out of this world or remain
in it, society would vote unanimous
ly for them to remain. We say
they cannot be spared. The cause
demands that they remain at the
head of 1T. No one can fill their
place. They are indispensable.
Nevertheless they fall-and the
cause goes right on. Pompey
thought there Was a mist over the
eyes of God because he allowed
certain things to happen. And q
good many moderns are of the
same opinion. But they are mis-

Mining Notes.

Otto Behncke, one of the directors

fine specimens the other day.

God can use every man some
where. He never wastes anything.
There is not an atom Of universe
that is only fit for the scrap pile,
Stag, refuse material. The smallest
mote that floats in a sunbeam the
infinitesimal animalcule that swims
in it's ocean of drop of water has
its mission and the universe would
be incomplete without it. Every
PERSONS work is important, every
individual is of use. There are no
blanks in the roll call of humanity.
This subject affects us in two ways.
1t pricks the inflated bladder of our
Importance and it inspires us with a
sense Of our consequence. The
universe does not revOlVe around
us but we are a definite part of the
revolving universe. We may not
be as conspicuous as Zerubbabel,
Ezra or Nehemiah, but the stone
mason who spread the mortar on
those foundations was as much an
integral part of restored Jerusalem
as those great men who directed
the work. Their names are not
recorded here but they are known
to the master builder and are
hOnOred fOrever-mOre. There is no
room in this world for pride, con-
ceit, self-importance, hOlierthan
thou air Neither is there room for
self-effacement, cringing abjectness,
feeling that we are minus
quantities, that we having nothing
to live for, that the world would be
better off without US. Humanity is
not held in the metallic clutches of
blind and memorable law which
grinds on as a heartless machine
till 1t runs down in universal chaos.

START OF A FLORIDA FEUD
Mans Farm Built on Coral FloRted
Away and NeiGhbor
Took II.

speaking about feuds,'' said John u.
Humphries of Tampa, Fla, II think that
the strapgest, in it's inception. is one be-
tween two families in Marion county in
our state. II came about in this way. You
know in our state sometimes land disap-
pears during the night and man wakes
up to find his garden a great sinkhole.
This is, of course due To the fact that
Florida is built on coral and not very
substantially built at that. especially in
some of the interior counties. Harry Rcd
ding had nice patch Of Irish potatoes.
and Oliver Vance, his neighbor. had what
he called a farm and near the house was
a sinkhole
"One night Readings potato patch dissp-
peared and the next morning he had a
nice large sinkhole nlled with water where
his garden was. The same night Vance
who had a sinkhole when he went TO bed
woke up TO find that the whole was filled
with dirt. in which there seemed to be
lot OF pebbles about the size of a mans
fist. Naturally he was surprised. He eX-
amined the pebbles to ind them potatoes.
and after calling the family up they got
to work and gathered in six bushels Of
potatoes ready for the market,
That's where tho trouble began. Red
ding claimed Nnal unutI lne Ia" "iltEe u
mans stock wanders onto the premises of
another, without his fault. he can go after
It. He argued that the same doctrine APP
piled to potatoes which had wandering
habits For he was very sure that the
potatoes on the Vance farm belonged TO
him Vance and his friends invoked an
other principle Of law that man owns
his land from heaven TO hades and he re-
fused to dig up the. potatoes for the benefit
OF his neighbor.
IAN that happened ten years ago con-
tinued Mr., HUMPHREYS, and the Readings
and the Vances are still armed against
each other. Two or three skirmishes have
taken place between the parties and one
of the Vance boys. IS years old, was
wounded by fire from the enemy
"They have never spoken TO each other
since that eventful night ten years ago.
Lawyers and politicians have gone out to
help them settle their difficulties, but they
were obdurate. and II the feud grows for
twenty years II has already Florida and
Marion county will have a feud equal to
the best that Kentucky has ever pro-
duced.H

Of William Travers Jerome or Judge
