Him to bring us closer to the life that
is patterned on the divine life. We

the wheat is paid tor in sight drafts
on London, which very much prolongs
the time which the local banks must

A large new boarding house is be-

Fairview camp.
During the month Of October more
than $4,000 tons of copper ore was
shipped from the Snowshoe mine,
which established a new high record
for that property.
1t is rumored among mining men
that the closing down of the CRANKY
mines and smelter will be of but short
duration and that there is big merger
of Boundary companies planned.
One encouraging feature in the news
of the week was the receipt by Boun-
dairy and other stockholders in the

dividend checks of that concern, be-

dividend payment.

that if the men are willing to take the
Butte scale-the Butte scale being the
rise and fall of wages with the rise
