The fact of the matter is that there
has been very little actual suffering
from the snowfall of January or this
month. The failure of the railroads
to deliver at all times an ample sup
ply of coal was no excuse for the
historical stories told by space writ
ers who were anxious to sell senti-
mental story of suffering and hard
ships without considering the damage
done to the progress of the community
from which the story is purported to
have come.
The truth is that there has been but
a small amount Of suffering from lack
of fuel and none from a scarity Of sup
plies. The story of deaths by freezing
is wholly without foundation IN fact.
The jamestown Alert in comment
ing upon these sensational stories,
said:

Economy in every industry is be-
coming more pronounced year after
year. Manufacturing centers are drift
ing toward locations where the raw
materials can be secured at lower
cost. During the past ten years cot
ton manufacturing in the south has
increased more than a hundred per
cent. and there has been a decrease
in the production Of textile manufac-
turing centers in the New England
states in proportion to the increase in
consumption. A score of years ago
the great flour manufacturing centers
were in New York and other eastern
states. To-day the west controls man.

THE EvER-HELPFUL PouLTIcE.
Proper Preparation Of This Useful
Household Remedy.

Bread and Milk Pouitiee-Put one
tablespoonful of stale bread crumbs
into a gill OF milk and let boil up once.
Take from the fire and gradually stir
in little glycerine or sweet oil, so as
to render the poultice pliable when ap-
piled.
Hop Poultiee.-Boil one handful OF
dried hops in half a pint of water un-
til the half pint is reduced to gill,
then stir in enough Indian meal to
thicken it.
Mustard Poultice.-This may be
made OF equal parts Of ground mustard
and -four made into paste with warm
water and spread between two pieces
of muslin cloth or it may be made
into a paste by mixing the mustard
with lard or butter.
Linseed PouItice.-Take four ounces
of powdered linseed and gradually
sprinkle it into one cupful of hot wa
ter.
Ginger PouItice.-This is made like
a mustard, using ground ginger in
place of the mustard.

Lett Fortune to a Stranger.

Milwaukee, Wis.-To be left $500, 900
by a person whom ono has never seen
sounds like fairy tale. but 1t has been
realized in this city, according to Miss
Lydia Paeschke, 1921 Clybourn street.
She has been left the fortune by n
rich Mexican whose name she does not
know and who knew her by means Of
her photograph taken in Mexico and
shown him by n friend OF Miss
Paeschke. c. Z. Jones. who left MIL
waukee for Mexico the latter part OF
May.
Miss Paeschke received n letter from
attorneys In Mexico yesterday ac.
quainting her of the fortune left her.
She said today:
"A short time ago I received n let
ter from Mr.. Jones and he told me that
my picture had made great impress
sion upon the Mexican. He said that
when he showed the photograph to Mr..
Manda the latter said, 4 could learn to
love that girl N
Shortly nfter that received a let
ter from the Mexican himself. but
was unable to read 1t and threw 1t
away.

you can fool some Of the people
part of the time, but you can fool 9TH
ers all the time," seems to be motto
of the get-rich-quick men and gold
brick" operators. Pages of the daily
and weekly press may be filled with
warnings to readers to be on the look
out for swindlers, yet many who are
credited with intelligence will keep
right on biting at bats thrown out to
them by various concerns who sell
"cats in bags"
Psychologists say that every person
has weak spot somewhere in the
brain. 1t seems that this softness is
commonly manifested in false reason
ing that frequently one can get some
thing for nothing. Understanding this
desire on part of the majority, the
fakirs bait their hooks accordingly.
There are large concerns which have
built up great enterprises by repre-
senting to the people that with each
bill of goods purchased the buyer
gets something for nothing"
Just think of graft" like this
that will draw $500 worth Of soap or
ders in single month from town
of 10000 people! But this is just
what has been done within the past
few months. Just think of wives of
grocers and dry goods merchants in
large cities joining soap clubs" and
paying dollar each month to a for
eign concern Just to secure pre-
MUM, while their husbands could
supply them at half the cost all the
| soap and the premium too! Yet
such is the drawing power Of "the
| something for nothing" argument. II
| the Creator gave these women COM
mon sense, they little know how to
| utilize it.
, Some means should be devised to
tax directly or indirectly the con-
Germs in foreign cities that seek to
do business directly with consumers
through the mails. AT present they
are protected by the interstate COM
merce law These concerns make
their money by dealing with the peo-
pie of some community, where they
/, pay no taxes direct or license fees.
The merchants of the town are
! taxed upon the business they do. Is
this proposition a fair one? The for
eign insurance companies doing busi-
ness in a state must pay a license fee
for SO doing. Why not compel the
foreign mercantile concern to do the
same? Our national laws should be
SO constructed as to provide that
there be tax on the amount of busi-
ness transacted in state by any
mercantile concern in another state,
unless the business be transacted by
concerns which pay taxes within the
state for the doing of such business.

$1,000 Ore on Portland.

A big strike has been made on the
Portland No. 3 on Battle mountain and
ore giving returns of more than $1,000
in gold to the ton is exposed. The find
was made by George Balderson, who a
week ago opened up a two and one-half
foot vein carrying good values
at a depth of $50 feet. The
work of following the ore body
began and with development I'M
provement was shown in values, but
the big strike came this morning when.
after a round of shots, the vein
showed a width Of almost four feet be-
tween walls and gave assay returns as
high as fifty-five ounces gold. The
high values are carried in a three and
one-half ounces gold to the ton. This

of the mine is showing a slight i'm

NEWS FROM The MINES AND MILLS
Transfer Of Kitty Clyde.

Idaho Springs, IdahO.-An importan,
transfer of mining property in Idaho
Springs district has recently been con-
summated, whereby the Liberty Bell
Mining and Leasing Company, with
headquarters in Denver, comes into
possession OF the Kitty Clyde patented
mine. The price to be paid on a lease
and bond Is $4,000, which Is consid-
cred a very low figure for a property
that has produced SO handsomely dur
ing the past decade. The Liberty Bell
company has already taken possession
and Is working four shifts a day and
expects to install compressors and
drill in the near future. There is now
a good working plant, with steam hoist
and dumps. A shaft is being put down
on an eight-inch vein OF solid ore,
which assays about $4S per ton. "A
shipment already has been made, in.
Guiding mill run .yhich gave return
of $22 per ton. The Kitty Clyde is pat
ented and situated in Coral mining dis
trict, in Spring gulch, some three miles
west of Idaho Springs.
A number of we'll known Denver
men have taken financial interest in
this mine. Thomas Coppard of Idaho
Springs made a thorough examination,
followed by an elaborate report, in
which he declared that no mine in the
district has ever produced as great a
quantity of ore for the same depth, nor
does any mine in Clear Creek county
make such an excellent surface show
ing. According to this report there Is
considerable amount of ore in the
various levels which stand as a valu-
able asset for the present company.
Mr.. Coppard states that he himself
had a lease on the west shaft from the
surface to the sixty-foot level, which
showed a streak Of ore from one to two
feet wide which returned from three to
six ounces gold-$60 to $120-and from
thirty to forty per cent. lead. He paid
fifty per cent. royalty, and hauling and
milling charges and divided one-half OF
the profits with the company. His
lease earned him 81 per day. Other
leasers on the same property also
made excellent profits, owing to the
superior quality of the ore and the gen
eral strength of the vein and its miner.

MAKING CHEAP GOODS.

ers who depend on cheapness to Sc
cure sales. These manufacturers buy
from junk dealers all classes of old
iron, and this remelted and worked
over enters largely into their manu-
factured articles. The result is that
a stove is produced that while it ap.
pears to be all right, few months
use will prove it to be almost worth
less. The tensile strength is not
there, the metal Is rotten and brittle,
and the expansion caused by the heat
makes it warp and crack. The Innings
are of the poorest material.
One of the tricks employed Is the
use of old sheet iron for lining.
Throughout the south and in many OF
the large northern cities the manu-.
facture of artificial ice is extensively
carried on. Galvanized iron cans OF
the capacity of 300-pound ice-cake
are used, and in every large plant
thousands of cans are in use The
ammonia that is used in the process
of freezing soon causes the cans to
corrode, and then they are rendered
useless for the purpose required. The
stove manufacturing concerns buy ul
these discarded cans, and use them
for lining stoves. 1t can be judged
that the life of the Stove in this way
is shortened, but as the stoves are
never intended to last long, the lining
is as good as the other material
which enters into their composition
