A Washington educator is telling a
story about a young medical friend
of his who is interested in insanity
symptoms and is sort of amateur
alienist. The other day the student
got a chance to visit one of the wards
in the asylum for the insane, and hav-
ing heard that there was a man con-
fined there who labored under the
hallucination that ne was God the
student asked that he be allowed to
see this patient first, as he appeared
the most promising for investigation.
He was taken to the ward where the
lun2tic was confined and the following
conversation ensued
Student-Are you the Deity?
Lunatic-From everlasting unto
everlasting I am he.
Stnacnt-Well. I've been looking for
you for long time. I have a question
to ask YOU How do you reconcile the
doctrines of predestination and free
will?

full height and giving the medico a

Four yearse later a new period of

The following year some other dis

FAIR HAVEN AFFAIRS.
ForOugh Decides to Water It's Own Streets
Gypsi9s Depart.

Owing to the inability of the bor-
ough board of Fair Haven East to per-
shade the city authorities to sprinkle
the streets Of their section, 1t is de-
cided that the borough will water its
own thoroughtares until oct. LIST. The
claim is now made that the street
railway company will have to sprinkle
a portion of all streets in which their
tracks are laid and should the railway
company not construe the statues as
the board does and fail to send its car
into the borough, some of the borough
ties say they can have the sptinl1ling
dtne and then charge it to the rail-
way company.

TIE TRIBUNE GETS

award the con tract for the city print.
ing for the next year, last evening
made the award to The Tribune and
the work is in the Office.

and we will give them the best grade
OF work that is possible to be done in
All Office the size of this.
The fight for the printing is Oft as
far HI this Office is concerned as il was
not the desire Of the paper to see
home printing sent out of town when

Florence. This was the main object
OF Tho Tribune's attack upon the
council and there was no other motive
behind the articles. We were not
picking fight with any of them.
This special committee claims, and
we arc willing to say 10 for them,
that 1t was never their intention to

work done where it could be done the |

The Tribune is not the only paper
published in the Arkansas valley that
ia opposed to the Arkansas river puri-
fication scheme as now outlined as
shown by the following article clipp-
cd from the Pueblo Post. The Trib-
une hasn't said anything about pos
sible graft, but there appears to be
plenty of room for it, according to
this clipping:
OF the Arkansas RIVER is being wasted
and 80 is the money il any is being
spent and it is surprising to hear the
thing seriously discussed. A stream

How can Pueblo stop the refining of

the treatment of ores ut Florence. or
how can 1t stop the mining treatment

SPLENDID NEWS
FROM AURORA
CARSON MAN TELLS INTEREST,"
ING STORY OF GREAT VAL-
UES BEING FOUND.
LEASERS AT WORK ON PROPERTY
One of The Leading Towns In Ne
yada In An Early Day Being
Filled With Life.

James Woodbury. of Carson is
working on a group of claims in the
historic old town of Aurora, Esmer.
aida county. He has recently paid
a visit to Carson and tells the News
about his impressions of the old
camp in the following:
There are at present about fifty
men employed in the mines of Au
rora and about twelve leasers are
working on the different properties
One of the best things about the
camp is that all the men owning
leases are making money They have
their ore milled in the custom mill
which is owned by the Cain Consoli.
dated company, one of the heaviest
holders in the camp. This company
offers every inducement to the men
who are leasing in the camp.
| Most of the men who have taken
leases are from the southern sections
and as soon as the men in those
camps come to the realization that
the leases there do not all contain
thousand-dolla rock, more will come
into Aurora.
1.-The Cain company have a twenty
stamp mill and fifty-ton cyanide
plant in constant operation and are
shipping bullion to the mint in this
city every month.
"At the present time the Wide
West mine, made famous by Mark
| Twain in 'Roughing It,, is the center
of attraction in the camp. They are
now drifting toward the Johnson
Chamber, out of which the owners
took 100000 in two months in the
early days of the camp.
''At that time the miners were
| forced to pass up ore that did not
run at least 800 to the ton. The
owners of the Wide West mine at
the present time have foot ledge
of 5000 ore on their 140-foot level
| and are preparing to arrange for a
milling of large amount of it the
coming month.
Several eastern companies have
had their experts in the camp during
| the past few months and they have
thoroughly sampled many of the
properties. Their reports in every
instance have been highly favorable
| to the camp. The mines in Aurora
are proving their worth every day
and the camp certainly has very
| bright future.
will Woodbury. Is working on
several promising leases on the Pros
pectus and stands in line for good
results. Roy Sprague is foreman on
the JuniataMartinez property, which
is one of the great mines of the dis
trict.
arrangements are fast nearing
completion for the bringing in of
power from Rush creek and when
power is applied to the progress of
the camp, she will be a hummer"
In speaking of the proposed extern
sion of the S. p. into that camp, Mr..
Woodbury. stated that it was under
stood that the road would come with
in five miles of the camp and would
reach there sometime this fall. The
object in view is to tap Dangerberg' S
timber lands about ten miles south of
the camp This timber belt will be
used to supply lumber and fuel for
the southern camps, the supply being
almost ineXhaustibe.
