James Hayes is doing the assess
ment work on the Big Six claim on the
south side of Chicago creek above the
Denmark tunnel for the Denver own
ers. The vein is looking well and some
of the material pans good string of
colors. As yet no considerable depth
has been attained and the character of
the vein filling in the sulphide zone has
not been determined. The prospect is
an exceptionally promising one, and
with further development will undoubt-
edlv disclose sufficient paw ore to ius-
tify extensive operations.

Yankee Posto f6ce Moved

Official instructions received from
the postoffice department at Washing
ton this week, will permit the removal
of the Yankee postoffice three miles
south east of its present location and
the office will shortly be opened near
river.
Upon the recommendation of Con
gresham Haggott, Mrs. Katherine
Slaymaker has been appointed post
mistress, vice Nancy M. Arnold, re-
signed. AS soon as Mrs. Slaymaker
has received her credentials from the
postmaster generals office, she will
take charge of the Yankee postofiice
and remove it to its new location.
The rural free delivery route, which
has been agitated by residents of Fall
river for some time past, should be es-
tabished, and can be, if the parties to
be benefited take concerted action in
the matter.
The contract for transporting the
mails from Dumont to Alice is not
affected by the change in the postofIice
at Y ankee. Until recently there was
but one person residing on the route
who received any mail between the
two points, and that party has now left
for the winter. Lack of attention on
the part of citizens of this place result
ted in the establishment of the mail
delivery line to Yankee by way of Du
mont, and unless the proper steps are
taken, the contract will be renewed
upon its expiration. The establish
ment of a rural free delivery system
on Fail river and surrounding sections,
will of course, do away altogether with
both Alice and Yankee postoffices.

Are You Worth $5Op
From the Des Moines News.

Andrew Sylowayne, ninety-four years
old, has offered himself for sale in New
York for $50. Ninety-four years OF life
spent Ninety-four years of struggle for
survival, for fame, for riches; ninety-four
years filled with dreams, ambitions, disap-
pointments: 34.31O days of mental and
physical activity, of victories and defeats,
of successes and failures We look upon
him with pity. His life has been a fail
ure" we say. Could you sell yourself for
$50? Are you worth that much? It's some
thing worth thinking about Hundreds and
thousands of men and women who imagine
that they are valuable to themselves, to
their families, to their friends and to the
world, are In reality nothing more than
human junk.
Why? Because they are too indolent to
manufacture themselves into something
that is Of real value A pile Of pig iron is
compared to its possibilities. Manufactured
into a hundred delicate scientific instru-
ments, its value is almost beyond calcu-
lation. A young man tied down to a four
legged stool copying into books what has
come from the brains of other men, pos
sesses less real value than a pile Of pig
iron. What he needs is manufacturing. He
has latent possibilities which lie ready to
be developed SO long as they withstand
the effects of inactivity and sluggish men
talfty. II he Is valueless all his life, the
to do the manufacturing himself or be q
pile of rusted, corroded pig iron. Now is
the time to commence turning this pig iron
of yours into something of more value.
What do you think you can make yourself
worth? Figure 1t out.

as an illustration. That view Is legitimate,
inasmuch as none Of the Scripture charac-
tiers are perfect and none Of them are held
up as examples On the other hand 1t may
be thought that Isaac was out of his proper
place, that he should have remained nearer
to Beer-Sheba, that the Philistines were
right In seeking to dispossess him, and that
ne was right in retreating before them. 1t
often occurs that good men go where they
ought not, and that trouble arises in con-
sequence. leading them back to their proper
sphere. In either Of these views there is a
warning for all. Bravely to meet those who
oppose Is not the least of duties. To keep
within ones circle of privilege is the way to
rest. But there is always a blessing for him
who makes peace Matt. v:9).

224. Was not Christ the seed to whom
God promised joint Inheritance with Abra-
ham to the land of Canaan? Gen, xiii:15.)
If not, why does Paul so declare?
Answer. Gods promise to Abraham Gen.,
xii:1-3) Included several items. The one
pertaining to Canaan as a possession was
for him and his seed, according to the flesh,
his intention being to establish nation in
land favorably situated for the good Of
the world Another element in the promise,
one of the spiritual import, not so clearly
manifest as the secular element, was to be
realized through Christ whom Paul men,
tons as the seed because he came of the
stock of Abraham Matt, i:D. Christ did
not inherit the land of Canaan; He did
what was vastly better, carry forward to
worldwide man the spiritual blessings
promised to Abraham Gal, iii:14.
225. Did God promise Abraham a per-
sonal inheritance and possession in Canaan?
If not, who does Stephen so declare?
Answer. God gave, by a kind Of war
ranty deed the whole land of Canaan to
Abraham in trust for his posterity. He
did not give anything to Abraham person.
ally; He did not allow that patriarch to
claim any part of the land, however small,
as possession. Had He done this the
larger purpose of His will would have been
defeated. Abraham lived in a tent, a
nomadic life, and never had personal title
or right to a single acre Of land. But his
descendants under Joshua at. the time of
the settlement divided the land after a
peculiar but tribal fashion never otherwise
adopted, built houses and cities and be-
came permanent dwellers. These state
ments fully harmonic what might at first
appear to be contradictory in Scripture on
this subject. 1t will pay one to study the
system of landed estate among the Jews
and to learn the reason for it under the
theocracy.
