MILL STARTS AT ATLANTA.

The new and magnificent mill of the
Atlanta Mines Co., owned by 7. N.
Barnsdale ofPittsburg, Pa, started crush
ing the ores from the Monarch mine last
Sunday, and is now in operation CON
stantly. The mill, which has a capacity
of reducing 15O tons every "a hours, and
is supplied with all the latest improved
processes for saving the values Of the ores
was completed only a short time ago, af-
ter having been in process of construction
for period of over two years.
In order to assure a steady run, the
mill is equipped with both electric and
water power and is connected by a long
tramway with the mine itself, which is
about mile and three-quarters distant.

POTosI.

Mr., W. F. Sommercamp, secretary
treasurer of the Potosi Mining Co., arriv-
ed here from Weiser, yesterday, accom-
panied by Messrs Peterson and Remier,
of the firm of Peterson, Horning & Co.,
of Pittsburg, and Mr.. Caldwell, also a
stockholder in the company, from the
same city. These gentlemen all spent
this morning down in the mine and hoist
ing works and looking over the site for
the new mill, in company with superin-
tendent Masters. This is the first visit
of these eastern people to the camp, and
it is needless to say that they are very
much pleased with what they have seen.
Down in No. level there is four foot
body of ore on the face, and crosscut is
being driven into the foot wall, with every
indication that the ore continues in that
direction.
Work is being pushed on grading out
the millsite and the building viii be start
next Monday. All the machinery for the
mill has been purchased and will begin to
arrive in very short time.
A new and larger transformer and a
larger motor were initalled at the mine
this week and started running yesterday.
Everything is stunning smoothly and good
progress is being made. We have not
learned yet whether the new crosscut tun-
mel to cut the old mill level tunnel fur
ther south is to be started now or the ma
chine drills employed in extending No 3
level further north will be continued on
that work.

Since last report, the tunnel has been
extended about u feet further north, the
vein remaining about the same width,
with the rich streak continuing. Ar
rangements have been made at the Addie
min for working the ore, of which about
25 tons of the better grade are now ready.

when probably arrangements will be made
for pushing the development work with
greater vigor.

it is to connect with the level tram isnow
up. One difficult job-that Of putting
the rock crusher, which weighs, with its
fly wheels, over Is, 900 pounds-has been
hoisted and put in place in the ore bin at
the top of the mill, without any mishap.
Some of the bents of the trestle for the
gravity tram are now up, and the timbers
for completing it are all now on the
ground The snow is rapidly getting out
of the way, so that work on the level
tram can be started very soon. The mill
is now almost entirely completed, the
pipes for conducting water to the con-
centrators, pans and settlers having all
been put in, and only the power line to
be strung, the boiler to supply hot water
to the pans to be set, and few minor
adjustments to be made, all of which can
be done by the time the tramway is fin
lshed, and 1t VIII be ready Tor starting.
1t was big job to undertake during the
winter season, but happily the weather
has favored and now it is about accom-
plished.
A few more men have recently been
put to work in the mine, preparing for
stopping down ore. All the work is being
done in No. and levels north and in
No. / level south of the upraise All the
ore shoots are showing quite as favorably
as formerly. But little ore is being taken
down. awaiting the completion of the

GIVE US POSTAL SAVINGS
BANKS.

Congressional action upon the currency
question has been delayed so long that
the session will likely close without any
relief being afforded.
This is a very simple, yet infallible way
in which the amount of money in circu-
lation could be increased, even without
increasing the issue by one dollar.
This is by the authorization Of postal
savings banks,
Were this done all the money in hoard
ing would flow into circulation as if by
magic.
Nor would this hurt the banks, as the
government could lend that money at a
low rate of interest, say two per cent;
the same as it would pay depositors; and
the banks could make six to 10 per cent
profit upon it.
There are postal savings banks in all
the principal countries OF Europe and
elsewhere. Why cannot this great re-
public, this government of the people,
for the people, have them too2-Ex.

Several big grading outfits are now at
Huntington ready to be strung along at

though the Oregon Short Line had deter

stances, the road down the river from
Twin Falls through Owyhee county, for
which a survey is now being made, does
not seem such a remote probability.

Honey Guides.

Mother, what are those lines on
the morning-glory for?"
''Those are honey guides" said
mother. Each one of those lines
runs into the center of the flower
where the honey is. God put them
there, so when a bee lights on a
flower it can go right to the honey;
and that Is what the bees go into the
flower for, you know-to get the
honey in the center of the flower.

The Wall Within.

A Dutch city In the olden days
was besieged by the Spaniards. The
attacking army used the battering-
ram to try to break through the
wall.
The people inside saw that the
attempt would be successful unless
the wall was strengthened. So the
Dutch went to work and quietly
built up an inner wall.
The Spanish succeeded I'm getting
through the outer wall, only to be
confronted by stronger wall with

they are not enough. Walls within

chief delight of European travel
comes from the sympathetic ear and

cheers you in your hours of travail
and adds a joyous touch to your

American Women Realize the Signifi.
canoe of Dress.


From time to time the charge is
made that American women spend
too much on dress. The extrava-
gance of our sisters, wives and
sweethearts is supposed to be lead
ing US somewhere--notably we think
in the case of the last named, to the
altar. Recently the wife of British
consul engaged in the social life of
the East charged that the whole
panic of 1907 was brougt about by
the extravaganza of American wives.
This is "going some" for wifely ex-
travagance, but we like to hear
charges of this kind made, since they
add to the gaiety Of life and of
nations.
The truth Is that American wives
and American women generally are
not more extravagant than those of
any other nation-certainly not more
so than the local conditions warrant.
Our American women are smart
women, and they realize very keenly
the significance of dress. They do
not require a doctor of science to
tell them that the end and aim of
nature in instilling love of finery in
the female heart is to produce that
sex difference and sex charm which
makes for the perpetuity of the race.
Finery fascinates the male, and
what is better, holds him after he is
fascinated; and it is on this truth as
much as on any other that the charm
and perpetuity of the home is based.
No scientist, philosopher or social re-
former of any sort would advocate a
modification of this physical attract
iveness to the detriment of the race,
and there are no necessary bounds
to extravaganza along this line
which are not already set by social
conditions-social opinion for one
thing, social poverty for another.
The wisest thing that has been
said scientifically on this subject is
that sex diversity, and not sex iden-
tity, is the point. That boys and
girls, men and women, should be as
far apart in their taste and ideals of
dress as they can be, in order that
they may be mutually more attract
i've to each other, is probability the
first law of nature. Beauty is the
point, and we should advocate and
forward it in every way. Teach your
boys and girls to love manners,
dress, ornament, as we'll as physical
strength, agility and skill. Tell them
what ornament is for. Give them
an idea of how nature works, and
then when they know that nature
Is really depending upon them to
make better men and women-the
better men and women of the future
they will unquestionably take a
more hearty interest in the develop
ment of themselves, their arms. legs,
chest, the beauty of their voices, the
erectness Of their carriage and all
that makes for manly and womanly
health and charm.-The November
Delineator.
