The St. Ives Lease

While it is altogether probable that
the st. Ives lease on the Queen estate
will be regular shipper prior to
Christmas. and reasonably certain that
it will enter the shipping division the
present month, it has not been consio-
cred in computing the total value of
Rawhide's ore output for the present
wear. The leasehold has already demon
strated it's mineral possibilities by
Welding several shipments of high
Grade ore from surface and near surface
deposits. With the object of opening
up at depth the promising grass roots
finds crosscut is being sent out from
the 200-foot level. In from the station
sill a length of 120 feet blind ledge
was encountered which is breaking pay.
II is from this ledge that the possi-
bilitv of immediate ore shipments is of
fered. Until the vein matter was en-
countered the miners were experiencing
great difficulty in advancing the cut
owing to the compact character OF the
formation. Excellent progress is now
being made, however, through the me-
dunn of sssteelite,'' new explosive OF

IDLE GOLD IN BANKS.
Plan for Dealing with Unclaimed English
Millions

The House of Commons gave q first
reading recently to Mr.. Bottomley's bill
10 make banks give return to the state
of unclaimed balances and valuables
which have been undisturbed in their
possession for six years or more and
hand them over 10 the public trustee.
THE object, he said, lis to bring into
the possession and control of the state
the vast amount of wealth which is ut
present lying dormant and entirely un-
productive in the vaults aud strong rooms
of the various banking institutions of
the United Kingdom"
Banks would have TO make return OF
the money, securities, jewehy and plate
which had been in their possession un-
claimed for six years, and which were
the property of persons who had not op-
Grated their accounts during that period.
They would also have to account 10 the
state for all old bank notes or other ob-
legations which there was reason to be.
lieve had by the eiiluxion of time become
obsolete.
The theory of the bill was that These

DESP0ILING THE FIELDS.
Fertile Soil Being Carried TO Sea by
Inland Waterways.

Americas imnieasurably greatest asset
her inland waterways-is becoming n
pronounced menace to the continent s
future prosperity. because through de-
yaStations, the streams are now rushing
unchecked to the seas, taking with them
on their travels the best elements of the
fertile lands of the farming valleys.
At the present rate on most careful
estimates by the eminent scientist. DR..
w. j. MCGEE, this soil waste is much
over a billion tons year; an amount so
stupendous that it is beyond the powers
of human comprehension. 1t Is worth
TO the farmers not less than a dollar a
ton, and as the dangerous conditions are
constantly increasing. the ownership Of
a Mississippi valley farm viii soon be a
burden rather than a blessing unless the
devastation of the river slopes and
watersheds be sharply checked.
Shifting bars on river bottoms mean
lost farm land; rushing floods Of muddy
waters tell an eloquent story Of piratical
forestation and slipshod agriculture.
Every ounce of sediment in flowing
streams means lost soil which should be
lying between farm burrows bringing
grain and vegetables TO fruition. Every
muddy stream tells its own story of
shifting banks and sliding soil.
Farm outlines are being changed every
twenty-four hours along those water
courses; the Father of Waters sweeping
majesticaly to the south with thousands
of tons of earth carried in the shape Of
sediment and with the richest soil salts
held in solution, for this river erosion
robs the farmers by three processes; tax
ing first the solid material which the
currents roll seward on the river bot.

flow in suspension as q sediment, and
last, by the soil salts which disappear

OLD BEAMS FOR ORGAN PIPES.
Turning Lumber from Ancient Public
Building to Account.

DuitGllS ~ &AIbuuhNT
Organ pipes says well known
builder of this city, ARE made of the
best white pine and the older and better
seasoned the wood the better the quality
of tone given out by the pipe.
In Germany and England when an
old public building, such as church,
town hall or large structure of any kind,
is to be taken down there is always an
organ builder haunting the place to find
out of what wood the roof and floor
beams are made and if he discovers that
they are of white pine he is ready to pay
almost any reasonable price for them,
provided, of course, they are in good con-
ditiou without knots or nail holes lie
knows that many of these churches and
other buildings were erected 400 or 500
years ago and that through forty or fifty
decades the wood has been slowly drying
and hardening until it has reached a con-
dition which from the organ builders
point of view is perfection. Then Ae
takes the old beams home TO his fac~
tory, covering them in transit with tar
paulins, cuts them into boards of the
desired size and makes his pipes with
perfect confidence that the organ viii be
musical success.
Most of the old organs of Europe,
that is organs built from 100 to 300
years ago. have a mellowness Of tone
that distinguishes them from modern in-
struments, and although the skill of the
toner is now lessening the difference be-
tween new pipes and those that have
been seasoned by long use, there is still a
difference between the old organs and
the new, just as there is between vie-
Inns made now and those Cremona in
struments that have melowed with
time.
American organ builders spend no
time looking for old beams, but they do
keep their lumber seasoning aud for
several years before they use it and
then depend on the toner TO make up the
difference. ST. Louis Globe Democrat.

Diet and Cookery and Appetite.
Facts enough have been secured about
the nutritive value of various foods To
Justify the attempt to make the best
ones and the best ways of preparing
them more popular. 1t sounds absurd to
say that there is a direct relation be-
tween bad cooking and vice, crime, d.

such relationship does exist. Especially
is evil cooking responsible in consider

BUSINESS IMPROVING.

Y ROM every part Of the country come re-
h ports of improving business, but there is a
hating disposition because of the election Rail
way traffic, which touched the lowest water
mark about last April, is getting back 20 normal
On the goth of last April there were 4I5,37s
idle cars at the middle of the present month
there we're, according 10 the statement given out
by the American Railway Association, only
roI, 49, cars not then in use, This statement sig
nfcs that os cars out Of every 100 owned BY all
the railroads in the country are now in active
use There is no better gauge of general business
resumption than the resumption OF railroad ac-
tivties.
Another convincing indication that the busi-
nese outlook Just ahead is promising is found in
the extraordinary prosperity of the farming in
duutree Sales OF grain, hay and livestock are
bringing returns to farmers, particularly IN the
region generally referred to as the Central West,
that are Of record-breaking proportions, a re-

The crops are fine, prices high and farmers are

T HE hard times through which we have been
y passing for the last eighteen months were
caused by the financial panic OF last year. II is
also a fact that the Republican party was not re-
sponsible for that panic, On the contrary, it was
caused by those who were then and are now hos
tile to the Republican administration. William
jennings Bryan admitted that to be fact
Then, to be fair with the Republican party It
should be judged according to the state OF affairs
and the conditions OF the times Immediately
prior to the panic, and what it has done since to
improve conditions II cannot be disputed that
up until the last panic our country never had
times so prosperous, and it cannot be denied that
under this administration a great deal has been
done to improve the tunes and overcome the eff
feet of that depression.
The Republican party is a constructive not de-
structive party. 1t cured the panic and hard times
OF the Cleveland administration, and II given a
chance il will Just as surely and effectively cure
the gamblers panic of 1907 ana the hard times it
caused. There is everywhere evidence OF reeov-
