The Hills.

Oh, we hills that were my comrades
l have come to you once more!
Give to me that peace and rapture
You were wont to give OF yore
When my youth was spent in dreaming
That the future held serene
All the sweet, alluring fancles
OF boys desire and dream
When my hope was like the colors
OF changing rainbow's hue,
And the skies that bent above me
Seemed one bright eternal blue;
When climbed the rugged pathway
To some wind-swept rocky crest
Searching for your mighty lessons
To conceal them in my breast.
I was but a child of nature;
But your wonders thrilled my soul
And your deep, unspoken secrets
Were my vainy worshipped goal.
You could ease ceaseless yearning
That involved my every hour,
You could feed growing hunger
AS deWdrop feeds flower.
Now the mind alone can voyage
To lost youths enchanted shore,
And the solemn pines above me
Sigh their requiem So never more.
But hills! your heart is loyal
And my soul enraptured thrills
While my spirit mounts to meet you.
o We everlasting hills!
Yonder hangs the swinging branches
That climbed when life was free,
And looked beyond the greenlng farmands
In mind-Wrapped reverie.
But the shadows creep toward me
And the homng wild-birds cry;
AS the crimson fires OF evening
Pale along the western sky.
From the melilotus pastures
Comes the sweet, dust-laden bee,
And the last pale ray OF sunset
Seems to wave farewell to me.
Night is come,-her sable curtain
Drawn from out the darkning east;
And my throne becomes an altar
With deep silence for priest.
Here the soul might make confession,
Not to man, but Natures God
And you, O hills! that know my sorrows
Keep them sacred in your sod.
You know my sins as you know my sorTows
That out of grief all wild loves come.
Oh! shall it be thus through the long to-morrows
Till my very lips are dumb?
Though you answer not with speaking
shall hear your voice in undertone,
| shall take the lesson that you teacn me
And keep it for my own
On and on to future questings;
Where'er fate calls me go;
But nv heart will turn to its old, old restngs
And the heather hills will know WA

Local PAper . Great Ben Mt

There iS no advertisement so benfi-
cial to a city, nor one which more
favorably impresses nonresident as an
ably conducted newspaper we'll gotten
up, and filled with local news and ad
vertisements of home merchants.
Such paper at once suggests the
the thought that here is a live and
prosperous city, and the reader is ia
vorably attracted to it.
In new towns and Villages this fact
is so well understood that those inter-
ested soon look about for a newspaper
and often times plant is bought
for the publisher and it proves a good
investment
No influence is more potent in build
ing up a community in America than
its newspapers, says the Muscoda.

earliest history they have been cease
less in adver tising the advantages and
and the resources of the surrounding
country. If new industry was to be
had, they have been foremost in every
measure to secure it, the publishers
often times devoting more 3time and
money Ito say nothing of columns and
columns of space) than any other citi-
zen.
In matters of public concern NUM-
cipal affairs, taxation etc., they ex-
pected to advocate and do flavor the
course which is most conducive
to the interests of the icity and their
advocacy usually leads to better gov
eminent and lower taxation.
Publishing newspaper sis a !matter
of business. The mission of the local
paper, however, is toiwork in and out

Swan Song Of The Silver Standard: :

SWoW OUug " Ine SuvbI Siduud o.
0Qhe Mines of the Silver Plume dis
Nict namely the Dives-Pelican. Seven
Thirty. Cory City, Pay Rock. Everett.
Illinois, Dunderberg. Terrible, Snug
ler. Shively, Baltimore, Mendoza,
Frostberg. Burleigh and many others
have produced large bodies of high
grade ore, adding millions TO the world
wealth, but at the present time the
production Of these big and rich mines
are very small indeed, and hardly
q day passes but what some of our
citizens are asked the cause of this,
which fact We will try 10 explain:
Largely is it due to the fiuctuation in
the prices of silver, lead and zinc,
which metals predominate in our
mines.
In the next place, when our mines
have been producing large bodies of
ore but development has not been kept
going as should always be done and a
q reserve fund of about one tenth of
the net earnings should be withheld for
dCNClOPtiiCII Inc DccOIIltS utdu
when the ore bodies are worked out
and it remains for the faithful leaser
to again proceed to open new bodies of
ore without any encouragement from
the owners.
In the past four years considerable
mtside money has come in to build
Aghls and reopen some of these old
mines but in nearly all cases the money
has been handled by men of fluent
tongues and no practical knowledge of
mining, and the miners who formerly
occupied positions such as forem en- and
shift bosses, and men who were able to
render most able service on account of
their thoro acquaintance with the mine
were discharged and their places taken
by relatives OF the owners or some one
who was ready to comply to the fanci-
full whims of the manager.
Thus large sums of money have been
squandered and the mines are in worse
condition than handled by leasers.
Some beautiful mill monuments
stand erected to the memory of few
hundred thousand dollars or awaiting
some turn of affairs practical men can
get them to handle.
Our mines and camp are now re-
ceiving the quiet blessings land
sufferings] from such facts as these
and it is time that our miners awake
and let the truth be known to the out
side world.
We have just word to say to the
investor in mines: Look we'll to who
is going to handle your money; be sure
he understands his business, so that the
mill he may build for for you will not
have to be torn down and rebuilt, as is
often the case, and that the work
done in the mine be of aIdevelopment
nobre.
Continue your tunnel sink your shaft,
drive your drifts, encourage the leas-
ers by fair compensation for the dead
work necessary to be done in order to
extract the ore, and success is sure to
be yours from these old mines.
Don't be afraid to trust a miner
with few of your dollars, as they are
not all dishonest, which they have been
given credit of being by some of your
theoretical miners. Silver Stand
