The merry Widow"

The Merry Widow" sailor is a
pretty pile of straw and very becom-
ing to most women, but gee. amt
they big? The old prophet ISAIAH, who
always made good in his line, must
have sat behind one of these hats at a
chariot race or some other entertain
ment when he handed the Daughters
of Zion' the hot roast found in the
fourth chapter of his literary work, In
which he speaks of their "bonnets,
head bands" and 'tround tires like the
moon" A Merry Widow" hat is
about as large as a full moon. There
was terrible state of society inIsaiah's
day anyhow, for he tells of seven
women running after one man. Evil

At a banquet of the Cosmopolitan
Society in New York one night last
week, social equality and intermarriage
between the white and black races
were advocated. About twenty white
girls and women dined at the tables
side bv side with negro men.
One of the negro orators, apparently
pleased the negroes when he said
"Intermarriage, if continued long
enough, would solve the race problem.
do not believe the white man would
be SO anxious TO marry the negro
women as would the negro man to wed
the white girl. but this would continue
the negro marrying the white woman
until they would gradually bleach or
until the race would run out. :"
This proves that Kentucky was not
too soon in stopping the co-education
of the races at Berea.

LIVE STOCK AND CROP NOTES

"A steer owned by Charlton county
Missouri, man, originally valued at
$50, has cost in litigation $4,000 on
account of quarrel between to farmers.
The inclement weather of the past
week has brought farm work to a
standstili. There is yet two-thirds of
Bourbon farm lands to pillow. 1t is
very discouraigng e the farmers.

The Paris Creamery's monthly re-

business. For the last 13 days in April
total of 1898 pounds of milk were

tend that it may. when warm weather
sets in, fall from the trees. Gardens

their appearance on the local market.

a hog in this or any other county,

He denied that the Forest Service was dctri-

proved it was benefit.
He criticized the democratic plank for the
guarantee of bank deposits, assuming that dishon-
est men and reckless Adventures would turn their
attention to banking at the expense of dcpositors
who now exercise prudence in making their de-
posts.
Mr.. Cloudy compared the qualifications Of
Bryan and Taft for the high positions to which
they aspire and gave il as his opinion that Mr..

results which he had accomplished during his pub

paid his respects to Gov Mcdonald the Supreme

SAMPLER WORKS RE0PENED
Give Employment to Is Men. Prospects
Resume and Conditions ENCOURAGING

The sampler works of the Federal
Mining q Smelling Co., located just
west of Wallace, started up Saturday
with a full force of 25 men. It is
being operated 10 hours a day.
Five cars Of ore are being shipped
daily at the present time by the
Federal company, three from the
Standard mine at Mace and two
from the Wallace mill.
The reopening Of the Sampler
works caused plenty Of speculation
as to the policy OF the Federal COM
pany regarding its various proper
ties and rumor ranged all the way
from opening every property full
swing to running off what ore il
now stacked and closing up every
thing tight.
1t is fortunate that only few
pessimists have advanced the latter
theory.
The general belief now is that be-
fore long there will be general
resumption Of the Federal properties
since the metal market appears to
have become more settled and the
general outlook less clouded.
There is no indication from the
company's local office Of any kind
to basean opinion on and it is prob
able that the notice to reopen, when
it comes from headquarters will set
no date ahead for the commence
ment Of operations but order the
mines to open at once.

1T is our intention, said John H.

long tunnel which will give us a
depth Of 1900 feet.
1T will cost about $40, 900 to drive

money with which to do this work.

Wardner Property Will Soon be Added
- to List of Producers.

Wardner is to have another pro-
ducing mine in the near future if
the present indications at the Gale
donia property continue and the
ere showing enlarges within the
merit few feet as it has been doing
fof ten feet past, says the News.
This week the miners at work COM
pleted the 70-foot upraise connect
inR the shaft at the end of the tun-
mel with the surface where an up
to-date electric hoist will be install
ed at once. A crew of the Wash
ington Water Power company's men
has been at work for a week past
stringing wires from the Last Chance
sub station in Wardner to the pro-
perty. This has been completed
and as fast as the machinery for
the hoist arrives it will be placed
and the power attached for imme-
date operation.
The Caledonia is one of the old
est located properties as yet mde-
veloped around Wardner, having
been staked in 1886 by John Keat-
ing and James Kelley. Mr.. Keat-
ing still retains a considerable in
terest in the property and has been

and much tunnel and shaft work
done in the preliminary work of
locating the ledge.
When found the ledge was cut in
the shaft run from the longer tun-
mel and the owners saw that to
reach their ore body they must sink
on the ledge. This was done and
some high. grade ore found along
the footwall side of the vein. With
this showing some of the prominent
operators of the district were inter-
ested and after acquiring consider
able holdings from Mr.. Keating a
company was incorporated last fail
and steady development work begun.
A new tunnel was started further
down the hill and when in 14O feet
the ledge was encountered and from
here a shaft was sunk 60 feet on the
ledge. Two feet of fine ore has
now been uncovered in the bottom
of the shaft and as soon as the elec-
trio hoist is in operation this shoot
will be fully explored and the ore
stacked for shipment.
A crew of seven men is now at
work in two shifts. This force will
be augmented by another shift as
soon as the machinery is insalled.
F. Cushing Moore, Charles McKin-
mis-, John Keating and J. McCarty
are some Of the present owners.
The property adjoins the Federal
company's Last Chance mine and
is adjacent to the town of Wardner.
