Lincoln bodied forth both OF them.
He was the genius of these divine ut
terances made flesh. Herein was his
strength. This 1t was which made
his utterances shine with the light Of
love, tempered his judgment with
mercy and gave him such sweet hu-
mility in welding his unequaled pow
er. Democracy, the equality Of mar,
have their origin in the spiritual
Men are not equal outwardly, but only
in their fundamentals and in the inner
mast. God and nature treat all alike.
Here is the model for human govern
ment, and it was on this model that
Abra ham Lincoln worked. His code Of
principles consisted in the doctrines of
the Nazarene crystallized into politics.
We need both them and him. We can
have him only by looking through his
words and acts to the soul beneath
To find that and give 1t forth unfyer-
sally to humanity would be a ceAtena-
~ worth while, would be of more help
than all the birthplace farms, all the
formal programs, all the panoply and
trappings and state. Not that we IN
derrate these outward tAings. They
are necessary, but they are not pre-
cious in themselves, only for what
they represent. 1t Is the mighty, the
majestic and the merciful spirit Of
|, Lincoln that gives them life. 1t is that
which we honor and that which we
need. Show it to mankind, body 1t

and We shall lend glory to the out

Of our day with the same spirit In
which Lincoln met the crisis of his
day. Otherwise we are moe worthy of
him; otherwise all our praise bSeOrnes

rather than honors him.

Among those who will participate In

recent candidates for the presidency,
.x-Secretary Taft and Mr.. Bryan, and
others whose names are household
words in more than one land. Now
that the Springfield program has been
adopted by the educational authorities
Of so many Of the states this simple
ceremony will become the most widely
observed and impressive memorial
service ever given to single man on
the American continent If not in the
world. But this will by no means end
the observation Of the Lincoln cente-
nary. Almost equally notable will be
the celebration at the Lincoln birth
place farm, which will then be dedi-
Gated and thrown open to the public
as a national park. At this Kentucky
ceremony President Roosevelt has
promised to be present; also Mark
Twain, Governor Folk and others dis
tinguished in politics, law and letters.
There is a generous emulation with
out rivalry between the two commit.
tees that have in charge the respective
celebrations at the birthplace and the
tomb. Thus the two ends Of Mr.. Lin
coins pathway will be bright with
glory, while the fame of his life will
stretch like a rainbow between. But
the chief celebration will be neither al

Abraham Lincoln made every one in

without becoming more loving, more
charitable and more true. There is not
an element in him that does not make
one better to contemplate. The pure In

blush, and the gentlest and most timid

derstand that the extension is to
be made at once. This will be a
great help to the Quapaw camp,
make it very convenient for oper-
ators and miners to 60 back and
forth to the county seat. No
doubt the line will be extended to
Baxter and Galena to connect
with the other roads at the latter
point.
AT the Eastman mill, the ore
bins contain more ore, than any
other accumulation yet carried in
this field, and while this COM
pany marketed several cars last
week, the bins are filling up
again, as the mill is producing a
large amount of ore each day.
The ground has been put into
shape to deliver to the mill
enough OF dirt to keep it going
steadily.
A new outfit has taken over
the Old Strong Bow diggings,
and has installed a holster build
ing, and equipped it with steam
boilers, steam holster and pumps,
and proposes to work the ground
and clean ore on hand jigs.
Some of the finest specimens
ever taken from the ground in
this field, came from this mine,
especially--the large lead cubes
made over an extensive area.
The Big Jack company's new
mill will be put into operation in
a short time, as the finishing
touches are being given to it at
the present time. With three
shafts to supply it with dirt this
company should make a good
record from the start.
AT the west of the Big Jack
the Eastern Mining Co.'S. proper
ty is being developed with salts
factory results.
The Common Law has again
gotten to producing ore. The
new development to the north
west is proving to be very good
and is adding much to the ore
supply in sight.
Oil for fuel is now being used
by many of the mills in this
camp. This means a great. saw
ing in fuel and trouble to the OPP
orators as against coal.
J.C. Bryner who is workink
the Sunburst shaft No. 3, has
several hundred tons of selected
ore on the dump ready to mill.
He estimates this ore will yield
at least II per cent of high grade
jack.
Joining the Bryner lease to
| the southeast, the Omaha is TAX
ing out equally fine one, raising
it through the Hobo shaft and
milling at its mill on the Omaha
lease. LATE Griffith, Supt. Of
the Omaha reports satisfactory
results from the properties oper-
ations.
The Good Luck is grinding
out its usual amount of zinc ore
and making the record of the
north camp for continuous pro-
duction. Some very big stories
have been told about jack mines,
but the Good Luck is the real
thing and can show the most
skeptical the goods.
Development at the Luther
mine is being pushed as fast as
possible, in order that the ground
may be opened up properly, be-
fore the new mill will be installed
this Spring. This property is
located between the Omaha on
the north and the Lancaster on
the south. Both of the above
properties being on knobs while
the Luther is right down in the

the exceptions to the general
