the city Is In such financial position
Just now that s3. 200 OF theresbouts.
can be- put 10 this use. There are two
ways OF looking at this. One way Is
through the eyes Of the council ana
mayor who have the handling OF the
city's funds and who can see many
many hard knocks should the city
treasury be run so low In funds that
the warrants during the latter part OF
the year viii have 10 go unpaid for a
time. However justihable the excuse
may be the holder Of warrant won't
take It into consideration when the
money is not forth coming nor will the
resident consider IL when viewing the
unimproved streets and sidewalks.
The other way.is through the eye OF
the advocate Of the move. who can
only see the necessity OF drawing
warrant for this immediate object Tor
getting that there are many other uses
TO put the city's money 10.
Both OF these views are wrong
They should meet one another hall
way The advocate Of the purchase
should consider the position in which
the alderman finds himself placed and
the alderman should cultivate the re-
sourcefulness OF the other fellow and
together they may be able TO accom-
plish the desired object without either
being embarrassed.
Everyone is agreed upon the desir.
ableness of the purchase.
Everyone is agreed upon the reason
ableness of the price asked.
There Is little difference OF opinion
as TO the inability to get the property
IL il is not taken now.
What the people need 10 get together
upon is plan to finance the purchase
so that the city need not tie up 50
much of its ready cash just now.
With that problem solved the purchase
would have very fair prospects Of get
ting through.
II the property is not taken by the
city IL will certainly be sold during
the next six months and be cut up in
to lots. The bass ball ground will
probably be the first to go rs that is
more accessible than the grove 20 the
north but that property will 90 quickly
also.
For number of years the people OF
the community have been having their
picnics there and If the property is
plated no more picnics can be held on
the land as 1t will certainly be built
up. No more base ball games unless
the games are held across the river and
they never prospered there because OF
the distance from the city.
The question is being warmly dis
cussed on the street, and the consensus
of opinion seems to be strongly in fay-
OF OF the purchase. This view is not
so prominent among the business men
and larger tax payers as il Is among
the smaller tax payers who have been
in the habit OF holding 2icnics there,
All the base ball fans are loud in ad
vocating the purchase and with these
on'the one side there isn't many left
to oppose the project.

Lonsyesr & Hodges Locating Here Means
Much tor the Development Of This
Locality.

The welcome news that some OF the
stocked ore at the Great Western mine
Is to be moved was whispered about
town last Monday. The rumor was
given more credence from the fact that
the section men started at work that
afternoon TO lay shovel track and
other workmen set at work getting the
way cleared for the moving out of the
big steam shovel.
The opener from this pile is re-

THE HoLLIsTER.

A reporter for The Diamond Drill
visited the Hollister location last Tues.
day and found everyone busy out there,
mining ore and pushing down the
shaft another lift Of 100 feet, which
will make the total depth OF the shaft
about 500 feet.
About 50 men are employed at the
property and shipment Of about l50
tons of ore is made per day.
The Hollister deposit, so far as devel-
oped, is narrow one and the ore is
very soft so soft that recent efforts TO
sub level il are not promising The
openings must be closely timbered
with square sets, making the expense
of mining a greater one than is usual
with Crystal Falls mines
The most of the mining is now being
done on the 400 #. level and on this
level the diamond drill holes driven by
the Oliver Iron Mining company a
number OF years ago, were met with.
The drill work showed width of ore
above 20 feet but drifting showed the
vein to be not more than ten feet In
width. The hole was recognized by u
flow of water from IT,
THE NEW RAILROAD
A visit was also made 10 the new
cutoff that is being built to serve the
MacDonald, and Armenia mines The
work. so far. is confined to the cut
where the spur crosses the county road.
A steam shovel, mounted on trucks, is
busy taking out the big cut nIade nec-
essary there, the waste being utilized
in building up the tracks at the Ar
menia pocket

ORE REQUISITIoNs INCREASED.
From every portion OF the iron dis.
trict comes news of the increase OF re-
QUESTIONS for ore by mining compan.
les, Last winter plans were made on
a ,>basis OF shipment moderately In
excess OF that OF last year but the re-
yival in the iron business has neces.
STATED modification OF those plans so
that now mining companies are calling
Tor more ore.
A very good illustration OF that ten
dency is found in the action of the
Jones a. Laughlins company on the
Marquette. Their change Of program
is told OF best in the following item
taken from the Negaunee department
OF the Mining journal
That the tendency of the mining
industry in the Lake Superior region
is in the direction .of steady improv-
ment is evident from the tact that a
number Of the operating companies
have increased their acquisitions upon
the mines There has been steady
increase in the shipments of ore dur
ing the past month or six weeks. and
Il looks as II there will be an excep.
tionally heavy movement during the
last two or three months OF the season.
"The Jones ~ Laughlins company
one Of the largest OF the independent
concerns. has notified its mining de
partment that approximately 1900. OO'
tons Of ore will ba needed this season.

Home Industry

When you want any article of
merchandise buy it of a reputable
home dealer, that the profit may
remain to enrich the community.
Send your money abroad only
for what you cannot purchase at
home. Home talent, home indus
try, home labor, home capital
and home pleasures are things to
be fostered, encouraged and pa
tronized. There is no way of
improving place SO much as by
encouraging good merchants,
good schools and good people to
settle among you, and this can
not be done unless you spend your
money at home

sometimes, perhaps, not alto
gether without justification, it is
refreshing to bring to light some
of the kindly acts of these big and
called "soulless corporations"
towards their employees
The Santa Fe system have re-
Gently inaugurated a system
whereby the engineer making the
most mileage with his engine be-
tween shoppings during the
course of year will be given
leave of absence for 80 days and
transportation for himself and
dependent members OF his family
to any point on the system.
Engineer l.. c. Walthour, of
the western division running out
OF Newton, Kan, was the first
man to be notified that he would
be given a lay off at the com
pany's expense, his letter being
accompanied bv check for $l4S,
which represents his average
monthly earnings for the previ-
Gus II months.
Engineer w. {. Norman hand
ling one of the passenger runs be-
tween WinsloW and Gallup is
among the fortunate ones on this
division to earn a lay-oH with
pay on account of the good re-
cord he has made with his engine
Mr.. Norman is now waiting
transportation for himself and
wife, when he will enjoy thirt ty-
day leave of absence at the eX-
pense of the Santa Fe, the com
pany having notified him that a
check equal to his average earn
ings for the past twelve months
is now due him.
Engineer H. A Pearson, who
runs between Newton and TOpe
ka, carried off the honors among
the middle division men, his en-
CINE making $4,000 miles be-
tween shoppings. His average
earnings for the past II months
had been $40, and he has re-
ceived a check for that amount
together with the same. promise
of leave of absence for 80 DAYS
under pay.
This seems to be a continuation
of the merit system instituted
some years ago by the Santa Fe
and which is being gradually ex-
tended so as to include employees
in all branches of the service 1t
gives the employees an incentive
to put forth their very best
efforts, as they know there is
substantial reward or bonus
awaiting them.
