POVERTY AND DIVORCES.

A Pittsburg preacher announces that
he will not hereafter marry any couple
when. the groom's income is less than
So 900 a year. He bases his action on the
high cost of living, contending that pow
erty is responsible for more divorce suits
than any other one agency. We are
unwilling to take this divine's view OF
the question, first for the reason that t.
expound such rot would be an inst
the intelligence and decency of the A
can people, and second because the theory
does not explain the cause for the $4,000
divorces granted in this country each
year. AS matter of fact most estrange-
ments between husband and wife come
from the ranks of those who are not EN-
barrassed by the high cost of living It
cannot be denied that plutocracy furnishes
us greater number Of. divorce trials
than those in the humble walks OF lite.

judicial relief, but how many instances

height was six feet three and half in

service as president wrote that Washing

feet tall WIashington's tallness, however,

Are Running $1,000 a Ton
Native Silver Found in
Chicago Mine.

Silver City, n. NJ, Nov. 24.-What is
perhaps the richest strike ever made
in this section of the southwest was
made by Col John w. Fleming, few
days ago, in the Black Hawk mining
district, upon the Chicago mining claim
one of a group Of seven claims owned
by Col Fleming and Barney Carr. The
ore is literally full of native silver
and runs $4,000 TO $1,000 per ton. This
ore occurs between cyanite and pOr-
phyry contact, and the ore lies up
against the cyanite formation, which
forms a hanging wall. The vein is
eight inches thick and seems to run
for a considerable distance. Col Flem-
ing and his co-owner have now "A
sacks ready for shipment TO the FL
Paso Smelter.
The Black Hawk mining district is
situated about Is miles from this city
and if the rich ore holds out. which
there is every indication that it Will,
the Chicago will become a regular
shipper of this high grade ore. 1t is the
intention of the present owners to con-
tinue to sink the shaft from its pres
ent depth to about 1909 feet, and they
are satisfied that the same grade OF
ore. if not a richer one, will continue
for this depth. In former years, there
was much ore shipped from the Black
Hawk mining district that ran fully
49, 600 per ton, principally in silver, al
though the ore carried something IN
gold.

some of them holding glasses of beer
in their hands are saying: ITO your
