If anyone thinks there is anything
the matter with this district trip
properties will reassure him to the
contrary Work is going ahead at
all ends of it; in the mines, in the
prospects, in the mill and smelter at
MeGill. The payroll week ago
yesterday showed why the district
should be the most prosperous; why
1t is the most prosperous in the state,
and the following review of the work
going on at the various properties
show how the payroll is being ap-
piled.
At the Copper Flat pit the work
/ ings resemble an enormous hive of
industry and everything is going
ahead like clockwork. The extrac-
tion and shipment of ore goes on day
and night According to the report
of the company, the copper content
of the ore taken out curing the last
quarter averaged 1.59, the lowest
averaged yet worked. This is easily
accounted for by a trip to the pit
where one can see the great quantity
of ore of a grade lower than one per
cent bing shoveled into the cars for
shipment to the big mill at McGill.
The working of this character of
ore at profit is like finding money,
and while it brings down the general
average of the ore treated at Nc
Gill, in the windup it proves con-
siderable source of revenue to the
big company. Ordinarily, 1t would
go over the dump as waste with the
methods of treatment at the concen-
traitor the valuees are saved. In the
Liberty pit they have considerable
ore blocked out and ready for ship
ment: and meanwhile are removing
tons and tons of oyerburden.
At the McGill plant, all three de-
partments, the mill, smelter and con-
verter are being worked to their
capacity. No l reverberatory has
eclipsed the worlds record for "a
hours. having treated 622 tons of ore
in that time. Previous records at
the smelter were in the neighborhood
of 240 tons day, and the world S
record heretofore was below 500 tons
by a considerable margin. The work
of the past two weeks under direc-
/ tion of Chief Engineer Sorenson has
put the past efforts of the big Ana
eonda mill in the shade, and the Mon
tana people have not yet recovered
from the shock.

the market.
His march into the millions reads
like chapter from the Arabian
Nights. After the Tonopah deal,
MS name was one to conjure with in
all ends of the mining game, and he
got into some of the best mining
propositions in the country, the
money coming rolling into him. His
residence was New York, and there he
got the copper craze. The Pheby
brothers were in this district at the
time, and they knew him from
Tonopah, were tey aided him in get
ting his famous option. At the time
OF the boom here they again got in
touch with him, and after assembling
the properties known as the Ely Cen
tral, Induced him to buy the ground.
He put $3.50. 900 into that deal, and
started to operate the property with
churn drills.
Then George Graham Rice. pro-
motor, came into the field, looking
for a copper property. He stopped
over here on his way to Bingham,
but never went to Bingham. He saw
the possibilities of Ely Central as
promotion. and opened a deal with
Joe Pheby which was concluded in
New York with two of the Phebys
and Turner. Before the smash came
in Ely Central. the former owners
received all their money from Rice,
and 1t was a cheerful sum. Mean
time, Mr.. Turner was taking flyers in
the coppers of Arizona, and had an
nexed other properties, some of them

worth at the present time, II he were

known. but evidently Mrs. Turner

AFT is extended to the 1900 foot

mark
At the 1900 foot level they are
drifting in the ore measure in three
different parts of the zone. They are
drifting on the hanging and the foot
wall and in the middle of the zone.
In the latter they have driven $50
feet; 80 feet on the foot and 10
feet on the hanging. They are taking
out some very rich ore from these
workings, but what the average con-
test is Is not being given out by the
management.
In the Zack shaft of the Ely Con-
solidated very welcome change to
the management has taken place at
the 600 level; the ozidization hav-
ing ceased and the ore gone into the
sulphide form. In drifting to the
orebody which was encountered at
and above the 500 foot level, they
have passed out of the lime and into
the porphyry, with the sulphide ore
Intervening in Ihe contact. Some
thing big is looked for when the big
dixie Is reached.
At the 500 level a drift is being
driven toward the American work
ings of the company, and the contact
looks good for the opening up of
lead deposits, and lead has been
found in good quantities in the
American shaft The drift will be
continued TO this shaft, as 1t has been
decided to make the Zack the prin-
eipal working of the mine. The ore
will be handled to the best of ad-
vantage from the Zack for the reason
of the proximity of the Nevada
Northern tracks.
Boston Ely is improving in the
lower workings every day. In the
northeastern drift of the Emma
shaft at the 1900 foot level. they
have proved the ledge for width of
fifty feet and are taking out some
very fine high grade ore; much OF
which will average 10 per cent. In
the northwest, 1t has been found nec-
essary to establish a blower to rid
the working of the bad air, and until
this is put in work cannot be carried
on. Poles for the stringing of wires
from the Veteran to the Emma are
now being pur ap and will be ready
for use in few days

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

The young women of Baltimore
college are taught housekeeping in a
practice house," real household
maintained for experimental purposes.
In principle it is no different than
the model farm, the model newspaper,
the model training school and the
many other models" by means of
which are taught the practical but ex-
ceedingly essential things.
Theories are of use only in SO far
as they may be applied to bring about
actual results. At least, more and
more that is being demanded of theo-
ries.
Business men are studying psychol-
ogy. not for the mere theory of the
thing, but to bring about actual results
in business. The business man says
to the psychologist: "Tell me how
can write convincing, business-getting
letters"
He is seeking to apply the laws of
psychology, a science given few
years ago as cultural study" for
mind training to the laws Of husinesS
Men are making science of business,
just as women are making science
of housekeeping, and the farmer a
science of farming.
And they are going to the theorists
for results of his study. The practical
and theoretical are combining inter-
ests. They are working for mutual
,nefit and help.

A BASIS FOR PROGRESS.

Columbia may need the commission
form of government to better facili-
tate business which has become
large. The new form is in many re-
spects an improvement over the pres
ent municipal government. But it is
not the plan of government alone that
makes progressive, growing cities. 1t
is civic pride as we'll.
Civic pride is the only effective rem.
edy for bad government. With the
instituting of new forms there is al
ways a stimulated interest in munich
pal affairs. Improvements follow and
the new government is credited. The
credit should have been given to the
interest of the city's men and women
in its betterment, an interest which
is too often tagging.
A law providing for the commission
form of municipal government in cities
of the third class may soon be enact
ed. If this is done, there will be agi-
tation here for change, for the old
form has in many ways proved made
Quate.
But it must be borne in mind that
with this new form of government,
there must be infused in the mind of
every citizen a feeling of pride for the
city, not because it is big, but because
it is beautiful and clean and healthful.
Without this the best sort of system
will fail.

U. s. FRuIT.PAINTER DEAD

Department Of Agriculture Artist
Made Thousands of Color-Drawinss.
Miss Deborah Griscom Passmore
for eighteen years the principal paint
er of fruits for the department OF
agriculture, died recently at her
apartment in the Birmingham.
Miss Passmore studied art in the
School of Design and at the Academy
of Fine Arts in Philadelphia and was
a pupil of several famous artists, in
Guiding Thomas Moran.
Flowers and fruits in water color
were her specially. One of her great
est achievements was a series of
paintings of practically every known
variety of lily. Several of her paint
ings were exhibited in the art gallery
of the Columbian Exposition in Chi
cago and received favorable mention.
Since her appointment to the divis-
ion of pomology of the department of
agriculture August 1, 1892, she had
produced thousands of paintings of
fruits, many of which were repro
duced in color in the year book of
that Observation-Disclosures Star.

ON using it until the test, of usage
either incorporates it in the diction

And now comes Miss Vida Sutton
with "husbandette!"
Miss Sutton is an actres and play
wright and a graduate Of the Univer'
sity Of Chicago. If that does not en-
title her to coin a word, what on
earth would? She not only furnishes
the word, but supplements it with a
definition:
"A husbandette is simply an acces-
sorry husband. He's the mollycoddle mar.
ried man whose wife is infinitely wis
er and stronger than he. frequently
she supports him, financially; always
she is his mental and moral buffer.
He is afraid of everything-even in
cluding her. Perhaps he swaggers
about without realizing his terror, but
it is there"
There is more to the discredit OF
the monstrenuous consort:
"He is little-fearfully, horribly lit
tle-and that is the unpardonable
sin. If person is big, there is al
ways hope for him. 1t is much easier
to direct strength than it is to build
up weakness. By strength l don't
mean just football shoulders, though

But the strength which the real wom-
an desires is strength of Will, and
that characteristic is always lacking
in the husbandette. He wabbles.

religious needs of country people.
They have a distinct problem. II the
country church is to do its work it
must enlarge its conception Of its
work. 1t must deal with vital present
day problems in terms that can be
interpreted by the modern farmer. It
must help make attractive the social
life of young people. The church must
be a social as well as religious CEN
ter. The country minister must be a
man who can see in the country par
ish an opportunity for a life work. He
must know modern agriculture and be
leader in every phase of rural life.
Country people must learn to give
money. The average farmer has ac-
cepted literally the scriptural state
ment of free gospel. The farmer
must pay for a good church building
and high grade preacher.
The country church has held large
place in the country districts of Mis-
souri,. 1t must not be lost. 1t must
be revitalized and made even great
er force for good than it has been in
the past.

FOR A PURE GOLD LAW.

1t seems that Missouri may soon
have a pure gold law which in a way
resembles the widely known pure food
law. Senator Lanes bill in regard to
it was recently sanctioned by the sen
ate committee on crime and jurispru
dence. The object of the bill is not to
prevent the wearing of cheap orna.
ments. Anyone who wishes may con.
tinue to wear "three-for-a-quarter" gold
pins. 1t merely provides that the buy.
er may know what he is getting. This
is what the St. Louis Republic says in
regard to it.
"This measure makes it a misde-
meanor, punishable by fine from $10O
to $1,000, for any person or firm to
make or sell or have in possession to
sell any merchandise made in whole
or in part of gold or alloy of gold,
which is stamped or marked to in
dicate a greater degree or carat of
fineness by more than one carat than
it actually possesses.
The bill is directed. against per-
sons or firms guilty of imposing jewell
ry upon the public that does not come
up to the standard of worth it is repre-
sented to possess. Senator Lane is of
the opinion that if it becomes a law
the sale of cheap jewelry through false
will soon become a
very Improbable business in this
state"
The proposed measure should have
the. support of every citizen of Missou-
ri. No effort should be spared to pro-
tect the public from fraud whether it
be in jewelry or falsely branded food.
Marking jewelry to contain more gold
than it really has in it is merely a
scheme for an individual to gain
wealth through false pretenses at the
expense of the public.

THE COUNTRY CHURCH.

Is the country church a passing in
stitution in Missouri? Has it served
its day? This is question now being
asked by those interested in rural
problems of the state. There can be
no doubt but that at present the rural
church is suffering from backset Of
some kind. OF course the whole rural
life of Missouri has seen great changes
during the last ten years. The young
people have gone to the city. Old
neighborhoods have been broken up
by the coming of people from Iowa
and Illinois and other states and as
is usually true of people when they
move they do not at once identify
themselves with the church. The gen.
eral decrease in the number of min
listers has especially affected the coun-
try preachers. The country parish
does not appear to offer to the minis
ter a permanent work. He, like the
young men. is anxious to get to town.
In the study now being made of this
problem. there are few things that
seem clear. In the first place the city
or town church can never meet the

"eraternity Man" Gives His Side.

"Fraternity Man" Gives His Side.
Editor The Missourian: The article
in the current issue Of the Oven,
headed THAT Freshman Rule" and
purporting to be a discussion of the
fraternity scholarship situation, con-
stitutes such a gross mis-statement
of the real conditions that statement
of the actual facts affords pleasant
contrast.
Without desiring to comment on the
unwisdom of the author in expressing
such radical views on basis of ig-
norance and prejudice, a lengthy arti-
Gle would be required to point out the
more glaring inconsistencies Of the
Ovens argument
To quote, it: THE freshman rule
was suggested because experience has
demonstrated that its influence would
be salutary." The facts: A member Of
the faculty appeared before the Pan
Hellenic council and stated in talk
on the matter that the faculty did not
know where the real trouble lay, and
he asked the delegates present as to
what they found the trouble to be in
their own chapters. In only two in
stances was the trouble found to be
in the freshmen Now, if even the
faculty is not sure where the trouble
lies. why adopt the freshman rule?
THE Pan-Hellenic council voted
down this rule and thereby officially
endorsed the miserable, disgraceflh,
low scholastic standing" On three
counts this is a malicious mis-state-
ment of the real situation. The Pan
Hellenic council did not finally vote
down this rule, but voted to adopt it
at the end of the school year 1901,
if the statistics on scholarship for the
second semester showed that the fra
ternity men, as a class, were of lower
scholastic standing than the non-fra-
ternity men, surely the only fair basis
of comparison.
The statement that fraternity
scholastic standing "is miserable, dis
graceful and low" lacks only one ele-
ment-that of truth. There have as
yet been no statistics compiled which
compared fraternity with non-frater-
nifty men, and there is nothing to show
anything to the disadvantage of the
fraternity men on this basis. Until
such a comparison is made there are
no grounds for the strong language"
which the Oven says it not strong
enough. To quote prominent facul-
ty member, THE statistics compiled
are insufficient for any thorough un-
of the matter"
No mention was made of the fact
that the council adopted card sys-
tenn whereby each fraternity may have
a monthly report on each of its men,
bers, a system which Doctor Hill en-
dorses and one to which he has prom
ised his support. Nor was the council
given any credit for the sincere and
earnest effort it is making to raise
the standard of scholarship among
men. Such an effort is be-
ing made and it deserves mention just
as the Ovens misleading statements
deserve correction. A correction in
the columns of the Oven has already
been suggested by a member of the
Oven staff.

FOR THE STUDENTS TO SOLVE

When the searchlight was recently
thrown on the scholarship of the stu
dents of the University of Missouri,
q class of students was conspicuously
seen who evidently do not understand
the purpose of this University. Some
of these are here for fun with no
other aim; some of these are here
simply because their parents sent
them to college,; some of these are
here-they know not why.
1t would be credit to the students
who are here with serious purpose to
rid the community of the shiftless
class. 1t should not be a difficult task
because the majority of students are
here primarily for work.
In social organizations, no one
knows better who the scholarship
failures are than the members them
selves. Instead of covering up the
habitual failures, the organizations
should be glad to get them out.
From any point of view, there is
nothing to be gained by allowing men
or women in the University who will
not do respectable work in their
studies. Their influence on students
is bad; they often get false idea that
they are prepared to meet the prob
lens of the world when they leave
school and at all times they are poor
est kinds of advertisements to the
University which they represent. /

Today's Woman outshines oIden Typ

Today's Woman Outshines OIden Type
That woman today is not the woman
of yesterday, that her nature has beer
so modified, tested and clarified by the
flow of social evolution and everchang
| ing environment that her character has
assumed a wholly different one from
that of her ancestors, was the declara
tion of William. MailIy of New York
dramatic critic, who addressed meet
ing of the Socialist Literary Society.
Woman for centuries has been a
pale reflection of mans idea of her.
said Mr.. Mailly. Only recently has
she begun to stand forth in her own
light. to reveal herself as self-reliant
entity, as human being in her own
right. claiming recognition because of
her own intellectual capacity and in.
herent worth and power, and not be-
cause of mans delusive sentiments and
condescending chivalry.
Where the woman of old was weak,
the woman of the present is now
strong, and out of her strength she is
building anew to her glory and that of
mankind.
"This change is nowhere more sharp
ly reflected than in the character of the
stage woman of today as contrasted
with that of the stage woman of the
past. Where before woman was por-
trayed either as destructive agent, or
rs purely negligible factor, she is now
shown as constructive agent, exercis-
ing positive, impealing influence upon
those around her, acting and reacting
in the development of her own char
acter and those of others.-Philadel-
