MARY SACHS LEFT WITH
 OPERATORS FOR YORK

The schooner Mary Sachs sailed last evening for York and Tin City with several operators to work the tin mines, and prospect in the tin region back of Cape York.
 The country in the vicinity of Po- tato mountain has long since been staked and the Buck creek tin placers have yielded many tons of ore. During the past winter there was a stam- pede on for tin claims up near the Ear mountain country and many claims were staked. in fact the coun. try for miles was taken up by loca. tors all anxious to secure tin mines believed to exist in that country
 Max Hirschberg, the operator across the bay from Teller, left on the Mar Sachs. and will do considerable drill- ing this summer to ascertain if the land owned by his company will pay for installing dredge, that is certain placer mining claims which cannot be worked to advantage by the hydraulic ditch the company owns.

THE YOUNG YEAR.

| wish you happy year, but it will
not help, | fear, if you don't get out
and hustle in the good old fashioned
way; all the wishes in the land will
not help you if you stand incoming
like a locoed gander while the others
put up hay. Now the new years ush-
cred in and a lot of boys will win
fame and honor by the bushel ere it
runs it's course and dies but they
won't be standing dumb waiting for
a snap to come; they'll be busy as the
bumblers-so will you, if You are wise!
Oh, wish you peace and health, all
varieties of wealth, but don't be-
lieve you'll have them ii you don't
get out and dig; get up early in the
morn, saw your wood and shuck your
corn, write your name in golden let
tiers on the shining thingmyjig. You
will find this rule correct-every mans
the architect of his fortunes on this
planet; and while wishes help along,
he won't win the cherished goal, won't
accumulate a roll, till he goes and
does his duty with a whoopsydoodle
song!-Walt Mason.

TIE NEW AND THE OLD IN THE
NEW YEAR.

The New Year will be like all years
Tor most of us. Temptations, burden
and joy may assume new forms, but
we shall meet them with the same
spirit. bring to their solution the same
mind. and fail, If we fail at all be-
cause of the same weakness. One
thing we all must do; we must live our
life; we cannot escape from our
selves. Friends may come and go.
but each soul remains shut in behind
the impossible walls of our own per.
sonality. Our new task is therefore
the same as the old task. We must
live each with himself; in the language
of Emerson, taking himself for better
or worse. II we can find rootage for
our souls beside the rivers of God; II
we can organize and control our inner
forces so as to bring to bear upon
each task aud each temptation the en-
tire resources of our being, we shall
have a happy new year If we cannot
40 tulS We SHdh nave q 9t'o Nv" -.
We must conquer or be conquered by
the world. There is no such thing as
quarter to be asked or given. The
ship can sail the seas SO long as she
keeps the sea outside herself. And
men can overcome the world only by
shutting the world outside. The one
problem of chief import for us to learn
is how to possess our own souls. The
battle of life is always fought with
the mans own spirit. Sin in the world
is as harmless to the Christian as the
shadow of a cloud. It is sin enshrined
in the temple OF the spirit that bring.

Do you remember how, from the
fence corner. on a summer morning in
having-time, there used to come clear
sweet call, 80 Bob-White Bob
White!" with always the accent on
white? And do you also remember
the cold rainy day when you were
coming home with the cows and saw
something stir by the old stone wall,
and when you looked, discovered, un-
der some burdocks. a dozen little,
shiyering, bedraggled balls of feath-
ers, which you took home and warmed
and dried by the fire? How lively
they were. how much quicker on their
feet than chickens of the same age!
And what a flavor of wildness they
had, like papooses or piccanninnies or
a flock of beady-eyed Japanese chill
Idrenl
But what you thought of when you
heard that cali was not the sweetness
of it. nor the gentleness of the bird
that made it, but the good cunning
you were going to have that autumn.
Others, all over the southern and mid
die and eastern states thought the
same thing; and when the cool days
came, an army poured out of the cities
with shotguns and well-trained dogs
to make war on the gentlest friend the
farmers of America ever had.
The call from the fence corner is
seldom heard today. and an unpaid
helper. who earned as much as any
hired man, has left the field. You did
not know that during the summer
your little friend was busy ten or
twelve hours a day removing cut
worms, cabbage-butterfiies. cotton-boll
weevils, chinch-bugs. squash, bugs: or
that during the winter, instead of
hanging round," like the hired man,
he was picking the seeds of ragweed,
crab-grass. chickweed, plantain, pig
eon-grass and other noxious plants. In
Texas. one hundred boil weevils make
him only fair breakfast. In Pennsyl-
vania, he feels that one hundred po
tato-bugs will no more than stay his
stomach until he can get something to
eat In Kansas, his favorite luncheon
is twelve hundred chinch-bugs, in Ne
braska, two thousand Hession flies.
The number of seeds that he requires
for meal is prodigious. From ore
thousand to five thousand is not com

0 us, first of all, thyself, and add
0 what else may bring us more
0 Of thee. If the way is to be a

GOVERNOR cRUcE EULoGIZES
NEWSPAPERS.

The newspapers of Oklahoma were
paid a fine compliment by Governor
Lee Cruce at the banquet Of the Press
club, held Wednesday night.
IN an informal address the COVER
nor declared that the newspapers of
this state have done more to set Okla
homa right before the outside world
than all the other influences combined.
For the first time in his life the ex-
eeutive officer of this state had the
to speak to the newspaper
men of Oklahoma City and to tell them
of the esteem in which he held the pub
lieatons of the entire state, which
have given valuable space to correct
the misinformation that exists in other
parts of the country relative to Okla
homa
In concluding his remarks about the
power of the press and the good It has
accomplished in oklahoma the gov
ernor told of his recent trip to the
in New Jersey, at which he
was questioned about the missionaries
who had been sent from the eastern
states to work in Oklahoma.
The governor of oklahoma stated to
his inquiries that the missionaries had
a field in the east which demanded
their attention more than in oklaho-
ma, for at that time prize fighting was
being held in New York by men who
had been forced to transfer their scene
of action from Oklahoma to the east
ern metropolis, Oklahoman.

Oklahoma City again announces that
it has completed plan to start work
on the new state capitol The real
purpose of Oklahoma becomes more
apparent when the preliminary steps
are understood. The first thing pro-
posed is to vote bond issue OF
quarter of million in order to get
$100 900 to pay for 20 acres of land on
which to start the capitol building,
in order to put more value into more
land to get more money to do more
work on the capitol building. Fine
string of vaugeries, eh? Anybody who
thinks Oklahoma City will vote bond
issue of $25O.0OO for any purpose what
ever. hold up their hands.
This is just another Of those schemes
to get the foundation for capitol laid
and the state committed to the build
ing, then force the state to put up the
money to complete it.-Times-Derno-

While making resolutions for the
New Year include among them one to
attend Sunday school for at least the
first six months of 1912
The international lessons will be a
study of the life of Jesus from the four
gospels.
It matters not whether you have a
warm Christian faith or not, as per-
son of intelligence you should become
familiar with the life and works of the
only perfect Man that ever walked this
vale of tears.
The influence of Jesus can not be de-
scribed. He has been the life of ciyili-
zation as we understand it. His teach
ings are the ideal toward which all low
ers OF humanity are working.
There is no more profitable study
than the sayings and the deeds of
Jesus, which will be followed in every
Sunday school in America the coming
six months.-News-Ca Capital.

We are today entering into a new
year with all It's opportunities and pos
sibilities. Let us make the most of 1t
possible. 1t ought to be great year
for vinita and with united effort the
city ought to see growth and develop
ment along every line Of human en-
doavor. There are many signs OF pros
perity in town and country. The de-
velopment of the country is especially
encouraging. Many new farms are be-
ing opened and big crop is already
planned for the year There should
be a little swifter pace set all along
the line. Let every man try to do a
little more than he did during the year
