MR.. EDISON INVITED
TO BEGIN OPERATIONS.

EdisoDs declaration that he ha,
solved the problem of working low
grade ores has opened the way t.
large possibilities in mining for the
precious metals. Just what he is abe
to accomplish is not rightly under
stood. If he has said he can do GER
tain things the public has learned
by his record, that he can accom-
plish all he says. There is no need
specializing on the subject; but what
have the mines to show to aid him
in producing sufficient ore to meet
the requirements of his revolutionary
system? He would require enormous
quantities to keep his plant engaged.
1t is hoped that the process is one
that handles ores like those princi-
pally found in this and the adjoin-
ing county. 1t has been asserted that
he favors Clear Creek county as a
place suited for the erection Of a
plant. 1t must be that there is a
greater combination of ores to be
a more inviting field than that afford.
ed in this county, provided he is
desirous of procuring rock that has
the greater number of minerals with
gold generaly predominating. The
gold, silver, copper ard lead contain
ed in rcck here would give him an
abundance Of material on which to
work.Some districts only produce one
of these and may not equal in value
the quantity found in ton OF ore
from here that contains all of the
above mentioned minerals. There are
places that put out almost exclusive
ly copper; some nothing but lead,
others are silver camps. but Gilpin
disrtict can supply him with all these
in one piece of rock.
For Mr.. Edison to extract ninety
per cent Of all the metals found in
the ore Of this district at cost less
than ever charged by any process, is
to make a district like this fairly
alive with men ready to furnish all
the ore needed. There may be many
mines here with a lot of low-grade
ore waiting for the introduction of
is not already in evidence, it would
no doubt be readily produced. There
is. no telling, Just. what the district
can perform, but low charge for
frn
an abundance of ore of the kind
stated-gold, silver, copper, lead
and some zinc, but not much of that,
not just at present. The miners are
eager to supply the new process with
all the ore needed.

Dutch Courage.

Bootleggers operate in Oklahoma
to some extent and generally make
the whiskey they sell. It is known
locally as forty-rod stuff, because it
is guaranteed to kill at that distance.
In case in Durant, where the
quality Of the whiskey was in ques-
ton, 1t was explained to the court
how dynamic it is. A Durant man, it
seems, took home a pint Of the mix
ture. He spilled little Of it on the
floor of his shack. A rat came out
Of hole in the wall, took q sip
and went back. In minute the rat
came out again, took another sip
and retired to his hole. Presently
the rat came out and took third
sip. Then, instead Of refreshing to
it's hole, the rat stood up on its hind
legs, waved it's forefeet in the air,
gritted it's teeth and squeaked:
"Now where is that damn cat!"

I don't like to see ladies wear satin
for dress,
When their husbands are bankrupt
and In great distress.
They had better be at home washing
the. dishes,
Mending the stockings and their hus-
bands old breeches.
don't like to see young ladies' wear
tight hobble skirts,
Bare heads. short sleeves and low
neck shirts;
They'd look much better to dress
cozy and neat,
And cover their persons from their
heads to their feet.
/ don't like to see old men that wore
the Confederate grey,
Loaf on the streets and around the
postoffice all day.
Boosting and swearing and telling
what they say,
And how many Yankees they killed in

I don't like to see business men
