RISE AND FALL of SAWBILL.
The End Came With Rush When the
Gold Vein Vanished.

The End Came With a Rush When the
Gold Vein Vanished.
Far from the railroad and more than
forty miles away from the nearest
white resident, hidden In the wilds Of
one of the most picturesque parts Of
the province of Ontario, Canada, spec
ter like, stands the deserted village Of
Sawbill, once bustling mining camp
where several hundred men were en-
ployed.
The end came suddenly. Tools were
dropped where workmen were install
ing a dynamo; dishes and furniture
and household goods were left as they
were when the word came that the
mine had closed. The books end on
July 81, 1901. The store was left with
its stock of goods ON the shelves, the
hotel closed Its doors, its contents in
tact. and the postoffice ceased to be.
Only Waterman was left.
Sawbill grew out Of a gold strike.
The ledge, reported fabulously rich,
quickly gave out when real mining was
attempted. A road was built through
the wilderness, power house was
erected, q forty stamp mill went up
along with hotel. store, postoff1ce and
many buildings for the employees. On
Aug. Is, 1899, the electric lights were
turned on. The telephone line was
opened. The water rushed through the
huge flume across the lake, the giant
turbine revolved. the dynamo hummed,
and the power for operating the mines
machinery was at hand.
But the 5000 per ton output Of the
little mill first installed proved to be
only a deceptive lure for all the dol
lars that were poured into the enter
prise. When the big mill did run the
greatest amount of gold obtained per
ton was said never to have exceeded
$1.87. The shafts were sunk deeper.
new ones were opened. but the wide
veins of ore which showed on or near
the surface narrowed to thin ribbons

tanned could not begin to pay the Oper
ating expenses.

ROSE TINTS AT SUNSET.
Why They Show on Snow Capped BUT
Not on Wooded Mountains.

Why They Show on Snow Capped but
Not on Wooded Mountains.
Mountain peaks of such height as
to be capped perpetually with snow
or even of gray, bare crags will take
on the most delicate of rose tints at
sunset, although during a fair day
they have been blue tinted.
This is because some of the rays
of the sun have a greater penetra-
ton than others. For instance, dur
ing the day the blue rays are able
to reach the mountain tops and give
the hazy BLUSH tint to mountain
ranges, but at the setting of the sun
it's blue rays are not able to pene-
trate the increasing distance, leav-
ing the more powerful yellow and
red rays unmingled with the blue.
Gradually, as the sun sinks in the
west, all the other color rays are
left behind-that is, they are un-
able to penetrate to the same depth
as the yellow and red, and so these
latter rays mingle and light the
mountain peaks.
Seen through the great space Of
air which always contains a guam
tity Of minute particles, these yell
low and red rays blend and give to
snow capped mountains the won
derful rose tints. By watching these
sunset tints it will be seen that
finally the delicate rose tint disap-
pears and the peaks actually take on
a crimson color. But this lasts only
few moments. It means that the
sun has so far set that even the yell
low rays cannot penetrate, leaving
for brief moment the red rays
alone, and these rays Of light sud
denly hold the mountain peaks all
to themselves, making them Grim
son.
With mountains that are wooded
this phenomenon does not occur, as
the colors blending with the green
of, vegetation lose their power to
make the delicate tints.-New York

Nations and Their Feet.

National characteristics are ap-
parently impressed upon every part
of the body; even the feet are found
to vary with the nationality. The
French foot is narrow and long.
The Spanish foot is small and ele-
gantly curved, thanks to its Moorish
blood, corresponding to the Cas-
tilian's pride of being "high in the
instep." The Arabs foot is proven
bal for its high arch. The Koran
says that a stream of water can run
under the true Arabs foot without
touching it. The foot of the Scotch
is high and thick, that of the Irish
fiat and square, the English short
and fleshy. When Athens was in
her zenith the Grecian foot was the
most perfectly formed and exactly
proportional of any of the human
race. Swedes, Norwegians and Ger
mans have the largest feet, Ameri-
cans the smallest.-London Family
Doctor.

Queer Eskimo Customs.

Every ten years the Eskimos hold
the dance to the dead, when ghosts
are supposed to come out OF their
collins and visit the Kos-ga, where
they are given a feast and retire
well filled for another ten years.
Sometimes the food is taken to the
burying ground to save the spirits
the trouble of moving. When a
child is born among the islanders
it takes the name of the last de-
ceased member of the family, and
on it devolves the duty of feeding
its foster fathers spirit. The Esh-
mos have horror of being childless,
because their spirits will anguish
and their name be forgotten AS
they say, "S'pose no mik-a-nina a!
(children)-ghost plenty hungry"
Often an Eskimo will beggar him
self giving a great feast in honor
of his illustrious ancestor, but he
gains great renown thereby and
places all his visitors under lifelong
obligations to him.-Wide World.

He Settled Il,

Two dignifed clergymen Of diff
ferent persuasions were by accident
dining at the same house. As they
took their seats there was an en-
barrassed pause, the hostess not
knowing how to ask one minister
to say grace without offending the
other.
The small son quickly grasped
the situation and, half rising in his
chair, moved his finger rapidly
around the table, reciting, "Eny
meme miny mo, catch a niger by
the toe" He ended by pointing his
finger at one minister and shouting,
"You're itw
The decision was accepted, al
though the grace lacked some Of its
usual dignity.-Exchange.

THE CURRENCY BILL

The currency bill which has
been introduced in Congress has
the approval of President Wilson
and it has many commendable
features. It is copied some
what after the famous Aldrich
bill which was recommended in
financial report some years ago.
The present bill however, places
the control of the currency alb
solutely in the hands of the
Government, instead of in Wall
street as heretofore and it en-
ables the money of the country
to expand quickly and easily in
response to the demands of ac'
tive business. The currency
bill is a non-partisan measure
and will no doubt receive over
whelming support when it is
voted on in Congress and should
become a law as quickly as
possible.

How Fish Are Drowned.

Paradoxical as it may seem, fish
have been drowned, just as human
beings have been smothered by a
too great pressure of air. One ex-
pertinent consisted in putting fish
into settler water, which brought
about death by suffocation. If liv-
ing and healthy fish be put into wa
ter recently boiled, from which have
been driven all the gases ordinarily
present in distilled water, the fish
dies in the same way.-Harper's.

Editor Peter j. Savage of the
Iron Pioneer in an editorial
headed IAN Iridescent Dream"
in the last issue of his paper
raps some of tie Chequamegon
Bay papers for the agitation
started oy them to establish an
inter-county fair at Ashland
Junction. Bro. Savage says
that Ashland's stand is not to
wondered at for Ashland is the
only town near the proposed
site and the lions share of what
ever direct or indirect benefits
to accrue would be hers.
The town of Iron River has
for years conducted the Bayfield,
County fair and it has grown to
be one of the biggest county
fairs in the northern part of the
state. This has been brought
about by the untiring efforts of
the people of Iron River and the
help given them by the County
Board. The Bayfield, county
fair has other fairs held in the
northern part of the state "beat
a mile" and it is no wonder that
the people of Iron River kick
when an attempt is made to take
the fair from them.
Ashland Junction IS no place
for fair for it has no facilities
for taking care of a crowd and
Ashland's efforts to maintain a
fair have never proven very
successful. If the fair grounds
are to be moved then Washburn
is the logical place for them,
otherwise let them remain at
Iron River where the people be-
lieve in keeping them up.
