American Eagle Cuts
Vein at Depth.
Is we'll MINERALIZED
Is Very Important Strike for Entire
District.


Eagle mine has now reached that
point where something definate
can be determined. The first
cross-cut which is 120 ft. below
the tunnel and 200 fit. from the
surface, has entered the vein.
The vein at this point is very
strong, being from 5 to Z ft. in
width, and heavily mineralized.
The vein on the American Eagle
has a northeast and southwest
strike, and at the point where it
is cut the dip is very slight, be-
ing only 5 fit. in the 12O ft. The
vein is very free on both walls,
and on the foot wall there is
about 10 in. of tale. The work
now, is drifting both ways on
the vein.
At the point where the cross
cut entered the vein, it is about
100 ft. north of any known ore
shoot, and the fact that the ore
at the north end of the cross
cut shows heavy naturalization,
leads to the belief that a new
shoot is very close, While no
assays have as yet been made, it
is known that the ore is all OF
a milling grade, and what is re-
markable is the fact that the
vein still shows oXidization, al
though it is over 100 ft. below
the bed of Siegle creek.
AS originally planned it was
the inten ton to 60 to another
level before cutting to the vein,
but they ran short of timber
when they were down about sc
fit. below the station, and the
weather conditions being such
that it was impossible to get out
logs and saw them, so the cross.
cut was made.
The American Eagle is a mine
with a history, some of which
reads like a fairy tale. 1t was
originally worked by Spokane
company, and produced consider
able bullion. In one ore shoot
the only tellurium ore ever founC
in this section, in the form o.
petzite, was taken, that assayet
up to $4,000 to the ton. In this
same shoot some very beautiful
specimens of free gold ore were
found. This rich shoot of ore
was in the floor of the tunnel
but before arrangements coult
be made to sink, a difference be
tween two factions of stock
holders stopped all operations.
The mine was leased after i
had been idle several years, an(

SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING.

For the past, ten or fifteen years the
progress of manufacturing, mechanical
and mining industries has given promise
of fine results for the South, Offering lively
competition to those of our Northern els
ters who have been reaping go rich har-
vest of profit upon our lack of attention to
those great interests hitherto. And we
desire to direct special attention to the fact
that extention of large manufacturing es-
Establishments, however profitable, is not 90
important to the general prosperity as are
minor manufactures in tho various COM
munities to make all the articles in common
use among our people. These should be
built up, by individuals or combination of
capital and labor, in order to make our
people self-supporting and independent.
We could cite instances to illustrate the
advantages accruing from such establish
ments to individuals and whole commune
ties. Let our people learn to make all they
need and bring in capital and skilled labor,
making population who will use up our
surplus, and at the same time aid in build
ing up our industries.

There are great many guides to good
living books, sermons, songs, and human
lives.
Rarely is one so remote from one or
more of these, or so bereft of at least some
capacity for comprehension of what is near
at hand, as to be denied some assistance
in this respect.
Lives of fine mold and noble influence
have been wrought with nothing more to
guide them than such surroundings and
possessions as are common among even
the lowliest and least favored Of folk. On
the other hand, amid the most luxuriant
opportunities for mental and spiritual ad.
vancement, other lives have sunk to
depths of worthlessness.
In larger measure than most Of ia are
willing to admit, life is what we make Il.
Yet in this high business Of making our
lives we need guides and sign posts. for
often we are met by circumstances or
events which occasion doubt and breed
hesitation.
TO what shall we turn at such times?

people, Q Lord, and afflict thine heritage.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and

for anything like as much as thorough
mastery of the few branches that are Of
fundamental importance. Something must
be wrong with our present system OF in
struction, for, notwithstanding the fact
that we have in this day much wider dit.
fusion of knowledge than existed in former
decades, it is doubtful whether we have
ever had in the various walks of life such
q widespread reign of mediocrity. Our
schools must be judged by the men and
women that they turn out, and tested by
this standard it is, we think, exceedingly
questionable whether, with all their i'm
proved facilities, they have shy ground
for boastfulness.
