TO THE VOTERS

The opposition OF the two Central
City butchers to the candidacy of w.
]. Stull, the Democratic nominee for
county judge, comes through the com
petition they experienced by MIR.
Ssull selling meats and giving the
people the benefit of low PRICES. The
butchers we allude to are very active
In behalf Of Mr.. Fullerton and are
accompanying him on his campaign
trips, not because they have any
particular love or admiration for him,
but because they seek petty revenge.
Now their attitude must place the
several hundred people to whom Mr..
Stull has sold meat in very peculiar
position, for If Mr.. Smll committed
any breach of p,opritty in selling
meats, surely the voters among whom
the butchers are attempting to WELD
their influence must be equally guilty
with Mr.. Stull in buying the meats.
So the issue should not be so much
the Butchers VS.. Stull as the People
VS.. the Butchers.

MINING ITEMS
OF INTEREST
GIBSON MINE

ii. X. Wade, who is operating the
Gibson mine, one Of the Star of the
West group of mines, was happily
surprised when he returned from the
east last week and found that the
workmen had struck a body of ore
On the 25Ofoot level thaa ram $4,000
per ton.
The Gibson is one of the old mines
that produced largely years ago, but
has been idle for several years. The
shaft is about 400 feet deep. and
some six weeks ago, workmen were
employed to place a hosting plant
thereon and repair the shaft. AT the
l5Ofoot level they found streak of
goad-silNer ore that milled $4,000 per
ton. When the 250foot level was
aca'ed, workmen were put to work
stopping the ore bodies that show at
the top of drift, and already several
tons of smelling ore has been min
ed that returns $4,000 per ton, and
also many tons of concentrating ore
of lower grade.
The ore streak in bottom of level
has a shallow winze sunk upon it,
that shows the ore bodies to be larg-
er and richer as depth is gained.
Workmen are now engaged in re-
pairing the shaft to the 35O-foot lev
ell where the same conditions exist
with the exception that on this lew
ell the ore last taken out was of high
er values than at points above, SHOW
ing that the ore bodies in this mine,
like all others, increase in size and
richness as depth is gained.
The Star of the West shaft is 335
feet deep. and in the west drift on
this level, the last 100 feet have
been driven in q streak OF low-grade
ore, ranging in width from to 8
feet. By sinking winze on this ore
different grade will be encounter
ed, as past experience has, proven
that low grade ore. with depth, leads
to htgher grades.
This group consists Of four patent
| ed -dodes compris ing an area of 23
acres, surrounded by many of the
best mines in the district, some Of
which have been dividend payers for
the past fourteen years, and we be.
speak for this group bright future.

HOW PROSPERITY

To show how mining is effected,
as we'll as other lines of industry by
the great business activity tfat per-
meates the nation, we will cite an
instance that has come under our
personal Observation

THAT carries gold, silver and copper
values, sold to the smelter. ore to
the net value of $S,2l5.60. With the
present prices for silver lead and
copper, together with more favorable
treatment charges, this amount Of ore
would now return $19,072.S6. or a net
increase CT $1O,S57.26.
These figures are based on the
present prices Of silver and copper ard
all financial writer's are agreed that
at the close of the European war,
the prices OF these two metals Will
be further advanced. In other words.
now Is the time to secure valuable

CATHOLIC HOME FOR GIRLS
ROSARY HALL" BLESSED BY
THE ARCHBISHOP OF EDMoN.
TON FOR CATHOLIC WoMEN's
LEAGUE.

The members of the Catholic
Women's League of Edmonton, AL
berta, Can, rejoice in the new
quarters in which they will continue
the good work they have been
carrying on for some time. Rosary
Hall'' was blessed last week by the
Most Reverend Archbishop Legal and
its portals were thrown wide open to re-
ceive Catholic girls, strangers in the
city, or who are without home. The
Hall will be supervised by the Sis
ters of Providence from Kingston
Ont, and its purpose is outlined as
follows:
To afford a home, with pleasant
surroundings and good influences,
for Catholic business girls whose
homes are not in Edmonton; to serve
as a hostel for Catholic women and
girls who are travelling, and who may
have business in the city; to assist
girls out of employment to obtain
situations; to serve as temporary
home for girls without means, or
under-paid; to give occasional social
evenings to the Catholic working
girls of the city; to give instruction
in housekeeping, sewing and other
useful avocations. 1t is the intention
to arrange for a Travellers Aid to
meet all trains but 1t will require
some little time to develop this
feature.

FATHER HENEBRY DEAD

The death is reported at Portlaw,
County Waterford, of the Rev. DR..
Richard Henebry, one of the most
noted Irish scholars and native
speaker of Gaelic. He had deeply
studied the Irish tongue in its his
toric and pathological aspects.
He was born in County Westmeath,
Ireland, and from childhood was a
passionate lover Of Irish folklore,
traditions, archaeology and history.
He went for his Gaelic to the Arran
Islands off the coast of Galway, and
the glens of Connemara, where amid
the fishermen and farmers of pure
Celtic blood he heard the noble old
tongue in it's primitive purity and per-
lection.
For some years he was professor
of Irish at the Catholic University at
Washington, d. C. In recent years
he resided in Ireland as professor of
Irish at University College in Cork.
Father Henebry was only fifty-two
years old.

EX-PRESIDENT or ECUADOR
THE LATE ANTONIO FLORES WAS
A DEVOTED CATHOLIC, AL
GIFTED WRITER AND STATES.
MAN.

Much regret has been expressed in
Ecuador at the death Of Antonio
Flores, ex-President of that republic.
The press without distinction of party
has proclaimed the nations sorrow
and it's admiration for his personal
character. He was a gifted writer, a
learned lawyer and historian, wise
diplomat, but, above all, he was a
practical Catholic, both in his public
and private life. In a country divided
by factions and troubled with religi-
Gus differences, he succeeded in form
ing a government which respected
the rights OF the Church and was
Watchful for the interests of the
republic. Before his election to the
Presidency he was Minister Plenipo-
tentiary to the Holy See. He was
the son of a famous general of the
war of independence, Juan Jose
Flores, and his mother, Dona Mer-
cedes Jiion, was lady of noble birth
On the occasion of his election he
shrank from accepting the RESPONSE
bility, but Pope Leo XIII, who knew
his estimable character and fitness
for the position, overcame his obiec-
tiOns.

CATHOLIC SCHOOL PUPILS.
WIN HONORS IN PUBLIC ExAMI-
NATIONS IN AUSTRALIA.

Catholics in Queensland, New South
Wales, Australia, are jubilant over the
triumphs of the pupils in the schools
at the recent Junior University, civil
service and scholarship examinations,
says the Brisbane correspondent of
the Catholic Press" Considering
that they are only, roughly speaking,
twenty-five per cent of the population
and laboring under the handicap of
double education taxation, providing
their own school buildings, furniture,
books and requisites, the results are
phenomenal and sOlacing.
But glorious as the result of the
Junior University examination, what
can be said of the wonderful success
of Christian Brothers schools, when
out of fifteen vacancies in the profes-
sional division of the public service,
nine positions go to their credit?
