The Thorn i'm The Flesh.

Pauls great blessing was followed
by great troubles trouble perhaps
greater than all those that he has
been enumerating. Just what was
The thorn in the flesh" that came 10
torment him, Bible students have
never been able to determine. The
general idea of scholars has been that
it was an affliction of the eyes, oph-
thalmia, in varying forms and de-
grees, being very common in the east.
In praising the love and faithfulness
of the Galatians, Paul declares that
they would have torn out their own
eyes and given them to him. When
he rebuked the high priest for
shifting him and then said, 81 wist
not, brethren, that he was the high
priest" there is an indication that
he was very near-sighted, for the
high priests regalja was unmistal;-
able. There is another strong indi-
cation of partial blindness which is
clearly brought out in the American
revision: See with how large let
ters / write unto you with mine own
hand" Here is picture of the half
blind apostle, bending over his parch-
ment or papyrus, making big letters
that he could see. In fact, this ar..
fiction might almost be inferred
from Paul's terrible experience in
Damascus, when he was blind for
three days as a result of the splen-
dor of the heavenly vision.
The great value of this episode in
Paul's life is entirely independent OF
our knowledge of what the afiliction
was. II is the great classical an
5"-r TO the w.-t.ul, Cyor-ruourrius
question: "Why are my pIavcrs uot
answered. The answer is that the
prayers are answered; answered in
a better way than we had thought
possible. Paul asked for more ply
sical power; he got greater spiritual
power. He was very glad after all
that it turned out this way. He re-
joiced then in the weakness, because
il made way for the power OF Christ.

Traffic Manager of the O.-W. RS N. Says
No Contract Let to Build up Pine Creek

pie of Pine creek and of the district
/ in general. Many weeks ago the
Miner received information from u
source which it regarded absolutely
reliable that the O.-W. X. Il n. com
pany had awarded Il contract to Two
Thy brothers, builders of The Beave,
creek branch, to construct the Pine
creek branch. the work to begin as
early as practicable in the spring, The
Miner still believes this information
was correct. and that the statement
to the contrary made by Mr., Robin
son is due to change of plans of the
company based upon other considera-
| tions than the question of tonnage
The company has Just completed a
branch up Beaver creek, built under
most severe weather conditions The
tonnage question is equally import
ant in connection with that branch,
and the amount in sight when con-
struction began and is today much
lass than that produced by Pine creek,
The ore shipments from both sections
ditons will be felt in the same pro-
portion In both. Why. then. is the
O.-W. r. & N. so exacting in the mat
ter Of ore In sight when dealing with
Pine creek, and was willing to take a
long chance on Beaver creek? Evil
IDENTIFY there are other considerations
outside of tonnage in sight that play
a part in deciding where the company
will build and where 1t will not build.
So far as the prices of the metals
ere concerned and the influence they
the railroad company must know that
mine operators on Pine creek are not
spending large sums in developing ore
bodies, building mills and putting in
other expensive equipment with the
expectation that they will always
have war prices for their product.
They are figuring on operating their
at a profit on a basis of
normal metal prices, ana II with thelf
and practical knowledge of
the cost of mining, they are going
ahead with the investment of large
sums for the development and equip
ment of their properties, it is impos-
sible to see wherein the O.W. r. &
n. company is assuming any great
i.l, in, tan .,ft afl, Ia
serve them. 1t assumed the risk on
Beaver creek with less tonnage in
sight; why does the company turn
down Pine creek?
But Pine creek need not despair.
The ore is there and it is going to be
mined and marketed, and some rail-
road company is going up there to get
the business.

Company Expects to Be Shipping Ore
by the End of the Year.
A brief, but nevertheless interesting
statement from the management OF
the Alameda Mining company is made
in connection with the notice of as
sessment just sent out to stockhold-
ers. 1t is to the effect that the por-
tion of the vein that is in controversy
with the Success company Is relative
ly small and that the much greater
length on the vein, over which there
is no dispute, gives promise of de-
veloping a profitable mine, and that
'it is believed that the company will
be able to ship ore before the end of
the year" This announcement is
signed by Frederick Burbidge, vice
president. 1t Is also explained that
the assessment of one cent was made
to pay UP outstanding Indebtedness as
we'll as to carry on development work
and that subsequent assessments will
be for only half a cent. The cross
cut has been advanced over 1900 feet,
leaving 500 or 600 feet to go to reach
the vein. This should be completed
early in the summer.

without foundation by Stanly A. Eas-

TO meet the ever increasing de-
mands of the district, the O.-W. r. &
\. company has announced that be-
ginning April ] the company will in
augurate Il special motor car passen-
ger service between Wallace and Ena-
vile, having four trains each way n
day. This with the two regular trains
will give practically a passenger ser
vice every two hours, which will prove
of great advantage to the people of
Wallace and the territory west of
this city. The motor cars are extern
sively used by the company on other
parts of the system and have proved
very popular. Each car will accom-
modate about 70 passengers. The
company Is deserving of commenda
tion for it's action in meeting the re-
quirements of the district, and there
is no doubt that the public will re
spond with a heavy passenger trahit
from the beginning of the service.

fine bunch of copper ore was en-
no Nevada Exploration company this
week. The extent of the ore had not
been determined yesterday, 1t was
struck along the foot wall and is in
the form of chalcopyrite, samples of
which appeared to be probably s or
TO per cent copper. The property Of
fhe company was formerly known as
the Castle Rock and is located on
Placer creek, about two and a half
miles from this city. The east drift
where this ore was encountered, has
been extended so feet from the bot
tom of the 20O-foot shaft. The west
drift has been advanced 12O feet
Much water is coming into the face
of this drift while in the east it is al
most dry. A large amount OF iron
has recently made it's appearance,
and in view of the showing of ore in
the drift above it is believed that it
is not far away in the lower level

The company has experienced much
delay in getting the new electric
pump. hoist and electric power in
stalled, and as a consequence small
progress was made during the last
few months. All equipment is now
in good working order and shift is
working in each drift and making
satisfactory progress. 1t is fortunate
that electric power was installed, for
while the company has valuable wa
ter power, the long and cold winter
has reduced the supply of water un-
til there is not sufficient to run the

In his report just issued to the
stockholders of the Benton Mining
company Manager John Callahan an
nCunces that the company has taken
a lease and bond on the entire stock
Of the Trade Dollar company, the
property of which consists of 6 claims
lying directly north of the Benton
This is a valuable acquisition to the
holdings of the Benton. The consid-
Grafton is not given, but it Is stated
that the first payment of $1,000 has
been made. 1t Is stated that when
work was suspended a drift was being
run on >favorable looking vein, and
that near the face a quartz vein
crosses in a northwest and southeast
direction, which will be prospected
upon the resumption of work, which
may not be for six weeks. The delay
in resumption is said to be due to d
snowslide that fills the gulch below
the dump, rendering it practically i'm
possible to deliver supplies at the
mine until mild weather takes IL
away. The report of the manager is
accompanied by a complete financial
statement by the secretary treasurer.

Company Gets Returns on Rich Car
load of Crude Ore.
Fred Bergen, superintendent of the
Hypotheek, accompanied by Mrs. Ber-
gen, was in the city Monday and
Tuesday Mr.. Bergen reports opera
tions at the mine progressing very
satisfactorily. The ore showing above
the 100 continues fine, and the show
ing in the WinZe from the 100 con-
tinues encouraging, ore being con-
tinuous, but varying in amount. the
mill Is running two shifts and car
load of ore or concentrates is being
shipped about every other day. Short
age of water and the heavy tax on
the hoist in handling waste in addi-
ton to the ore accounts for the mill
not running full time. The crosscut
from the 900 has not reached the par
allel vein, and it is possible that con =
siderably further may have to be run
on account of change in the dip OF the
vein.
Manager OLSON stated Tuesday
that lie had just received returns for
shipment of fifty tons of crude
ore which netted $4S23.33, and there is
more of the same kind coming up.

Frank w. Robinson, traffic manager
of the O.-W. II. 4 N. and II. +
Lounsbury, general freight agent OF
the company, both with headquarters
in Portland, arrived in the city Tues,
cay in the traffic managers private
car. The afternoon was spent in call
ing on business men of the city in
company with w. r. Skey. distric,
freight and passenger agent. In~re-
sponse TO IA question Mr.. Robinson
stated that his visit was merely In
line with his custom and that of 9TH
er general officers to make periodical
trips to the territory served by the
company as a means of keeping in
close touch with conditions with the
view to maintaining the service at
the highest standard of efficiency. Re-
ferrng to business he said it was
good on all CIV. R. & n. lines and
trict. This was true of this district
before the European war, when the
Occur d'Alenes was the one bright
SPOT on the entire system, and since
the war it has fully retained it's high
rating from the standpoint of railroad
business Mr. Robinson said he fully
realized the annoyance caused the
shippers of the district through the
prolonged car shortage, and that he
was glad to be able to announce that
relief was in sight. Within 80 days
many more cars would be released on
the Union Pacific, where they have
been held up by snow blockade which
is now being rapidly broken and the
ears would soon be moving west. In
cidentally he remarked that coal deal
ers could assist materially in pre-
venting a repetition of the trouble by
putting in larger stocks in the sum
mer or early fall.
Asked regarding the construction of
a branch up Pine creek, Mr.. Robinson
stated that no contract had been
awarded and that no definite decision
had been reached in regard to the ex-
tention. The company stands ready,
he said to meet the requirements of
the business of the district but in
the matter of building new lines the
must be in evidence to justi-
fy the heavy outlay and operating ex-
pense. The question is not what tom
mage is coming out of Pine creek now,
but rather what will the tonnage be
when metal prices return to a normal
level. That is the question that con-
fronts the railroad company, and up
on which the building Of the Pine
creek branch depends.
The statement made by Mr.. Robin
son regarding the Pine creek branch
is decidedly disappointing to the peo-

SINK NATIONAL SHAFT
TO FIND BETTER ORE
BELIEVE GREATER DEPTH WILL
DISCLOSE ORE OF PROFIT
ABLE GRADE.

At meeting of the board of direct
ors o. the National Copper Mining
company held in this city last Mon
day afternoon an assessment of
cent per share was levied as a means
of providing funds for a resumption
of operations at the property. The
expense of maintaining the property
in idleness, which includes taxes, in
surance, watchmen, etc, is estimated
at the neighborhood of $4,000 per
year, and the decision to develop the
mine further in the hope of finding
ore that will return a profit is in line
with a sound business policy and will
doubtless meet the approval of stock
holders generally. Accompanying the
notice of assessment the directors
make the following statement;
Seek Better Ore.
while operating the National mill
on the ore we now have developed we
found it was impossible to make a
profit. Since closing down, your di-
rectors have had numerous requests
from large and small stockholders
asking that an attempt be made to
find better ore at greater depth. In
view of the large amount of money
invested in this enterprise your di-
rectors have decided to raise suni-
cient funds by means of assessments
to sink the shaft 800 or 400 feet deep
er and thoroughly prospect the vein
at that depth in hopes of finding ore
of enough higher grade to make it n
profitable operation"
The operations of the property viii
be under the management of Charles

and one of the largest owners. The
work will be under the immediate di-

This is Food Pledge week.
Have you signed the card? By
placing your name to this card
you are doing a patriotic duty
and you do not agree to eat less
than you should, but to eat wise
| ly and not waste. The food prob
lem is one of the greatest now
confronting America. The Uni
| ted States must reed her allies
during the coming winter by
sending them as much food as
she can of the most nutritlve
value in the least shipping space
We area sked to consume less
wheat bread, beef, pork, dairy
products and sugar, and instead
eat more of other foods, and by
wasting less of all foods. It is
suggested by the Food Admins
traitor that we eat more vege-
tables, especially potatoes and
fruit, poultry, etc., as these can
not be shipped without immense
cost, and the saving of ocean
tonnage is one of the vital prob
lens with which the country
must deal.
BY signing this card and ad-
herring strictly to the pledge
which it enjoins, the 22,0O0,0D0
housewives of the country will
aid more than any other agency
in providing adequate supplies
for the coming yeaR In no other
way can the women of the ma
ton give better and more eff
Gent service to their govern
ment. Will they do it? Will the
good women of this city and
all other sections of the county
do it.
