[The Phoenix Pioneer]
BC Historical Newspapers
Devoted to the interests of the Boundary Mining District. The Phoenix Pioneer was published in Phoenix, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from April 1898 to May 1916. The Pioneer was published by the Pioneer Publishing Company, which was managed by W. B. Wilcox (from 1899-1908) and Thomas Alfred Love (from 1908-1911). On August 12th, 1910, the headquarters of the Pioneer burned down, together with a large portion of the town of Phoenix itself, and the paper consequently suffered serious financial difficulties. On April 11th, 1911, the Pioneer was sold to Gilbert Kay, who published and edited the paper until May 1916. The paper was published under a variant title, the Phoenix Pioneer and Boundary Mining Journal, both from 1903-1910 and from 1911-1912.

(Sgd.)" "F. H. SHERMAN, "Pres. District 18, U. M. W. of A. Sllaalieo la tbe Boundary. There is no change i 11 the situation in the Boundary. Nothing was done at the conference held in Phoenix last week Friday, between the local operators and miners unions, regarding the asked for increase of 50 cents per day in wages. The meeting" adjourned to meet again in two weeks���which means some time next week, if all goes well. In the meantime the managers will consult with their principals as to what can be done, and most of the mines in the Boundary are idle for the time being. It is the belief that a common ground for agreement can be and will be found, now that the coke situation is beginning to clear up, and that, while it may be a little time yet before smelters can resume, when they do, the wage question will have been definitely agreed on for the future. The agreement referred to, which readjusts wages and schedules, and gives an advance of 5 per cent generally, is signed by the following: The Western Coal Operators' association, G. G. S. Lindsey, president; Lewis Stockett, vice-president; W. F. Little, secretary. The Pacific Coal Co., Ltd., H. W. McNeill, general manager. The Breckenridge-Lund Coal Co., Ltd., J.

McDonald, secretary; P. Patterson, international board member. The agreement is dated May 4. The coal strike'is thus a thing of the past, and men aire resuming work at the several colleries. It will, however, be two or three or more weeks before coke beginsXto arrive at the smelters at the regular rate, as many men have scattered,��^nd the railways must be supplied first. SOME 250 MEN ON RAILWAYS Now Employed This Camp* In Both C.P.R. and Great Northern Hard at It. START WORK ON SUDBURY Electric Hoist Ordered For Mine. President Shiewe Tells of Company's Plans. Saturday evening two of the officials of the newly formed ^Sudbury Mining Co., arrived in Phoenix, from Spokane, for the purpose of starting active development work on the property of the company, which, is located in Deadwood camp. :��� j.James Schiewe, the president of the company, was in the party, teams being taken the next morning to visit the property. On the return Mr. Schiewe informed the Pioneer man that.work was being started at once on the mine, and that a contract had been made with E. G. Warren, of the Greenwood City Waterworks Co., for a 20-h,p. electric hoist, which it was expected could be delivered in 30 days, and that the same company would furnish the electric current for the operation of the hoist. Mr. Graham has been placed in charge at the mine, and the work of building the electric feed line is being started without delay. This 5cnetrwin-run-fxom the Elkhorn mine, now operated by electricity, it being but a short distance over the hill Irom the Elkhorn to the Sudbury. The Sudbury, located but two claims from the Sunset mine of the Dominion Copper Co., has a promising showing of copper ore, and the new company proposes to go right after it, and find out what it amounts to. There is a 60-foot shaft on the property, and also an incline shaft, the electric hoist to be installed at the latter, and development will follow along the lead. The Mother Lode spur of the C. P. R. runs within three hundred yards of the Sudbury, Mr. Schiewe states, and the grading is easy, so that it will be a simple matter to run a sidetrack right up to the Sudbury ore dump when development is sufficiently advanced. Although little is doing at the large copper mines in this camp, directly due to the lack of coke at two of the district smelters���the Granby and Dominion���the improvements undertaken by the C.P.R. and Gri^at Northern, in the shape of more extensive trackage facilities for the local mines, are being steadily pushed, and something like 250 men are engaged in this work. T. J. Gallagher has upwards of 100 men employed in the heavy rock work necessary in the construction of the new Great Northern spur, a mile and a half in length, to connect with the new Victoria shaft headworks of the Granby Consolidated, and . with the snow all gone, no time is being lost in crowding the contract. Mr. Gallagher should have his contract pretty well completed by the end of Juiy. W. P. Tierney has the contract for the C. P. R.'s extensive sidetrack facili ties for the Dominion Copper Co.'s Rawhide mine, some 4,000 feet long' adjoining the Sno wshoe and Gold Drop mines on the east side of Phoenix camp. Mr. Tierney, who also began work before the snow was entirely gone, has over a hundred men on his payroll here, and is making every effort to push things along and get the work completed at the earliest possible date. He has, like Mr. Gallagher on the west side of the camp, considerable heavy rock work, and his able bodied Italians are making it. fly. Four months more should see his contract well on towards completion and the steel laid, as well, by the C. P. R. extra gang. The C. P. R: spur to the ne\v"Vic-; toria shaft of the Granby Co. has been completed and the steel put down, though the ballasting is yet to be done. .'.������';-.'T-w.o.SVeddlDS*..this Week. {���" Last'Tuesday }.: .Qliver Blair, manager for W-.

MfMMM At Iflimfcarg MintB This week the new electric hoist the Morrison mine was started. amnua ***0m0*&t*ww*ur**v* Among the Railway Men. To the British Columbia Copper Co. belongs the distinction of being able to operate its smelter and mines for two weeks while all the other large copper producers in the Boundary are idle for lack of coke. Two furnaces have been operated steadily up to the present, getting excellent results, but from the coke outlook . it is absolutely certain that Manager McAllister must order the plant blown out very shortly. For two weeks one of the furnaces has been "fed by 'hand shovelling from the coke stock pile, which is a slow and expensive process and would not be undertaken if but one furnace was m commission, it not being economical smelter practice. Little or no coke has been coming in. of late to this smelter, and the stock pile is being rapidly depleted, it being but a question of days till the B. C. Copper Co.'s smelter and Mother Lode mine join-the 'other temporarily idle concerns of the Boundary. It was hoped the coal miners' strike���settled this week���would terminate in time so that this smelter could tide over till fresh coke supplies began to arrive. But this may take three weeks, more or less. This week the wires of the Cascade Water, Power & Light Co., the pioneer hydro-electric concern ot ihe Boundary, were connected up with those of the South Kootenay I'nwer Co.,in Phoenix, this event marking the absorption of the former concern by the West Kootenay Power and Light Co., the parent concern of the South Kootenay Power Co. This will give hut one power company operating in the Boundary, and a strong one, that- can furnish all the cheap mining and smelting power needed in this section for many years to come, no matter to what extent the industry may expand. In 1897 a charter was obtained by Ti'j. Jones, D. E. Campbell and G. H. Haynes, of Victoria, to use 150,000 miners' inches of water, to be taken from Kettle river,' to sell power within a radius of 40 miles of Cascade. This charter was sold to the Dominion Mining, Agency and Development. Co., and by this company to the London & B. C. Goldfields, Ltd., the Cascade Water, Power and Light Co. having been meanwhile formed to carry on the business. The London people finished up the power plant, which was started in 1898, and spent about $500,000 in the work, including high- tension transmission lines lo Grand Forks, Phoenix and Greenwood. In the winter of 1905, however, power was short during the low water season, and the mines of the Boundary were much hampered. In consequence, the West Kootenay Power & Light Co., securing contracts from Boundary mines and smelters, started building a line some 70 or 80 miles across the mountains from its plant at Bonninglon Falls on Kootenay river. But it was found that it did not have legal right to sell power in the Boundary because of the Cascade company's exclusive charter. Something like $256,000 was offered, and $500,000 asked for the Cascade plant and lines. Eventually the parties got together, as announced, and it is now all one concern���the lamb has laid down inside the lion. The sale ivas authorized at an extraordinary general meeling of ihe Cascade shareholders, held April 30th, and has now been carried into eilect. Every large mine and smelter in the Boundary will now be served by the West Kootenay concern at a cost per horse power said to be less than $40 per annum. 2 BOUNDARY DIVIDENDS. NAME OF COMPANY. at More rich ore is going out of that free-gold producer, the Bay mine. This time it is to be two cars. The work of installing the electric pump at the Brooklyn mine of the Dominion Copper Co. was about completed this week. A number of cars of coke, that have been en ioute some time from the collieries, have been straggling around to the Granby smelter this week. The new electric air compressor, ordered by the Dominion Copper Co. for the Sunset mine, Deadwood camp, arrived in the Boundary this week. The story is going the rounds, as yet, without official confirmation, that an amalgamation is being arranged by the Waterloo and Fontenoy owners, in Camp McKinney, and that the Waterloo is to start the mill before long. Evidently things are looking up in old McKinney. Yesterday was the regular monthly payday in this camp for April, but it did not amount to much, as most of the men who were laid off last week drew their time at that time���incidentally making the force at the Eastern Townships Bank here work 15 or 20 hours per day for several days, no warning having been given. It also made the bank manager do some hustling on short notice to secure a supply of ready cash. It is expected that the stamps at the Cariboo mill, camp McKinney, will be dropping before the end of this month. On account of inability to ship ore already hoisted, the force at the Skylark mine has been reduced to three men for the time being. Knight & Stone have sent two crews of diamond drill men to the Nickel Plate mine, Camp Hedley, where the firm has a contract for a lot of holes. Page Boyles has been doing diamond drilling in the Boundary for two and a half years, most of the time for thc Granby Co. Just now the only work he has on hand is at the Elkhorn mine. One lonely drill was in operation at the Granby mines this week, that on the 200-foot contract of Dan Matheson, R. D. Mitchell and partners on the long Curlew tunnel. If reports are correct, a deal has been made for the Carmt mine, up the West Fork, with a newly formed English company, the mine and mill to be restarted at no distant date. E. H Thruston, owner, is supposed to have engineered the transfer. During the month of April the two furnaces of the B. C. Copper Co.'s smelter made an average of treating 662.7 tons each per every 24 hours, the month's total being a new record for this smelter���34,239 tons of ore. Besides this, 212 tons of matte were smelted. The C.P.R. has managed to get all the coal necessary thus far to move the little traffic necessary into and out of the Boundary. It is understood that the apprupri- tion of the C. P. R. for the extensive Rawhide mine spur improvements, now going on, was $120,000. Work was started this week on relaying the -steel on the C. P. R. Phoenix branch. The 56-pound steel is beiug replaced by 78-pound rails. This week the Great Northern has been running practically nothing but passenger trains into Phoenix, and the C.P.R. did just about the same thing It is almost time for the announcement of the usual summer schedule on the C. P. R., when it will likely take two days to travel between Greenwood and Phoenix by rail, either way. The Kettle Valley Line railway track is now laid ihrough Grand Forks and as soon as the road bed is completed, which will be in a few days' time, the regular passenger trains will run into the city. News of the washing of the coach used on the C. P. R. White Win^s Limited, between Phoenix and Eholt, is understood to have reached the car accountant's office at Winnipeg, and to have created a profound impression there. Among the enterprises assisted by subsidies at the recent session of the Dominion parliament was the inuch- talked of Midway S: Vernon railway, which got a plum to the tune of $3,200 per mile for the 150 miles between Midway and Vernon. Those who should know, assert that tins means to a certainty the resumption of construction operations���whenever that may happen. The subsidy referred to.is practically a renewal of sidy previously granted. Cariboo-McKlnney���gold Granby Consolidated���copper.

With labor conditions settled in the Crow and in the Boundary, and a plentiful supply of coke assured, who can say where the production of ore in the Boundary will stop? M Stomach Troubles. s. Sue ���Martin, an old and ���highly is ihe method to be adopted: Moisten with either salt water or salt water in which oxalic acid has been dissolved, a mixture containing one part coal and three parts ashes, and a better fuel than pure coal is obtained. The ashes of anthracite coal burn as readily as do ihose of bituminous coal. This mixture will, upon being placed upon a burning fire, fuse into a coke-like mass and deposit little residue. The salt water may be obtained by the dissolu- lion of common salt in water. Has Stood the Test The approval of the public is the final test of merit.

Secured, drid the mines can be once more opened up in full blast. "A" conference was held by the parties interested last week Friday, but nothing definite is given out regarding what was "doneaT that time, other than that another meeting would be held some time next week. At the conference" the three miners' unions were represented���Grand Forks,Green- Wood and Phoenix���and all the large companies operating in this section were" also represented. ' .trV tKe last few years the cost of living has increased from 10 to 25 per cent in the Boundary���so the average merchant will tell you himself. His goods cost, him more, and he must chaVge more for them, arid he doe's. Therefore, it is reasonably certain that the men will resume work at an increased.: scale of wages, a scale that will; if agreed on as asked, average about 14 per cent higher ail round. ft is asserted that'this means not more than one-half cent per pound in the increased cost of producing copper in this district. While we cannot speak Officially for either side, tKere is every reason to believe that a common ground for. agreement can be found, as it has always been found in the past in the Boundary, and that the interruption to shipping Ore and producing copper will lastntJlonp.er thanis unavoid able by the non-receipt of coke at the district smelters. The Greenwood Times sententiously remarks that "Lawyers are all right on a bill of costs, but they are failures as managers of coal mines." This should be interesting reading to G.G S. Lindsay, manager of the Crow's Nest Coal Co., Ltd. One has often heard that Dame Fortune is a fickle damsel, and the proof comes not infrequently. For instance, the La'rder Lake country, 90 miles north of the much boomed Cobalt district, in New Ontario,- is now receiving a lot of' attention, due to new discoveries such as 25 lb. gold nuggets, etc. In fact, some 3,000 claims are reported to have been staked there already, in a short time���and no one knows how many more since the report was published. Yet today there are men in Phoenix who, a year ago, camped for weeks on the shores of Larder Lake, and found nothing worth while at that time. If they had staked a few prospects then, the chances are they couid have sold them several times over before this. TRUTHFUL JAMES MINING COMPANV. Good Sample of Ihe Genuine Wildcat's Simple Prospectus. A recent issue of the Canadian Mining Journal, of Toronto, prints what it facetiously styles the "Prospectus of the Truthful James Mining Company." In these days, when there are so many similar concerns unloading reams of worthless mining shares on the public, it is not too ,,much to say that this prospectus is fully as intelligible'and satisfactory as rnany that are put forth to lure the hard-earned dollars from th-; unwary. Following is the document in full; '���-.'������''���'.,������'"' The directors of this company expect to make ten times their money out ol the public, as they do not contemplate putting their own hard-earned money into any mining enterprise. So far the company has two mining properties, for which' they, paid a total of $130. Property No. 1 cost them $100, and property No. '2, $30, besides two bottles of whiskey for the embarassed prospector from whom they bought the claims. Already about $37 worth of work has heen done on property No. ��� at an expenditure of $480. The D.J. Matheson 3nsiu'ance Hgent FIDELITY BONDS, K1KIS, IAVK ANH ACCIDHNT. PI���VTK GIAKS COMMISSIONER.

Early this tveek the good news came that'the troubles between the operators arid coal miners in the Crow's Nest Pass coal fields, had been amicably settled and that the men had endorsed the settlerVieirit'of tHeir representatives by a referendum vote. All of wh'ch was received with a good deal of satis- the cok�� faction by the miners, metalliferous shortige at the district smelters, to* operators and business interests of the Which reminds us of an incident that occurred when we reached Slocan City in the summer of 1897. The previous winter the Slocan had been having a veritable boom, which, for that matter, was still on at that time. Anything in the line of, a. mineral lo- cation.could be sold readily at prices that were satisfactory to the prospector and newcomers were biting as fast as the bait could be set before them. "Why," said one prospector to the writer; "see that piece of rock there," pointing to a piece of good looking galena; "I sold five claims from that one piece of rock." And.there was no reason to doubt his word, either. turn their faces to other p^rts. Som�� have gone lo their old ^ homes in eastern Canada or the United' States, homes that mayhap they had not seen- for years; some have gone even beyond the seas to visit the old folks once more; some have merely gone on hunting and fishing trips; and yet others have left the Boundary, with the intention 0/ not returning. They have heard of Cobalt, or Goldfield, or some other equally much-printed-about mining region, and they will try their fortune* in the new fields. In short, they have a touch of the wanderlust, and wish to get out of the rut of the Boundary, district generally. The settlement is for a term of two years, and; although we know,by experience, that |at least some coal miners and some coal operators seem to be going around with chips on their shoulders, as it were, it is devoutly to be hoped that this time all differences have Jieen at last amicably adjusted, and that peace will reign in the coal diggings for the stipulated period of at least 24 months. It does seem, too, that this could have been accomplished without the men stopping work for several weeks, thereby working hardship in the metal mining field, that is so dependent on The good people of Greenwood have reason to fell pretty well satis tied with the way things are going around there; for, they have the only smelter in the Boundary that is operating at present���if it is not blown out before these lines are in print. It is to be hoped that the B. C. Copper Co.'s reduction'works can be kept going till the coke supply can be replenis herd oncefmore. That company, seems to have had its full share of troubles and delays in getting its new plant in full and complete" running order, and an accomplishment of the kind referred to would certainly be a great credit to the management. directors have._also paid $5 to the mining expert for his report, and have promised to priflt^ooc copies 'of,'the prospectus as .an;, advertisement for him. No veins have as yet been discovered on the property, but one fine wall has been found to which a small stringer of smaltite was attached, which one mining expert pronounced calcite, and which, he .said, would undoubtedly lead to rich silver values at depth. The property is only 6,559 ft. 3^ in. from the Woolly Wonder mine, whose vein our expert.has traced over on our property. :i The company has spared no expense in securing the services of Mr. Lies- well, the mining expert, who graduated with honors at Fakerburg in 1837, and who has had ;i 102 ' years and three months' experience in this branch of mining. We quote the following from our expert's, report: "The country rockis a greenish gray.calcereous peroxidite, heavily mineralized with hornaceous, schmisatic magaphone granite, and is cut by violent intrusions of pink fels- napthic andorite, with rhyolusic inclusions. This gives an abundance of contacts in the property, which will increase in value as they go down Only one contact is still lacking, and your directors must arrange for that." ���' ', In conclusion our expert states: "This is undoubtedly the finast property I have seen in the camp." We want it clearly understood that we are not responsible for any statements made by.our expert; also that none of the directors are putting any of their inoney'into the enterprise, but are relying on the public's money entirely to make.it a success.

Every new trolley project, and there are dozens of them in each state, means the probable use of tons of copper. The ���' Kings " ol the Industry. The average man knows more of "coppers," that is, the stocks of the producing companies, than he does of the metal, its uses, or the methods of mining and refining it. Amalgamated Copper and H. H. Rogers are names familiar to every reader of newspapers and magazines, but the character ol this $155,000,000 concern; the location oi its claims; the scope of its very- wonderful charter���as elastic as the marvelous one drawn for the Bay State Gas company���and the relation it bears to the trade, are matters of limited knowledge. The fact that the leading captains of industry did not themselves appreciate the commercial value of copper until late in the last century shows how experimental electricity was then and how little importance was attached to the world monopoly that the United States has of the copper metal. Such strong men as Alexander Agassiz, A. S. Bun-age, A. C. Bigelow and the Higginsons, Shaws, and Hunnewells of Boston, with the Dodges and Stantons of New York, had been prominent in Lake Superior for years. They were giving their energies and capital to producing as much copper as possible ���<j c^*o o-*^�� o*^j> c^e^i* Copper as Trade Barometer. On the financial side of the copper question we have to deal with something like 60 producing and dividend- paying mines in the Lake Superior and Butte regions, as well as in Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Mexico, capitalized at $525,000,000, and with a market value many times as great. These mining companies pay stockholders nearly $40,000,000 annually and have made a contribution to the wealth of the country, in dividend disbursements alone, of about $300,000,000 since copper first began to attract the American investor. Unceasing Search for New Deposits. With the commercial value of copper so immense, it will be readily seen why men go to such lengths to discover the ore. Mining engineers and geologists are today examining the surface of the earth for it in every civilized country on the globe. There may be more excitement and romance in the discovery of gold, and men may face death in more forms to be the first to reach a new camp, but ihere is equally as much solid satisfaction among manufacturing interests in the opening of a vein of virgin copper. How careful the search is for new mineral is shown by the yearly expenditure by one corporation of $500,000 in its exploration work alone. So far this outlay has yielded nothing. Seven concerns consume 50 percent ol the total copper production of the country. The largest individual user of the metal is the American Brass! at the smallest costs and not paying a company, which took 125,000,0001 great deal of attention to the stock Their employment pounds last year, of it is as a constituent of brass. It is very widely used in the arts and sciences. The Western Electric, General Electric and Westinghouse Electric absorb from 225,000,000 to 250,000,- 000 pounds annually, or 25 per cent of the total production. The quantity of telephone wire that they turn out in a year might be reckoned in hundreds of thousands of miles. Telephone expansion alone calls for 150,000,000 pounds every 12 months. There is market side of the matter. In Montana, Marcus Daly, Senator W. A. Clark and the Lewisohns were the prominent figures. :, As for the demand for copper, it will increase one hundred fold from gen eration to generation. Copper will always be a commodity with a market in any quarter of the globe. Today the chief concern of the consumer is to get the metal, regardless of price. He is face to face with a copper famine.���Review of Reviews. GXjXiiXsXSSXS)^ P. 0. Box 56. Phoenix !bwo:o7o:o~o:o:o:o��:o��:o:o:o:o;o^^ Hirket. ���Phone 2. P. BURNS & CO., Ltd.

Cosgrove, secretary of the Spokane Interstate Fair association, announces that purses, aggregating $1,250, will be awarded for two rock drilling contests at the fair in Spokane, Sept. 23 to Oct. 5, also that several trophy cups, cash prizes and diplomas will be given for camp and district exhibits. More space will be devoted to mineral displays than ever before in the history of the fair, the purpose being to show the resources of the country. The association will pay freight charges on ore samples allowed to remain in the permanent mineral display. The display will be at the fair grounds each year, and exhibited in the rooms of the Spokane chamber of commerce. It is expected much interest will be centered in the rock drilling contests, which are open to all, and that there will be entries from Washington; Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Colorado and British Columbia. The purse of $1,250 will be divided as follows: Nine hundred dollars for a double-hand contest, of which $500 for first prize, $250 for second and $150 for third. $350 for single-hand contest, of which $250 for first and $100 for second. These rules will govern the contests: Entries close Sept. 23 at noon; an entrance fee of $15 per man will be charged in each contest, and $10 of this will be returned to each man who drills. Any one entering and not drilling will forfeit entire entrance fee. Time allowed in two hand contests will be 15 minutes; in single-hand contests 10 minutes. All tools must be furnished by contestants, drills for two-hand contests to caliper j4 inch at bit and at point 3 inches back of bit; drills forsingle-hand contest to caliper % inch at bit. and at pointy inches back of bit. Any weight hammer allowed. One assistant allowed to each team in two-hand contest and to each contestant in single-hand contest, but under no circumstance is the assistant allowed to assist in changing drills. The association is to furnish the rock for contest, which will be granite from quarries near Spokane. Contests will take place at any time between Sept. 23 and Sept. 30 at the option of the fair management, and will be put on either in day time or evening. The fair association will-give a handsome silver trophy cup valued at $100 for the best general display of mineral exhibited by any one camp or district, variety, quality and arrangement to be considered. Another prize is a silver trophy cup, valued at $25, to each separate camp or district represented, which cup will be awarded to the mine in each camp or district making the best individual showing, variety, quality and arrangement to be considered. No cup will be awarded to any mine unless it has competition from the district which it represents The Spokane association will also award diplomas to any meritorious exhibits not receiving any of the prizes. There will be a cash prize of $25 for the handsomest and most unique cabinet display made by any one individual, and a cash prize of $10 for the best topographical map of any mineral district or camp. Relief from Rheumatic Pains. "I suffered with rheumatism for over two years," says Mr. Rolland Curry, a patrolman of Key West, Fla. "Sometimes it settled in my knees and lamed me so I could hardly walk, at other times it would be in my feet and hands so I was incapaciated for duty. One night when I was in severe pain and lame from it my wife went to the drug store here and came back with a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I was rubbed with it and found the pain had nearly gone during the night. I kept on using it for a little more than two weeks and found that it drove the rhematism away. I have not had any trouble from that disease for over three months." For sale by all druggists. The Ads.

In almost every newspaper you pick up you are pretty sure to find a lot of gush about the man behind the counter and the man behind the' gun; the man behind the buzzsaw and the man behind the sun; the man behind the times and tlie man behind his rents; the man behind^ the plowshares and the man behind, the fence; the man behind the whistle and the man behind the cars; the man behind the kodak and the man behind the bars; the man behind his whiskers and the, man behind his fists; and everything is entered on the list. But they've skipped another fellow of whom nothing has been said���the fellow who is even, or a little way ahead; who pays for what he gets, whose bills are always signed. He's a blamed sight more important than the man who is behind. All the edits ors and merchants, and the whole commercial clan, are indebted for existence to this honest fellowman. He keeps us all in business, and hi- town is never dead, and so we take off our hats to the man who is ahead. ���Judge. "��� Sore Nipples.
