Tie problem of life is more diseased
than tay question of the day. Philosophers

thing abovt It and still we know tmt little
For interesting deductions concerning life
were made by Montaigne, the great French
writer. They were: 'Life Itself ! neither
a gaod aor an evil:' "If you have lived a
day, one day you have seen all.' "Every
day leads toward death, the last arrives:'
'Make way for others an they 'have made)
way for you ' It Is Impossible for us to
conceive of the numbers of persons who
have preceded us and gone into the un--!

esnnot solve the mystery of the foture.
but it Is our duty to avail ourselves et the
opt-sri unities whieh the present holds.
"A lover of poetrr will advise man to
seek happiness In verse. A phllosophr
will reeommend the study of metaphysics.
A rauslclsn will maintain that the onlr
true way to make life worth living Is In
the studr of music and an artist will urge
that his world is the only one In which
there it true happiness. The Christian re
ligion hsrmonlxe these arts and molds
them into a whole. The Benevolent Pro
tective Order of Elks dees even more
than this. It adds charity and cheerfulness
at two of the cardinal virtues. In the prac
tice of which happiness may be found.

Whereabout of the
Fmlllic
Jo Beardwell. the Aaivtlan. who It al
leged to hae stabbed Najeeb Srdey to
death Saturday morning. Is still at large
and. despite an almost houte-to-house ran
vats of the districts la which It was thought
he might have bidden, the police have not
the slightest clue upon which to work.
It It believed that he hat left the city.
The body of Srdey it still In the undertak
ing rooms of the coroner, where aa In
quest will be held upon it this afternoon.
Since the homicide the detectives have
been looking up Beardwell's personal his
tory, but little seemt to be known about
him, even by hit particular faction of the
Assyrian colony. "Beardwell" It not an
accurate rendition of hit name, though It
it about as near It as the English tongae
and alphabet can get. At hli countrymen
pronounce it. It sounds more like "Beard
weel." The Jail record of two years ago
hat it "Blrdwlll." The name doesn't ap
pear In the city directory.
In the telegraphic detcrlption tent out
by the police department Beardwell is de
scribed as an Arab, ri years old. of slim
build, weight 145 pounds. 5 feet S inches
la stature, of dark complexion, with dark
hair and eyes and smooth face. He hat
thick lips and a prominent nose Over
his left eje Is a fresh cut. When last
seen he wore a pink shirt, blue overalls,
tan thoet and a blue cechile.
So far as can be learned he has made
Omaha hit home for five or six years,
during the greater part of which time he
has worked as a peddler throughout the
country aad In the small country towns
Later he drove a milk wagon for one of
the suburban darles. During the last few
weeks, however, he has been in the employ
of J. J Connelly, a contractor, who Is
building a sewer In the northern part of
the cltr.
Two years ago Beardwell was arretted oa
a charge of trying to kill hit mother, who
has since left Omaha and gone Vek to
her native country. She then lived in a
little shanty on South Thirteenth street,
near William. One day the neighbors
heard the woman screaming and, rushing
In, found Joe waving a big revolver t
her face and threatening to shoot her if the
didn't give him some money he claimed
belonged to him. The neighbors disarmed
htm and he went away, only to return a
few minutes later with an ugly.looklng
knife. About this time the police arrived
and took him in custody, but the case never
came to trial, as the mother refused to
prosecute him.
Despite the best efforts of the police
they have failed to learn the underlying
cause of last Saturday's brawl. The
Assyrians say it n the result of tribal
rancor, but refuse to be more specific.

DEADWOOD, S. D.. Dee. 1. tSpeelal.)
The Golden Reward Mining eompany has
seventy-five miles of underground work
lags. The eompany hat one of the manu
facturing propositions, whieh Is attracting
to much attention in the Blaek Hills. The
acreage amounts to over 5.&00 acres, all
in the flat formations of the Bald moun
tain and Ruby basin districts. The com
pany has a large ere resene and dead work
is being done constantly, which 1 open
ing up new ore shoots on the quartzite
levels. The company operates a 400-too
smelting works In this city and a 50-ton
cyanide plant is In course of construction
located near the smelter This company
stands next to the Homes take company In
the amount of ore handled and the bullion
output.
Next to the Golden Reward company !
the Horeshoe company which owns a very
large serf ire of mining ground in the Ball
mountain district and on Iron creek. The
eompany has been operating a 1 Jo-ton
chlorinating plant at Pluma. At present
about seventy-five tont of ore are being
shipped dally to the Omaha smelter. The
company Is making plans to erect a smtlter,
which will be worked In conjunction with
the plant at Pluma. This eompany has
an enormous amount of low grade ore In
Its mines at Terry that is adapted to the
cyanide rrocess.
Imperial Cuniatiy l Iln.j.
One of the most active companies In
the Hills at present Is the Imperial which
Is building a lOA-ton cyanide plant In this
city. It Is opening up ore in three differ
ent camps In Blaektall gulch, at Portland
and on Iron creek. In the Blaektall dis
trict more than six ore shoots have been
cut through on lower quartzite the ore
bodies runnlnc from twenty to 100 feet In
width The plant has bn enclosed and
the first ore will be treated within sixty
days. C. A. Hallam of Chicago, the principal
owner of the Two Johns mine at Crown
Hill station, has arrived. A diamond drill
Is being sunk at the present time to de
termine how far it Is to the lower quartzite
level. The mine has a large amount of
low grade cyanldlng ore. It is expected
that a plant will be erected this winter.
Just as soon at possible the capacity of
the new cyanide plant owned by the Da
kota Mining company will be Increased. It
is a suocess in every particular. Ten addi
tional stamp"- are now being Installed,
which will mean about fifty additional tont

Sidney Clark of New Castle. Pa . arrive!
a-nd take charge of the Castle Creek Mln
Inc company, recently organized, which will
tpcrate at Castle Creek, near Mystic. The
ground consists of 2&0 acres, located at
what is commonly called Wheeler hill, be
ing formerly owned by W. R. Castle and
others The company will begin Imme
diately the sinking cf a deep shaft, follow
ing down one of the largest veins of free
m'')lng and concentrating ore in the Black
Hills, the assay values being better than
110 cold. The company is incorporated for
Jf..O00,O00 shares of stock, par value II.
Castle Creek has furnltbed more than $109,-
009 In placer gold In the past twentyflve
years, the greater portion of which hav
ing been deposited from quartz ledges in
and surroundlag Wheeler hill. The stock
of the company will be sold mostly in
Pennsylvania.
The amount of mining machinery that Is
being shipped into the Black Hills from
Denver and from other places this winter
ie enormous The construction of a dozen
or more new cyanide plants in Lawrence
county, the installing of aew hoisting
works cn thirty or more gold properties
took a great deal of machinery. It Is safe
10 say that three-fourths of the machinery
comes from Colorado manufacturing works.
One or two of th older mining companies
seem to be wedded to the old machine
works of Chicago and Milwaukee, hut the
never companies are going to Denver for
their machinery.
This is due to a large extent to the cheap
freight rates over the Dcnver-Deadwood
short line, the Burlington route. One com
pany in Deadwood alone which Is erecting
a cyanide plant and has also Installed new
hoisting mathinery has purchased twelve
carloads of Denver machinery", mott tf
which has already arrived.

The company has an incline shaft down

The mistake of organizing mining rem
panics with a capitalization too small Is
shown by two mining companies which have
tbelr stock distributed for the most part
In the eastern part of Sooth Dakota. These
two companies were organized for S60.O06
shares and &00.034 shares tespectltely and
recently their capitalization was InereateJ
to 1.000.000 shares each.
MnrLnolder Olijrrt to Watering.
In the case of tbe Crown Hill Mining
company, of which Hon. S. E. Young, su
perintendent of the Plaakinton Reform
school, is the secretary and geaeral mana
ger, tbbse stockholders who purchased their
stock from the original MK.000 shsres have
objected strongly to having their holdings
watered, which It would be as soon at the
additional capitalization la thrown onto the
market. The compaay owns valuable min
ing grounds in at least three, districts of
Lawraee. Pennington and Cutter couatltt
which It valued at floO.O'.'O
The first property, purchased some seven
years seo. ws located at Crown Hill tta
tlon In the Ragged Top district and alnee
the. successful operation of the cyanide
process oa the Ragged Top ores the com
pany would ha.e a simple proposition In
treating tbe hundreds of toas of IS and
110 ore that hat been blocked out In tho
mine la that district. Down near Kcy
stoae, tlx miles south, the company hat
an excellent proposition, there being a
thlrly-foot vein of concentrating ore well
developed with a fifty-ton concentrating
plant ready lor operation. The company
has goa Into the hands of a receiver for
the simple reason that tbe original stock
holders objected to having the second issue
of stork sold
It is necessary only that the company
raise a moderate amount of money to put
both tbe Crown Hill and the Spokane
mines oa a dividend paying basis. It is
asserted Ibat the arrangements will coon
be made whereby tbe dlflrultlca of the
company may be settled and work returned.
This company has a large amount of stock
held at Vermilion. Sioux. Falls, Aberdeen
and other South Dakota towns and It Is
working aa Injury to tbe promotion of other
mining companies In those portions of the
state, ihe report having gained circulation
that tho Crown Hill company had failed
because of a lack of ore. The compaay
will eventually become a dividend payer.
