How the Errors Creep In.
A lady who recently published some
verses on "Autumn" in these columns
writes to ask, "who is responsible for
the typographical errors in your pa
per 7" Lean down here, while we whis
per in your ear: sh; nobody is. The
editor writes bo plainly that even a
blind mm could spell out his words
the compositors are college men who
have edited papers of their own, and
they set up the matter exactly as it i3
written and correct what mistakes the
editor makes; the proof reader is a pro
fessor of rhetoric and philology in an
Iowa college, and never roado a mis
take in his life, and ho corrects what
few mistakes tho compositors may
make; tho foreman is a Gcttingen grad
uate, who has nothing to do but to seo
that the matter is perfeot when the
forms go down. There is'nt a mistake
in our paper when the type readies the
press. But wo'll tell you, as a profess
ional secret, how the mistakes creep in.
The pressman told the managor, and the
manager told us; it's the ink it's the
ink. We pay out thousands and thou
sands of dollars a year for good ink, and
we can't get an article that won't fairly
measle the paper with typographical er
rors. Hawkeye.
How to Become Rich. You can
probably be rich my son, if you will be
If you make up your mind that you
will be a rich man, and stick to it,
there is very little doubt that you will
be very wealthy, tulorabie mean, loved
a little, hated a grert deal, have a big
funeral, be blesse 1 by the relatives to
whom you leave the most, reviled by
those to whom you leave less, and villi
lied by tho.o to whom you leave noth
ing. But you must pay for it, my son
Wealth is an expensive thing. It
costs all it is wortb. If you want to
be worth a million dollar?, it will cost
you just a million dollars toget it.
Broken friendship, intellectual star
vatinn, loss of social enjoyment, depri
vation of general impulses, tho
smothering of many aspirations, a
limited wardrobe and a scanty table,
a lonely home l;oeaue you fear a love.
ly wife and beautiful home would be
expensive, a hatred of the heathen, a
dread of the contribution box, a haunt
ing four of the woman's aid society, a
fretful dislike of poor people because
they wont keep their misery out of
your sight, a little sham benevolence
that is worso than none; oh, you can
be rich, young man, if you arc willing
to pay the price. Any man can get
rich who does'nt think it ia too expen
sive. True, you may be rich, and be
a man among men, noble and Chris
tian and grand aud true, serving God
and blessing humanity, but that will
be in spite of your wealth and not as
a result of it. It will be because you
always were that kind of a man. But
you want to be rich merely to be rich
if that is the breadth and height of
your ambition, you can be rich, if you
wiil pay the price. And when you
are rich, son, call ' around at this office
and pay for this advice. We will let
the interest compound from this date-

The new quartz mill, said to be the
finest on the Pacific const, was put in
operation on tho 11th instant, and iuii
on waste ore. They suffered two or
three preak downs, usually incident to
starting new machinery, which dolayed
the regular work on good ore until the
17th- On that day they worked 12
hourj on good ore. An assay was
made from the battery and showed
8126 60 to tho ton, which isS33 better
than Consolidated Virginia during its
benanza days, There aro 600 tons of
ore on tho dump as good as that crush
ed on tho 17th. The ore is the accu.
mulation of two years' development in
the tunnel and drifts. A shaft has
been sunk from the tunnel level, tho
bottom of which is 3-10 feet from the
surface. Specimens of average ore
brought by Mr. J. V. Stemme from
this depth, show richer quartz than has
ever been found in the mine before, and
warrants a permanency which assures
a golden future for its owners. Mount
