Strike is Made in the Famous Her
cules Mine in the Coeur
d'Alenes District.
An ore reserve of enormous size and
of practically inestimable wealth baa
been opened up by the long power
tunnel on tbe IlercoJes mine near
Burke, one of tbe Coeor d'Alene's
most famous producers.
Tbe new strike, tbe fall extent of
wbicb was only recently opened op,
makes tbe Ileroales superior to any of
tbe mines of the Coeur d'Alenes except
tbe Banker Hill aud Sullivan, if not,
indeed, tbe equal of tbe Wardner pro
perty, wbiob. with tbe Broken Hill
mines of Australia, ranks as one of the
largest and richest silver-lead mines
iu tbe world.
The new Hercules strike was made
at tbe eud of tbe lower 4500-foot tun
nel, and at a vertical depth of about
1800 feet from tbe surface.
Tbe ore body has been crosscut. It
is 60 feet wide and carries frcni 21 to
SO feet of solid galena ore wbicb gives
average values of from 6 5 to 70 per
oent load and close to 100 ounces of
silver to tbe ton. The rest of the
width of the vein is milling ore of
good quality.
Tbe size of tbe ore reserve opened up
is immense, for tbe lower tunnel has
tapped tbe ore at a depth of 700 feet
below tbe former lowest workings of
tbe mine. Even in tbe upper work
ings there are today vast untouched re
serves. "Tbe length of tbe ore shoot on the
new level is as yet undetermined, but
io tbe upper workings tbe shoot was
continuous for about 500 feet," said L.
W. Hntton, one of tbe owners of tbe
famous mine, "and we oxpeot that it
will prove to be longer in the lower
workings."
Tbe Hercules mine is iu Gorge gnlcli.
Tbe mouth of tbe tunnel iu wbiah
tbe strike was reoently made is be
tween 500 and 600 feet above creek
level at Burke.
Tbe future productively of tbe Her
oules will probably be enormous, for
tbe Tiger mine at Burke was mined
pioQtably to a depth of 2200 feet be
low tbe creek level, and it is reasonable
to suppose that tbe Hercules ore body
oan be mined to a similar depth. If
that proves to be true there is still
from 2700 to 2800 feet of ore lying un
touched bolow tbe present lowest level.
A SOUL
IN FOUR PARTS.
theories about that, until we have but
little above tbe minimnm of heart
power remaining. Intellectual cob
webs are being spun while multitudes
are starving for tbe Bread of Life and
honey out of the Rock of Ages.
"In many ways I have been helpful
here, but it does seem to me that tbe
Christian religion is beooming a mere
philosophy and Christ is becoming
more distant.
"My soul is starving." The above
is tbe sad lament of a young woman
who had reoently been attending one
of ocr largest colleges and greatly in
jured as a soul winner, wbiob she bad
been previous to her going there.
This is no uncommon. experience in
many of onr schools and churches of
today, and all tbe result of putting tbe
emphasis iu the wrong place.
The same tendenoy is seen in onr
annual conferences, many times, when
young men come to tbe sacred altar for
admission. Muob mote time is usu
ally spent in aeoertaining their intel
lectual qualifications than their heart
and soul-winning qualifications. Ail
seem very anxious that they should
have college diplomas, but seem to
take for granted tbeir ability in win
ning souls to Christ. In tbe light of
tbe Word, tbe Apostolic, and our own
Methodist .Fathers, this is all wrong.
The spiritual qualifications, from tbe
Exborter to tbe Bishop, should, at
every place, and time, have first and
deepest consideration.
Then, God speed tbe greatest intel
lects, with the greatest education, for
tbey may flame with life and love aud
Holy Power.
When Mr. Tboluok had beoo e Uni
versity professor for about fifty years.
he said: "From tbe age of seventeen
I have always asked myself, What
tbe chief eud of man's life? I could
never persuade myself that tbe acqui
sition of knowledge was that end,
Must then God brought me into con
tact with a venerable saint of Christ

was in my eighteenth year when God
gave me my first convert. He was an
artillery officer, a Jew, a wild crea
ture without rest; but soon he put me
to shame by bis true devotions to
Christ. When I look back upon tbe
thousands of youths whose hearts have
opeued up under my influence, I can
say, Tbe Lord bath done it. In work
ing thus to save souls, my life has keen
one of joy rather than toil."

Part Seoond.
Over-emphasis upon intellectuality
is one of tbe things responsible for the
decadence of soul-wiuning ty the min
iHtery. If education is of tbe right
kind, and rightly applied, the more
tbo better. Education and culture
have been called the handmaids of
Christianity, but by some tbe haud
ruaids are put on the throne, while
Christ is crucified on many a literary
oross. If two-thirds of modern educa
tion iu thepnlpit was obauged to heart
we might sooner see the triumph of
Christianity. . With tbe heart man
believeth unto righteousness, Rom. 10,
10, aud none bnt a righteous heart oan
win an uniigbteous heart to a right
eous God.
Self ceuterod, self -confident intelloo
tualism dares try to overthrow tbe
Word of God. There is nothing elso
that dare be so during. It looks to me
like it should be bandied with oare.
The affections, emotious, instincts and
lioart-longings after a deeper, holier
life, is being less emphasized, while
training of the mind is more and more
emphasized. We often bear such ex
pressions as, "be is a baok number,
au old fogy" &o. The disposition to
ward this tendenoy is tbe baue of tbe
Spiritual life of many of our ministers.
Everything must be brought to the
bar of reason, it is suid; while it is
evidently overlooked that tbe feeling
purt of our nature is as deserviug of a
bearing as the arguing part, tor both
are God-given.
Why this lament over the dearth of
great revivals? Why do the obafiot
wheols drag heavily? It is because
tbe ministry has gone too much to an
alysis, controversy, metaphyseal dis
quisition, high and dry systematic the
ology, and too little to the simple Gos
pel of Christ, just saying what Jesus
said, especially as to the Holy Spirit in
his essence, offices and fruits: See John
14,26; 16.7-H; Acts 1, 4-8 ; 3. 83;
1 Cor. 3, 10-16; 13, 1-13; also John
3. 5-6.
- Tbe cryiug need of the ministry of
today is more Holy Ghost. There was
no Peutaoost iu the second chapter of
AoU without it, never bus been one
siuoe without it, aud never will bo, for
it is God's ouly way of briugiug forth
bis new born sons: Please read Rom.
8, 9-16. There is no subject to whioh
people will listen with more reverent
attention than that of tbe Holy Spirit.
But how often are the poor sheep fed
on tbe husks of a cold, dry, hair-splitting
theology, aud ecclesiastical form
ulaes, while tbeir hearts go out in
yearning dceire for sometbiug to satis
fy tbe inmost lougings of their souls.
Dr. Campbel, of Euglund, after a
reoent visit to this country, declared
that "in Amerioa, among miuistors,
Spirituality aud intelloetnality are di
vorced; that nuhappily they are not
always, nor often found iu tbe same
men; that the intellectual aud spirit
ual leaders are ditfereut sets."
Then, again, we have our theories
on whioh to perforin our intellectual
gymnastics theories of the atone
ment, of the oiigiu of evil, of missiou
ary eutorpiiae, theories about this, and
EDITOR SCOTT BROUGHT INTO IT
The Oregon Journalist Denies Lincoln
StefTens' Allegations.
In the March number of the Amer
ican Magazine is an artiole by Lincoln
StefTens on Oregou affairs, wherein bo
gives the text of a telegram said to
have beeu written by H. W. Scott,
editor of the Oregonian, and sent by
W. M. Lndd to Jonathan Bourne at
Salem, during tbe Oregon senatorial
campaign in 1903 Mr. Scott is de
clared to have made offers ot various
kinds to Mr. Bourne in consideration
of Mr. Bourne s support of Mr. Scott
for Senator. The Oregonian says
editorially:
"It is simply notion. This so-called
agreement, alleged to have been writ
ten by Mr. Scott, was not written by
him, uor dictated by him, nor even
seen by him, till now. It never exist
ed. It is fabrication ty somebody, and
sheer forgery. It follows, of oourse,
that it was not wired to Salem, on
the last uigbt of the sessiou or at any
time, by Mr. Ladd, or by anyone else;
aud Mr. Ladd, moreover, never saw
it till it was showu him in this maca-
ziue artiole."

No Active Canvass.
Attorney John MoCourtof Pendleton
denies thai he is making an active
canvass as a candidate for United
States district attorney, as has beeu
reported in eastern Oregou. He has
been a passive candidate for sev
eral weeks. At the instance of friends
he became an applioant for the post
some strong recommendations were sent
to Washington by Pendleton people.
Aside from that, MoCourt claims, he
has made no effort aud if tbe nomina
tion is tendered him by .the president
it will be without any farther solicita
tion. According to MoCourt, be does
not consider his chances very promis
ing, and be would not be disappointed
by failure to secure the appointment.
