A representative of tho Dally Al
askan ha<l occasion to visit the
Pueblo mine a few iluys ago, where
lie was accorded every courtesy In
ttlng shown through (tie workings
of this remarkable property. Undor
the guidance of General Manager
Grcenough an Inspection was made
of the tunuels, drifts and stopes of
the underground workings, and the
compressor plant, hoists, assay of
fice. manager's office and quarters
for the workmen.
The Pueblo Is rapidly becoming
one of the best producers In the
uoi ih and every Indication points to
tfcc certainty that a smelter must
soon be established to hoodie tho
output. AVhlle tho talk of a smelt
<rr has been the subject of discus
?iiou for the past ten years, with
more or less varying opinions re
garding its probable Installation, the
increased output of the Pueblo mine
ai.b the opening of other properties
lu tho north, make such a probabil
ity now almost a certainty. That
the smelter is to be built, wo have
no hesltency In asserting, and that
it will be built at tidewater, which
happens to be Skagway in this in
sta ice, we are equally certain.
It is understood that tho Atlas
Mining company Is to keep their
dlaihoud drills in operation during
the entire" summer, and when they
lui\e succecded in blocking out a
tonnage of ore In sufficient quanti
ty to warrant a smelting plant, its
construction will at once bo taken

Administration was to permit the ;
Republican postmastors to finish the j

While this will bo disappointing
to many democrats who are anxious
for the emoluments of office, it
places tho party on rocord as oppos
ed to tho spoils system, und goes a
loiig way towards tho purification
of politics, something which John J.
Ingalls once said was "un irridos

THE MOTIVE TO PHILOSOPHY.
Philosophy Is n love fur wis
dom. a striving after truth. Kveu
this Klrlvlug Is philosophy . A
progressive culture process enn
be comprehended only by n pro
gressive knowledge process. Tho
human spirit Is this progressive
culture progress. Philosophy Is
this progressive knowledge proc
ess, the self knowledge of the hu
man spirit. Tills self knowledge
of the human spirit Is the fun
damental theme of all systems
of philosophy. The problem of
philosophy Is to see the meaning
of the forms of culture, to grasp
their Inner motives ami lo make
clear what they are mid what U
their aim. The problem Ls the
more difficult the richer nud
more manifold the world of cul
ture heroines. The animating
principle* of nirn are so various
that coiitlldlng systems of phi- ;

must be co-ordinated In t.rder to
solve the philosophical problem
?f the age. But there are rul
ing tendencies of tho times, so
there arise In philosophy ruling
systems.? Kuno Fischer.
