Sourdough Bill, the dark-horse
in the coming delegate race, pro
poses to introduce a blil to Con
gress asking for an appropria
tion sufficiently large to equip
(each and every mosquito in Alas
! ka with a cowbell. Sourdough says
1 he is confident the governor will
pocket-veto the proposition be
cause of the possible confusion
between the governor’s reindeer
herds and the bell-adorned mos
. quitoes.

❖ THE MUSIC OF TIIE *
❖ MINES ❖
❖ ❖
There is music in the mountains—
sweet melodious sound,
A> the air drills keep a humming,
when the men “get in their
round."
In the chorus of the booming of
the blasts at close of day,
The clanking of the hammer of the
blacksmith, joins the play.
;The tones are intermingled with
| the whispering of the pines—
jYes, my friend, ’tis sweet to listen
( to the music of the mines.
■ The compressor’s rhythmic beating
as it. gives the drills the air,
j Sounds like the drums retreating,
j with the tank the trombone
| player;
The clicking of the ore cars as
j they’re passing o’er the track,
And the rumbling of the “empties” !
as they’re swiftly going back;
;The hum of the transformers, and
of transmission lines
Is like the peal of organs yes,
there’s music at the mines.
The grinding of the crusher and
the crashing of the ore,
Is like the waves of oceans a beat
ing ’gainst the shore.
And soothing and enchanting is
the steady sounding clank
Of the stamps, as they are crush
ing out the money for the bank;
And like a silvery ocean the amal
gam table shines—
There is harmony and beauty, and
there’s music at the mines.
(
And when the day is over, and the
miners “off the shift,”
As tired, wet and grimy they’re
emerging from the drift,
The sound of merry voices are
mingled with the gong
Of the dinner bell’s sweet pealing, I
and with the miner / song. 1
And, as the evening twilight the
snowy hills entwine,
There’s a strain of sweet enchant
ment in the music of the mines.
—PAUL.
