Effect Ofthe Discovery in the Savage
Mine.

The discovery of a new easterly mineral
belt In the COmStOck assure could not have
interests connected with the mines and the
market were fast retrogading Not only have
the repeated strikes of ore encouraged the
hopes and appreciated the property of large
body OF shareholders on this coast, but they
are acting as 4 strong incentive to enlarge the
operations OF Eastern people who have just
begun to Interest themselves so warmly in the
leading section OF our mining Industry. This
Eastern element cannot be Overvalued. 1t is
impossible for the limited population on the
Pacific coast to carry and properly sus in the
a load is at times overwhelming. New mines
are constantly being discovered, and their de-
velOpment, together with that OF previously
discovered properties, is heavy drain on the
community at large. 1t requires months,
sometimes years, to place certain claims on
paying basis, and in the meantime valuable
meritorious ventures We believe it is this
overload of undevelOped mines which pre-
vents many of our leading dividend stocks
from bringing higher rates in the market.
Some outlet must be found for the surplus.
Should the COmStock lode continue to hold
forth the Inducements for speculation which
it does at present. that outlet may be princi
and to a smaller extent in Europe. Every
body who owns share in the great ledge is
locking and warming for a discovery of ore
which will produce big market. Left 70 our
selves with a limited circulating medium and
immense cerealcrOpS, whose moving will draw
largely on the resources of bankers and capt.
talists, the finding of huge bonanzas in the
Savage. Alta, Ophir and other mines would
not have that immediate effect on prices il

But with thousands upon thou sands OF pur-
chasing orders flowing into the Offices of our
brokers from Eastern spectators and the
volume rapidly spreading as the excl ement

which in times past have been so frequent in
our midst 1t is essential, therefore, at the

THE WALL FLOWER, it must be confessed,
IS usually deficient in personal charms. She is
the girl OF whom her own friends say, by way
OF protest, cannot think Maria plain she
expression and, I'm sure, when she wore that
olive green gown she looked positively pref
y:" Out se1cuse s'accuse;" and the re-
make for our friends as for apologies we make
all-dower. She may Be Stupid, a bad dancer,
less filled. Everybody gives her, at least, a
chance and everybody wants to dance with
a girl with whom everybody is dancing. Pres
nothing gives it so quickly as a pretty
face. The old stagers and the shrewder hands,
perhaps, find her out, and avoid her as a
Dead Sea apple; bue there is always a
fresh supply Of young fellows to be attracted
by that settled bloom and that eternal sim
per. But 1t by no means follows that a girl
whom ungallant people would call downright
plain, either begins or ends by being wall
flower. There is a particular talent in this
world, about which little has been ssid, but
which, perhaps, is the most valuable gift a
man or woman can have. 1t is the talent of
managing ones own career. The girl who has
got it never remains awall-flower long. Where
there's will-including in the word the
quality of intelligence-theres way of get
ting partners; and most proper and legi:i-
mate way it is. 1t is not beauty alone, that
comes, is seen and conquers. Let girl only
know how to enter ballroom, and cOmport
herself in ball room as one who is accus
toned to receive attention, and she receives
it. 1t is humility tlmidity, fear of failure that
goes to the wall. The thing is to have the
proper air; the air of knowing what you are
about the air of quiet self-assertiOn. Ii even
plain girl adds to this faculty the accomplish
ment OF dancing well, she fills her card to
certainty.
