SAN FRANCIsCo, Jan. GA Hong
Kong native paper prints the rumOr
that the emperor Of China, who is
only In his 10th year, intends TO
form a matrimonial alliance and to
take the government into his own
hands. The reported outbreak In
Seoul, COrea, OF December 18th, Rp-
pears to have had no foundation In
fact. Early In December the Japan
ese government arrested about thirty
men who were suspected to be en-
gagged In a plot against the Corean
government. This came to the ears
Of the officers Of the Chinese legation
ut Toxic, Japan, In the shape Of a
rumor that a number Of desperadOes
had embarked for Seoul. This was
telegraphed to Tlentsln and in turn
to the Chinese representative at
Seoul. The latter, on investigating
the matter, became informed OF an
other rumor that eighty soldiers dis
guised as tradesmen were then in
Seoul awaiting an opportunity to
attack the palace, and wired the
rumor as a fact 10 the Chinese lega-
tlon at Toxic. The last telegram
was communicated TO the Japanese
foreign office, which soon dipelled
the rumOrs. The whole matter was
Investigated and shown to be per-
fectIy without an iOta Of truth.

An. Important scheme for spokane
Falls.

Where silver mining property Is
situated far remote from reduction
works, it is only the very best Of ores
that will rear the expense Of trans
portation. For this reason there are
many claims carrying a low grade Of
rock that could be worked near the
place 1t is taken out Of at u good
profit to the owner, which would not
pay to ship along distance. Take,
for Instance, the COlville and Occur
d. Alene mines, In both Of those
places there is plenty Of ore that will
average from $50 to 500 per ton.
When smelters are near by, by an
averag Of the lowest Of these figures,
when the body Is any size at all, Is
considered very good yield. Yet
1t does not pay now to take out the
rock and ship 1t to Omaha or San
Francisco. The Old Dominion is the
only mine In tine COlville region that
has so far produced ore rich enough
to ship to a distance. The owners Of
that mine have shipped large quan.
titles to Omaha and San Francisco,
but they have been careful in select
ing that which would run several
hundred dollars to the ton. They
have sold thousands Of dollars worth
80 far. In sorting out the best they
have been compelled tO leave on the
damp many tons Uf lower grade
article OF ore that could be smelted
near by, leaving Il handSOme margin
To the miners. The existence OF
these large bodies Of lower grade
ores will necCssitate the con-
struction uf the necessary works for
handling the same near by ut an
carly day, hut in the meantime new
claims carrying Il fine quality Of ore
are being constantly opened up and
in order that the necessary siTews
for carrying on the work can b. pro-
cured market for the ores must BE-
established nearer to the scenes uf
operations. In order to intelligently
buy ore man must not only he

we thought would would never be

sence OF smelters, Is sampling

make a ready market for mine pro-
ducts and with the confidence OF
furnace men the protector would
make a profit out Of 1t. The first ef-
fort Of the kind is about to be made
here. The Kearney boys have word
from parties in Helena that they will
be in this city next Tuesday, when,
II they can make satisfactory ar
,angcments, they propose to open a
house for the purpose Of purchasing

shot ted "Come a running with

A boy who had been dispatched
by the bar man to the drug store,

1t stands in sunny meadow,
The house SO sunny and brown,
With its cumbrows old stone chimney
And the gray roof sloping down.
The trees fold their green arms around it,
The trees a century old;
And the winds go chanting through
them,
And the sunbeams drop their gold
The cowslips spring in the marshes,
And the roses bloom on the hill:
And beside the brook in the pasture
The herds go feeding at will
The children have gone and left them;
The sit in the sun alone:
And the old wife's cares are falling,
As she hanks to the well-known tone
That won her heart in girlhood
That has soothed her in many care,
And praises her now for the brightness
Her old face used to wear.
She thinks again of her bridal
How, dressed in her robe of white,
She stood by her gay young lover
In the mornings rosy light.
Oh the morning is rosy as ever,
But the rose from her cheek has fed
And the sunshine still is golden,
But it falls on a silver head.
And looking forth from the window,
She thinks how the trees have grown,
Since clad in her bridal whiteness,
She crossed ike old doorstone.
Though dimmed her eyes bright AZURE
And dimmed her hairs young gold,
The love of her girlhood plighted
Has never grown dim or old.
They sat in their place in sunshine
Till the day was almost done:
And then at its close, an angel
Stole over the threshold stone.
He folded their hands together,
He touched their eyelids with balm
And their last breath floated upward,
Like the close of a solemn psalm.
Like bridal pair, they traversed
The unseen mystic road
That leads to the beautiful city
Whose builder and maker is God"
