not disregard the instructions of the

THE LUCKY BAR PLACERS.
The Company Operating There to Start
Up Next Week.

The machinery of the Lucky Bar
Placer Mining Company is all ready,
the fume will be completed to-day or
tomorrow, and the gravel washing
operations will probably begin next
Tuesday or Wednesday. Owing to
the non-arrival of the 80 grizzly
plates ordered from Chicago last
April the company has been compelled
to borrow or lease other grizzlies, of
an older pattern, and the operations
will be begun with two of these.
After the first clean up or about 10
days after the works start) two of the
new grizzlies will probably be ready,
and the number of machines worked
added to, at the rate of ore
machine every five days. Judge
Waters, President of the company
will leave HALEY for Lucky Bar to.

A Dull Camp.

A correspondent writes from Bodie,
Cal, as follows: Cuisines is very
dull. There are but five saloons and
how they manage to pay licenses is a
conundrum to me. Two hotels ac-
commodate the town, and the num-
Der of idle men knocking around is
paralyzing. People here seem to be
living on hope, and from present in
dications their hopes will be badly
shattered. Bodie has seen its best
days. The main street pre-
sents an appearance of woe-begone
ness that is simply appalling. Every
body wants to leave, but somehow OIL
other they don't go. Seven-eighths o.
them are stranded and those that are
not are liable to be. Gambling Ii
light. There is but enc faro gam
running in the town, and that onl
at intervals. Poker games are

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMEs:-
l.. Goliath came in with Bob Mulhall
yesterday, and left at once for Ante

NOR has it that he is in the interest of
K. 5. Chambers, and big deal is on

Numerous men are now on Ante
lope engaged by the wood contractors.
Fred Winterhoff closed out his re-
naming interest in the Valley last
week, and Mr.. Mundau has already
placed men at work in order to push
this most promising properly.
The Hub, on Lava, is under bond
at good figures, and is showing ex-
ceedingly high grade ore. Their tun.
mel, 200 feet long, parallel with tbs
vein, brings the present workings at s
depth of 144 fee.-the lowest in the
whole district. Numerous strong
"feeders" have been cut in the TUNE
at nearly right angles to the l5.foo
vein, and in few days will tap thu
vein, as all work is concentrated t,
that end at present. All indication
show it will be strong and rich.
The Elkhorn is on the same vein, a
is the Park also, and are proving rap
idly to be properties of high value.
Freight is coming in nearly ever,
day from Blackfoot, and more on tn
way constantly.

RED WING GAYETY.
A week i'm the Social whirI.

The revival meetings which have been in
progress at the Baptist church under the
charge of Henry Plant of Minneapolis were
closed Thursday evening. An effort will
probably be made 70 secure the services OF
Rev. IL. w. Brown, the noted evangelist and
believer in faith cure, who is now holding
meetings in Minneapolis, to visit this place.
The second in the series OF lectures at
Christ church was delivered on Friday even
ing by Rev. +. S. Thomas of st. PauTs
church, ST. Paul. His subject was The Old
British Church, and the manner in which he
handled it showed a thorough acquaintance
with the subject.
Wednesday. it being the fiifty-second ami
versary of his birth, Rev. p. Sjoblom was
surprised by large number of the members
of his congregation. who served a bounteous
supper and presented him with a purse OF
$50.

IS THIS OUT OF STYLE?


have always been wont to come about this
time of year, it might be hard to say. Pos
slbly the fact that spring seems to have
sprung OF late, and there is the usual quota
or mud on hand, may cut something of a
figure in the present condition of things, it
would be out of place to say Just at this
time. At any rate there have been few
events at the homes and halls of fashion
within the past six days that have created
much stir, or made much talk, save in the
immediate number that graced the occasion.
There have been some progressive euchre
parties, an occasional tea, musicale. and
once in while ball, but they have been
exceptions. The city has been quiet during
the week from social standpoint, unless
the coming of Mary Anderson and the gen
eral tlocking to get a glimpse of her classic
features may be called a social event. But
even then. it was noticeable that theater
parties were the exception, and new opera
costumes were rarely brought out.
~
ut always happens this way. When
one starts out with a good resolution of
any kind. something surely occurs to cause
one to break it, however firmly fixed her

awful fact that the roguish debutant and
many of her fair sisters having firmly de-
cided but short time ago to include thea

wicked world which were to be renowned
during Lent, had been unable to withstand
the combined attractions of 1.-The Comedy

resolution, the number was somewhat in

Mary claimed every mother and daughter

the reasoning whereby the dear girls en-

result was in every case the same. All

ment used was that to see the fair tragedi-

session of I-Wang-Ye. a Chinese mandarin,
he at once opened negotiations with him
for its purchase. Many months elapsed be-
FORE he succeeded in procuring it, and many
more ere he had it safely in New York
Mrs. Mary Jane Morgan wanted it and got
it for $4,000.
AT the sale last Monday the dainty relic
of the Kang-he period was tenderly shown
TO the art worShipers. Auctioneer Thomas
j. Kirby knew that il would bring big
price, and passed quickly from the first bid
of $4,000 until the remarkable figure of
SIS, 900 was reached, when it was knocked
down TO Mr.. w. Il. Walters of Baltimore.
through the agency of Mr.. J. f. Sutton of
the American Art association.
The Baltimore papers seemed to be in
doubt as to whether Millionaire Walters
was really the owner.
Mr.. j. +. Sutton, the buyer, said to a
World reporter yesterday afternoon: 81
wish it understood. once for all, that
bought the vase for Mr.. W. T. Walters.
When it reaches its destination, as it will
in few days, trust that the Baltimore
papers will no longer prevaricate about it.
1t is very interesting, too, to notice how the
papers deplore the large price paid for it.
There are not more than forty of its kind in
existence and it is no doubt the finest speci-
men. 1t value, while owing of course to
its beautiful tint, is also enhanced by its
rarity.
''Mr. Robertson went to great trouble and
expense to procure it. We did not buy the
vase for Mrs. Morgan, but of course were
willing to sell it to her for SIS, O00." The
misrepresentation which Mr.. Sutton refers
TO was an article published in the Baltimore
Sun of March 10, which reads as follows:
The New York papers yesterday contained
varied accounts of the sale of the celebrated
crushed-strawberry vase from the collection
of the late Mrs. Mary Jane Morgan. The pa
pers all agreed on the statement that the pur-
chaser was MIR. William T. Walters, and that
the price paid was $4,000. Mr.. Walters re-
turned to Baltimore yesterday. To Sun re-
porter said: 1.-The idea that should nav
$4,000 for the vase is ridiculous. j neither
bought il myself nor did any one else buy il
for me; nordid buy It for any one else.''
Continuing the Sun says:
The impression now seems to be that the
curious little vase was bought i'm by the Art
society, which sold il TO the Mrs. Morgan for
$4,000, and under whose auspices the sale
was conducted. One theory is that the So
ciety had already sold it for about So, 900 and
bought it to make their bargain good, even if
they lost $4,000 by doing so. Another theory
is that the society, having charged Mrs. Nor
gan $4,000 for the little eight-inch-high piece
of porcelain, were bound to see that IL sold
for "a higher figure for their own credit, even
If money was lost by the transaction. That
the society could well afford TO lose money to
save their credit is evidenced by the fact that
their commission, 10 per cent, on the sale
have already reached Yearly S1OO, 900, and the

1t is the Lenten season when society, like
the flowers that draw in their petals at sun
set, Slumbers for forty days to awaken

Easter morning. And most religiously is
the season observed in this city. The mu-
sic that two weeks ago was waltz is now
changed to more sober strain. The violin
has been packed in the box, the bow
looSened and the lively notes have died
away. In their place has come the mellow
music of the organ to some more thoughtful
music, and the echoes that they wake comes
from the walls of the churches instead of
the ball room. The notes do not reach all.
but so many are they and wide are their
echoes that the whole city is soothed by
them, and those that do not listen with
bowed heads are soothed into a refreshing
languor that is much needed and most ac-
ceptable after the gayety of the past two or
three weeks.
