20 PER CENT. PROFIT OK s..
CENT ORE.

The really startling report of oper-
atoms during November at the Span
ish mine, California, should give re-
newed hope to every man, woman and
child in this region. Only think!
Ore yielding 65 cents per ton mined
and milled at profit of ID cents per
ton-and (best evidence of ally the
profits paid to creditors on that basis!
The TINES has stated, and re-stated,
and reiterated, during the past few
years, the wen-known fact that gold
ore assaying as low rs 81 per ton paid
u handsome profit, and-it got laugh
ed at for its pains, by lot of preju-
diced persons of the kind who cause
fully one half of the trouble in the
world. But here is confirmation
''strong land stronger) as holy writ
of the fact that even G0.cent ore
nay, 55.cent ore--can pay profit!
This being SO, how we should value
our Gold Belt, since piece of quartz
can hardly be picked up, within its
limits, but what will assay several
dollars per ton!
1t is evident that there will be q
great change there-that the time
cannot be far distant when the Colo
Belt shall be exploited from end te
end, when the borrascas shall all prove
to be bonanzas, and thousands Of min
ers, millmen, teamsters, wood chop
pers and laborers in many callings
will find there renvmerative employ
ment.
And when that time shall come, th'
TINES man, his volumes OF file-paper
for reference, will be able to exclain
without fear of successful contradic

The gentleman who caused the
publication OF the Huntsman letter at
lacking the "Soienoe" AMI its adopts in
the TINES. about "a week age, is now
a regular attendant at the lectures.
Tne letter, it will be remembered, bit
terly denounced the woman, and even
called upon the District Attorney to
institute criminal proceedings against
her. That the gentleman referred to
has experienced such a change of
heart as his presence at the lectures
indicates is not to be wondered at,
when the fact is borne in mind that
he is an intelligent reader and close
student who habitually investigates
every new subject matter which be
comes public, in order to be able to
form an intelligent opinion. The gen
tleman being free-thinker he will
doubtless, upon investigation, reach
tina same conclusion that the TIMES

sophical laws and axioms.

ONE GOOD REASON.

While in Washington, recently, ex-
United States Senator Fair urged the
amending of the Alien Land Law in
So far as it relates to mines, because
(among other reasons) "Americans as
a rule do not buy mines and, the pres
ent generation of mining men getting
old, there will soon be no one left to
operate the mines" unless foreigners
are allowed to do 50. The distinguish
ed gentleman is quite right: Senator
]. p. Jones must be G5. j. 3 Hag-
gin was white haired Is years ago,
and must be all Of 70 years old; j. c.
Flood will not last much longer, as ne
has been reported dead or dying sew
eral times; John w. Mackay must be
all Of 90 years of age, while his partner
Col. Fair himself--is only couple
of years younger; Craig Chambers is
a man "still young" but his means are
not suffi cient to handle one fiftieth OF
our mines. With these and few less
notable exceptions, the list of Ameri-
can mining maguates is about exhaust
ed. All other operators are merely
"promo.ers," "expcrts," or men who
r4nno', unassisted, handle much more
than 100000 propositions. Nor have
the magnates any sons capable Of fill
ing their places.
The law should therefore be amend
ed in the direction indicated.

None of our Gold Belt ore av-
erages lower than IS per ton, while

Hassler, who enjoys the reputation OF be-
inc one Of the best story tellers in public
life you all remember dear old Bean
Hickman, the notorious beat Of ante-bel-
lum days? shall not soon forget my first
meeting with him. 1t was in the carly
days of the war. One day crowd of sol
der boys, myself among the number,
stepped into the rotunda at Wizards
hotel. The first person we met was Beau,
faultlessly dressed and serene, smiling rs
usual. The boys gathered about him and
began plying him with questions.
''Tell US, Beau, said one of the young
sters, how you manage to live without
working"
"Ah," said Beau, drawing himself mp
stiffiy, chats IA secret, and don't tell my
secrets without being paid for them.
He paused for n moment, and cooiiy
counted us over and said: "There are just
sixteen of you. If you'll chip In aquarter
apiece I'll tell you"
In less than thirty seconds sixteen shin
ing twenty-five cent pieces were laid in
Ecau's hand. He satisfied himself that
the number was correct, and then sliding
them deity into his trousers pocket he
faced about and, as he stalked majestically
away, he added: "You wanted TO know,
gentlemen, how / live without working.
Well, this is one way. Ia, la"
And then, as lie disappeared in the
direction of the bar, the boys, with one
accord, shouted "Sold, by JoveW-New

New York Stock Market


New YORK, February 14.-To day was
the dullest known In twenty years. Less
than As, 900 shares traded In up to 2:lo,
and only &C, $50 for the whole day.
Up to Saturday last the brokers attrib-
uted the dizziness to bucket shops, but
now when these places are closed, trading
is lighter than when they were open.
To-day a petition was actively circu-
lated to throw out the stock tickers from
The Stock Exchange and dispense with
wiring quotations for public use. The
naked truth is the railroad situation is
daily growing worse with no sign Of i'm
provement. Meetings do no good East
or West and people won't trade when
shev have nothing TO guide opinions.
In the coal stocks the outlook Is bad.
So look where we will, there ia no en-
courag cement The only news today was
that the Northwestern had offered $2,-
900, 900 bonds and 100000 Omaha bonds
for sale.
This explains the recent selling of
long stock. Bonds are lower, but mac
tive sterling 4sj@s1; money 2@,3.

Catching the Public Fancy.

/ have iii acquaintance who earns Il
handsome living, with money to spare, by
inventing new devices OF all kinds likely
to catch the capricious public fancy. He
has invented toys, bats, advertisements,
inks, pens, pencils and | know not what
else, and is now concentrating his energies
upon Il novelty in stationery. The de-
mand for new styles and shapes in fancy
stationery is constant Amy oddity, how
ever eccentric in color, size or form that
1t may be, is certain 10 go. What he pro-
poses is to presumably put upon the
market black paper and envelopes, to be
written on with white ink. He has per-
fected his device, he AYERS, and expects TO
reap IA handsome fortune by it. For per
sons in very deep mourning, especially
those who have lost wealthy relatives
who have remembered them in their wills,
it should certainly possess unusual
attractions. AS we have had every Other
color in stationery but black, nothing
will suppose, remain after it but for him
to invent some substitute for paper TO
write on. -Trumble in New York News.
