A good many mining investors; wearied with disappointment in the chase for wealth, have de- clared with bitter emphasis that they would never put dollar in a mine that assays or is said to assay very high. So many of these have proved failures that there has been, during the last decade, a revulsion of opinion in favor of low-grade quartz properties in stead of rich ones. That the feel ing is a sensible one is easily dem onstrated by showing the larger percentage of success in working the large, low-grade properties than in any other kind of mining. The best paying and most perma- nent gold mines in America are properties like the Homestake in the Black Hills, which have divid- ed upwards of four millions among stockholders; the Treadwell in Alaska, which is said to be paying S3,000 per day profit; and the Ply mouth Consolidated in California, whose net incOme has been almost as much as the Homestake's. All these, and many more of the most successful gold mines in the world, work no ore producing more than S1O per ton. It might, were there not notable exceptions, be deemed almost rule that paying and per manent gold quartz mines have no rich rock.-Oregonian.

prevent intimidation and bribery. The state
prints the ballot and enforces secret voting.
Each voter is furnished with ballots of all
kinds. The bill then says: each elector
shall, upon receiving such ballots from the
ballot clerks, forthwith select one ballot Of
each of the kinds which he intends to vote at
such election, and make such alterations, il

not furnish to any one person information in
regard to the way that any voter cast his bal
lots. Only voters and election officers are to

A Romantic story.

A story is told in Brooklyn society Of the
sudden appearance of former resident with
a large diamond and an ambition, equally
glittering, to marry a former sweetheart if
he could He had been to Australia, made
pile and was coming back to stay long enough
to get a wife, give her the diamond, marry
her, and take her back there. Unfortunately,
the girl Of his choice was engaged and about
to marry The Australian went sadly away
without having shown his diamond, and in a
day or two he gave it to another old acquaint-
ance. Then he called upon the lady Of his
choice to bid her gOod-by, and she told him
that she had been thinking the matter over,
and had found that she loved him better than
she loved the man to whom she was engaged.
Back went the young man to the girl to whom
he had made present Of his diamond and
persuaded her to give it to him and to take
its worth in money or in another jewel. He
then took the diamond to the girl for whom
it was intended, and she became his wife and
they have sailed for Australia.-New York

money, it was not incument upon him in
law or equity. He did it Of his own free will
and accord because he believed it to be the
right thing for him TO do; and it may be
truly said that few men, no matter what
their bank account, would have acted with
such noble generosity, particularly as by so
doing he could not save his family from the
modification Of public scandal. Mr.. Amos
Emo is a remarkable man in many ways. In
the first place he amassed his large fortune,
which is estimated at from s10O00,000 to
S20,0O0,OO0, by his own exertions, having
come to New York without dollar in his
pocket. When he began to earn money he
put it into real estate up around Broadway
and Twenty-third street, which was then
pretty far out of town. Now in his old age
he amuses himself with reading and study
ing. Within the last three or four years he
has taught himself Italian, which, though he
hesitates to speak, he understands perfectly,
and can read as readily as English.
