Tennyson's Barber Talks.

One of the most communicative among
Lord Tennyson's %neighbors is, says the
London Telegraph, the village barber, who,
like most of his kind, adapts himself to
many trades and callings. This ~tonsorial
artist is also in demand at entertainments
for the display of his talent as a conjuror.
On q certain occasion he was invited to give
An exhibition before Tennyson and a small
party of guests, and he tells with supreme
satisfaction how he puzzled the great poet by
one of his feats of p7etidiRitation. 1t seems
that he counted out 10 shillings into Lord
Tennyson's hand, telling him to hold them
tightly, But a few minutes afterward,
When he required the money again, there
was only eight shillings. The look OF as
constituent on his lordship's face was indie
%scribable, while the laughter of the other
guests at the situation was Enthusiastically
hearty. In this hiIarity, it ii needless to say,
the poet most good-temperedly Joined. With
the license usually claimed by such perform
ers, the amateur professor of legerdemain
said: II don't doubt yer honesty, my lord,
but 1 gave you ten %shillinRs. l will now try
her ladyship'-with the result, of course,
that he found more than he wanted. At
the conclusion of the entertainment, Lord
Tennyson expressed his pleasure at the ex-
hibition, and did SO, as the delighted bar
Der tells his friends, in these terms: "Your
feats were very clever, Mr.. -, and it is a
great credit to the village that it can boast
of such talent"

vanderbilts Said to Want tho Union Pa
cifc. Rio Grando Deal.
Important developments in the affairs of
the Union Pacific railroad are expected this
week, says the New York Times. A meet
ing of the recently appointed financial COM
mittee, of which Pierpont Morgan is the
head, will be held to-day in New York. It
is probable the outcome of the meeting may
be of greater significance than the mere
putting into effect of a scheme for carrying
the floating debt. Rumors that the Wander
bilts are to take control of the property are
received with serious consideration in Wall
street, where J. Pierpont Morgan's close re-
lations with the Vanderbilts are duly APP
preoiated. 1t is we'll known that when the
Gould-Dillon contingent first approached
Morgan with a request for aid in straight
ening out the finances of the Union Pacific
company, they met with a. chilling reoep-
tion. When finally Morgan consented to
take charge of the scheme for temporarily
d~isposingof $19,OO0,0 900 of the floating debt.
it transpired that he exacted concessions that
practically put him in control of the prop

great prairie rolling away to the horizon,

with a shudder.

The Lead Ores of Kootenay.

What is to be done with the lead ores of
Kootenay district is a question, says the
Nelson, B. c., Miner. The duty imposed
on lead ores and lead bullion by the United
States bars shipment to that country unless
the ores and bullion run high in silver, and
the low price of lead in Canada and Great
Britain prevents profitable treatment of the
ores in Canada. Ii the consumption of lead
in Canada was equal to the expected output
Of our galena mines, the question woukd be
easy of solution, provided, always, that the
Dominion government would place q duty
on pig lead equal to that imposed by the
United States. Although reliable data is
not at hand, it is stated that the total con-
sumption of lead i'll Canada is less than
5000 tons annually-an moun hardly
equal to the product of a fifty-ton smolter
u continuously. There appears to be but
one way out of the difficulty,
that is, by reciprocal arrangements
with the United States; on condition that
Our ores and bullion be admitted free into
the United States, the-free importation of
all machinery used in mining to be granted
by Canada. The Dominion government
should be advised as to the situation, and
consulted as to the best way in which to
bring about the desired result. Public
meetings for a discussion of the question
should be held in every camp in the district.

In the Belt Mountains.

A property which is showing up remark
ably we'll under development is the Hard
scrabble lode, situated near the head of
Gold Run, says the Belt Mountain Miner.
A tunnel has been run in twenty feet and
from tho level a winze sunk eight feet at
the bottom of which the vein widens to
three feet containing eighteen inches of
pay streak composed of Ralena and sui
phuret. The owners, Mesgrs. Philips,
Riley and Mallory, consider they possess
one Of the best prospects in the camp. which
intelligent development will give results
equal to the richest in the district.
A change of management having been
recently effected an entirely new policy will
be ~inauRurated with regard to the develop
ment of the Morrison d Woodkurst. Thus
far u shaft 100 feet in depth has been sunk,
a tunnel of seventy-fve or eighty feet run
in and II quantity of ore is on the dump and
in sight. With each step az the work has
progressed the indications haye appeared
brighter and brighter. and so confident are
the owners of the property of the ultimate
position which the mine will earn among
the producers OF the state, that at the start
NO outlay will be considered too great. A
shaft is to be I'LL to a 300 foot level below
the present depth of LEO and no ore is to be
shipped until the results are obtained from
this depth. A large body of men will be
employed Immediately and work proceeded
with as speedily al possible.

8 Upper Basin Mines.

The prospects in the upper basin are
looking like mines, says the Boulder Age.
The Robert Burns mine has started up in
full blast and is in the hands of Charles
Gable, of Butte, who has a bond on it for
$4,000. The Burns il putting forth some
fine ore.
The Morning Star has Il shaft 100 feet
deep and shows fine galena ore from a
depth of seventeen feet to the bottom Of
the shaft. At the commencement of the
forty-foot level and down eighteen feet the
ore ia three feet in width without a break.
The Ora Ann mining company has driven
a 155-foot tunnel on one Of it's properties
and are now cross-cutting to catch the lead,
which they now expect to see at any
moment.
The Winter and Brown placer mine has
shut down and made a cleanup of $7,465.
The Penn placer company also made a
cleanup of 81 800.
Upper Basin has the finest mountain road
in Jefferson county, and it has all been
built by prospectors.

Find on the st. Regis.

Angus Sutherland has returned from a
trib to the st. Regis, says the Mullan Tri-
bune, whittier he had gone to look at a
prospect located by VIM. Sutherland last
year, and which is situated six miles from
the new railroad station called Saltese,
formerly Silver. This station is thirty
three miles east of Wallace. on the Mon
tana side of the Bitter Root range. Mr..
Sutherland brought with him a small
sack full of specimens Of ore from
the claim. This is all copper-bearing
and assays very high in copper. The ledge
is stated to be seven feet wide, and uniform
in character, with strong walls we'll defined.
The specimens which MIR. Sutherland has
consist OF red oxide of copper, some with
copper pyrites mixed with red oxides and
some apparently high grade copper ore. In
some of the pieces native copper Is visible.
The owners of the location are August
Sutherland. George P. White, Ezra Baird
and William Sutherland. Bill Sutherland
is said to have ten locations in the neigh
borhood. Angus and George T. are SO
elated over the grand showing of their pro-
perty and this rich character of the ore
that Angus will return Immediately n
look after the interests of the company and
prosecute the development work. If the
ore ID as rich as indicated by assays-40 per
osnt-it promises to out a figure in mining.
