A FLouRY CLOUD.
A Five-Year-Old's Distressing Adventure
on a Hot bay.

A Five-Year-OId's Distressing Adventure
on Hot Day.
A four-besprinkled battalion of small
bovs moved along the Western boule-
ward, near Ninety-second street, yester-
day afternoon. Every face was study;
sadness, anxiety and -four contributed
to the expressions. They moved slow
lv because in advance of them was
forerunner. He was diminutive speci.
men of humanity, aud he was spotless-
ly white from his little hat crown to
the toes of his sturdy shoes. The tears
were flowing over his checks and from
his lips poured volume of sound.
The unfortunate 5-year-old had been
sent to the corner grocery for -four and
had dropped the parcel. He had tried
to pick it up and it had emptied itself
over him. His vociferous demonstra-
tions of grief brought flock OF diminu-
tive friends They appreciated the
gravity of the situation.
They scooped up as much as their
primy little hands would hold. The
5-vear-old looked on for a minute hope
| fully. Flour never looked so white to
him before and he had no idea there
was so much -four in the world. The
four pounds spread about good bit.
| There were six friends, and they
couldn't begin to lift it all with their
| twely. small, black paws. The baby
brain grasped the truth. The 5-year-old
renewed his walls and directed his
erring and four.tipped toes toward
home.
AS he announced his distress he drew
interested spectators all along the line.
But the 5-year-old was philosophic. II
was not alone or chiefly the loss Of the
-four that troubled him; it was his own
undignified situation.
"Mamma-dear," he walled, please
-take-some- kerosene oil-and rub
nv clothes hard-and then-take some

DELINQUENT TAXES.

TIN forms had gone to press, we re-
ceived letter from Assessor Ma

delinquent on the 18th We regret
that hi~ notice was not received in

There is tendency among CAPT
talists 10 overlook this great source
OF wealth and field for Investments
simply because they are unacquain-
ted with mining matters and mining
ms business. They looking upon
mining as a question Of luck only.
being ignorant Of the fact that
mines are made" in uinety-nine
cases out Of hundred--not found.
The greatest source Of wealth that
Utah possesses is her mines. which
are rich beyond computation and
inexhaustible, this applies to Idaho
alsol, and yet men Of means will
hardly credit the statement that
any one mine ever produced a mil.
lion dollars. let alone ten million
and would almost as soon believe
in an assertion that the silver they
jingle in their pocket grew on trees
like apples. They are incredulous.
and their ideas about mines and
mining are very vague and musty.
The Ontario is a made" mine---so
is the Bullion-Beck, the Centennial.
Eureka, the Eagle and the Mann
moth; all of which are big produ-
GERS and dividend payers. The On
tario has produced $12,o00,000 on
an original investment Of $4,000,
and yet this sum was necessary to
make this mine a producer; and the
returns have been Eingly.
And still any of our capitalists
can secure to-day just as good an
investment i'm almost any of the
mining claims offered by impecu-
mons claim-holders. These claims
require capital to make mines Of
them. II is estimated that it cost
s1S foot TO sink shaft or drive n
tunnel. Some poor prospector has
n claim that has splendid indica-
tions, but be is stuck-the $1S ia
sink the one foot is lacking, let alone
the means to sink 200 feet TO where
vast treasures await his enterprise
and pluck. II is rarely that he can
secure help, for capital is afraid of
him and afraid of the mining bust
ness--and yet an investment in good
properties is sure to yield enormous
returns. The best mining men are
practical miners. They know good
thing when they see it, and as a
general thing they keep their sue
cesses to themselves, and If they can
quietly buy up all promising pros
poets. while the ordinary business
man hears but little Of mining mat
tiers unless it is about some sailed
mine or a clever brick swindle.
There liz big money in mining and
we hope to see the day when the
mining industry will occupy a more
prominent position in the business
transactions of our moncyed men,

The miners employed in the An
aconda copper mine are terribly ex-
cited over the report that the spirit
Of Michael Carroll is having things
its own way on the 7O0-ft level Of
the mine. Sogreat has the temerity
of the men working on this level
become that the superstitious ones
have refused to work thereon. Those
who cain to have seen the apart
ton say that in addition to strange
noises being heard on the 100 level,
the spirit perches itself on the tim
bers in the slopes and gives orders
ms to the manner il which the work
should be performed. Mike Carroll
was at ono time foreman Of the
mine, but last winter he died of
pneumonia. At times he was a se-
we're boss. and in an alteration with
one Of the miners a few years ago
struck aud killed him with an iron
bar. The spirit Of the victim IN also
said TO be- haunting the mine and
has been seen in company with that
of Carroll. The matter leaked out
through the refusal of some Of the
men to descend to the level mem
toned.-Anaconda Standard.

IDAmoS PARADISE.

Butte telegram TO the Anaconda
Standard: George FitsOhen and wife
returned to-day from three weeks
visit 10 Boise. Like everybody else
who has visited Boise valley, Mr..
Fitschen grows eloquent when
speaking of that favored locality
lie says that three weeks ago. when
he arrived at Boise, the landscape
was more like an artists picture
than scene from real nature.
Trees were loaded down with prunes,
apples and other fruits whiah ex-
listed in such great profusion that it
was found impossible to dispose Of
them, and he declares that he saw
more fruit 60 TO waste and rot in
the orchards than would be required
to supply the market Of Butte. To
a person accustomed to paying such
high prices for fruit as are charged
in Butte and where fruit is such n
luxury, he says the sight was a sad
one and caused him to ponder over
the wastefulness Of man and regret
that the people of Butte could not
have little Of that which Ia its
owners was valueless. With in
creased
RAILROAD FACILITIES
the people Of Butte say all this
fruit could be shipped to market
and made the source of great rev.
enue, but under the present cir.
cumstances this is impossible.
Speaking Of railroads reminded Mr.
Fitschen that the people Of Boise
and that portion Of the State Of
Idaho in which the capital is lcca.
ted have not yet abandoned the pro
ject of direct road to Butte. III,
says they are more determined thar
ever that the road shall be built
and are doing everything in theil
power To bring about fruition o
T. cir long cherished hope. Engineer,
are still at work preparing maps
and profiles, which, with lot d
other data, are TO be submitted TO O
syndicate in the East in hope OF
enlisting its assistance in the enter.
prise. The members of the syndi.
cate, it is understood, have ex
pressed their Willingness to organic,
a construction company, provided
that cold facts will verify represen
tations made TO them relative to the
profitableness Of such road. Boise
stands ready TO vote both land and
money in aid of the road, and Mr.
Fitschen says that he is sure if the
people of Butte could realize what q
benefit the proposed road would b.
to them, they would stand ready Il
render all the assistance they car
and secure the construction Of tn,
line as soon AZ possible.

Finding for the Plaintiff.

In support of the well established rule
that justice of the peace always finds for
the plaintiff-that is, for the man that
brings "grist to the mill"-may be cited u
cause that was tried some years ago in
Maryland. The action was against rail
way company for killing the plaintiffs
COW on the company's track. The testi-
mony was all in favor of the company,
tending overwhelmingly to show that the
COW had mo business" on the track. After
the hearing the magistrate promptly de-
cided for the plaintiff. The company's at.
.orney was greatly surprised and asked his
honor upon what grounds he could arrive
at such decision.
He said in reply that the company was
negligent in not putting up signboard
with Look out for the locomotive" painted
on it. But the COW could not have read
it," said the astonished attorney. Very
true" said the majesty of the law, "but it
would have been much worse for the corn.

all the circumstances the company is get
