Ore for the Seattle Palace.
Galena Miner.


The collection Of ore specimens for the
Seattle mineral palace, has been very in
dustriously prosecuted in this district
during the past week. with the result that
a very creditab!e display has been gath
cred together. and it will make showing
which Silver Checkers may we'll be proud
of. Owing to the.short length OF time in
which the collection had to be made.
specimens from many good properties
could not. of course, be obtained. but
enough has been secured to give very
good idea of the different classes of ore
which are found in this region. This IS
the first collection which approached any
thing near being a complete representa-
ton OF the Silver Creek ore that has ever
been placed on exh,b ilion, and We predict
that the investment Of considerable cap
i,al in this district during the coming
summer may be traced directly to this
source.

All Gone.

The tragedy was on one of our great
Western lakes, and friend of the
family, lady, was asked to break the
news to the only surviving member of it.
There had been eight in all before the
tornado, when the excursion boat went
down, and the one daughter at home
had not yet heard what all the town
knew. Every one feared for her reason,
and no one dared to speak. Gathering
courage for her hard task, the friend
began:
II have something to tell YOU"
The girl knew at once that some fear
full event had happened.

"The tornado struck the boat, and

"But mother2 Where is mother2" The
girls heart stopped for suspense.
"Your mother is drowned, too"
"But TOMB Why isn't Tom here2"
"Tom is gone, too"
The poor girl could only whisper: "Is

"God is left"
The poor girl gave her binding

Hunting Wolves With Hounds,

a correspondent of the Toronto (Can
ada) Globe, writing of the ranching coun
try of the Northwest Territory, says:
There is a certain annual loss of calye.
and colts from wolves. There are tive
kinds of these cattle liftera, the timber
wolf and the coyote, of different habit,
but of precisely similar gastronomi,
tastes. The coyote usually hunts singly,
the timber wolf, n larger and more form
liable animal, is fond of society. They
hang about the vicinity of cattle and ut
tack calves or colts that have strayed 6
little distance or have been lett behind
by the band. There is no virtue in then
while alive. Dead wolves are of value,
as well for their skins as for the satisfac.
! ton and encouragement which they
afford the rancher. They are therefore
much hunted, and various breeds of dogs
have been imported for their benefit.
But they are fast, cunning, and stay
we'll, and, having killed an animal and,
with their friends, dined on him, they
do not return to sup on him, but look
elsewhere. 1t is not therefore, so easy
to find them. They post themselves Oh
convenient eminences and leave for parts
unknown directly they observe cowboy
and dogs, no matter how far off he may
be. They have no use for man.
The timber wolves are very powerful
animals, and when run by Scotch deer
hounds either get into some small brush
or seek a convenient place to turn ut bay
The Scotch deer-hoInd then declines to
hold closer converse with stranger to
whom he has not been introduced. The
boar-hund, GU the contrary, at once
seeks to thoroughly investigate his new
acquaintance, but he is a slow animal,
for whose arrival the wolf can only be
induced to wait by pressing attention on
the part of the other dogs. Ranchers
ure now crossing several breeds of hounds
to obtain speed coupled with power.
They have even tried crossing with
wolves. The new animal cheertully hunts
his vulpine kindred, but is not fast
enough. Packs of hounds, more or less
of foxhound relationship, for dogs
parentage is not always accurately de-
termined, have been tried in Alberta,
but it is found that when tired OF run
ming the wolf lays down, ouens his
mouth and invites some one to come on.
This invitation is only accepted when
the VOLTS attention can be engaged by a
man, or otherwise, in one direction, so
that the hounds can run in on hum in
the rear. Then no room is lett for com.
plant. A great many are killed in one
way or another, but the cowboys say they
are increasing in number.

Learning to Write.

The question is being asked, both in
Europe and America, why il is that the
handwriting of the average individual
continues so poor, despite the time and
effort spent by the schools in teaching
the art of writing. The physicians, too.
aroused by their own personal oDserva-
lions, have raised a protest against ex-
listing methods OF teaching writing.
They hold that both lnyopia aad scoii-
osis, which develop so largely during
school life, are distinctly .raceable and
taught IN writing lessons; that these
harmful postures are due to the uslope~
OF .'slant" of the writing; that the spine
will certainly be twisted unless an up
right style of writing is adopted; that
vertical writing, if substituted for the
prevailing "slopinE" style would obvi-
ate all of these troubles. It has also
shown by experiment that the vertical
style of writing can be Taught more
quickly than the "sloping," and, when
learned, is more iegible. We seem to be
reaching point where tht typewriter

Sweating Silver Coins.

John NJ. Kellcher and George w.
Price were presented by the United
States Grand Jury on the charge Of
"sweating" silver coins. Mr.. Cabell
Whitehead, assayer of the bureau of the
mint at Washington, was the main wit.
ness. He says the "swcating" Of coins
is any process by which portion of the
valuable metal is renewed, aud that it is
a comparatively common ofrensc. The
paraphernal;a supposed to have been
used by Kelleher and Price, and consist
ing Of an electric battery, jars and acid
together with the coins, were submitted
to MIR. Whitehead for investigation as to
their nature. Mr.. Whitehead says that
if the accused are guilty as alleged, they
worked in crude manner.
His examination showed that the sill
yer dollars were placed in solution of
nitric acid, consisting of equal parts of
acid and water.
The coins were allowed to remain in
the solution until the desired quantity of
silver had been dissolved from them,
and in the dollars passed by the two
men this amounted to from 100 to lis
grains, the required weight of each
dollar being 4l25 grains. The coins
arc composed OF nine parts silver and
one part copper, and Mr.. White.
head found the same proportion
IN the acid solution analysed by him.
In order to obtain pure silver from the
solution it is only necessary to add com
mon salt, when the silver will be precip-
itated as chloride of silver. The acid
may be washed away with water, and
the chlorine removed by the addition of
zinc, the result OF which would be the
formation OF chloride of zinc-a cheap
compound soluble in water-and pure
silver. Operators by this method would
save the silver until they had sufficient
to mould into bars or to form the BASH
of counterfeit coins.
a much more common method OF
"sweating" coins, MIR. Whitehead says,
is by means of an electric battery, as in
electro-plating, the genuine coin being
on the positive pole, and the counter.
felt coin, a strip of silver or copper, OF
any other condu ctor of electricity, OIL
the negative pole, with a solution o.
cyanide of potash between. The silver
is gradually dissolved from the genuine
coin, and deposited on the object on the
negative pole. This is the method used
by nearly all counterfeiters, Mr.. White
head says. The best counterfeit silver
dollar he ever saw was made some years
ago in Chicago by this process, and con.
