Northwest Mining Review.
The Consolidated Virginia pla-
Ger claim, located on the Clear
water river, thirty miles from
Grangeville, contains 100 acres.
The depth of the gravel is twenty
feet. 1t prospects from the sur
face and two pans taken six feet
above the surface gave a result of
30 cents in coarse gold. A ditch
two miles long gives a pressure of
about 100 feet, and if the ditch
were extended two and Il half
miles farther a 20O-foot pressure
could be obtained. The dumping
ground is all that could be desired
and the property could be worked
ten months in the year, as water is
abundant and the climate semi
tropical. This property is owned
by Spokane and Grangeville par
ties and it will doubtless be worked
on a large scale soon. Other loca-
tons have been made in the vicin-
ity which will doubtless prove val
liable.

help of seven men we chained him

mules then--he called it snakes.
He had all manner of snakes
snakes that shot streams of fire out
of their eyes; snakes with seven
heads and ten horns and tongues
as long as wagon tongues and red
as blood Chat is where he got his
Cleveland bay notion) woody
snakes, crocodiles and alligators,
and white-robed ghosts in abund-
ance, but nary a mule-nary.
That's awful, awful whiskey they
have at Dixie, Il wonder if Blaine

keep growing-from snakes to
moose and from moose to mules.
I would advise my friend Seatick
to try the keely cure before next

EDITOR f. P.-I cheerfully en-
dorse as facts all the incidents
which my old-time pardner "Wood-
tick Williams" recites concerning
his trip over the Elk City trail
with his train of black, white and
Cleveland bay mules as early as
March II. "Woodtick's" reputa-
ton for veracity and virtue is as
unquestionable as that of G.. Wash
ington or Casar's wife. But Wood
ticks memory must surely be at
fault when he states that his 100
white mules were loaded with
flour, while only 102 black mules
were loaded with whisky. The
disproportion of flour to whisky is
too marked and is such glaring
injustice to the old-timers that |
hasten to set the matter right be-
fore the public. What could the
old-timers do with all that flour?

A Child's Opinion of Adam

A quGint little maid who has very de-
cided and clearly defined notions Of her
own, whose home is on the North Side,
close by the Lake Shore drive, and whose
mamma is a communicant of ST. James,
recently very urgently requested that
she be provided with one of "those big
print Bibles that have covers that double
back" She explained that she wanted
to read the Bible all through, as her new
Sunday school teacher had done-she had
just been promoted from the infant room
to the Sunday school proper-before she
was 10 years old. OF course her mamma
was not only willing but anxious to en-
courage so pious a purpose, and she got
the sort of a Bible little Sue wanted.
Each day for an hour or more she read
with careful attention in her new Bible.
When she came to that chapter which
relates how God called Adam ard Eve
to account for their disobedience, Sue
went to her mother, and bringing her
soft covered Bible together with bang
exclaimed with scornful indignation:
DO you know, mamma, that I think
Adam was just as mean as he could be.
EIe wasn't fit to speak to, and if 1 had
been in Ewes place i never would have
spoken to him again. Just think of his
going and telling God ON Eve after he
had eaten the apple too. don't see what
made God listen to such tattler any
way. Chicago Herald.
