of means are taking hold with unusual
vigor and confidence
All the old gold camps are receiving q
new impetus and the gulches and ra-
vines that for years have been worked in
primitive way are now being equipped
with improved methods OF working and
by the coming of another season there
viii be such a product obtained as will
fully astonish the old pioneer who long
since contented himself with the accepted
theory. that these diggings were worked
out. All because the rocker could not
pc made as remunerative as in the days
of long ago.
The introduction of capital is bringing
about many changes and a new era is
dawning in this inexhaustible gold belt
investors from every section of the
country are coming In and taking advan-
tage or the opportunity offered. Nego-
uations one after another are pending
and almost daily deals are consum-
mated.
Yesterday in this city an important sale
or placer ground took place. The Guth-
er1dge & Thornburg ground situated on
the north fork of the John Day was
transferred to Utah syndicate for the
neat sum of $4,000. The purchasers were:
T. II Jennings, of Salt Lake, and B. S.

of Park City. The necessary papers of
transfer were duly executed and the pur-
cchasers will make arrangements at once

THE FRENCH MoNTs DE PETE.

! [From The Contemporary Review]
! In no country are municipal pawn
shops more highly developed than in
France, and in no city does the insti-
tuition bulk so largely in public interest
as in Paris. There is no general law
regulating monts de piete in France.
The business of lending money on
pledges is removed from the control of
individ uals and the establishment
of pawnshops is made a matter of local
and municipal concern. Certain funda-
mental and guiding principles and gen.
eral regulations have been laid down
from time to time and applied to diff
ferent towns, but the details of adj
ministration are left largely to local
action. The municipal pawnshops are
closely associated with the Town
Councils, the hospitals, and the charity
bureaus. The rate of interest and
period of loans, and other details of
management, are settled by the gov
erning authorities. There are muni-
cipal pawnshops in forty-four towns
in France. Certain monts de piete
which have been endowed, such as
those Of Montpelier and Grenoble
charge no interest at all. The highest
rate charged is II per cent. per annum,
as compared with % per cent, the
lowest in England. In some cases
small pawns are taken gratuitously.
In no case does it appear that the in
stitutions are burden to the rate
payers, but, on the contrary, are made
the means of assisting the INDECENT
sick
In Paris the mont de piete is manag-
ed by an administrative council ap-
pointed by the project of the Seine and
the government. It differs in many
respects from the English pawnshop.
Its scope is wider and its usefulness
greater. It is a more respectable insti-
tuition. It}has all the dignity of a mu-
nicipal institution. 1t serves as the
poor mans bank, and sometimes as
the rich mans safe deposit. 1t is used
by small tradesmen as a means for
raising capital to develop their bust
ness, so much so that it does most
business when the people are. most
prosperous. 1t does not lend sums
under ST., but, on the other hand. re-
ceives a greater variety of articles than
our pawnshops. 1t differs in no re-
spect from its English counterpart
than in the rate of interest which it
charges, being limited to per cent
per annum, and 1 per cent. duty on
the value of the pledge. Tne first
Paris mont de piete was established in
1777, and. after being suppressed for a
few years during the revolution, start
ed afresh in 1901, and since then has
been keeping pace with the growth of
the city. 1t is more than self-sup-
porting institution, as it makes a. pres
ent to the Public Aid department and
the hospitals every year
