There was a man in Seattle lately
who owns a mine located probably
further north than any mine in the
world. He is j. G. tsreen, and his
mine is called sthe. 0malilk mine. It's
situated on the Fish river, in the ex-

their wages until after the year work

taken from the mine has been brought
down to San Francisco and sold. They
are then paid off and receive from

Then, still clu tc hing the weapon

''See!" he said hoarsely "These

on the sparkling gems and a spasm
of pain convulsed his features. ''Yes,

he said, but your sudden movement

MONEY LENDING.
1t Was the Leading Business in An
Client Greece and rome

1t Was the Leading Business in An
cient Greece and Rome.
Unlike the Greeks and Jews, the
Romans were not particularly gifted
with the commercial instinct and long
remained a poor and frugal people,
using a copper coinage. Silver was
only introduced in 1853 B. c., just be-
fore the Punic wars, nor did the
precious metals become abundant un-
til after the fall of Carthage, more
than century later. Between the
death of Cato, however, and that of
Cicero, in the year 43 B. c., a COM
plete social revolution took place.
Treasure poured in from many con-
quered countries, the accumulations
grew to be vast under Julius Caesar,
and under Augustus, when the civili-
cation eliminated, the flood was at the
full, and the currency was made BIZ
metallic.
Meanwhile natural selection did it's
resistless work. Masses of capital
were concentrated in the hands, OF
those who were economically the
strongest, and a fortune of $500, 900
was thought poverty by the wealthy.
Even so late as the fifth century, fam
lilies of the second rank had incomes
of that amount.
OF all the ways under the empire in
which moneyed capital could be en-
ployed none seemed to be so lucrative
as usury, for, the structure of society
favored the trade of the money lender
At home politics engulfed fabulous
sums. Marc Antony, while still
youth, owed $250,000 while Caesar
owed $1,250,0OO before he held an
office. Added to this was the general
extravaganza. A man Of moderate
fortune, like Cicero, for example,
usually lived beyond his means, and
was in constant difficulty with his
creditors.
Yet Rome was comparatively a poor
field, says the Fortnightly Review, for
there the rate of interest was not Gus
tomarily more than II per cent, and
was often lower. 1t was in the
provinces that the rich harvest was
reaped, for the fiscal system was SO
oppressive that the inhabitants had to
have money at any price, and they
were sorely squeezed through many
generations. Verres lent at 24 per
cent in Sicily, Brutus at 48 per cent in
Cyprus, while Seneca, who was worth
about $12, 900, 900, made usurious con-
tracts in Brittany.

Speculation in stamps.

just before the Zulu war there was
in Mauritius a stamp collector who
was friend of the local postmaster.
One day he learned that there was to
be a clearance of old stock and OBJ
tanned permission to buy it all as
waste. 1t occurred to him that he
might do the same at other small
colonial postoffices and acquire stamps
without difficulty. One of his Mauri-
titus stamps he sold not long ago for
81, 250, and, according to the Man
chester Courier, he has already made
between 100000 and $3.50. 900 by his
investment.

Sidewalk Cases.

Relative to the sidewalk obstruction
cases, Attorney Thomas, to whom a letter
bearing upon this subject was recently
referred, says in an opinion to the Com
missioners:
THE two classes are distinguishable in
this, that in the louisiana avenue cases
the persons proceeded against are occupy
ing the sidewalk for private business pur
poses. They are not in all cases occupy
ing it themselves, but in some cases rent
1t, and derive revenue of the privilege.
This has been determined over and over
again to be Illegal In the case of the lum-
Der dealers, they are charged with &C.
cupying the parked spaces on certain
streets for storage purposes. 1t is not
space set aside for sidewalk purposes. and
such occupation has not been the subject
of judicial investigation and decision.
whilst there is a material distinction
between the parking cases and the side
walk cases which an interested party
might not readily see, think, as a matter
of administration, 1t would be we'll to treat
all the cases alike and suspend further
prosecution in both classes Until a decision
by the Court of Appeals can be obtained in
the pending cases."
The opinion was approved by the Com
missloners except as to the sidewalk cases.

Rev. VIM. Brooks Gets in Serious

An itinerant representative Of the cloth,
Rev. VIM. Brooks, colored, was locked up
last night at the station here on a charge
of obtaining money under false pretenses.
While appearing to represent Maria john

pension. he collected divers small sums
from her, S. IS and 49, which, 1t is charged,
he applied to personal uses. The Rev. Vim.
Brooks dealings were brought out through
a visit to Maria Johnson Of the pension
agent she had entrusted her case to and
with whom the pension candidate thought
Brooks was dealing. He knew nothing Of
the reverend fellow, who claimed to have
given him 81, So and 81 Last night he re-
inforced Maria's charge by appearing
against BROOKS at the station. The Rev
VIM. Brooks gave his age as seventy nine.

EXCURSIONS.

The Boston House Employees Relief AS
ISOLATION gave its fifth annaul excursion to
Marshall Hall last evening on the steamer
Manchester, the event being the most sue
cessful one In every way that has ever been
given by this organization. When the
steamer pulled out from her wharf the
crowd was immense and filed every nook
and corner of the large boat and insured
the financial success of the excursion be-
yond doubt. The rain, which fell in tor
rents just the steamer reached the Hall
did not materially affect the pleasure of
the occasion, and all the attrac tons at this
popular resort did a rushing business. The
dancing pavilion, however was the greatest
feature in demand, and from the arrival to
the departure of the boat it was crowded
by tireiess dancers. Prof Schroeder's or
chestra rendered selections on the way
down while the Imperial Mandolin Banjo
Club geined applause for the manner in
whlch they played several numbers on the
way home. Those in charge of the affair

THE PROCTOR CASE.
A Difference of Opinion MS to the
Result.

Result.
So far as the trial board Is concerned the
investigation of Detective Proctor's meth
DDS in arresting George Maxwell and Miss
lyman for alleged violation of the Edmunds
act is ended. The witnesses in the case
have all been heard, and when the testi-
mony Is typewriter the Commissioners
will have an opportunity to read what has
been said and pass upon the case. When
the board convened at police Headquarters
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Mullowny, the
prosecuting attorney, was on hand to give
evidence. He had given testimony the day
before, and had not remembered CONVEX
sation alleged by Detective Proctor to have
taken place between them. After leaving
the room his memory was refreshed, and
yesterday he appeared before the board to
tell Of the interview, corroboretinS In part
what Detective Proctor had said.
Inspector Holknberger and Detectives
Gallaher and Rhodes gave evidence, telling
of their connection with the affair. Inspec-
tor Hollnberger first objected to having
anything to do with the case, and later,
when Mr.. Mullowny made the request, he
detailed Detective Proctor on the case.
When Reporter Johnson of the Post was
called he was asked to give the source of
his information about the case, but be de-
clined to answer. He failed to understand
just what his presence there at the house
had to do with the charge against the off,
Ger, and Mr.. Pugh, the prosecuting officer,
spoke of citing him to appear in the Police
Court for contempt.
While the testimony was taken behind the
scenes, and every effort possible was made
to keep the matter secret. 1t is known that
Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny put the
blame on the accused officer, and that In
spector Hollinberger put the responsibility
on Mr.. Mullowny.
Mr.. Pugh, who prosecuted the officer for
the Commissioners, thinks he has made out
a case against Proctor that will call for a
censure of some kind, while, on the other
hand. the officer thinks the evidence shows
that he only obeyed orders and served the
warrant according to law.

Against the Sulphur Plan.

To the Editor of The Evening Start
In last nights Star it was stated that the
treatment of trees by inserting sulphur in
holes bored therein was under considera-
ton by those in charge of such matters,
the idea being that the sap would absorb
and carry tho sulphur throughout the tree.
If those interested will please refer to THE
Country Gentleman" issue Of April 20,
1858, page go volume XI, they will find
there the results of practical tests by Eben
Wight corresponding secretary Of the
Massachusetts horticultural Society, which
show that no sulphur will be absorbed by
the sap, and hence it will not benefit the
trees in the slightest. G.
