THE DEAL IS OFF.
De Lamar People Will Not Get the
Black Hornet.
Especial to The Herald

tSpecldl 10 Inc derald.)
BUTTE, Jan. 15.-The Black Hor
net deal is off. The rock upon which
it split was the question of price be-
tween Captain Plummer and the own
ers. The price at which the mine was
held was 100000. Captain Plummer's
offer was $4,000. The fine ore bodies
in the mine have been worked out by
the owners. Large quantities of low
grade ore are left, but how much of
this can be worked at profit is more or
less problematic. The mine did not
show enough in sight to satisfy Cap
tain Plummer's company, the De La
mar, and he could not recommend
them to buy it at the figure asked. If
the ore that had been mined had been
left standing the property could have
been sold to this company at the price
put upon it. The owners do not feel
justified in selling for less than 100000
because of the splendid showing made
by the comparatively small amount
of development work that has been
done.

SOCIAL AND ECONOMICAL INFLU-
ENCE OF THE BICYCLE.

The economic effects of this new
force IN human affairs afford much
material for curious and even amusing
study. It Is estimated that since the
passion got under full Roadway, less
than five years ago, fully 800, 900 600
have been spent in purchasing bicycles
in this country alone. The output for
this year is estimated at from 750 900
to 1,000,0 machines, at an average
price of $50 each. Of course, a new
branch of business of such dimensions
as this must disturb more or less other
kinds of business. A million people
cannot buy bicycles at $50 each and
buy as many other things as they
would otherwise have bought. Natural
iy the dealers in luXuries are the first
to feel the effects. The loudest out
cries come from the makers of watches
and jewelry. Many of them have aban-
doned the business entirely and sub
stituted for it bicycle making. They
say that formerly when a son became
of age or Christmas day came around,
a favorite family present was a watch;
now it is a bicycle The girls used to
save their pin money with which to
buy earrings or a breastpin, or a
locket; now they hoard it for a bicycle.
Not only must the sons and daughters
have them. but the parents as WELL so

direct IN. The daughter who has been
ambitious for a piano concludes that
she will not wait longer, but will get a
bicycle instead since it costs less. There
are many other complaints of injury to
trade which might be enumerated, but
| must content myself with the men
ton of only one other which is, per-
haps, the most moving of all. 1t was
made by a barber in New York City
'"There Is nothing in my business any
longer" he said, 1.-The bicycle has
ruined it. Before the bicycle craze
struck us the men used to come in on
Saturday afternoons and get shave,
and a hair cut, and maybe a shampoo,
in order to take their girls to the the
atre, or TO go out somewhere else in the
evening. Now they go off on q bicycle
and do not care whether they are
shaved or not. You see where it hurts
our business is that when man skips
a shave today, we can't sell him two
shaves tomorrow; that shave is gone
forever. Mr.. J. M. Bishop, in the
August Forum.
