tory, this shipment is only a forerun-
ner of many more, as a. considerable
body of ore is reported in sight, with
at least another carload lot on the
dump.
There is no question but that the
Mammoth mine is in a fair way TO
eclipse its record of a few years ago as
gold producer. Several new bodies
of ore carrying the yellow metal have
recently been opened up on the lower
levels, and one body on the 1500-foot
level is reported to run as high as 81
ounces in gold. Superintendent Nesbit
is calculated by his thorough knowl-
edge of the property to bring out all
there is in it.
Z. II. Mitchell of Mona was UP last
Friday and Saturday. He states that
there is great activity now in the Mt.

deep. With development the Park,
which was one of Silver City's famous
properties in past years, ought to

Shipments from the district for the
week are as follows:
From the Bullion-Beck mine, 20 car

While not generally known it is
fact that the Eureka Hill Mining COM
pany has fortified itself against future
scarcity of water by the purchase of
the Shoebridge millsite. near the old
Mcintyre mill. The price paid for the
property was $1,000, and we are ad-
vised that it is capable of producing a
supply of water greater than the en-
tire supply secured by all the COM
panies at Homansville. A pipe line
will be laid and pumping plant put
in early. in the spring, and when COM
pleted the Eureka Hill need have no
more fears in regard to their water

HAS GROWN WEARY.
BRYAN NOT PLEASED WITH HIS
LECTURING PROJECT.
Many of His Friends Have Criticised
Him-The letters of the Lecture
Platform Said to Be Anything
But Pleasing to Him.

New York, Dec. pa Herald special
from Atlanta, Ca, says:
William ]. Byan is not at all pleased
with his new role of lecturer. This
developed before he delivered his first
lecture, and is said by those who are
closest to him TO have been intensified
by his first nights experience.
On his way to Atlanta, Mr.. Bryan
showed a good deal of uneasiness about
his lecturing project He inquired
closely concerning what his friends in
the south thought of the idea, and
acknowledged that many of his friends
had criticized his decision. Those who
talked with him were strongly inn
pressed by the idea that he regretted
his decision, and would like to get out
of his contract. The criticisms which
impression on him.
A man who has been in close touch
with the lecture scheme. yesterday ex
pressed the opinion that there would
be no so lectures or anything like that
number. Bryan is plainly Disguised.
To tell the truth, his lecture was not
a success, while the Grand Opera was
file to the doors and the audience
nun. bered 400 people, the receipts are
said to have been only $1,534. Deduct
ing the $1,000 paid to Mr.. Bryan and
the expenses for hire of the theasAa,
printing, etc, the margin of profit L..
tc Mr. Bryan's manager would not be
sufficient to encourage him to continue
the series. The audience was large
and sympathetic but as a lecturer Mr..
Bryan lacked the fire and eloquence
that were expected of him, and the
people who paid to hear him were dis
appointed. He made a conventional
address in a conventional manner. The
letters of the lecture platform are evil
IDENTIFY not to his liking.
The announcement that McBee, the
railroad mali VINO has been back of the
contract which Manager Comstock
made with Mr. bryan, has transferred
his interest to an eastern club, is
regarded here as the beginning of the
end of the lecture tour.
1t is true that Mr.. McBee's railroad
superiors objected to his name being
used in Connection with the Bryan ven
ture, and it may be that he is simply
getting out of the business by a gen
uine transfer. 1t is rather significant,
however, that the names of the eastern
men who have taken the contract are
not given. If there is a chance for
Bryan to get out of that contract he

SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE SHOP

Machinery hadn't as yet appeared
And men were rated men;
No pile of metal had yet been reared
To do the work of ten.
Before his block from to 6
The dusty cooper toiled.
Pausing betimes for sundry kicks
On heading timber spoiled.
On Monday morn, with wages spent
And throat as dry as punk,
Each roundly swore. with firm intent.
He'd never again get drunk.
Let others be fools, if so they chose.
A1is folly was hurled afar;
1.-The mans an ass said he. who blows
His dollars across the barr
Nowhere. 1 warrant, could anyone find
A soberer set than they:
troublesome conscience faced each
With scores that none could pay.
So. all week long their hammering rang
Out through the windows DID,
And many the jovial songs they sang
And many the tales they told.
For Toll. well fed. is as light of heart
(And lighter / think. of head
AS Capital dwelling alone, apart,
By COLDS exactions led
44owever that be. or false or true,
When Saturday night came round
The Devil had labor enough for two
Recovering captured ground.
With cash in hand our thirst came back
Old Satan looked out for that
So Jim bought liquor for Joe and Jack,
And Peter put up for Pat
A burly Celt refilled the bowls
That seldom were empty, quite,
All, never were mortals with merrier souls
Than ours on Saturday night
Twas wrongl all wrong! 1 grant you
that:
And never again shall I
Touch glasses with Jimmy or Jack or
Pat,
AS in the days gone by.
I'm happy to see such sinful ways
Have passed beyond our ken;
Machinery does the work these days.
And boys the work of men.
It's proper enough the man of wealth
Should buy his wine and drink.
The man at the block must guard his
health
In order to work and think.
Modern conditions confront him now:
His brain must needs be clear
The change may benefit him, but how
II doesn't as yet appear.

Preaching'S but spinning top,

Her parents are Russian Poles and be-

The girl had worked only two months
at the SaUquoit Silk mill. When she

factory and waited around, but got no

Not being able to speak or understand
English to any extent he was quite in

Greatest Event Of the Day.

The auction sale at the japanese Fair.
227 Washington avenue, which began
Tuesday at $50 In the afternoon and
7.3O in the evening, was the beginning
Of one OF the most exceptional auction
sales ever held in Scranton.
Mr.. Stern, who has recently returned
from Japan, made the afternoon quite
enjoyable by relating about the wonder
full art Of the Japanese, giving the
names of the different wares and de-
scribing the decoration OF every article
sold as well as showing the wonderful
skill and ingenuity with which they
pack the goods in rice straw, proving
to the audience how impossible it was
to repack and transfer the goods after
once removed from the original pack
ages. For that reason the goods were
sold at auction, absolutely to the high
est bidder, and all who attended the sale
We're fully convinced 1t was an abso-
lutely honest auction sale, conducted
on such refined principles that it
seemed more like an afternoon at an art
lecture or a. "Trip to Japan" than a
conventional auction sale, except for
the fact that the goods were sold at
such astonishingly low prices that sew
eral times Mr.. Stern gave the goods
and distributed them among the aud
ience as souvenirs.
1t is simply a question of disposing Of
the stock, regardless of what it will
bring, and those who are desirous of
decorating their homes with works Of
high art will be convinced that by at
tending these sales every afternoon at
go and evening at 7.SO they will enjoy
the opportunity of a lifetime to pur-
chase bargains far below cost of impor-
tation. AS every article must be sold
any child can buy at these sales. See
ing is believeing. Go and judge for
yourselves.
