Ladies Who Ride.

Talking of these great ladies who ride,
a row in a royal family has just been
patched up. Princess Luise of Dresden,
wife of the crown prince, has taken to
riding the bicycle. When the Queen
heard of this she was frozen stiff with
horror and refused to admit the daring
young woman to her presence for many
days. At last, however, the princess has
been forgiven. Even the staid Queen
Margherita of Italy has taken to riding
the wheel 1t is said that she practices
it for the purpose of keeping down her
waist. But the triumph of the bicycle is
over that doughty old Tory, the Duke Of
Cambridge, who is ranger of Hyde Park.
For many months the duke refused to
allow BICYCLES within the precincts OF
the park. Then he concluded to tolerate
them there until 10 o'clock in the morn
ing Now they have been allowed to
stay there until II, and 1t is whispered
in London that he is thinking of ex-
tending the time until 2. Some of the
cyclists have even dared to ask for the
erection of a building in the park for
the storage of cycles. This has been
done in Hampton Court gardens. where
cycles are stored for small fee. many
keeping their wheels exclusively for
riding in the park, as it is dangerous
getting through the crowded streets. The
duke has not yet passed on ln4s applica-
ton. Apropos of riding in streets, Mr..
Balfour, the cabinet minister, was riding
in the city the other day, when his wheel
caught between two vehicles and broke
under him, and the minister was forced
to return home carrying his broken
wheel in a hanson cab.

Groupings of an Immense Mineral Lode
on 10000 Acres RECON.
The discovery of a mineral lode is re-
ported at McMinnville, and, if reports
are true, says the Portland Oregonian,
it is the richest deposit that has been
found on the coast for many years. 1t
was made by an old Cornish miner,
Henry Semmens, who has recently been
over the gold fields Of South Africa, and
is president and manager of the Cook
Kitchen mine in Kitsap county, Wash
ington. The lode is said to contain gold,
silver, nickel and copper in great guam
titles, and lies in the foothills of this
place. extending up to and beyond the
summit of the Coast mountains. Crop
pings of the lode have been found on
about 10000 acres, and is a conglomer-
ate of twisted, gnarled and fragmentary,
dark brown and gray rock, both volcanic
and sedimentary. It is said to be similar
to that found in the Transyaal gold
fields, and is, contrary to all known
mineral deposits, found on the Pacific
coast, in the geological formation.
The best assays give about the follow
ing per ton: Gold, $3.50; silver, $3.50;
nickel, per cent; copper, 10 per cent.
