WELL POSTED GLADSTONE.

edge 10 Farreochtng.
A few years ago Mr. Gladstone visited
Oxford. the scene of his youthful triumphs
I'm scholarship, and made the rounds OF
one of the most interesting quadrangles,
the University press, where the famous
Bibles are printed When he had been
conducted through the various depart
ments and had been allowed TO handle tho
Caxtons ana ,theh literary treasures. the
superintendent informed him that the
men employed In the bindery composing
room and other departments had assem-
bled In one place and were anxious to see
him
Mr. Gladstone consented to show him.
self. Entering the assembly room he was
confronted with great throng of work
ingmen who were eagerly awaiting his
coming There were several hearty cheers,
followed by long, awkward pause.
Can you not say "a few words TO them'"
asked the superintendent
About whatp'' asked Mr. Gladstone.
"Talk to them about printing. was tho
iaconic advice
That was enough In moment the
orator was mounted on a box, wiping his
spectacles and beaming upon the printers.
"You are printers" he exclaimed. "Do
you have good wagesY"
Someof the printers cried yes. others no.
"Get the best wages which you can
command, - continued tho orator, "but re-
member that there is something higher
and moro important than the money which
you can earn. 1t is the quality of your
work. 1t is that which makes the work
man what he is. T"
After this introduction Mr.. Gladstone
told the story of n famous man who In
order to obtain "a perfect copy of one of his
books set the type himself and corrected
1t limo by line, as the Oxford Bibles are
revised, and then, passing from one branch
of the subject to another no displayed
much technical knowledge. Nobody ever
told me, suid one of the bystanders, THAT
the Grand Old Man was printer.
Mr.. Gladstone was not n printer, but he
seemed to know hundred things about
the trade which the workmen had never
learned. He had not expected to address
them, and he did not have moro than "a
moments warning, but out of full mind
he was able to speak to them with mar
velous facility.
The printers of University press have
remembered that speech to this day 1t
helped to make every man who heard it
more thoughtful, self respecting work
man.
A similar story is told Of another visit
by Mr.. Gladstone to factory where
anchors and chains were made, i'm tho west
of England Hepersisted i'm going through
the works, and when he emerged from
them he astonished the members of the
firm by telling them not u little about their
business that was new To them

them, "that Mr.. Gladstone was wise
man, but / never would have suspected
that he knew more about anchors and
chains than did"
1t has always been natural for him to rs
simulate knowledge in everyday life. Ev-
erything human has interested him.

FREE CURE FOR men.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His Dis

that mis- fellow men may profit by what

pal that resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to man kind prescrip-
tion which will cure them OF any form OF
nervous debility; relieves them OF all the
doubt and uncertainty which such men
are peculiarly liza BILE to and restores the
organs to natura al size and vigor. As 1t
costs nothing to try the experiment 1t
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack

deeply interested in remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and vigor,
without which they continue to live an
existence Of untold misery. As the remedy
In question was the result OF many years'
research as to what combination would be
peculiarly effective In restoring to men
the strength they need, 1t would seem that
all men suffering with any form OF nerv-
ous weakness ought to write for such a
remedy at once. A request to II. Z. Olds,
Box 1,625, Kalamazoo, Mich., stating that
you are not sending for the prescription
out of idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use OF the medicine by giving 1t a
trial, will be answered promptly and with

from.
The prescription is sent free and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Olds
can afford to give away his discovery,

NEW YORK. Oct. 2s.-Importing
merchants in this city were taken
somewhat by surprise yesterday on
reading the dispatch from Washington
containing Secretary Olney's order
relative to the consular service. The
new amendment to the consular regu-
lations, which abolishes many of the
fees attached to invoices of foreign
goods shipped to this country will
make great difference in the income
of many consuls, and also in the
amounts paid out by importers in this
country The fee charged has amounted
to about $3.50 an invoice, and as some
houses in this city receive daily from
thirty-five to fifty invoices, this will
be large saving to them.
A reporter, on going through the inn
porting district yesterday, learned that
the action of the secretary had come as
surprise. There had been no organ
lied effort on the part of importers in
this city to have a change made. One
large importing firm did not look with
favor on the change. The firm said
they would rather pay the fee and have
the added protection of the certificate
by the consul as to the correctness of
the invoice. Wooden importers did not
appear to. consider that their business
would be affected in any way by the
reform inaugurated in the consular SER
vice. None of their merchandise came
under the head Of free list. Many i'm
porting houses declined to discuss the
subject until further information had
been obtained

good concentrating ore on the dump.
The ore that was marketed was high
grade and carried values of from 10 to
20 per cent lead. per cent copper, 81
to 1,120 ounces silver, and s1.60 to $100
in gold to the ton, and of this class of
ore there is a very encoura ging show
ing in the mine
The Japan is in the near vicinity of
such famous old producers as the Mono,
the Buckhorn, the Kearsarge, the Hid
den Treasure and the Deseret, all of
which have made great records as rich
producers of the precious metals, and
as the formation in the Japan, so far as
disclosed, is Identical with that of these
old mines, there is every reason to be-
lieve that with development the same
ore zones will be uncovered in this
property.
The company has made ample pro-
vision for extensive work during the
coming winter and has just sent out a
lot of supplies, besides which it is now
engaged in the erection of a. cabin ore
bins and blacksmith shop, and as the
treasury of the company is in good
shape, with all of its treasury stock
disposed of with the exception of 500
shares, there is no reason why the
property should not be on a paying
basis by spring.
The officers of the company are as
follows: Shand Smith, PRESIDENT; H
Cartwright, vice-president; W. F. Shell
ton, secretary, and these with John
Higson, form the board of directors.
The funds of the company have been
deposited with H. 7. Duke, who has
been appointed the treasurer for the
company.

CALL OF UNLISTED STOCKS.
PLACER MINING IN IDAHO.
An Old Mercur Miner Who Is Making
Fortune.

A n. Butts, who was identified with
the early history of Mercur, and who
made a nice little stake in the sale of
some of the most promising properties
Of this camp, and who afterwards fig
ured in several mining enterprises on
the Mother lode. in California, is in the
city shaking hands With old friends.
During the past summer Mr.. Butts
has been engaged in opening up extern
sive placer diggings on Middle Boise
river. in Gilmore county, Idaho, where
he owns 900 acres of ground that runs
% cents in coarse gold to the yard.
These placer diggings are located about
81 miles from the railroad, and ali of
the machinery, including a sawmill
that has been installed at the mines,
was hauled 60 miles by wagon and
then packed for 16 miles on horses and
mules.
During most of the summer, Mr..
Butts has been working about forty
men, and during this time over three
and half miles of ditch and fiume
have been constructed, hydraulic
plant has been installed and everything
is now in readiness for extensive work
next spring Before leaving the
placers for the winter, Mr.. Butts
worked over 1000 yards of gravel from
which he realized $500 and more. As
soon as ne DeSllS MOTh III NAL CH, uc
expects to employ good force and
when he makes a cleanup he will
bring gold galore to this city.
Besides his Idaho placers Mr.. Butts
has been operating in California this
summer, where, in Trinity county, on
the Poker bar, he has so acres of
placer ground that will yield so cents
in gold to the yard. This is new
ground, and during the summer he has
&c scl,
and fiume in its development, and now
he is about ready to begin extensive
operations in the way of taking out
gold. These diggings are to be equipped
with hydraulic elevator, and when
the machinery is all in place large
amount of auriferous gravel can be
handled daily.
Mr. Butts is seemingly in the swim
in his mining ventures, and if he keeps
up his lick, FIVE years from now he can
pose as one of the bonanza kings of the

The Anchor Mining company, which
partially suspended operations some lour
months ago, made a complete suspension
of the production of ore last Monday.

the large number already in enforced idle
ness. A big draft of men occurred at the
Daily mine this week. also. Many of the
men drafted at the DAILY worked on the
pipe line from Bonanza Flat lakes.
Work in TIE bottom of the Rawkeye
shaft was begun this morning. BY old,

NEW YORK, Oct 23.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review, of trade tomorrow
will say:
The event of the week has BEEN the
sensational advance Of wheat to SIC.
for cash on Tuesday, rise of SIC. and
it's fan to II on thursday, gaming ia
on Friday.
The rise was magnified by change
of speculative sellers, who imagined
the advance had gone too far. but at
bottom was based ON an extraordinary
foreign demand, which has engaged
grain vessels from all Pacific as we'll as
Atlantic ports for months ahead. How
great the shortage in ordinary Euro
pean supplies may be, is the point of
doubt and speculation, but none now
question that shipments from the Pa
cific COAST to india and the decrease
in Russian yield are important and the
buying of enormous quantities for eX-
port with engagem of freight room
at higher rates express the belief of
European dealers.
The movement of currency to the in
terror has been only $3.5OO,OO0 for the
week and the market for commercial
loans has been dull. The volume of
business shown by exchanges ms oeen

slider the fact that some of the largest
copper mines in the world today do
not exceed 2 per cent in the red metal,
II makes this a very interesting prop
osition in its present stage of shallow

The most interesting feature of this
new camp, and one that is APT to be
very important factor in bringing it
rapidly to the front is the fact that
it carries such a high proportionaue
value in gold and very little silver,
the highest average in silver out of 100
samples taken from the different pros
poets in the camp showing only 8
ounces, while gold values as high as
500 per ton have been obtained.

finest watered and timbered regions of

Wercur nEercury Notes.

Manager Corey of the Gladstone who
has been in the east for some weeks, ar
ranging for development funds has re-
turned, paid the claims standing against
the ground, and we understand, IS in a
position to push the shaft down to the
ore body.
A force of men and teams commenced
grading for the Brickyard millsite on
Monday and work will be continued un-
til the mill is completed. This makes
two new mills under course of construc-
ton. which will add materially to the
interests of the camp.
Peter Berth ana others are figuring
on putting UP teaching tanks in Skull
Valley, where they have large vein of
soft ore which runs from $3.50 TO $1.43 per
ton. As it will not be necessary to crush
the ore and there is good supply of
water near by the venture should prove
a success.
