CHARLES EDWIN MARKHAM.

The following sketch of well-known Call
fornia figure appears in the current issue OF
the Book Buyer (Charles Scribner's Sons): Few
among contemporary writers OF verse for
magazines have so clearly proved their right
Edwine Markham. He has the very rare
but much sought capacity for interpreting ma
ture in q convincing wav-of giving voice TO
her more subtitle moods. This is only possible
to one who has lived near her and been under
her profound influence apart from the dis
fractions of the crowd.
Mr.. Markham's early days were spent on a
lonely ranch in California, surrounded by high
pine-covered mountains where his only living
com anions were the cattle and sheep he
herded for his mother. At ID be came in to
possession of copy of Bryants poems, his
first book, with the exception OF q grammar
and an arithmetic, that he had studied dill
gently. Two years later Moore and Bryant were
added to his little library of inspiration. Mr..
Markham moved with his mother to San Fran
cisco, where he entered college. After gradu-
alton he learned the blacksmith's trade, and
some of his early poems were composed to the
music of the anvil.
For mum Der OF years, now, he has been
prominently identified with educational mat
tiers in California, and he is al present the
principal of the Tompkins School at Oakland
There is nothing of the ''pale cast of thought
about Mr.. Markham. His sturdy figure and
strong, sensitive face suggest the man OF pur-
pose and vigorous men tality. He is now pre-
pairing a volume of his poems, which has the
attractive title ION Mountain Tops"

conditions, the Oriental inheritance OF enduT-
ance and lightheartedness of kindly youth
that makes even evil conditions enduraple
and causes hope to spring eternal in the
breast, for their cheering and appearing.
This quality OF the race is admirably shown
in the volume of tales of the Russian Jew
that has just been issued by the Jewish Pub
LEGATION Society. There are stories OF tact
and folklore, the legends and myths that
have come down through generations OF
Russo-Judean students and story-teIlers.
Many of them are full OF the same whimsical,
opulent extravagances that characterize the
ancient Mogul stories and tales OF the East.
Some are full of tragedy, and Others deal with
the witty inventions whereby the jewish
student manages to make life endurabie and
to wheedle subsistence out OF browning
world. Now and then the stories are sad, but
through them all runs the vein OF Loyalty to
faith and race OF charity toward others and
of belief in the ultimate glory OF his nation
that characterizes the Jew in every age and
cline. The Hebrew is essentially an optimist,
and by that same token worker; and these
stories of the Russian Jew, which the Rus
sian, Iliowizi has collected, give us far
different idea of the type than is to be gath

extra illustra ting the volume by inserting
or binding up with IL portraits, landscapes

friend Mr.. Guild extended the one volume to
four books, and in this ''Chat About Celebri-

READING PROOFS OF POETRY.

Some writer has produced poem called
Sounds From the Sanctum." 1t reads prettily
and gives rise to the thought that the author
never visited the sanctum when business was
in full swing. II he had called about mid
night, for instance, he would have seen two
men-one porting over a proof-slip, the other
holding the copy, and the sounds would have
been something like this:
Prooireader-As flowers without the sun
shine Accommodation you-comma-do
I-comma-breatne dark and dismal mair-
Copy-holder-Tnunder! not mair-air.
Proofreader-I breathe dark and dismal
air-comma-of howers-comma
Copy-holder-Shoot the comma
Proofreader-'Tis done. AS bowers without

seven, he never justifies his lines-No joy in

Mr.. Clark also states that the devel-
opment OF the water supply for the
mine and mill, as mentioned previously
in these columns. exceeds the most san
guine expectations of the management,
and that While the company now has
more water than it viii know what to
DO with. the supply is constantly in
creasing and, as the water can be
brought by gravity to within few
hundred feet OF the mill, the Importance
of the discovery can be appreciated by
those who are familiar with the situa-
ton at Lion hill.
AS 10 the mill, Mr.. Clark states that
ii is rapidly nearing completion, and
viii soon be ready for the installation
of the machinery, which is now on the
way.
Charlie Ford. who has the contract
for the construction OF the mill. is also
in the city, the object of his visit being
to exercise his elective franchise at the
polls yesterday. Mr. Ford corroborates
what Mr. Clark has said in relation to
the mine and mill, and he goes further,
and makes the statement that. in his
opinion, ore to the extent of 10000 tons
is exposed in the mine, which will carry
silver contents to the extent of so
OUNCES to the ton, besides well in gold.
At the mill, the ore bins and one side
of the reduction room remain unfinished
and when this is done and the root
put on, the structure Will be ready for

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery
For Curing Dyspepsia.

The Rev. F. I. Bell, a highly
esteemed minister residing in Weeds
port, Cayuga Co., n. Y, in a recent
letter writes as follows: There has
never been anything that I have taken
that has relieved the Dyspepsia from
which [ have suffered for ten years
except the new remedy called Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking them
I have had no distress at all after eat
ing and again after long years can
sleep well. Rev. F. I. Bell, Weedsport,
n. Y, formerly Idalia, Colo.
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets is a re-
markable remedy, not only because it
is a certain cure for all forms of in
digestion, but because it seems to act
as thoroughly in old chronic cases of
Dyspepsia as we'll as in mild attacks
of Indigestion or biliousness. A person
has dyspepsia simply because the
stomach is overWorked, all it wants is
a harmless, vegetable remedy to digest
the food and thus give it the much
needed rest.
This is the secret of the success of
this peculiar remedy. No matter how
weak or how much disordered the di-
gestion may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. New life
and energy is given not only TO the
stomach but to every organ and nerve
in the body. a trial of this
splendid medicine will convince the
most skeptical that Dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles can be cured. The
tablets are prepared by the Stuart
Chemical Co.. Of Marshall, Mich, but
so popular has the remedy become that
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can now
be obtained at any drug store at 50
cents per package. Send for book on
stomach diseases free.

Back from Bear Lake.

A. L. Morris, who is experimenting
the development Of several very prom
ising copper properties in Beaver Lake
district accompanied by w II. West
of the Constellation mine at Park City,
returned home yesterday from the
camp, where they have been making
an examination of the property of the
Beaver Lake Copper company, and also
Of the Copper Mountain.
Manager Norris was well pleased
with the progress made since his last
visit to the district, while Mr.. West
who was there for the first time, was
highly impressed with the two mines
above mentioned and also with the
heavy surface naturalization of that
portion of the district
In speaking of the Beaver Lake cop
per mine, Mr.. West stated that it was
in excellent shape. and he is of the
opinion that it will pay big with the
erection Of reduction works on the
ground, and he was also satisfied
that there is now enough ore blocked
out in the property to justify the cree
ton of a plant. The Copper Mountain
he designates as a mammoth PROPOSE
! ton, and states that in the bottom of
1 the shaft in this mine there is a five
foot body of ore disclosed which will
carry average values Of 20 per cent
copper TO the ton, DeSlQeS some SOlQ,
besides which there are four inches of
high grade ore on both walls.
The Galena and Wasatch, Mr.. West
describes as promising properties,
while he states that Colonel S. b. Mil
ner of this city has erected a. comfort
able cabin on the Crete, owned by him
self, c. c. --.ggins and Frank Hall of
lTercur, and that the showing on this
ground is excellent.
During his absence Mr.. West became
interested in a group of six claims,
which are an extension of the Crete
and Copper Mountain mineral zones on
the east, and he informs The Herald
that it is his intention to incorporate a
company at an early date for the de-
VelOpment of this ground
Before leaving for Beaver Lake. Mr..
West went to Santaquin canyon, where
he secured 200 pounds of samples from
! the copper and lead claims embraced in
| the company's holdings, being two out
| of the four groups of claims embraced
! in the corporation.

there is now no further question as to

that the deposits go to the deep.
For some time past the management
of this promising and somewhat noted
property has been running long tun-
mel for the purpose of settling the ques-
ton of the permanency of the ore bod

gentleman who has just arrived from
the district that d few days ago the
face Of this tunnel cut into body of
ore at a vertical depth OF coo feet, and
now the officers and stockholders of
the company have reason to feel highly
elated AID that they own the world

in width, is stratified with horn silver.
while in the vein there is q stringer. of
