Mr.. Mackay Departs.

John W. Mackay, who is reported
to be interested IN project to buy
the Blair mines at Silver Peak, re-
turned from the mines last Monday,
after weeks examination OF the
property. The great miner did not
seem to be at all enthusiastic ever
the outlook at the Peak. In answer
to direct inquiry as to what he
thought of the mines he said There
is big country and there seems to
to be lots OF quartz, But the quartz
is low grade and it will require the
outlay of large amount of money
before anything can be realized. The
conditions at Silver Peak are all un-
favorable for cheap mining and mill
ing. Wages are high, supplies are
high, transportation charges are
high. | visited the Peak On the in
vitation of friends who think of buy
ing the mines. cannot say whether
the sale will be made or not. :"
Mr., Mackay has come and gone
and nobody is much the wiser. and
whether the mines are to be sold or
not is still mystery Mr.. Mackay
goes to California, where he will re-
main two months. He will not return
to the Peak. L. E. Hanchett accom-
panies Mr.. Mackay to San Francisco,
but will return in few days.

DEATH DUE TO FALLING WIRES.
More Persons Killed by These Than
by Railroad Accidents.

More Persona Killed by These Than
by Railroad Accidents.
We have recently had an opportunity
to examine a batch of newspaper clip
pings giving accounts of accidents due
to the falling of electric wires. These
clippings cover the months from May
to September, inclusive, but it is not ID
be supposed that we have found in them
reports of all or nearly all the acct
dents of that character which have
taken place. We have found enough,
however, to show that the matter is
very serious one.
We find in the five months reports of
122 accidents due to falling trolley
wires. In II of these accidents IL per-
sons were killed, and in 2s of them 81
persons were injured and in 1s of them
~ horses were killed. During the same
five months we find reports of 40 &C.
cidents from falling electric light and
telephone wires, showing that 9 per-
sons were killed in accidents and 81
were injured in 22 accidents, and
horses were killed.
The nature of the accidents is very
familiar; that is, broken live wire
falls into the street and q passer-by
steps on it or picks it up and gets Il
shock which is often fatal. We thus
find. during this period, total of 81
fatalities resulting from falling live
wires of all kinds. At this rate of NOR
tality, if it were kept up, so persons
would be killed in the year. In 1898
there were SO passengers killed in
train accidents on all the steam
railroads of the United States, so
far as we have been able to as
certain. 1t appears, therefore, that
more persons are killed by live wire
accidents than are passengers in rail
road train accidents, and the difference
might be still greater if complete sta
tistics of the former were obtained.
There have been widespread and per-
sistent efforts made by the public in VA
rious ways and for many years to mini
mize train accidents by legislation and
by agitation in the press and by inves-
LEGATIONS and recommendation on the
part of railroad commissions, but the
serious mortality due to live wire acct
dents does not appear to have attracted
much attention from the public. There
are simple and obvious means, which
we suppose are not very expensive, for
preventing accidents Of this class; but
until the public realizes the serious
ness of the situation and the practical
bility of remedying II probably little
will be done. We suggest this subject
ss an interesting one for the daily
ncwspapers.--Railroad Gazette.

HoUsEWIFERY AND INDUSTRY.

The expenses of your house will be
large or small, as you are q bad or good
housekeeper.
Among the most homely, but most es-
sential accomplishments of young
woman is thnt of housewifery.
Laziness is very apt to come with
wealth, and there are undoubtedly u
great many more lazy girls now than
so years ago, but there are no more nat
urally lazy girls in the world than
usual
Girls who acquire a really good edu-
cation now accomplish much more gem
uinc hard work than those in "the good
old tines" who only learned to read and
write, and occupied the NEST Of their
time in the kitchen and dairy.
Nothing that can be called education
and accomplishment can be achieved
without great labor, and the principal
reason why good housewifery is so
much neglected rs an accomplishment
is that the time is SO much occupied in
study-J, G. Holland.

THE CREDIT MAN"
An Important Person In the Com
mercial World
HE Duties Are to Protect Large Con-
Germs from Imposition ON the
Part of unknown Cue
TONER'S

The functions of credit man are not
generally known to the public, but he is
IN many respects the most important
person employed by Il mercantile con-
Germ Briefly, he is supposed to be in
formed concerning the commercial
standing of every firm or individual
with whom his own house has any deal
ings. He is a kind of walking Brad.
Streets, and the firm for which he
works has the exclusive benefit OF his
Investigations. his knowledge and his
experience. 1t does not trust to him
alone, OF course. because in the case OF
large house there would be rather
more than he could attend to. The repu-
lar mercantile agencies are depended
upon Tor certain amount Of informa-
ton, usually that which concerns the
Oldest and richest corporations, about
whose solyency there is commonly no
question. The credit man may, however,
II his employers suspect q necessity for
1t, be called upon to probe still further
than the regular agencies go, in order to
make assurance doubly sure.
When would-be buyer from some re-
mote part of the country presents him
self to firm to which he is entirely I'M
known, he is introduced at once to the
credit man. The latter receives what.
ever credentials the stranger has to
offer, and if he Is satisfied that the
house will run no risk in selling to him
he states the fact, and his judgment is
accepted. Various considerations de-
termine the amount of security which
n new customer is required to show,
and not infrequently it is stipulated
that he shall have real estate backing
which is known to be responsible. The
credit man also figures out ut once the
largest amount of credit which can be
granted to the new buyer, this being de-
termined according to the figure ut
which he is rated.
subsequently,, as he runs up bills for
goods, they all pass under the credit
mans watchful eye, and if 1t is found
that the customer Is close upon his
credit limit the Inst purchase is often
held until it is proved to certainty that
its delivery will entail no loss to the
firm. This process of keeping track of
every buyers limit imposes never
ending task upon the credit man, and
it is one which requires delicate hand
ling, too. While great caution is nee
essary, there must be as few needless
suspicious as possible, for these are
often the means of driving away per.
fectly trustworthy customers, who feel
themselves insulted by the reflection
upon their financial methods.
In cases where there is good ground
for believing that customer will bear
watching the credit mans investiga-
tons are very thorough. He inquiries
as to the private affairs of the buyer in
question; finds out as nearly as posi-
BILE the amount of his income, and how
his money is invested. and keeps an
eye as we'll upon the way in which he
lives and spends. With every precau-
ton, however, there are many losses,
and it is the business of the annual con-
vention of credit men to discover bet
ter ways each year of protecting mer-
camille interests.-N. Y. Tribune.

treatment, pronounced it incurable. Now
science has proven catarrh to be consti-

constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

tons of ore on the dump, and the
ledge in the upraise is eight feet
wide. The teaching works are clean
