AS they walked along the principal

Jamison's eyes began to roll. So it went

There comes to our desk a very beau
| tiful-and we use the word advlsedly-
quarto, the first number of work from
the pen of Edwin A. Sherman, thirty
| third degree. Venerable Grand Secre-
tary of the Masonic Veteran Associa-
ton of the Pacific Coast. 1t is from the
/ press of George Spaulding & Co., san
Francisco, and is entitled Fifty Years
of Masonry in California" 1t is to be
issued in twenty parts. When bound in
one volume it will make very fine
book, for geographically it is a model
of beauty, and the illustrations are line
steel engravings and first order, and
half tones 1t is entirely unnecessary
to set forth the full scope of the work
since its title quite sufficiently discloses
it. Yet we may say at this time that
it is of profound interest for several
general reasons, namely, the personal
ity treated in it relates to some of the
( foremost State builders of the coast,
men who not only cleared the way for
civilization upon this coast, but laid
the foundations and erected the super
structure of society as we have 1t to-
day. Secondly. the work will embrace
of necessity in large part the history of
! the coast, with a mass of facts and in
cidents which would not otherwise have
historical record. Thirdly, because Ma
sonry is the first and greatest of all
confraternities and its relation to prog
ress, enlightment, human charity and
deeds of benevolence. is so close as to
| make it a part of the web of the gar
ments of statehood upon this coast.
There is another reason that is
specific, namely, to members of the Or
der the work will constitute a valuable
| work of reference, concerning the up
| building and spread of the order, and
the part it has played among men.
/ From the first number, which we have
| examined with care, we take it that Mr..
| Sherman will not present fragmen-
! tary and strung together work, but
an orderly, consecutive and material
| history We should say that every
Mason will want a set of this work
and that no Masonic library will be
| complete without it. The engravings
| in No. l are a splendid symbolic title

J. D. Stevenson, full page half tone

portraits of J. P. Jones Dawson, p NJ

] Masonry, one on the objects of Free
Masonry, and a biographical chapter.

A Failure.

A certain Professor in one of the lead

negro dialect in a story he was pre-

him that it would be q good idea to
study the language in its purity unde-

himself to the vicinity of the Union

How History gets Mixed.

In one of the debates toward the end
of the last session of Congress a SEN
ator, wishing to make point against
the proposed pageant at the Inaugural
ton of President Mckinley, referred
with sigh of regret to the time when
Jefferson rode on horseback unattend
ed to the capitol and hitched his horse
to fence.
Although there is not word of truth
in the story, it has made its way into
what may be called our folklore, and
even into some books that pretend to
be history Experience shows that
when such an error ever gets a firm
foot hold it can never be dislodged.
The story was first told by an Eng
lishman who wrote a scurrilous work
on America, but who never visited the
country until year after Jefferson be-
came President The truth is to be
found in the newspapers of the day
and in a full account given of the cere-
mony to the British government by
Mr.. Thornton, the representative of
that government at Washington.
jefferson had his home at boarding
house not more than stones throw
from the Capitol. He walked from
that house to the scene of the inaugu-
ration, escorted by a body of MALTA
and procession of citizens on foot.
In our day such progress would be
deemed extremely plain and demo-
cratic; but at the beginning Of this cen.
fury, and in view of the nearness of
Jefferson's home to the Capitol, it did
not convey to the minds of those who
witnessed it marked contrast to the
display on previous similar occasions.
The truth about the occurrence may
be found by those who care to look the
matter up, in Henry Adams's or Nc
Masters history, and in "Lossing's Cy-
of American History" The
error is a curious rather than an i'm |
portant one. for Mr. Jefferson, no more |
and no less than Mr.. Mckinley, is |
judged by what he did, and not by the |
of his journey, on one |
day of his life, to the Capitol.-Youth's

1t is now a certainty that more activ
ity will be shown in mine development,
all over this state, snd i'll fact all over
the entire West than has been known
for many years. All the papers pub
lished in mining camps speak most en-
couragingly of the outlook and mine
investors, miners, and prospectors all
look for an improvement in the situa-
ton. In this state more new discover
les were reported before the winter
SHOWS covered the ground than ever be-
fore. There will certainly be great
revival in the industry this year. The
Custer county camps, Lemhi, Idaho,
Washington and Owyhee counties will
find more investors in them this year
than for many years. Just at present
there is more talk about the Seven
Devils, Warren and Florence than of
other camps.
With the gloomy outlook for manu-
facturers and general business, on ac-
count of the condition of finances, gold
mining is about the only business now
offering any attraction to men with
money to invest. 1t is the only bust
ness which an iniquitous financial sys-
tenn has really helped and the shrewd-
est business men realize this fact. All
the world is now looking toward gold
mining. Every prospector ought to be
bestirring himself. Idaho has thous-
ands of square miles of unprospected
territory and quite as much more half
prospected. Let everybody assume a
hopeful mood, get a move on them this
spring and not only look for better
times but help to make them.

Mr.. L. Bitil, who left here early in

of the Pelatan-C lerici cyanide electric
plant for the DeLamar Mining Co.,
(limited) He announces that all the
machinery for the new plant has been
shipped from Denver and will arrive
here within few days. As the founda-
ton for the plant is all completed and
the dynamo and power set up, with
two tanks completed, it will only re-
quire a short time to set up the eight
tanks when they arrive and be ready
for the reduction of ores by this new
process. 1t will be difficult to estimate
the Importance Of the successful oper-
alton of this plant to the mines of
Owyhee. Our talcy or Shiny ores can
not be successfully worked by the old
cyanide process, and there are millions
of tons of ore in our mines too low in
grade to be profitably treated by ANAL
gamation. If the cyanide electric pro
cess can work them as cheaply as it is
claimed and partially proven they can
be, it means a new life to many of our
mines.
