No little excitement has been caused
in mining circles here by the announce
mcnt that the DAILY Haggin Anaconda
party had secured control OF the Butte 4
Boston mine. For some time there has
been, a large buying Of the stock in the
east, but no one seemed to be able tn
fathom whom the buying was for. 1t
develops that wealthy New York bust
ness man Of mining connection had given
contract to New York banking house
for the purchase Of all the capital il it
could be secured, and it il learned that
this buying has been for an estate repre-
scented by this capitalist and the DAILY
Haggin party. tits said the deal involves
$G,OOO,OO0 or $4,000 600, and the acquisi-
ton Of the Butte mine by the Anaconda

New Tunnel ON the FormOsa.
The Foimosa has commenced new

Idaho. The tunnel through which ore has
40 far been taken--thc middle tunel--is
high above the mill, the ore being sen,
down through u chute, a long trestlr
connecting the upper end Of the chute
with the mouth Of the tunnel. The new
tunnel will be 95 feet lower and will run
about 800 feet to cut the lead. The pres.
cnt working tunnel ran 100 feet to the
lead. from where they drifted 400 feet, all
the way on ore, and then broke it down
from above until the tunnel was full thu
whole length before the mill was built
Since then shaft was sunk 35 feet, al
through ore, before starting the mill tun

it is going in about 10 feet every 2
hours. They expect to hold this rat

UNIQUE Pianos

All manner of articles In place OF

English piano makers. Perhaps the
most successful Of these Is paper. Of
which many pianos Of exquisite tone

Duke Of Devonshire has one Of The
finest specimens Of the paper piano.
this being Of French make. and deco
rated most ornately with pictures by
French artists. The duke gave five
hundred guineas for this, mainly, no
doubt, on account Of the Ornamental
ton. suppose you know that pianos
for very hot and for very cold climates
all instruments for export, In fact
have to be specially made, and in this
direction all manner of experiments
have been tried. Among others, sort
OF cellulose. one factor in which IL nc
tually common molasses. from which
sugar is made. is employed. and com
position made from the chemical treat
ment of gutta percha and leather pulp
has been tried. Ivory pianos are by 70
means uncommon. and the dOwager
Countess Of Dudley has magnificent
carved specimen. Pianos Of ivory are.
l might say. made every year in nun
bers. but chiefly for Indian princes and
rich Spanish Americans. Many pianos
of solid silver have been made; indeed,

TRAVELS OF A DIAMOND.
Story OF a Paris jewelers. Experience Will
a Very Fine Stone.

Story of a Paris jewelers. Experience with
Very Fine Stone.
Some years ago a Paris jeweler told
story of one diamond which had passed
over his counter no less than IL times.
1t was a beautiful stone of nearly four
carats, of perfect color and luster, but
easily identified by means of a small
feather in the tip of the lowest part.
He bought it from an East India dealer
and had it set in a ring. 1t was sold to
countess in 1869, just before the out
break of the Franco-Prussian war. The
countess died in a few weeks, and the
ring was worn by her husband. He was
killed in the siege of Paris, and few
days after his death the ring was
brought in the ring and sold it to the
mon soldier. He was arrested, and the
ring was sent to the family of the dead
count. Before the siege ended they
brought in the ding and sold it to the
dealer in order to procure money to
buy food. Directly after the siege it
passed into the hands of an English
tourist who visited the city to get a
look at the ruin wrought by the COM
munistS, and a year later back came the
stone from the Indian buyer of the firm,
| who, on being written to and desired to
tell how he got it, stated that it had
been the property of an English tourist
hunter who was killed by tiger, and
his friends sold the ring to get means to
send the body home. The stone was re-
set, and soon found a purchaser in
prominent member of the demi-monde,
who not long afterward was murdered
| in her room. Among the articles taken
by the murderer was the ring, and the
| firm began to wonder how soon it would
turn up. They had not long to wait, for
all their people had by this time learned
about the stone, and were on the look
out for it. After six months it was found
| in the showcase of a jeweler in London,
i who had bought it from a firm in
Amsterdam. 1t was bought by the
| Paris agent, and sent back to be started
! afresh on its travels. 1t was purchased
again by a woman of the town, who, six
weeks later, was drawn out of the Seine
with the gem on her finger, and, by Il
strange coincidence, it was offered to
the firm that sold it by the police agents,
the court having jurisdiction having
ordered it to be sold. And so it went
from hand to hand, attended with mis-
fortune at every change and usually
bringing death to the possessor. La
borers in the GolcoDda mines used to
say that when a stone was baptized Id
blood when first taken from the earth
it caused the shedding of blood where
ever it went, and the story of one
such ill-omened gem goes far to confirm
belief in such Observation-Disclosures

GIVE 1T Il CHANCE.

Already it is being asserted that
the new tariff bill will not produce
revenue sufficient for the needs of
government, and already the asser-
ton is being hotly denied by the
Republican press. 1t is not only
possible, but probable, the revenue
will be insufficient, and for the best
of reasons. One, if we 60 TO
the direct cause, instead of laying
the blame on the effect is the inordi-
nate desire of lot of garrulous old
men in the United States senate to
indulge IN that propensity, The
result was unnecessary delay in pass
ing the bill, and the consequent i'm
portation of millions of dollars worth

purpose of putting the money that

the vaults of the government, into
the pockets of spectators. In wool

WHERE CHARITY BEGINS.

1t is amusing to see the spasmodic
throes of virtue which our. contem-
porary, the Oregonian, actually suf-
fers from when the San Francisco
newspapers are brought TO its atten-
tion. Those papers may be, proba-
bly, are, salacious, but the general
condemnation of San Francisco and
California on that account is mex
cusable. The Oregonian runs on a
high moral plane-sometim es-con-
demns sensational news items, and
publishes them; plucks greedfly at
the California mote, and is silent as
the grave about the beam. aye! glrd-
ers, joists and mudsills, in the Orego
nian optic.
1t is a fact we'll known that for
vice and immortality Portland will
hold its own with any city of its size
in the United States, Morally and
politically it is rotten, and the Ore
gOnian not only knows 1t, but at
times when it goes after Hume, Pen
noyer, or someone else it does not
like, says it. This does not make
San Francisco better, but it
should prevent it being held up as a
model of immortality by the news
