The greatness of our AnneXa.
ton Sale shines out by
comparison.

What others consider ''Stupendous' is but
ordinary to Goldenberg's. We have our own
standard of values-broke away from the old
standard long ago. When others ask you 20 con-
slider their "stupendous sacrifices use our values
for comparison. Buying aud selling as Golden
berg S do, cost prices and selling prices must nee
essarily be lower. Large quantity buying for
cash commands very low prices. SO that when
there reductions to be made, such as is being
made in all departments just now during this
Annexation Sale, there is wide chance to do it.
The greatest of the other sales which you
read of this morning. and their value offerings,
are insignificant when compared to the values

facts-exaggerated the values. No matter how
much exaggeration others print, the temporary
gain which may possibly come of it shall never
tempt us.
The greatest week of this Annexation Sale

TROUBLE IN HONOLULU.

An American Girl is Severely Beaten by
Japanese Marines.
Vancouver. b. c., July 6.-The last
mail advces from Honolulu say that Mel
lie West, an American, was severely
beaten by two Japanese marines from the
warship Nnniwa recently while trying to
assist her brother, who had been set IN
for n number of man of warsmen from
the Japanese navy. She was confined to
her bed next morning and unable to ap.
pear against her ASSISTANTS in court,
where they were charged with assault
and battery. Feeling here runs nigh
over the matter
A well-known business man knocked
down three Naniwa sailors on ..the street
the following morning in consequences,
while American bluejackets went hunt
ing fer the ringleaders of the Japanese
who made the assault. One who was
pointed ont to them rs being guilty was
so severely beaten by the men that his life
now depends on the result of a delicate
operation

HANNA ON THE STRIKE.
He Says Existing Conditions Pre-
vent a Raise in Wages.

New York. July G.-The Washington
correspondent of the Herald says:
Much interest is manifested by Sena-
tors and Representatives here in the
strike of the coal miners, and it is proba.
bic that IL will result in expediting legis
lation tending to facilitate the arbitration
of labor troubles. Senator Hanna, of
Ohio, in speaking OF the strike, said to-
night:
lowing to the existing condition of
BUSINESS no one can be expected to raise
wages for the present anywhere, and,
therefore, the strikers have chosen an
unfortunate time to make their demands,
whether the latter he reasonable or not
with better times, greater confidence and
an increased demand for the product OF
mines, it ought to he possible to give
laborers. of all kinds better return for
their labor.
THAT is what we mean by prosperity,
an improved condition Of business. when
money is freer, operations are carried on
upon safe, sound and profitable basis
and the hu'"blest laborer reaps the bene-
fit of the good times in proportion to the
value of his labor. The hoped for good
times are coming, ] believe. before long,
but they will not come suddenly, but
gradually. When business does I'M
prove employers of labor can listen to
the grievances of the employed I do
not see that they can be expected to do
it before.
1T is to be hored that the men will
agree to submit the matter to arbitration
end let their troubles for the pi esent be
settled for the present in reasonable
manner. Acts of violence prompted by
thoughtless passion can never accom-
plish any good
"Of the effect of the strike on Ohio pol
itics am not prepared to say anything.
These disturbances always affect the
current issue one way or the other, and
misunderstanding frequently arise.n

The Rip VAN Dam.

Mention was made in these columnsIa
few days since of rich find of Ole IN
the Rip Van Dam, property which w.
H. Patton is working on lease. The set
tlement certificate was received by that
gentleman today from the Kllton Re-
duction works of this city, which showed
a return of s333 So on AZ pounds of
the stuff, and places the value per
ton over $4,000. The ore runs S35
ounces in gold and SAB in silver, while
low grade ore taken out more than pays
the royalty. Mr.. Patton is very jubilant
over the finu, for while the ore is not un-
limited in extent, it is indicative of much
promise from the mine. The property
has been worked with varying success
by the owner, VIM. Brown, and COM
pany, of which Mr.. Osterweis of Denver
us the representative, but Mr.. Patton is SO
we'll acquainted with the course of the
vein that success has crowned his efforts
ever since he first began development.
The drift where the last find was made
is only 30 feet below the surface and has
been run in from the shaft about the
same distance The vein runs an ordin-
arlly fair grade of ore straight through,
with an occasional extensive pocket,
SURPRISING in richness.
