Our English cousins seem to be quite
wide awake as to the merits of a GER
tain Vermonter named George Dewey.
w. Fl. Davenport Adams has just faV
ored us with a desirable treatise on
Dewey, and Other Great Naval Com
manders.' The book consists of indie
pendent chapters, each devoted to an
account of some naval officer of merit,
many of whom have high seats in the
temple of fame, and the others should
be there. 1t. is worthy of note that all
the commanders mentioned are either
English or American, the former great
~ preponderating and that the names
are not selected according to any evil
dent plan. Many American seamen re-
ceive deserved eulogies. but it is con-
spicuous that one Paul Jones is not
mentioned. which would seem to indi-
date that perhaps he is not so great
favorite on one side of the ocean as he
is on the other.
Most of the books Of South Africa are
written by Englishmen or under Eng

Several complete editions of the
works of Thomas Carlyle have been is
sued. but though he has now been dead
for more than 40 years, it seems that
every complete edition must lack COM
pleteness. The most recent in time Of
publication of his books is the one just
issued, Historical Sketches of Notable
Persons and Events in the Reigns of

of first studies for his life of Cromwell.
Carlyle was probably the most original
thinker of the century and his contribu-
ton both to literature and history was,

prefer those of his writings that, like
this one, come somewhat fresh from his

SNOW is DISAPPEARING
Encouraging Reports From Buff.
falo Hump
IMPORTANT SALE MADE
Valuable Property in the District Has
Changed Handsome Very Rich
Ore Taken Out of the
Crackerjack.

Late reports from the Buffalo Hump
say that the snow is disappearing at a
rapid rate, and that it is predicted that
by June Is every part of the mountains
will be accessible to the prCspectors
Most encouraging reports come from
the new district.
The Crackerjack group, in the Buffalo
Hump country, has been bonded to
Clark & Sweeny of this city for 500, 900
The negotiations for this deal were
completed the first Of last month and
the bond was signed May Il, but so well
has the secrecy been maintained that
the news of the sale has just got out.
This is one of the most important
sales in the history Of the Buffalo
Hump country, the Big Buffalo and
Morning Star deals being the only
transactions in which a larger amount
of money was involved, SAYS the Spo-
kane Chronicle.
The bond was given by Flint & Haw-
ley of Grangeville, the owners of the
property. The first payment, said to
have been of a considerable amount,
has already been made. The second
payment will be made July Il, and the
other payments will be made October
H. 1899, and July II, 1900.
Clark & Sweeny have lost no time in
proceeding with the development of the
property, having started work as soon
as the bond was signed, Two shifts of
men are now busily engaged in open
ing up the property.
The Crackerjack group consists of
the Crackerjack claim and its extern
sion, the Santa Rosa. 1t is situated
about 1000 feet northeast of the Big
Buffalo group.
Some of the richest ore ever found in
the Hump country has been taken out
of the Crackerjack. Ii has a wide
ledge, which is said to yield fair aver
age assays, and within this vein is a
pay streak of wonderfully rich ore. A
number of assays have been secured
from this pay streak that ran between
$4,000 and $4,000 and the general aver
age of the ore has been remarkably
high.
This sale, together with the fact that
the second payment of $4,000 on the
Big Buffalo was made yesterday,
proves that Clark & Sweeny are more
than satisfied by the results of their
work in the Hump country. 1t is be-
lieved that there is little doubt but
what the bonds on both of these prop
critics will be taken up and it is ru-
mored that they are also figuring upon
a number of other big deals.
