THE SAFE ROUTE TO WHEEL. CON

The reputation of a bicycle. like the
reputation of a human being. depends
wholly on what people say of it-not
what they know of it. Meritorious
wheels have undoubtedly suffered from
careless and ignorant criticism. 1t is
one OF the strongest evidences of the
standing of the Built Like a Watch
Sterling Bicycle" that no one has ever
anything to say of it save good. One
can never fail of bicycle satisfaction
in following the unanimous approval
of all wheeldom.

and the owner of the apex can pursue

no difficulty in perceiving its far-reach-
ing significance. The full text of the

a new point or the affirming of an old

1t is stated that the smelter at the
Electric Reduction works of Reno,
New, is not giving satisfactory results.
This will be deeply regretted by all
who feel an interest in the develop
ment of the state. 1t is to be hoped,
though, that the defects may be over
come and the plant yet be made a COM
plete success. Smelling is carried on
profitably and successfully in so many
places that there seems to be no good
reason why there should be a failure
at Reno. If the works can sescure
enough material to operate upon, it is
safe to say that whatever there may be
in or about the establishment that is
wrong will be discovered and the prop
er remedy applied. The century is too
far advanced for much talk about
shelters being failures.

The decision of our state supreme
ton against the Lexington will prove
an interesting and important factor in
future mining litigation.
The verdict in the trial court was in
plaintiffs favor, but the judge before
whom it was tried granted a new trial
partly upon the ground of erroneous
instructions to the jury, and partly
upon the ground that the evidence was
insufficient to justify the verdict. The
Standard will at all times studiously
avoid any expressions of opinion upon
the merits of mining cases on trial, or
anything which smacks of Partially.
It's only purpose is to give the news,
with fair and appropriate comment.
In short, when litigation is on II will
state the issues and what the parties
themselves claim, but it will never in
tentionally invade the province of the
court and try the case. In the Lex
ington case, so-called, the legal error
in the district court was held to be a
failure to distinguish between the con-
tinuity of ledge and its identity. The
principle, seemingly. that the owner of
the apex of a ledge could only FOLLOW
it in its dip so far as lit was "continu

DULL DAYS IN TRADING
Matters of Interest in Regard to Divi.
dends That Recently Have Been
Declared for Michigan
Stocks

Butte, July 31.-The past week in the
local mining stock market has been ex-
ceptionaly dull. The $40 dividend realized
on Boston & Montana last week sent that
stock down from 1870 to 1858. 1t closed
las. evening at s354 In the other stocks
there has been but a slight variation
since the last weekly report. There is a
prevailing sentiment in favor of sum-
mer rest on the board and but little ac-
tivity is expected until the last of the
month or the first of September.
The Calumet & Hecla report for 1889,
published last Tuesday. is unusually in
teresting. 1t was generally expected that
in view of the higher prices received for
copper that the companys refined copper
output would be larger than that for the
preceding year. Instead, however. the
product of refined copper was $500 900
pounds, against 9O.SSS,OO0 pounds for the
year ended April 30, 1898 and 92,4740O0
pounds for the 1897 year. The mineral out
pat of the mine, however, was materially
larger last year than that of the preceding
u months

Wyoming is not generally considered
to be especially rich in minerals, al
though the impression may rest rather
upon the basis of wholly Inadequate
prospecting and development How
ever that may be, Wyoming is now
getting excited over mining matters
along with her sisters in the western
mineral belt. Reports from Laramie
indicate great activity in various dis
tricts. The interest appears to center
chiefly in coppers. 1t is claimed that
there are fine copper indications all
along the Medicine Bow range and that
good prospects have been opened up in
number of districts. To the unscien-
tific mind, there is no apparent reason
why there should be less of mineral
wealth in that state than elsewhere and
it is to be hoped that mere thorough
work will bring Wyoming well to the
front
