Betting on the Payment.

News reached the city last
evening by telephone from
Grangeville that a fine strike
has been made in the Monte
Cristo claim, in the Buffalo
Hump camp, about mile and
a half south of the Big Buffalo
mine, says the Review. The
claim is being operated under
a 100000 bond by Sam l. Sill.

incorporated. The news rs
that at depth of only IS feet
in the shaft an average assay of
the whole bottom of it goes
$74 in gold. The surface
values were said to be $50 per
ton, and the improvement is so
marked that the gentlemen in.
terested in the bond are much
pleased.
The claim is owned by James
Turner. He is in the city, Just
out from the Hump. While
somewhat reticent as to giving
news of the camp, he said:
"The Monte Cristo is easily
the leading claim in the camp
just now. The development
is proving it a remarkableprop-
erty, and everybody is talking
about it,"
Speculation is rife as to
whether or not Clark & Swee.

ment on the bond of the Big
Buffalo, which is due next
week. Some bets have been
made of late on the issue.
Some are confident that the
!. payment will be made. Others
advance reasons why the bond
will be thrown up. Clark &
Syeeny decline to announce
their plans. Meantime word
comes from that camp that the
vein has been crosscut in the
bottom of the shaft, and that
the values are fairly good, but
not anything like the great
bonanza values found on the
surface. sgi.7s

1t is no disparagement to say
that the claims do not indicate
a value so great, while at the

There is some complaint
among capitalists that Buffalo
: Hump claim owners have their
ideas too high. 1t is asserted
in some quarters that capital is
deferred from entering the dis
trict owing to the exorbitant
figures at which undeveloped
claims are held. On the other
hand, claim owners assert tina,

PREVENTING WATER WASTE.
suggestion That Careless Persons he
Required to Use q Meter.

Seattle, Jan. I. 1899.
To the Editor; Referring to the remarks
OF Mr.. foungs IN the Post-Intell!gencer IN
regard 10 water consumers leaving their
water hydrants open during the cold
nights and the water wasting away, SO as
u prevent the pipes from freezing, and
thereby very greatly endanger.ng the safety
or the city IN case of fire, I feel that all
good citizens fully agree with him. and the
practice. II continued, will be sure to bring
disaster upon the city sooner or later
! would beg leave to suggest remedy,
ard that IL to require every party tapping
the city water pipes TO put In a meter and
cutoff. This meter should be paid for by
tile party, but under exclusive control OF
the city. Owners and tenan.s would then
see TO II that water Through the cut-ofo
would be drawn from the house pipes In
stead Of wasted away as now is practiced
OF freezing cold nights.
The system OF paying g cents monthly
rental TO the city for use OF water is un-
Just and extortionate, and deters the peo-
PIE from putting In meters, as the rental
will pay for the meter in less than two
years, and a meter VIII, II safely placed,
last many years.
Being q taxpayer here and In Southern
California. j wish TO state that in those
Southern supposed arid cities where water
Is valuable. and piped thirty and forty
miles from the mountains. the minimum
monthly meter rate Is s1.75: here 1t Is S.
and Is cents rental FOR meter Down there
the maximum rate for household purposes
Is Is cents per l.V0 gallons: here II costs
abou, 50 cents for the same quantity.

On December II last the Post-Inteili-

year had been prosperous one for the
people OF Seattle, yet fortune IL variable
and there were many among us not so
well of as they might be. Suggestions
were called for as 10 the best method
OF a general and hearty movement to
give the poor among us pleasant and

and toys made under the auspices OF
the business management OF this paper.

Those who are familiar with the CHI
nese character and with the efforts
which have been made thus far 90 In
troduce American products into the &C.
Iestial empire wiz fully appreciate the
pertinence Of the suggestion, made by
Consul General Goodnow, that the Uni
ted States or its merchants establish in
Shanghai or elsewhere in China per-
manent exhibition Of American goods
and industries.
While the Chinese have by no means
the imitativeness Of the japanese. they
are endowed with most Unsuitable curl
osity. and are the best patrons In this
country. In proportion to their numbers,
Of all manner Of expositions and mu-
seums So far as western implements
and mechanical processes have been in
troduced among them they have shown
quick adaptability to their manipulation
and q most commemorative desire to
profit by their use.
There can hardly be any doubt that II
American goods were placed where both
the common and the unusual China
man OF China could visit and observe
them at his leisure. a permanent ex-
hibit OF these goods would become a
most useful educative factor and would
do more than many thousands OF dol
lars otherwise expended to create In
China a market for this country's out
put
In order that such an exhibit may be
successful. # is only necessary to have
constantly in mind the peculiar bar
barrie characteristics of the Asiatic peo-
pies. They are admirers Of form and
color. especially OF color. What is
gaudy TO Anglo-Saxons is seriously at
tractive to an Asian. and an Asian will
neither buy nor eat nor allow his chill
dren 10 buy or eat that which does not
meet his fancy In these artistic re-
spects. An instance in point Is the ex-
perience In shipping American butter;
the shipments were never a success I'M
til the producers began to pack the but
ter In neatly colored and handsome
boxes. II has also been said that canned
fruits and vegetables were never SAL
able in the Orient until the cans were
wrapped with red and bright yellow
labels.
The butter experience is also evidence
that the Oriental people can be induced
To eat food products TO which .hey have
not been accustomed. Butter was
scarcely known across the Pacific until
American enterprise began to place II
there. Foods are a matter of education
and taste goes by experiment Germany
refused to buy American cornnleal for
its soldiers until some OF the great au-
thorities were banqueted upon hoecake
by number Of distinguished Ameri-
cans, including Mark Twain and Buff
falo Bill: but cornmeal is now a recog
nized feature OF the German military
ration.
