A small group of pictures by Bancel La
Fargo is also on exhibition at Fischer's.
His work in water color is not great, but
it has a seriousness and an originality that
cannot fail to excite interest In almost
all of the pictures there is an evident ten
dency to look at nature in a decorate tive
way. and there are few in which there is
a manifest effort to paint with any literal
realism. With the exception of a moon
light motive full Of poetic mystery all of his
best studies are marines. and with these he
is decidedly more fortunate in treating
wide. unbounded expenses of water than in
views of the ocean breaking on the shore.

How much the Art Institute is doing for
the city of Chicago is well shown in the
attractive program of art events which it
is furnishing this season. including both
exhibitions and art lectures by well-knOwn
men. There is now in progress an exhibit
ton Of the works of the eminent French
artist Boutet de Monvel, which. if correct
ly reported. is the first exhibition of his
work ever held in this country This dis
play viii be followed by an exhibition of
Tissot's Biblical subjects, which attracted
so much attention when shown recently in
New York, and several important small
displays, such the exhibitions of Alex
ander Harrison and Leonard Ochtman. are
scheduled for dates in the near future. The
TisSOt and MOnvel collections are to be
shown in a number of American cities be-
fore being returned TO France. Why not

A R 7 AN D ARTIST

The collection of ninety canVaSes which
Mr.. Richard n. Brooke has hung on the
walls of the S. w. A. gallery at 1920 Con-
nectlcut avenue. and which will be on view
all next week, is the first important dis
play composed of the works of a single ART
list that has been held here this season. An
additional interest attaches to this exhibit
from the fact that the artist having de-
cided to remove his studio to Warrenton.
has placed on view practically all of the
pictures and sketches done in recent wears
that still remain IN his possession, as a
preliminary to dsposing of them at public
sale, With less conscientious artist the
display of such a large collection might
nave resulted in the exhibition of many in
uliefent paintings. If not some positively
bad productions. but Mr.. Brooke is a Sc
we're critic of his own work, and after
wedding out the canvases which he consid-
ered failures has presented for public in
spectlon collection which must be com
mended for its uniform excellence Some
OF the paintings less finished than
others, some, indeed, are mere hasty
sketches made to preserve some interesting
ehett OF color or atmosphere, but among
them all one can not point TO one canvas
that is not serious in aim or shows a lack
of sincerity.
Mr. Edward l.. Morse has recently fitted
up and moved into an atelier at 1929 +
street, which may well be the envy of his
brother artists, as there is no better ap-
pointed studio in the city. 1t consists of
two spacious rooms, one receiving a de-
slrable north light from a row of large
windows, which Mr.. Morse has curtained in
such a way that he can control the illu-
mlnatlon of the room at will the other
being lighted from above by a skyight a
feature which most artists covet, but which
Is not found in more than a half dozen
studios in the city. Mr.. Morse has had his
work rooms decorated to suit himself and
has chosen a combination of terra Gotta
and greenish gray, the latter color making
"a very suitable background for the display
OF pictures. Both rooms are furnished in
a tasteful style, and in the smaller of the
two he has hung quite a group of clever
water colors which are for the most part
sketches near DuXbury, Mass. In the other
room number of oil portraits make an ex-
tremeiy creditable display, though with the
exception of the well-handled head of a
little Indian girl, which the artist painted
in Canada this summer, there is nothing
of very recent date, as illness prevented
him from working for several months Mr.
Morse expects to give a studio reception
in the near future to acquaint his friends
with his new quarters.
Old English masters continue to be the
attraction at Fischer's, and a number of
new works have been added this week
the portrait by Romney being perhaps the
most notable of the new arrivals. A boy
wearing a green coat with a double row
of huge buttons was the subject that in
spired the painters hand in the production
of this work, and the face, framed in a

CLEARWATER CLAIMS.
Large Led6eS and Astonishing Assays
: Are the Rule.

Messrs. Mitchell, Griffith and
other parties have formed a COM
pany and obtained controlling in
terests in two claims on the
Clearwater, situated 1000 feet
northeast of the Dewey, near Mt.
Idaho. Assays have just been
made Of ore samples from these
properties with gratifying results.
The group Of claims are known
as the Gold Stone, Gold Blend and
Grass Root. The last mentioned
shows bold and well defined
ledge. There has not been much
work done on the properties, so
that the full extent of the vein
cannot be determined. The dis
covery shaft SO far as it has been
opened shows from eight to ten feet
of vein matter, having one well
defined schist wall on the west.
The vein has not been opened clear
across to the east wall yet, but the
adjacent formation shows syenite,
indicating contact vein.
These claims were originally To-
Gated S. X. Reed and John McGree,
both from British Columbia. After
the purchase Of these properties by
Mitchell, Griffith 4 Co., a large
number of assays were made from
samples taken from three different
places in the open cut. An aver
age valuation of Sl4 was obtained,
this including gold, copper aud
silver. The highest assay was OBJ
tanned from sample of iron oxide
ore, viz, 1925 in gold. A streak
of this ore from six to eight inches
il width runs the full length of the
vein up and down the ledge.
These Clearwater properties are
reached by way of Mt. Idaho,
crossing the Clearwater river at the
ferry and travelling down the bank
about a mile.

Exploring Expedition.

Col. w. s. Brackets plans for
the exploring expedition under his
command, so far as formulated, are
to enter the country east of Buffalo
Hump as soon as the season per-
mits and move eastward over the
Nez Perez trail towards the Bitter
Root range, sending parties from,
the divide down the streams flow
ing south into the Salmon river and
Others northward towards the
Clearwater, until large portion Vi
country towards the Nez Perez
pass is covered, and its principal
geological characteristics deterin-
ined. The expedition is now out
fitting at Grangeville and will be
composed of 10 men who have had
much experience of life in the
Rocky mountain wilderness. Col.
Bracket will shortly return east,
and then come out to this part Of
Idaho to spend the whole season
here.
Col. Bracket was, during the
late war with Spain, lieutenant
colonel Of one of the finest volun-
teer regiments raised in the state of
Illinois, but like many other fine
bodies of troops, his regiment did
not get out OF the United States,
and was mustered out at the end Of
the war.

much time will be saved to travel
ers, as it is the intention to start
the boat up the Clearwater as soon
as the transfer at North Lapwai
can be made. The new steam r
only draws 16 inches of water and
it is claimed that it can navigate the
greater part of the year.
sLewiston is what one would
call wide open town. Consider
able building is going on and the
travel that is constantly passing
through there gives it a lively ap-
pearance. The saloons are all
equipped with cracked pianos and
Arkansas fiddles and the din at
night as one passes along the street
is something horrible. All kinds
of tin horn gambling games are in
operation and certain portions of
the city are filled with most un-
desirable class of citizens. The
people of Lewiston, however, have
great faith in the future of their
city and some extensive improve
ments are under way.
"The great bridge across the
Snake river to Vineland is one of
the finest structures in the north
west. 1t will probably be open to
traffic by June l.
''Spring is farther advanced at
Lewiston than at any other point I
visited. The fruit trees are in
bloom, the magnificent Lombardy
poplars are all leaved out and the
weather is warm and fine. Alto
gether, l. was greatly pleased with
the appearance of the country in
Idaho. 1t looks prosperous and is
sure to enjoy large immigration
during the next year or twO.'
