THE STANDARD MINE.
Second Mine In the State, According
to Dividends Paid.
Anaconda Standard. J

Wallace, Ida. April THE Standard
Mining company paid dividend of $780,.
900 last Saturday. making a total to
date of $1745, 900. Except the Helena
Frisco the Consolidated Tiger and
Poorman, the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
and the Empire StateIdaho, the profits
of the Occur d'AIene mining companies
are closely guarded secrets, and this is
the first time that the total of the
Standards dividends have ever been
given to the public. The Standards
correspondent has secured the infoFma-
ton from a perfectly reliable source,
however, and there is no doubt that the
figures given are absolutely correct.
BY this showing, the Standard is the
second mine in the state in the amount
it has paid it's owners in dividends. the
De Lamar having paid over $2,000,000.
The Morning is third. Its output and
dividends are not given, and 1t is barely
possible that it has pielded more than
the Standard, but $1,000,000 is more
likely about its figures. AT the present
time it is yielding $4,000 net per month
exceeding the Standard-but it has
only been doing that well since last Oc-
tober, while the Standard is now run
ming less than full time, and it's divi-
dends have run as high as $105,00O, and
there have been few months since it
began their payment that it has failed
to reward the owners.
The Standard Mining company was
incorporated in 1891, A. B. Campbell,
John A. Finch c. NJ Kipp of Milwau-
kee and Tod Ford of Youngstown, o.,
being the principal stockholders. 1t be-
gan work on what was considered one
of the poorest claims on Canyon creek,
basing their hopes mainly on the fact
that the Mammoth had ore on the same
vein little farther west, and $4,000
was spent in development work before
anything of value was found During
those days its stock could be bought
for almost any price the purchaser
would pay, and considerable changed
hands, although those who were the
principal owners when first incorporat-
ed are still heavily interested. Tod
Ford stood as the representative of a
number of men at Youngstown, among
whom the stock was afterward divided
and Ex-Governor Grant became a heavy
stakeholder. about the time the first
values were found. Since the first div
ident was paid little or no stock has
been sold.
From the first it has been conducted
as a close corporation, this being the
highest the veil has been lifted in over
six years, and it is not likely to occur
again for even longer time.

NEW METHOD OF REMEMBERING
Prof. Wadan,ori Wants His System of
Memorizing Taught In America.
New York Herald.)

tNeW York Heraid.)
| From Toxic, by way of the University
or Pennsylvania comes Professor XII
kujiro Wadamori. with his Oriental
system for training the mind to remem-
Der what is once thought, heard, read
and written
In his rooms at the Waldorf the other
day he gave g. reporter an outline of
his plans aid system. First, he had
given series of lectures on mnemon-
ics-the art of nnemorizing-at the I'm
perial University of Japan and other
famous Institutions of learning. and
recently before the students of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. He now pro-
poses to lecture at Columbia and the
New England universities and colleges
and advocate the introduction of his
system of cultivating the memory into
the public schools and kindred institu-
tons of the United States.
The modern science of ''mnemonics, -
invented by the Germans, French and
Italians, and now sby the Japanese
professor, is founded on the laws of
association and Transformation.
This latter process of Professor Wad-
amori embraces three methods.
The professor says further that in
the English language there are not
above forty original sounds.

simple and original sounds. which are
the same throughout the world.
The simple original sounds are not
over fifty at the most in all languages
THE difference of the languages
comes only from the difference of the
arrangement and combinations of the
series of the simply original sounds.
For this reason, if any language is
analysed for its simple. original sounds,
the uniformity will be found. which
is the foundation of the special rules
for transforming unfamiliar languages
In many cases a. series of two or
three simple original sounds will have
a general similarity in all the languages
of the world. and sometimes a series of
more than three such sounds will have
the same similarity And therefore,
while 9. series of these sounds may cor
respond to one word in one language
it may be a syllable in another
Accordingly, a series of some simple
original sounds of a language which
may not be familiar to us, will be made
to coincide with it, applying transform
alton by the analogous sound.
There can be no better way to meas
ure the strength of the memory than to
make comparison between the per-
manence of the scientifically cultivated
memory and that of the natural"

striking feature to represent them
such as shape. color, size. length
breadth. Also unknown events are
transferred into words, sciences stud
led, foreign languages mastered and
whole tables of mixed. Irregular figures
fixed indelibly in the BRAIN
At the professors request I wrote
100 random figures in lines each Of ten
figures on sheet of paper. He did not
know what they were until I slowly
read them aloud. but I retained the
paper. After L had finished. the pro-
fessor not only repeated them correct
ly from the beginning. but half an
hour later, still not having seen the
figures, he would instantly name any
figure, in any part of the sheet, as.
What are the two figures on the
sixth line, four spaces from the begin
ning?' In every case his answer was
correct He performs the feat some
what in this way: Two figures at a
time are read to him. He transforms
them into imaginary words, and at the
close of the reading he has made those
symbol words into a sentence easy to
remember. Each word represents a
figure.
Fifty lines of quotations and reports
were read by him only once, but very
slowly and carefully. Then took the
paper, ana ne not only repeater the
fifty lines from memory. but he re-
peated the first words in the lines
straight down the column accurately
and rapidly. In 1888 Professor Wada-
mort. though the son of a farmer in
Japan. had become prominent as
scholar and debater, received a. seven
years sentence to prison for a. politi-
cal offense. While there he perfected
his system of memorizing, which, on,
his release. was recognized and ac-
cepted by the imperial university and
the authorities as the work of genius.
The system and its principles fill a
large volume. on which he says he has
