On Ingram Mountain.

Midway Advance; Good progress is
being made on the tunnel which is being
driven on the Texas claim, in Graham's
camp on Ingram mountain. The Texas
is one of a group of FIVE or six claims
owned by Z. S. Graham of Spokane, who
has spent up to the present considerable
money upon his properties. The tunnel,
which was started on the Paymaster
ground, is now in about 200 feet, and
will be driven so feet further. From the
end of the tunnel an upraise will be made
TO tap the bottom of Collect shaft,
which was sunk on the vein and is in
ore. By this means vertical depth of
considerably over 100 feet will be gained.

A Valuable Metal.

Lead Black Hills, Tribune: This city
is excited over the discovery that Lead
has almost within its city limits, large
bodies of wolfram, one of the most valu-
able minerals known. The discovery Of
this valuable metal which at one of the
mines mentioned later has been thrown
over the dump, is due to Jno. II. Keuster,
Jr. and Prof. Reitz of this city. Samples
sent east had the effect of bringing out
here S. w. Deininger of PhOenixville. Pa,
superintendent of the Phoenixville Steel
& Iron company. During Mr.. Deininger's
visit he made a careful examination of the
deposits i'll the Harrison and Durango
nPdes and found by his analysis that it's
value was RACED at IS per cent. The
mineral greatly resembles black iron and
its product is what is known as tungstic
acid, much used in hardening or tougher
ing steel for making cannon, gun barrels,
arInor plate, etc. At present mines in
Arizona and Connecticut produce partly
enough for this country's supply, the
balance being imported from Germany
and Russia The value of the mineral
is from $500 to $1,000 per ton and while
here Mr.. DeningeT contracted for 20 tons
at 500, to be shipped at once. The
mineral is found in the Harrison and
hall feet thick, while the Reddy and
Golden Summit properties are known to
have deposits of the same.

thing for distant relative to receive

proceeded to write for some time, Sc

From all accounts the rentals of
salmon fishing privileges in Scotland
have been run up to preposterous
figures. We read of anglers paying
sums for the season which in rent
mean from 500 to $75 for each fish
killed, not counting the other expenses
of travel, maintenance and attend
ance. Tie rentals have increased in
many instances out of all proportion
to the fishing returns One Dee
water, the Invercauld, which formerly
brought $l375 per annum, was leased
last spring at S225r, and the fish taken
cost $75 each. In illustration of the
uncertainty of the sport, another sec
ton of the Dee may be cited, fey
which in one season the lessee paid
$1,000 and. took from it three hundred
odd fish. The following year he had
to pay $500 and his bag fell to sixty
odd fish. The next year, as might
have been expected, he let it alone. -

A Chicago minister who is very pop

met nan for whom he had performed
the marriage ceremony several years
before
"Do you remember marrying me?'
the smiling man asked him.
"Certainly l do" responded the
minister.
"Well, now, doctor, I know it's a
delicate question, but did you ever
receive any remuneration for that SER
vice."
The reverend gentleman hesitated,
cleared his throat and then blurted
out:
"Not red cent"
Then his questioner smote his palm
with the other fist, and exclaimed:
II feared as much. Do you know,
we have had good reason to suspect
that best man ever since?'-Chicago

Out IT Went.

In the good old days in Kentucky
there was court composed OF three
magistrates to try certain cases APP
pealed from single justice of the
peace The three magistrates were
backwoodsmen. A case was being
tried one day that was very important
and several hours OF listening to
the reading of dispositions and the
arguments of the counsel, pro and
con, and pro and con again, had so
nearly entangled the court in laby-
rinth of perp!exing questions of law
and fact that they doubted their abiI.
ity to blaze their way out. SO they
whispered to the leading lawyer at
the bar, who was sitting by as spec
tator, and asked him what he thought
ought to be done with the case.
81 think it ought to be thrown ont
of court" was the prompt and en-
phatic reply.
"Mr. Clerk" said the chief magis-
trate, "pass up them papers.
The papers, which made quite n
large bundle, were handed the chief
magistrate.
"Now, Mr. Sheriff." said he DELHI
erately, "open that window
The sheriff opened the window and
the case was thrown out of court

Negetarianism pure and simple
does rot Lain many adherents, MS the
association devoted to its advocacy has
only 1000 meml ers in London and
GOO in the provinces. About an equal
numI er of persons are understood to
accept the views OF the organization
and to carry them out more or less,
according to their appetite. ] he cult
has now so far advanced that II vege-
tartan calendar H. $ | cen formed, in
which herbs, f'uts and plants take
;he place of saints. 1t contains 500
menus-one for every day, with an
extra dish thrown III to cover leap
year. Recently, at some twenty five
different churches in the metropolis
and neighborhood, vegetarian sermons
were preached Mt the request of the
society, and the general burden was
the duty of kindness to all animals.
Many people, especially ladies', while
extremely kind to pets, were thought
less in regard to what they wore and
ate. Aigrettes are still largely used
in hats and bonnets, and other feath-
ers also find prominent place in fe-
male adornment, and the preachers
particularly condemned the practice
OF destroying bird life for this pur-
pose. 1t was also urged that while it
was necessary to prevent cruelty to
animals it was still more desirable
10 inculcate kindness toward them.
Vegetarians have gone long way in
this matter, and, though they wear
clothing made from sleeps wool, they
do not use ordinary loots. The soles
are made of asbestos and the uppers
of pre.a'ed material not unlike

pay roll for the week ending sept. 10, exclud-

of the employees, large and small, to be Sl5.54
per week. This was not an extraordinary
week. 1t was the Gust Omary pay roll.
The amount earned per week, however,
does not always tie the story of prosperity.
The number of weeks employed each year is
the determining factor in the wage earners'
prosperity. The Douglas factory has been
closed hut one week this year. and that for
the usual summer stock TAX ing, and 1t will be
CLOSED but three days the latter part of De-
