Many matters of general Importance 10
the state of washington and to the en-
tire West were discussed yesterday by the
Chamber OF Commerce at Its regular
meeting A special committee, Of which
r. O. Graves was chairman, appointed to
consider the question OF placing an ex-
hibIt from washington at the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition at Buffalo. N. r.. in 1901,
filed its report indorslng the exposition
and declaring in favor of an appropria-
ton by the legislature to defray the ex-
penses of a state exhibit. In addition
other business was transacted, including
the appointment of two delegates 10 the
national irrigation congress az Chicago,
November q.
Alexander Allardyce and George Muir
phy. secretary and delegate respectively
from the Nome Chamber of Commerce,
were invited to address the chamber on
the legislative needs OF Alaska Both
were accorded hearty welcome.
The first step taken by the business
men of Seattle to secure a legislative ap-
preparation this winter TO defray the ex-
penses of a state exhibit at the Pam
American exposition was the adoption OF
the report Of the special committee APP
pointed week ago to consider the mat
ter of encouraging the Buffalo enterprise.
The committee included 4. o. Graves.

COPPER MINES.
Some That Were Worked Thousands
of Years Before the Christian Era.

The copper mines Of Sinai, on the
northwest Of Arabia, were worked
thousands of years before the Chris
tan era. 1t is stated in Complies Rem
dus" that those copper mines are the
most ancient of which history makes
mention. According to authentic docu-
ments they were worked from about
5000 years B. c. until about 1900 or
1,200 B. @. Their possession have been
the object of several wars, but they
had been abandoned for 5000 years on
account Of the poverty of the ores 1t
was from these mines that was OBJ
tanned scepter of Pepi l., King of
the Sixth Dynasty. This scepter, made
of pure copper, is preserved in the
British Museum. The adits still exist
as well as the ruins of the furn. res,
the crucibles, the huts of the miners
and some fragments Of their tools. In
some of the specimens obtained there
occur three ores-turquoise, copper
hydrosilicate and sandstones, impreg-
mated with copper. Among the debris
have been found slags and cinders,
but there is no evidence of the use Of
fuxes. Some of the fragments of tools
contain arsenic, which was used by
the Greek and Egyptian alchemists
for hardening copper

SARIATUKIAL.
Depew Called the Best.Dressed Man
in the Senate.

Who is the best-dressed man in the
Senate? Some say Hale. of Maine,
some Plat, of New York; others be-
lieve Wolcott. of Colorado, but, by an
informal jury which was recently in
vited to pass upon the question, Sem
ator Depew. of New York, was unani-
mously chosen. When Mr.. Depew was
told by a World correspondent that
this decision had been reached, he
said with a chuckle:
That's Sartorial untruth."
Il am glad to know that my hab-
it of dress has been approved by the
jury. But really, l don't know that l
can lay claim to this proud distinc
tion''
Senator Depew is one Of the best
dressed men in the Senate. There are
men who display more tiashy raiment
and who have their clothes cut in the
latest English fashion, but none who
dress in better taste or who exhibit
more style and simplicity than Sena-
tor Depew. His clothes are cut from
the same pattern that he has used for
many years.
He always wears a black frock coat,
silk-faced; dark-striped trousers, and
usually a double breasted waistcoat of
the same material as the coat. In the
summer his style of dress does not
vary, except that he discards the
black frock for a short box coat of
lighter material.
The Depew cravats are the most
striking article of his wardrobe. His
street ties are of the four-in-hand
style, tied snugly about his high
collar. He has one or two black silk
cravats, but the greater part of his
neckwear is bright-hued. The Senator
has large stock, so that he wears a
different tie every day in the week.
The Depew shirts, with cuffs at
tached, are of plain white linen, not
especially expensive. His trousers are
always faultlessly creased and never
become baggy at the knees.
The Depew shoes are of black calf
skin, soft and easy. Sometimes he
wears CATERS. Usually he prefers the
button shoe. His assortment of hosiery
is not extraordinary, and his taste
runs to plain black. He shaves him
self every morning and goes to the
BARRIERS chair only when his hair and
whiskers need trimming. He has no
fancy waistcoats and shrinks from
striped shirts and plaid socks.-N. Y.

A Wild, Wild Gold Story.

Norman MacAuley returned from
the Klondike recently and was exhib-
iting to his friends large golden mug
get valued at $64.45, which was taken
from the rich property he owns on
Gay Gulch. Mr. MacAuley tells of the
riches of Claim 46. on the Sulphur,
which is known to be the richest min
ing claim in the world. The owner,
whose name Mr.. MacAuley could not
recall, is a German, and he will before
long be the richest of all the rich
Klondike mining kings. ~
The claim is now producing at the
rate of $4,000 each day, or, if the
mine was worked 800 days a year
$10,S00,000 in gold every year. The
claim is wonderfully rich one; it has
pay streak Is feet thick, which ex.
tends the full width of the creek, or
over 100 feet. The average per bucket
runs as high as So day and the ever
age output of the mine is 5000 buck
cts every day.
The output for this year is figured
by many, says Mr.. MacAuley, at $780,.

A Burglar Bombarded With Electric
Light Bulbs.
"Of all the outlandish weapons ever
employed in fight" said a business
man of the South Side, 81 think
brought the most fantastic on record
into play one night last week.
MY family are away on visit at
present, and l am keeping bachelor
hall out at the house. On the night
to which l refer l was aroused about 3
a. m. by noise somewhere in the re-
gion of the dining-room, and, think
ing had shut up the dog there, l
jumped up very foolishly and came
down stairs in my night clothes, with
out so much as pocket knife. When
l opened the dining-room door was
startled to see a big, rough-looking
man bending over the sideboard at
the far end of the room, and after
he had stood there en- tableau for
moment the fellow made a rush at
me. leaped back into the hall and
glared around for a weapon. On a
table nearby were a dozen mean
descent light bulbs, which l had
brought home to replace some that
had burned out, and purely by instinct
grabbed one of them and threw it
at the burglar. 1t hit the door casing
close to his head, and, to my amaze
ment, exploded with noise like a
young lyddite shell. l suppose 1t was
still greater surprise to the other
fellow, for he let out yell and broke
for the rear, followed by a rapid-fire
bombardment Of sixteen-candle-power
incandescents, which / continued to
throw at him as long as he remained
In range. They smashed against the
furniture with series of clashes
that alarmed the whole neighborhood,
and / have been gathering up frag-
ments Of broken glass ever since.
''The burglar must have thought
I was chasing him with hand gren.
AIDES. 1t was the first time l ever
knew that incandescents made such
row when they broke. An electrician
tells me that 1t is caused by the air
rushing into the vacuum."-N. o.

DRESSING AN ACTRESS.
Her Clothing Is So Made That 1t Can
Be Put On Instantly.

''While the actress is on the stage
her maid has carefully laid out the
gown that is to be put on, with all it's
accessories" writes Franklin Fyles in
the Ladies' Home Journal. 1.-THE dress.
es are made with a view to celebrity.
on. Knots of ribbon, draped sashes,
pieces of jewelry, even corsage bou-
quets, are attached beforehand, in
case there Is not a minute to spare. A
very modish and complete evening
gown with everything belonging to it
may be a single construction. The
maid inspects it carefully to see that
1t is in complete good order, and de-
posts it on a chair. Close by she
places the shoes, stockings and what
ever of millinery is to be worn. When
the actress comes in she is deftly re-
lieved Of the gown which the audience
has last seen her in. Next she sits be-
fore her mirror, and, If there Is need
of great haste, makes whatever rear
rangement Of hair or headdress is nee
essary while the maid takes off the
shoes and stockings. Under the latter
are different ones already on. By the
time that the second pair of shoes are
buttoned the couture is readjusted.
Then the actress stands up and the
new dress is adjusted in jiffy. If the
change has had to be made while an
act is in progress it may have occu-
pied no more than five or six min
utes. But that is exceptional. If done
between acts, with ten minutes al
lowed to it, the job has no appearance
of furious speed, so thoroughly is it
pre-arranged."
