THE SLATE CREEK MINES
Eureka Group Sold to c. D. Lane Of
California.

Seattle, June 14.-News comes from
Anaco1tes that work will be resumed
on large scale on the Eureka group OF
mines in the Slate Creek mining camp,
which now belong to G. D. Lane, a
millionaire mining operator of Califor-
MIA. The final transfer to Mr.. Lane
was effected in Anscortes few days
ago. This is the property that some
years ago was under bond to Colonel
Hart for Montana parties. After spend.
ing upward of $4,000 they allowed
ther bond to lapse, but the owners,
having faith in Their property, continued
working it until about two years ago,
when a bond was made to Mr.. Lane.
Almost Ready for Operation.
The property is nearly ready for oper-
alton. The tramway between the mine
and the stamp mill must be finished.
The mill has 10 stamps of /, 100 pounds
each and is substantially constructed.
The property has a saw and shingle
mill and electric light plant. The
stamp mill was completed last fall and
found to work perfectly.
1t is the intention to put in roast
ing furnace as soon as supplies can be
shipped in this summer, to treat all
ores on the ground. instead of shipping
concentrates. People who know the
property, say that it will develop into
q big mine.

NO MORE THE GRAND MANNER.

There Are No Longer Gentlemen Of
Dignity and Breeding.
The grand manner" has gone from
the world and the world seems little
put out at its departure. Time was
when 1t was q token at once Of breed.
ing and education. Scholarship I'M
adorned with 1t was held up to naked
scorn as naked pedantry: manners with
no touch of the grand air could not
pass muster In polite circles; literature
saw in 1t the sum and substance of its
being. 1t did duty for a whole lexicon
Of qualities, but its outward aspec,
was unmistakable. depending upon a
very simple theory of society and hu-
man life. II men are to wear honors
and successes lightly. the background
Of ease will come into prominence. and
they will study to amuse. And so came
that social finesse which our great
grandmothers adored. those bowings
and smirkings which their grandchil.
dren scoffed at, and the whole pleasing
science of the beau monde.
The tear Of sensibility may be drop
ped over its tomb. but there can be no
question of its revival. The most its
admirers can do Is to write the history
Of its f1Oruit. 1t belonged to an age
when wealth. leisure. culture and all
the good things of life were confined
to class. and it dropped and with
cred at the advent Of democracy. Our
modern seriousness and our modern
business-like air killed 1t, and they
chose the cruelest Of weapons. 1t might
have survived frank opposition; 1t
could not endure being made to look
ridiculous.
But with the rubbish went much that
was admirable. At its best this grand
manner meant an exuberant vitality. a
genuine zest for life. It's opponents
might fail. but they failed CALAMITY
1t all worked out to kind Of intense
self-respect. which might be ludicrous
but was rarely ignoble.
Most great men have been many
ed. but with the gentlemen Of tn.
grand air 1t was a social duty, and all
traces of the process must be hidden
from sight.
Disraeli was almost the last Of the
grand manner" disciples. and the
abuse Of him which was current for so
long shows how people had come to re-
gard the affectation. For an affecta.
ton 1t was, though a charming and
sometimes noble one. Versatility can
never be abolished. but a pretense of
ease and insouciance and a parade of
divers accomplishments may easily be
discredited. The splendid impassive-
ness Of the great gentleman has sue
cumbed to modern worry and haste.
and for the most part we frankly con-
fess that dignity is a nuisance and an
anchronism. But the other side of the
thing-the taste for a liberal culture
shows signs of revival and We may see
a return to the grand manner, brought
up to date and purged of its silliness.-

A Rats Tail.

A rats tail Is a wonderful thing. The
great naturalist Cuvier says that there
are more muscles In this curious ap-
pendage than are to be found in that
part Of the human anatomy which IL
most admired for its ingenious struc-
ture-namely. the hand. To the rat, In
fact, its tail serves as a sort Of hand,
by means of which the animal Is ena-
bled to crawl along narrow lodges or
other difficult passages. using 1t to bal.
ance with or to gain hold. 1t is pre-
hensile. like the tails Of some mon.
keys. BY means Of 1t the little beast
can jump up heights otherwise mac.
cessible. employing 1t as a projectile
spring.
