The Trade situation Satisfactory, Con-
siderlng Season.
X. g. Dun & Co.'s weekly review OF
trade says:
The sky is not cloudless; but there
has been no backward movement OF
business this week. The chief draw.
back OF the week has been the intense
heat in some sections Of the West,
which was more efficient in retarding
business than the lower temperature
East, which is stimulating it.
Crop advices continue as cheerful as
at any lime lately, and the labor stu.
alton shows no important changes in
working forces.
Prices are steady, but there is talk
OF decline, perhaps $40 per ton, in
steel rails shortly, to basis at which
it is believed the railroads will be
willing to place orders for the ensuing
years supplies. More good news comes
from the great iron centers, where
bridge and boatbuilders and makers OF
agricultural implements, stoves and
cast iron pipe are all eager to secure
finished or partially finished material.
Prices are sustained. and in a few
cases move upward. Iron, generally,
is already solid and better balanced
market than for two months past.
Another sharp decline has taken
place in the price OF tin, but copper is
firm.
Wheat declined still further, touch
ing the lowest price since early in
June.
Corn is steady, but drop last week
makes the present price only four cents
above that OF 1899.
Factories are still working only part
iime in the Eastern boot and shoe dis.
tricts, and it is evident that earlier es'
Inmates of accumulated stocks were
much to small.
There is more activity in the hide
market and prices are sustained by
strong foreign quotations, activity in
Chicago by California tanners, and ia
vorable purchases OF harness.

THE ART OF TALKING WELL.

Things to Say and Things to Leave I'M
said in General Conversation.
1t Is better to be frankly dull than
pedantic.
One must guard ones self from the
temptation of talking shop" and Of
riding ones hobby"
Whatever sets one apart as capital
II" should be avoided.
A joke or humorous story Is depen-
dent upon Its freshness for apprecia-
ton. Some emotions will not bear
warming over"
1t is no longer considered good form
to say word against any one. An ILL
natured criticism is a social blunder.
Gossip, too, is really going out of fash
ion.
True wit is gift, not an attainment.
Those who use 1t Alright never yield to
the temptation of saying anything that
can wound another in order to exhibit
their own cleverness. 1t Is natural and
spontaneous. "He who runs after wit
Is apt to catch nonsense"
Talk that has heartiness In 1t and the
liveliness and sparkle that come of
light-heartedness and innocent gayety,
is fairly good substitute for wit.
Offer to each one who speaks the
homage of your undivided attention.
Look people in the face when you talk
to them.
Talk of things, not persons. The best
substitute for wisdom is silence.
1t is provincialism to say "yes, sir"
mo, ma'am" to ones equal.
Have convictions Of your own. Be
yourself and not mere echo.
Never ask leading questions. We
should show curiosity about the con-
Germs of others only SO far as it may
crafty them to tell us.
Draw out your neighbor without cate
chizing him. Correct him, If necessary,
without contradicting him. Avoid man
nerisms.
Strive to be natural and at ease. The
nervousness that conceals itself under
affected vivacity should be controlled,
as should the loud laugh.-Ladies'

Protection, Weapons and Food Mucn
Improved of Late Years.
Although soldering would seem to be
a more perilous business than It ever
was before, In consequence OF the
greater force, rapidity and range OF
weapons, and the higher power OF ex-
plosives, the result may show that mod
ern battles are not more deadly than
were those of the Civil War, since an
attempt has been made to counteract
the destructive forces by stouter pro-
tections In forts and by system OF
tactics that replaces the old solid for
nations with something like the skir-
mish order of former times. 1t may be,
also, that the troops will fight at fur-
ther distance, allowing for the longer
carriage of bullets and shells.
But of one thing we are certain. III
the perils of war have been multiplied
the comforts of the camp have been
Increased until they are partial offset
Clothing is stouter, II the millers choose
to make 1t so; camp outfits include
cooking apparatus that can be carried
on the back of one man; the canning OF
meats, vegetables and fruits, the desic-
cation of other articles of food, and the
general cheapening Of many things that
were luxuries few years ago make 1t
possible to live In camp almost as In
hotel The substitution Of aluminium
for iron In utensils Is another adyant-
age, and In general there Is tendency
to both lightness of outfit and extension
of properties contained In it.
In addition to the articles provided by
the government IN Its clothing and ra-
tlon allowances, the man with gun
is now allowed to buy and have pipes,
tobacco, soap, writing materials, pens,
basins, blacking brushes, silk handker-
chiefs, matches, towels and an addition
to his menu in cheese, canned goods.

flynn Group OF Claims Near Wallace TO
BE Worked ugaln.
Wallace, Idaho, August 27.-The
Flynn group OF claims are to be worked
At once The Flynn group consists of
% claims, located in 1887 by the Flynn
brothers. The claims are all ON the big
lead, which is clearly defined from the
Helena. Frisco mine ON the Canyon
creek side to the Morning mine, and
have continuous lead OF over two
miles in length. Fourteen OF the
claims have been patented for several
years and the other eight are to be pat
snted this fall, and after the survey has
been made Montana parties Of unlimited
capital will take the entire property on
4 bond and at once commence system
itic development upon it.
In the minds Of mining men there
mas never existed much doubt as to the
Flynn group. 1t could hardly be pos
sible that break would occur in the
mineral lead on which the claims are
located, and at either end Of which
huCn UOnhuLh OAO OOlltb an bhO
Frisco and the Morning mines have
opened. The Flynn group has two
miles of this same lead, between these
two big producers, and surely covers
one OF the greatest and most extensive
ore bodies in the Northwest.
A lot OF work has been done on the
property in the year since the claims
have been located, but being deep
mine proposition, the owners have been
unable to develop it into producer.
Last year tunnel was run to tap the
lead below the monster iron Gaping OF
the summit. This iron knoll is an
elevation Of fully 5000 feet and covers
an era almost as large as Wallace.
Altogether over 5000 feet OF tunnel has
been run on the various claims, and
the naturalization has been good in all
OF 1t. None Of this tunnel worked was
sufficiently extensive, however, to ex-
plore the ore bodies. On the Iron Sll-
YER claim the lead was tapped with a
tunnel OF 404 feet. The face OF the
tunnel was quite freely mineralized for
q greater part Of the distance. From
the point where the tunnel cut the lead
drift OF 10 feet was run, all show
ing considerable ore. The ledge is
about 30 feet wide, and the walls are
in place and solid.
A tunnel from the Canyon creek side
in the vicinity Of the Frisco would cut
the lead on the Flynn group at depth
of nearly 5000 feet, and it has long
been contended by practical mining
men that this is the most advantageous
point from which to open up the prop

OREGON COAL FIELDS.
The Geological Survey Publishes u Lat,
Report ON Them.

The Geological Survey Publishes Late
Report ON Them.
Washington, August 27.--The coal
fields OF Oregon are thus summarized
by the latest report of the geological
survey:
The coal fields OF Oregon, so far as
yet known, all lie west of the Cascade
range and north OF Rogue river. Most
of them are among the mountains gen.
orally known in Oregon as the Coast
range, but others occur at the western
foot OF the Cascade range. Four fields
will be noticed--the upper Nehalem
coal field, in Columbia county; the
lower Nehalem coal fields. in Clatsop
county; the Yaquina coal fields, in
Lincoln county and the Coos Bay coal
fields, in Coos county. Traces of coal
have been fond in many other parts Of
the state. The greatest hindrance to
the development of the Oregon coal
fields is the lack OF transportation.
Work Progressing ON the Kimberley.
The tunnel on the Kimberley, in the
Kamloops. b. c., district, is in 327 feet.
Last week vein was struck on the top
OF the tunnel, at pitch of As degrees.
Dunches OF very good ore have been
encountered, of ohalcopyrites and black
oxides, The present vein matter is
very much decomposed, but so far con.
siderably exceeds in value anything
hitherto taken from the tunnel. This
finishes the contract for the 100 feet OF
driving. Work is still in progress,
and will be prosecuted steadily.
