Rocky Bar Looking Up.

A gentleman who has just returned
from visit TO Rocky Bar says that
place is showing more OF lie old.time
activity, reminding one of the days the
production of which gave the camp
its $50 900 600 record. The gentleman
said four companies were operating
there and in that immediate vicinity
extensively, something like 100000
having been expended recently in inn.
10 stamp mill aud cyanide plant is
operated in connection with it. The
company has Is properties and in one
OF the principal ones 4-foot ledge
has been opened up showing ore that
is said to run $50 ton. Ii is so stu
ated that six tons Of orc day is being
taken out to the man.
A New York company, the prime
movers in which, Emmett and Mar
snail WILDER are on the ground, is work
ing 40 men at Rocky Bar. The compa-
ny has mill and cyanide plant which
was to be started up this week. Mr..
Taylor is in charge of the mill and
cyanide plant. The Wilbers never
before had any experience in mining
and Mr.. Taylors education in the
work OF which he has charge is very
largely of school character. They
may have trouble with their cyanide
process, which is n pneumatic patent
and largely an experiment, but if they
make IL go the success of the enter
prise is assured, as the ore is there.
The Idahe Mining & Milling com
pany is operating 10 miles above June
ton Bar The company purchased
tie Clark 10 stamp mill and moved it
from point near Junction Bar. The
mine at one time produced shi ping
ore, but the ledge widened out into
big body of low grade ore and the mill
was purchased and is now in operation.
The Sawtooth company. operating
near the old Ophir mine, is milling
ore from several claims. The work
is in charge of +. 7. Brockman. Fifty
two men are employed by this compa
nv. The Commonwealth mill, which
has been leased, is over divide from
the claims and the ore is conveyed to
it by pack animals. The distance is a
mile and half, but the company is
milling 10 tons OF ore daily. The prin-
cipal properties are the Crown Point
and the Gold Bug.-Statesman.

ELEVATORS IN THE CAPITOL.
Persons to Whom Is Due the Credit OF
Their Introduction,

81 came here" said the veteran ex-
member of Congress, when elevators
were unknown. Not long afterward
they made their appearance in several
of the large cities. They were consid-
cred an expensive luxury, and nobody
dreamed of placing them in the cap
itol. Singular as it may seem, the first
man to propose and advocate their in
PRODUCTION was a member from Texas.
He was the heaviest man in the House,
and represented the San Antonio dis
trict. His name was Gustave Schlei-
ger, and he was born in Germany. At
the time of his Introduction of a reSo-
luton providing for an elevator in the
south wing Watchdog Holman was
chairman of the committee on appro-
prlatiOnS. He fought the resolution,
tooth and nail. on the score of economy.
He regarded it as the acme of extrava-
gance. Schleiger, however, was per-
sistent He fought Holman to stand
still, and was finally beaten by the
strategy so characteristic of the Hoo
sier statesman. Even the city mem
bers voted against the resolution. The
big German, however, had attracted
the attention of the whole country.
This pleased his constituents, and he
was reelected. He came back to the
Forty-tfth Congress and continued the
agitation for an elevator. He died near
the close Of the third session, much re-
gretted.
I'm the Forty-siXth Congress Robert
Klotz of Mauch Chunk. Pennsylvania
Dutchman, championed Schleiger's
hobby. He was so persistent in advo-
eating 1t that one of his colleagues said
to him one day: You want to be hoist
ed to your seat, do you? Well, the peo-
pie will hoist you next fall You will
get all the hoisting you want them
The prediction failed. Mr.. Klotz was
returned to Congress, after he had sue
ceeded In securing an appropriation for
an elevator. 1t was made in the Forty
sixth Congress in the sundry civil bill.
Holman was no longer chairman of the
committee on appropriations. His sue
cessor was the Hon. John De Witt Clin-
ton Atkins of Tennessee. The fact re-
mains, however, that the introduction
of the elevators in the capitol was due
to the efforts of two statesmen Of Ger
man extraction. Washington CORE

The Man Who Works.

'The man that Is SO far advanced
that he likes the work he is doing"
said Mr.. Stoggleton, has reason to
feel hopeful of himself. suppose that
the very great majority of us go
through the work we have in hand the
easiest way we can and get through it,
skipping the hard places when posi-
BILE, and thinking We'll be glad when
it's finished; but the next job will be
just the same; there will be just about
so many hard places in it, and then
We'll be wishing just the same that we
could get through that job.
'"The fact appears to be that we are
always trying to shirk the present job.
We mean well, In feeble sort of way,
and the next thing we tackle we are
going to do right up to the handle; but
when we strike that, when that be-
comes the present work, don't we try
to shirk that, too? We do, indeed. And
that's what we do all through life;
daily putting off our best endeavors till
tomorrow. Kind of a miserable thing
to do, isn't it?
But occasionally you meet man
who puts In his best llcks every day,
and rejoices In the labor; he doesn't
care a continental what the next day
Is going to bring to him, he can handle
1t whatever 1t is; just now he's en-
gagged with to-day's labor; and he does
that up thoroughly and completely and
searches out the last nook and Granny;
he Isn't trying to see what he can pass
by, but what he can root out; and he
goes home satisfied with his work, and
he's the one man in a thousand that
leads all the rest and his pay CORE
spends with his labors. New York

come here in sober colors of paint and
with no bright parts. The men who
tend the machines do not have any
brass to keep clean or any surfaces to
rub and they get lazy. The German
workman needs to be kept busy with

Here, now, are some practical in
stances of what the American manu-
facturer must learn before he can at
tain the widest success in the new
field of foreign trade. Do not send to
Germany catalogues in the English
language or to Japan things decorated
in green, or to the Isthmus Of Panama
anything with blue spots on it. 1t looks

formation as the above may be taught

mind for their everlasting benefit and

In Dreyfus Case Found a Parallel in
"Alice in Wonderland"
There Is a delicious bit Of court non
sense in "Alice in Wonderland" that
bears striking similarity to the seri-
Gus but almost as peculiar trial of
Dreyfus. A recent writer has made the
clever parallel:
There's more evidence to come yet,
please your majesty" said the White
Rabbit, jumping up In great hurry.
This paper has just been picked up"
What is it?' said the Queen.
Il haven't opened it yet" said the
White Rabbit, but it seems to be a
letter written by the prisoner toto
somebody"
"Who is it directed to?" said one of
the jurymen
1T isn't directed at ALL" said the
White Rabbit 'ln fact, there's moth
ing written on the outside" He un-
folded the paper as he spoke, and add
ed' ut isn't a letter, after all; it's a
set Of verses"
Are they in the prisoners handwrit-
mgr asked another of the jurymen.
mo, they're not" said the White Rab-
bit, "and that's the queerest thing
about it."
CThe jury all looked puzzled)
HE must have initiated somebody
else's hand" said the King.
(The jury all frightened up again.)
Please, your majesty" said the
Knave, II didn't write 1t, and they
can't prove l did; there's no name
signed at the end"
"If you didn't sign It," said the King.
that only makes the matter worse.
You must have meant some mischief.
or else you'd have signed your name
like an honest man."
"Let the jury consider their verdict"
the King said, for about the twentieth
time that day.

hungry. But he missed the dog, which
usually followed him to the cabin of
an evening to have her supper. The
herder thought it rather strange, but
made no search for the dog that night.
But next morning he found the gate
open and the faithful dog standing
guard over the tlocks. This herder, IN
his haste the night before, had forgot.
ten to close the gate, and the dog, more
faithful than her master, had remained
at her post all night, though suffering
from hunger and thirst.
ION another occasion this same dog
was left to watch flock of sheep near
the herders cabin while the herder got
his supper. After he had eaten his
supper he went out to where the sheep
were and told the dog to put the sheep
in the corral. This she refused to do,
and, although she had had no supper,
she started off over the prairie as fast
as she could go. The herder put the
sheep In the corral and went to bed.
About midnight he was awakened by
the barking of dog down by the cor
rails. He got up, dressed himself, and
found the dog with band Of about
fifty sheep, which had strayed off dur
ing the previous day without the herd
er's knowledge, but the poor dog knew
1t, and also knew that they ought to
be corraled, and she did it."-Denyer

Women in Brazil and japan.

The legislative bodies Of Brazil and
Japan present a rather striking con-
trast in their policies toward the move
ment for the freedom of women. The
senate of Brazil has under considera-
ton bill to authorize women to prac

japanese parliament has just passed a
new press law which prohibits women
from becoming publishers or editors

several of their pups on my ranges and
could fill volume with instances of
their rare intelligence and faithfulness.
Il remember one pup in particu ar.
He was only six months old when he
was sent out one day to work on the
range. At night, when the herd was
brought up to the corrals, we saw at
once that part of the herd was miss
ing. There were 1,600 head in the
bunch when they went out in the
morning, but when we put them
through the chute we found that 200
were missing. The pup was also miss
ing. Well. all hands turned out for the
search. We hunted all that night and
all of the next day and did not find the
lost sheep until along toward night.
But they were all herded in a little
draw, about five miles from home, and
there was the faithful dog standing
guard. The wolves were very plentiful
in those days and the dog had actually
hidden the sheep from the animals in
the draw. The poor fellow was nearly
famished, as he had been for thirty-six
hours without food or water From
that day he became hero, but was so
badly affected by hunger, exposure and
thirst, subsequent overfeeding and pet
ting that he died not long afterward.
This same pups mother was an
especially fine animal. One night the
herder brought in his fiocks and hur-
ried to his cabin TO cook himself some
supper, for he was more than usually

HOW COLOR AFFECTS INDUSTRY
One Reason Why American Machinery
Is Not More Popular.

A gentleman who has Travelled much
and has a very large interest in Amer
lean export trade said, in conversation
the other day, that the principal draw
back to a wider extension of American
commerce in certain parts of the world
Is that manufacturers in the United
States do not sufficiently study the
wants, the customs and the tastes Of
their prospective customers. For ex-
ample" he said, "a certain American
firm sent some electrical goods, which
were decorated In green, to Japan.
They did not sell any. No japanese
would bring such things into his house;
1t would mean an invitation to the evil
deities. Green is an evil color In japan.
What japanese wants is red things.
Upon this simple matter of color rested
the failure of that manufacturer to
succeed in export trade.
A German employer OF labor said: 81
like American machines so far as their
performance Of their work is concerned,
but they demorallze my men. They

scheme that explains his activity
in the attempt to perpetuate the adj
ministration Installed through
force and fraud His plan is to
contest Senator Blackburn's cleo
tion and rely upon partisan ma
jority in the Senate to seat him. a
Republican paper says:
bradley will contest the election
of Blackburn before the United
States Senate on the ground that a
majority of the men who voted for
Blackburn were fraudulently elect
ed under the Goebel election law,
and that he (Bradley) received a
majority of the votes of the honestly
chosens legislators Of Kentucky.

up in the gladatorial contest now in
progress at Frankfort.
