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 Anacortes a 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 ther property, continued
working it until about two years ago,
when 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 LOO pounds
each and is substantially constructed.
The property has 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

NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE MINING WORLD
THE ROSSLAND DISTRICT
New Owners of the Giant Take Hold
of the Property.

Rossland, B. c., June 14.-The

shaft in preparation for the resumption
of sinking on the ore body. This
work is being done by A. D. Coplen
and w. 6. Arm strong. of Spokane.
the representatives of Philadelphia and
Michigan capitalists, who have OBJ
tanned control OF the company. The
new owners express confidence that
the Giant will make mine, and are
willing to spend money to proving 1t.
They are the third party to make the at
tempt, the last being Colonel w. M.
Ridpath, E. G. Sanders and others OF
the old LIE Roi syndicate, from Spo-
kane, but they threw up their bond
last April.
Other Canadian Mines.
Work is to be started on the n oIth-
ern Belle, which adjoins the st. Elmo,
on Red mountain, by R. E. Palmer,
who has just returned from Montreal,
where he received instructions from
the owners. There is good showing
and if the summers work confirms its
value a plant will be installed in the
fall.
Andrew Drewey and others have
bonded the Sunset, near Whitewater,
in the SLOGAN, for 100000. 1t adjoins
the Wellington and short extension
of the tunnel from that claim will tap

Wonderful Memories of the Blind.
The acuteness of their memories
seems to be a compensation for the
blind. One Of the visitors to the read.
ing room for the blind in the National
Library at Washington expressed q
desire to learn to use the typewriter,
There was none provided, SO Mr.,
Hutcheson very kindly sent down his
own. The girl sat down to the ma
chine, and had explained to her the
position of the letters and the key
board slowly read to her twice. She
practiced for few moments, and then
wrote letter in which there were
only three mistakes, feat which It
would be difficult for seeing person
to surpass. One afternoon Mrs. Ward.
the Kansas vice regent of the Mount
Vernon Association, read in the pa-
vilion. While doing SO she repeated
Iron Quilts well-known verses on
Dewey's victory, beginning, "Oh,
Dewey was the morning." Later in
the afternoon one of the blind listeners
broaght to her complete CODY of all
of the verses, which he had remember
ed from hearing her.-Woman's Home

Common DeIusion.

Full nine out of ten persons plume
themselves on being different from
others, when their very belief in the
notion Is its own contradiction. We
complacently aver, 81 have such keen
sense of the ridiculous" when a true
sense Of humor would have prohibited
the boast. But what we most plume
ourselves upon-if we are the average
woman or man-is our power to read
character. II may not be particularly
clever" We'll observe, with that guile
less braggadocio which masquerades
as humility. "but of one thing Pm GER
tain, and that is, I'm a good judge of
human nature. Pm never deceived in
a person, when, If such perspicacity
were really possessed, we'd say moth
ing about it before those capable of
scenting our limitations.

Yet Trade, on the Whole. Is Salts
fastory.

Yet Trade, on the Whole. Is Salts
fastory.
Bradstreets' says: Measured by re-
cent records and recollections OF busi-
ness activity, the present between
seasons dullness seems specially mark
ed, and the reactionary movement OF
prices makes trade look worse than it
really is. Judged by such indicators
as railroad tariffs and statistics of
foreign trade, the volume of business
doing is considerably larger than year
ago, when, it will be recalled. trade
was cheerfully active. 1t is true bank
clearings are considerably smaller than
last years clearings, which undobtedly
included much of the speculative char
acter this year almost wholly absent;
and vet outside of the metropolis bank
clearings are heavier this year than
last.
Wool is dull, and, on the whole,
weak in the East, while good prices
have been secured in the West. Man.
ufacturers are not buying. because their
business is not active. and lower rates
for the next lightweight season for
mems wear goods are predicted, though
leading mill agents will guarantee
prices as late as October.
Lower prices for iron and steel have
not met expectations of causing re-
duction in output and increased stock,
though this latter feature apparently
has been magnifed because supplies of
high-grade pig iron are still scarce,
particularly at the South. On the
other hand. low grades are in plentiful
supply, with little demand.
Rails and structural steel are still
we'll held, but there is talk of leduc-
ton in prices for the latter product.
The other metals are dull. and the
whole weak.

Amputated Log Sensations.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press writes: "My right leg was taken
off at the middle third of the thigh
nearly thirty years ago, but since that
time the sensation of the presence OF
toes, instep. heel, foot or knee is stron-
ger than in the other leg, or stronger
than it was before amputation. To me
it seems that when the leg Is at rest,
normally, there is no consciousness Of
any sensation at all in it, whereas
there is always more or less sensation
in the stump. My leg was amputated
in such position that 1t seems when I
stand to be fiexed with the foot behind
me. l have often tried to get 1t out
of the way of a closing door or Of per-
sons passing me on the street. To this
day I often fall by trying to put out
my foot on the floor when springing
quickly from sitting position. Year
by year, also, there is sensation Of
shortening, the foot seeming to come
nearer the body. II make an effort
as IL to extend the knee sensation
of heat occurs in the stump. although
the rest Of my body may BE- freesing.e

Dickens at Tynemouth.

The London Academy quotes from
an unpublished letter of Dickens his
account of his visit to Tynemouth, on
one of his reading tours"
II wish you could have been with
me (of course, in snowstorm) one day
on the pier at Tynemouth. There was
a very heavy sea running, and a per.

plunging In and out on the turn of the

came a golden horizon, and a most
