On Death and Burial.

'FBe not solicitous after pomp at my
burial, nor use any expensive funeral
ceremony"
THAT man were better forgotten
who had nothing Of greater moment
to register his name by than grave"
Neither can l apprehend tomb
stone to add SO great a weight of glors
to the dead as it doth of charge and
trouble to the living"
"Unquietness importunes a living
body more than a ceremony can adj
vantage one that is dead"
Death, if he may be guessed at by
his elder brother, Sleep, cannot be so
terrible messenger, being not WITH
out much ease if not some voluptuous-
ness. Besides, nothing in this world
is worth coming from the housetop to
fetch it, much less from the deep
grave, furnished with all things, be-
cause empty of desires"

Messrs. W. L. Eiinger and L. II. La

OF this city expect to leave this even

ment on a well known gold mine In
that State. Mr.. Efinger did not care
to release the details Of the proposition
until the payment has been made lie

has been made and the money has been
subscribed to take 1t up Accompany
ing Messrs, Efiinger and Lathrop Is
Professor Roberts, who will make a I'm

will be paid over. The bond calls Tor
the payment Of 100000. Regarding the

day farther than that 1t is n free mill
ing gold property Of great promise, Mr..
Ehlnger returned from Michigan yes
terday after interesting a number of
Detroit people in the proposition. The
capital Is all furnished by Detroit men,
and the fact that the above gentlemen
are able to secure so much backing
from one city bears strong testimony to
the excellence Of their judgment In Sc
lecting worthy properties. In addition
to the Ophlr Of Stateline which is said
to have 1000, 900 worth Of ore in sight,
Detroit capital has found It's way
through these men into the old Tie

Bingham, which are being made TO

They are also employing a small force
az the New Mammoth to prove up the
value of the gold chute developed in
the upper levels Of that property. Their
uniform success in their undertakings
warrants the belief that the Idaho

chasers.
Messrs. Lathrop and Eftlnger expect
to be away about 4 days when the de-
tails Of the transaction are promised.

what Bradstreet's and Dun's Review
Say of Situation Bank
CIearlngs.

New York, Aug, PR. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review Of Trade tomorrow will
say; Continued favorable weather con-
ditions have resulted in the saving Of
much ~late-planted corn, and In the
Northwest ideal weather for spring
wheat harvest has been enjoyed. AS
this Is the point that business in all
parts Of the country has been most
carefully watched. the general feeling
Is better than a week ago.
1.-THE disposition on both sides to set
tie the steel strike has not yet resulted
In any agreement and the labor situa-
ton Is thus kept prominent. Official
returns of pig iron production In the
hrst half OF the year show a record
breaking aggregate of 1874, 713 tons, ex-
ceedlng the remarkable output Of the
previous year by 81 ,O4i tons. The Sec
ond half Of 1901 has opened with a much
greater capacity OF active furnaces,
and the full year promises a consider
ably larger total than the 10, 7S9. 242
tons produced In 1900. During the past
week leading mills have placed large
contracts for early delivery. and In
quirles Tor all forms Of finished steel
are abundant. There is less disposition
TO pay fancy prices for products that
were advanced by the strike, which Is
an evidence OF the general belief In
early resumption OF work. An unfavor-
able showing for the first half year In
both exports and output OF copper re-
suit In the first alteration In nominal
prices since the advance to II cents
eight months ago,
Wheat is especially active, Western
receipts for the week reaching 6,50S, 81
bushels, against 5000, 761 bushels last
year, and 4,73i,363 bushels two years
ago, while Atlantic exports were t.
Sl4,996 bushels, against 2,7S7, 7S9 in 1900,
and 3, 765, 7S7 bushels In 1899.
Dealers in some drouth-strlcken dis
trlcts have countermanded orders for
footwear, and these cancellations are
felt mainly by Western makers, but,
as a whole, the industry Is In a healthy
position. Leather Is quiet, shoe fac
tories buying lightly owning TO large
supplies taken recently. The arrivals
In hides tends to depress values.
Wool has at last risen slightly above
the lowest point in four years. The cot
ton market awaits the government re-
port in a dull and weak position.

Sunshine Developments.

George C. Moore, who secured the OPP
ton on the Sunshine property, came In
from the mine a few days ago. A force
Of twelve men is engaged In prospect
ing the various levels, but Mr., Moore
says he has not met with much en-
enlargement thus far. The 3%00-level
Is looking best Of all, but even there the
ore body shows no regularity In size like
the Overland vein. On the 200-leyel the
vein Is much broken mp and the values
are not high. The 400 Is not showing
anything worth talking about as far as
values are concerned. Thus far Mr..
Moore says the work on the 400-level
has been very disappointing. Unless a
marked change occurs it is very prob
able that the parties who have the OPP
tion will rellnquish their rights before
