a Good Showing.

The report of the condition of
the Dewey Consolidated Mining
& Smelling Go. made at their
annual meeting in this city on
January 10, has been printed and
copies received by stockholders
here The report is indeed a
fiattering one and if the property
is nearly rs good as it would indi-
cate there is no question about its
future success. The properties
belonging to this company are the
Admiral, Dewey Fraction, St.
Patrick and Waverly, which were
located in 1899, and are about six
miles east of Grangeville. Since
their location over S2S, 900 has
been expended on the property,
resulting in l76l feet of develop
ment and 9S tons of ore have been
sent to the smclters for treatment :.
giving net returns of Sl3, O25.32.
The first shipment Of l3 tons of
ore was made in May, 1900 and
netted TBS 5, aud the last, of
about Is tons. in November,
netting 50, 500 ga.
Otto Abeling, the mining engi-
neer, has made thorough exam
nation of the property and
estimates that the work already
done has exposed "a $50 tons OF
ore of the value of 1851 900. Mr..
Abeling, with other engineers,
believes that the ores cannot be-
treated by amalgamation and il
has been advised that the highe,
grade ores be smelted while the
lower ore can be reduced on the
ground by the cyanide process
This viii probably be done and =
mill no doubt will be put ON the
property this summer.
General manager, Chas. A
Mariner in his statement says:
The property is in good CON
dition; the work of development
goes steadily on, additional or,
is added to the amount on the
dumps daily; there are some II OF
IA tons Of shipping ore sacked anC
either on the ground or in transit
to the railroad 1t has been de
termined that the upper part o
the property has been sufficient,
exploited, and the work of sinkin,

No. = is under way. There ar,
several things that are necessary
to provide as the work progresses
the principal item being the in
stallation of a reduction plant o
some sort on the ground, and il
the event the railroad is not con
structed to the property, n Wagon
road becomes necessity"
This property, lying as it does
within six miles of Grangevillc
convenient to wood, water an6
transportation facilities, goes t.
show that all good mines are no
located in inacces sible territory
The large am cunt of money spen
in its development has contributed
10 the general prosperity of tn,
county and the splendid showing
made will, without doubt, lead t,
the early development of othe
properties in the same vicinity.

Mrs. Nations Offer.

Another element of uncertainty
has entered into the saloon smash
ing crusade of Mrs. Nation, and
she may soon be coming post haste
to Milwaukee. The inspiration
has probably reached her by this
time, and if she has recovered
from the surprise caused by it, her
answer ought to be on the way.
The Schlitz Brewing company
has made her bona fde offer to
enter its employ, and its offer can
only be outdone by Mrs. Nations
accepting it. Whether she will do
SO remains to be seen. The com
pany is eagerly awaiting her
answer.
The schiitz Brewing company
sent a telegram today 10 Mrs.
Nation, offering her u salary of
5000 a month to become an en-
ploye of the brewing concern on
condition that she will advocate
the moderate use OF the pure
Schlitz product, which has given
name to Milwaukee, among the
denizens of the world.
The following is the telegram as
it was sent out:

lake the case of Woodworking alone
as an illustration of what is meant by
the inexpensive character of beginning
it. Here the learner requires at first
three chief kinds of tools-namely,
some gOuges; two or three fiat chisels
and a veining tool or two. With these
he may practice simple designs. A lit
tie later he may go in for some cary
ing punches and few other tools, all
OF which, from the very start, would
cost him but very little. The art, too,
is by no means difficult to learn: by
any one who takes an interest in it.
What he has chiefly to remember is
not to copy too slavishly the designs
of others, but to show his originality
in creating designs and work of his
own. What applies to wood-carving
applies in the main to all these do

RObbing an Eagles Nest.

The author Of Sport and Travel"
tells how he robbed an eagles nest in
Asia Minor, or rather how he man
aged to get it robbed for him. The
nest was about sixty feet from the
ground, on perpendicular cliff a hum
dred and fifty feet high. He saws:
l. twisted three hundred feet of half
inch cord into a strong rope of less
than half that length, and also made a.
strong but. light rope ladder out of the
ropes from the pack-saddles. I then
sent four men to the top of the cliff,
to let down the long rope directly over
the eagles nest. The rope ladder was
attached to the end of it, and drawn
over the open space where the nest
lay. This was held in place by another
rope tied to tree at the bottom of the
cllH. There was now no difficulty: in
approaching the nest, and no danger
so long as the rope held, although of
course the sensation of being dangled
at the end of a long rope is more or
less unpleasant until one gets accus-
toned to it. Mustapha reached the
nest without difficulty, and brought
down the two eggs in a handkerchief
held between his teeth. We watched
the nest all day, and found that the
mother eagle did not return. We>had
disturbed her on the previous day.. and
so she had evidently deserted. her
home.-Youths' Companion.

LOST THE DESERT

At the Grand Opera House. St. Paul.
Lost in the Desert" new spec
tacular melUdrama of very elaborate
scenic description, will be seen at the
Grand the coming week, commencing
Sunday night. The cast is a large and
competent one, and is headed by Chris
tine Langford, Louis Thiel, Van Dyke
Brown, James Devlin, Phineas Nc
Lean, William Warren and many
equally well known players, number
ing over thirty, and including a native
tribe of desert Arabs especially i'm
ported for this production. The am
b1tlon OF the management has been to
outshlne any previous attempts at
scenic melodrama, and they promise
several new and startling effects. The
play is by Owen Davis, author of sew
eral successful melOdramas, and the
story dWells on the trials and adven-
lures of party of American Travellers
who, after being shipwrecked on the
ARABIAN coast, wander alone into the
desert and at last fall into the hostile
hands Of a band of wandering Arabs,
who carry them into the mountains as
their prisoners and slaves. The hard
ships of this little band of Americans
and their final rescue make up the
story of the play, which allows Of
quite remarkable scope for picturesque
stage settings and stirring situations.
Among the special features of novel
mechanical description are scenes of
raft in mid-ocean, a storm On the
desert, the explosion of bomb in an
underground prison, which demolishes
the walls and opens the way for es-
cape, and the remarkable horse race
effect in the second act This effect
is quite the feature of the perform
ance, and is said to be one Of the most
thrilling mechanical devices ever con-
structed for stage illusions.
