MINING NOTES.

The improvements under way at the
Bonanza mine near Baker City, Or,
centering around the installation of a
large hosting plant, will cost in the
neighborhood of 100000, it is estima-
ted.
The ten stamps in the old Flagstaff
mill, just east of Baker City, are rum
ming day and night and the new owners
p. r. Campbell and Co., New York
firm, are pushing work with a large
force of men.
The owners of the Wasco claim at
Park City, South Half, Wn., have cut a
stringer of ore tina. will average about
$50 per ton in gold and copper. The
strike was made in the face of the tun-
mel, which is in 1856 feet, and if their
measurements are correct, the main
ledge will be tapped within the next
20 feet.
There is a chance that the price of
lead paid to the mine owners of the
Occur d'Alenes will be reduced below
the present arbitrary quotation of four
cents per pound. A conference between
the mine owners and the American
Smelling and Refining company will
be held in New York Wednesday, and
it will probably continue for five days.
Besides resuming work in the lower
tunnel, the Morning Mining company
is increasing it's force at the mine at
Mullan, Idaho, and it's consequent out
put to a considerable extent, and still
more men will be added. For two or
three months the output has been far
below the normal, the force employed
at the mine only being about one-half
that of times when work was being
pushed to the full capacity of the con-
centrator.

Some Of the inmates Of a Yorkshire
asylum were engaged in saving wood,
and an attendant thought that one old
fellow, who appeared to be working
as hard as anybody, had not much to
show for his labor.
Approaching him the attendant soon
discovered the cause of this. The old
man had turned his saw upside down,
with the teeth in the air, and was
working away with the back Of the
tool.
"Here, I say, J." remarked the
attendant, what are you doing? You'll

In inaugurating the monument Of
Colocotrenis, at Nauplie, Greece, King
George delivered a long speech,
which has produced a profound i'm
preston, and which is strongly COM
mented on by the Athenian press. In
this speech the king mentioned the
sacrifices the nation has yet to endure
in order to fulfil its mission.
1--WE shall" he said accomplish the
work Of the heroes of the war for in
dependence, work which was left
incomplete. For this object We ought
to labor continuously, and watch the
defenses of our country both on land
and on sea. The duty of ma
lions is not to neglect their mission,
and to this end they must persistently
work in preparing and Strengthening
their army. :. Our duty IS to up
hold our national traditions, language,
desires and right inviolate. If
we desire to keep our independence
we must strive in order to be able to
do it."
King George has never before spok-

cal parties have received it with en-,

discover nothing at all that looked like
snakes or flowers. And they couldn't

We got an old lace curtain from Gil

mers, going upstairs for the night, was
surprised to hear her presence request

several hours before.
"Say, mamma" he called, softly,

witch, hazel or something on the back
of my neck? It's smarting just awful,

Mrs. Curtis, strange to say, was also
called upon to battle and anoint Gil
roy's smarting neck and shoulders be-

before either Of the "Tattooed Part
ners" found 1t convenient to turn their
heads suddenly or to lean back in their
chairs.
