Vile is to have as a permanent entef-

fast horses have footed it on the turf

CHRISTMAS SHOPLIFTING AMONG
SOCIETY WOMEN OF SPOKANE

tion counter in one of the big River
side ave. department stores yester-
day. There was nothing remarkable
in her appearance aside from an air
of gentle breeding which seemed al
most homogeneous with her over-aver-
age stature and her generous figure.
There were scores of well dressed
women about her and she excited ap-
parently no attention.
A little salesgirl, half screened by
a pile of boxes on neighboring coun-
ter, unmindful of the busting crowd,
had her blue eyes fixed their widest
upon the lower edge of that sealskin
sacque. In her excitement she trem-
bled and then she did a bold thing
quietly.
At the soft touch upon her arm
the beautifully clad woman turned.
"Will you pay for the gloves now?"

above a whisper, but pointing a
steady forefinger to the tell-tale glove

VEINS ARE ERRATIC.

c. C. Ladd, just back from the
Ymir district, says that peculiar
condition exists in that region. Near
ly all the deposits of mineral are of
the low grade gold persuasion, but
in many instances the lodges are of
the blankest type, very erratic though
producing good values.
1T is a good leasing proposition,
but most of the claims about Ymir
don't pay for their owners to oper-
ate. In the case of a lease, one or
two men can and do generally handle
the entire work. When the leads be-
gin to get too cranky the lease is in a
position to be thrown up and the
miners may seek leasable claims
elsewhere"
Mr.. Ladd thinks so much of the
locality that after completing the
transfer of his stock ranch near Cou-
lee City he will return to resume
work on his claims.
