THE LICENSED BARBER.

Under a cool electric fan
 The licensed barber stands, A conversational man is he,
 With father on his hands: And the muscles of his wagging jaw Are strong as iron bands. He was examined yesterday
 By an examining board, A bunch of wise commissioners His thing tank had explored: And they had found it, seemingly, Sufficiently we'll stored. These questions they had handed him: What line of talk would you Employ in shaving business men?" Also. What would you do In case a man refused to talk And rudely snapped, Get through!' How many times should you inquire Of each man whom you shave: How do you like this weather, sir?' And as you deftly lave His raw, scraped face, do you discuss The trust dilemma grave?" These queries and a thousand more The barber answered right And. though his razor grieve you sore He's now a licensed knight: His talk is smooth-as for his work. That matters not m!tei

A Boyhood Incident.

Judge Egglestor had related how his distinguished schoolmate had cut his name, in the desks and walls of the old country schcolhouse. and finally pass ed on to a memory of one snowy day when young Parker was trudging along the narrow path between drifts and met the team of a grabbed super annuated Methodist clergyman who consistently refused to turn out for those who fared on foot. Parker walk ed up to the horses head. seized the bridle. and, before the parson recov- cred from his surprise. led the team into snowdrift and tied the horse se- curely by the reins to a fence. And that" said Judge Eggleston, was the first time that Judge Parker laid down the judicial principle that the pedes- trian has the right of way."-New York Times.

Shelter Ready to Start-Other News
 of That District.

The Wickenburg smelter well is ai- most completed, says the News Herald The boiler has been fired up and the pump put in operation to clean the well ot superfluous water. The water supply will be ample when another IuT OI five feet are sunk.
 The News Herald had the honor of delivering the first carloaad of ore to the new shelter. Others have brought ill some, and indications are that there will soon be sufficient ore to start up on. The Electra people are getting teams as fast as possible and will bring Tn about twenty tons q day, in the rear future.
 Superintendent Margueritch of the Electra took MT Roberts of the smelter out to his company's property to sam pie the same. MT. Roberts took sam ples from the four faces on the drifts ct the 90 and l25 foot levels and sens them to reliable assayer, who gave the following values as the result Of his test: Gold $25.20, silver 63c and copper : per cent. This proves that Electra ores will bear smelting.
 Nickerson & Wilson are showing their confidence in the smelter by plac- ing their ores on its dump. They are doing their share to keep the camp moving. They are not going to allow the mines around Wickenburg to get a black 6Ne by allowing the smelter to go on the bum for want of ore If our camp is 10 go ahead we must all pull together and at once. Other mining men should not let a few do all the work or try to do it all. few can keep the shelter temporarily supplied, but in order to make it a lasting suc- cess. every enc must do his best.
 J. McNaughton and others of Los Angeles have secured an option on the Wickenburg dump of the Vulture mine. They have taken samples and will have them tested and if the tests are satis- factory they will cyanide the entire proposition. In view of the primitive methods by which the Vulture was worked there remains little doubt but what the tests will be satisfactory
 The Profusion group of mines is the scene of considerable renewed activity. Oscar Jennings has secured q sinking and drifting contract. One hundred feet of sinking on the ledge will be done at once and considerable drifting will follow. This group belongs to Cleve- land, Ohio. people and they are going tO push development work rapidly ana scientifically. This is one of the fa- nous groups of the country. having 1 been located by Jack Ellis a long time ago. Assays have given high values in both gold and copper. We hope the company will continue the work, for this camp is in the heart of the best mining country of the territory, and all l it has to do to get a mine is to do the development work.

Troubles of the Millionaire.

Those who are inclined to envy the lot of the multi-millionaire should con- slider the case of Charles M. Schwab, head CT the United States Steel corpor- alton, who is trying to spend a vacation in peace and quiet and who is finding his effort a failure.
 MT. Schwab, after the appointment of his assistant. disappeared from New York, but it was not twenty-four hours before an enterprising correspondent discovered him in Philadelphia, trying to hide behind a palm in a hotel din ing-room. On the same day a Colorado Springs correspondent found out that MT. Schwab. wearing a blue and white rain coat and a pair of side whiskers, was somewhere in the Garden of the Gods. A Manitou hackdriver, who is never known to lie, had seen the heaC of the steel trust leaning against a burro while a tintype artist took his picture. Ten hours later MT. Schwab was reported at a Wisconsin summer resort, where it was hinted he had gone to ascertain if steel filings, fired broad side, could be used to kill off mos quitoes.
 The country has yet to hear from Palm Beach. Coronado Beach, Newport and several other prominent resorts. but we have no doubt that MT. Schwab will appear at all those places in due time, and that his arrival will be duly chronicled by the active correspondents who feel it their duty to keep any multi-millionaire from absenting him. self from public view. In the mean time the humble citizen who goes away on a vacation. and who finds that the world doesn't care a rap where he brings up or what he does, should re- fleet on MT. Schwab's case and be hap py.-Denver Republican.

A PHILosoPHIC TRAMP.

 So much had she been troubled by tramps that, when he asked for food. she said:

 Do you think. madame. the man who does not eat ought to be expected to wOrk?" asked the tramp with Chesterfieldian bow.

THE GOLD STANDARD GROUP
A Black Rock Property That Ought to
 Attract Capital.

While there is such a widespread in- tereSt among mining men locally, s we'll as others. in the Black Rock min- ing district, it is not strange that new diggings are occasionally reported. But when one comes to go over the district, says the Wickenburg New Herald, and looks up some of the older diggings which have not yet been exploited. it causes surprise. Recently we have made two trips into this richly mineralized belt and we have found something of extraordinary interest each time. One of the most worthy properties that has long lain obscure is the Gold Standard group, owned by J. w. Gunnell.
 These claims have been in his pos- session for the past seven years. He operated them years ago with an aras- tra and took out over S11 per ton by that primitive method. He has a very rich vein, about four thousand feet long, and, at pointe where he has work ed a thickness of about three feet has been shown up. He has an incline shaft sunk on the ledge, which dips at an angle of about 20 degrees from the per Dendicular, a distance of fifty-five feet MT. Gunnell is thinking of getting Up a stock comfpany for the operation of the property We hope he may sue ceed in getting some one with capital to take hold of it, as We feel confident that this would give a new impetus to the mining industry of the vicinity. We have horned some specimens that we took ourselves and the entire ledge of three feet shows good values in gold. It is free milling quartz with oxide of iron in 1t.

QUEER DECOYs FOR FISHING.

"Lau melomelo'' is what the Hawa- iian fishermen call this decoy.
 It is made of the hardest wood to be found on the islands, and is carved and rubbed till it assumes the shape of a club with a little knob at the smaller end, to which the line is tied.
 The club is from 1 to feet long. A village sorcerer performs certain rites over it over a sacred fire. After this is done the club is magic and the fisher man must be extremely careful off it. If woman should step over it or enter a canoe in which it lies the club would forever lose all its power and be use less ever afterward.
 After the club has heen charmed. the fisherman mixes candlenut and coacoa- nut meat, bakes it, and ties the mix ture in a wrapper of coacoanut fiber.
