The Sumpter miner. [volume] (Sumpter, Or.) 1899-1905, 1903-05-13

IL is next to impossible to procure
an official statement regarding the
monthly cleanups Of the big mines In
the Sumpter district, since the
operators In this particular invariably
keep the matter to themselves.
However, there are sources through
which the information will leak out.
This information which il known
to be reliable places the output of
the district at over 5000 600 for
the month Of April. When the fact
IL taken into consideration that min
ing operations here arc yet In their
infancy, that there are numerous
properties just reaching the produc-
ing stage, u safe conclusion may be
drawn regarding the future of the
district.
Following are the amounts yielded
In gold bullion by the several mines
during April:
Columbia, Cracker creek, & 30, 900
North Pole, Cracker creek, 100, 900
GolcOnda, Cracker creek, 10000
Bonanza, Gciscr, 5000
Red BOY, Granite, $1,000
Virtue, 5000
The Red Boys cleanup was small

management of that sterling porperty
is concentrating all its force on sink

payshoots. What ore was millcd
during the month came from the
Concord claims of the company.
The North Pole. which is one of
the really great gold mines Of the
world, manages somehow steadily to
maintain an average monthly output
close To the 500, 900 mark. This
figure, Of course, includes the value
Of crude ore and concentrates shipped

A Safe Proceeding,

Lord Lyons, English minister at
Washington during the Civil War, and
afterward ambassador to France. was n
diplomatist to the core. He was ex-

rare art of keeping his own counsel.
When Sir Edward Blount called upon
him one day at the embassy in Paris.
he found that a well-known journalist
had preceded him. The visitor was law

LIVES WITH THE PARIAHS.

American Millionaire Prefers a Resi-
dence Among Outcasts of Japan.
An eminent American alienist. DR.
Barr, records the most peculiar case OF
mental perversion ever known. he be-
lieves, in the history of the world. 1t
sthat OF an American millionaire, who
instead Of living in luxury and ease
among those Of his own kin, has chosen
to reside among the outcasts in far
away Japan. Many years ago he was
one OF the GREATEST specialists in Amer
lea and was provided with vast sums of
money for the purchase of such instru-
ments and assistance as he needed.
His reputation was very great and
he amassed fortune of over $4,000
GOO. Then he took to dissipation,
which soon led to his downfall and.
though rich and handsome, with Gull
tured and aesthetic tastes, he wander
ed away from the United States and
took up life Of revolving excuses
among the ''hanins" or gravediggers
and social outcasts Of Japan.
He caused his body to be tattooed over
every inch Of its surface and after a
time returned to America, exhibiting
the work Of the oriental tattoers to
anyone who would care to look at 1t.
A great dragon, perfectly shaded in
every detail, adorned his back. while
other designs were scattered over other
parts Of his body.
He was, however, cut By all his old
friends and turned out Of all the climbs
and subsequently returned to Japan
where, In the garb of one of the desnis-
ed "hanins," he wandered about the
country with a performing bear and
harem.
His next freak was to hire a SQUAD

Women are still the curious sex.
They want to know" many things
which do not awaken the least desire
in the mind Of a mere man. For in
stance, If Mary had missed the ten
minutes past eleven train, at what
time might she have taken another
train? Why does not the telephone
management employ a pleasant-voiced
person to talk with the graphophone?
Why does the postoffice insist on the
prepayment of postage on Christmas
parcels? Why do hens stop laying is
soon as the price Of eggs goes up?
| These and similar queries will receive
| serious consideration from q woman,
even on her busiest day, and she may
work out answers to them which will
satisfy herself. But beyond these COM
paratively superficial questions, there
lies q great tract of individual human
experience, unexplored and apparently
unexplorable. This is the region Of
unsatisfed curiosity, and to woman
it Is tempting but irritating country.
How does she actually look to her
friends? The story Of the mirror or
the photograph is familiar to her. But
the mirror, she knows by it's reversing
trick, DISCUSSES countenance almost
beyond recognition. The suns trans
cript is sOftened by q fattering human
touch. The portrait painter is incapa-
BILE of the cold truth. So the woman is
forced to give over the attempt to sat
isfy her curiosity as to the image she
produces on the retina Of her friends
Then there is the large matter of love-
making. Is it not trying, considering
how fascinating the subject is, that a
woman should know only how one man
makes love-Or, at most, two, or three,
or six men? Can feminine nature en-
dure that she should know how an
even smaller number Of men conduct
that most difficult Of affairs, the offer
Of marriage? Students Of Shakespeare
are likely to be surprised when they
find that according to that great di-
vineF Of human nature, the first word
about marriage fell from the lips of
Juliet and Miranda--not from those Of
Romeo and Ferdinand. Was Shak-
Speare right? What part do women
really play in that critical and exciting
Alas! the answer to that
question lies still deeper in the mac
cessible land Of unsatisfied curiosity.
